1894*

Decker Field has moved to 3251 West Pershing Road, Lincoln, Nebraska. Says Mrs. Decker, "The latchstring is always out. Come and see us." They sold their house in Omaha and bought this home in Lincoln so as to be near their daughters, Jean and Lillian, and their grandchildren. Decker celebrated his 70th birthday the 27th of March when the officers and employees of the Omaha Hardwood Lumber Company gave a large banquet for him. .... Paul Jenks hasn't moved but has retired, after 35 years of teaching Latin in the Flushing High School. Says the NewYork Herald Tribune of July 2: "Mr. Jenks is known to several generations of students whose recollections of high-school days are that all Gaul is divided into three parts and that Mr. Jenks has the fancy for enlivening his classes with jokes, an apparent peculiarity for all Latin teachers. His hobby is gardening and he never has been known to wear an overcoat even in weather cold enough to feaze Hannibal's elephants." .... In the spring the Secretary took a swing around the circle in Connecticut, seeing Herman Lovejoy in his comfortable home on Highland Street, New Haven; seeing Quincy Blakely in his enlarged home in West Hartford; and Editor Sherman in the Courant sanctum. All seemed to be flourishing, including even the editor. The job of interpreting world affairs to his readers in these days is .no sinecure The Secretary is not the only '94 man who looks up his classmates as he travels about the country. Judge Wilson was in Florida last spring, saw the Spooners and E. O. Grover at Winter Park, and James McGroty at St. Petersburg. Says the Judge: "All were looking young and well and, as we now say about used tires, 'look as if they had a good many thousand miles in them still.' " . John Leverett Merrill Jr., has been entered for the class of 1962 (or thereabouts) at Dartmouth. He will be the sth of the family in continuous succession and the third of that name, his great grandfather having graduated in '56, his grandfather in '94, and his father in '32. His great, great grandfather was of the class of 1828.
