1894

This column takes pleasure in announcing two marriages:—First, our class treasurer, William M. Ames, was married June 18 to Mrs. Nettie R. Lord of Dover, N. H. Billy has sold the house on Prospect St., in Somersworth, where he and his family lived so long and are now, says Billy, "in a rented house near the old one. Very comfortable and happy."

The second couple to step out are James Forsythe Hall Jr. and Miss Elizabeth Granger Mann, who were married in Christ Church, Indianapolis, Ind., August 24. A reception was held at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Laray Mann, at 5808 Broadway. This is the daughter who was included among Jimmy's grandchildren in "Fifty Years After." Now the record is straightened out, for all the '94 world to know. At our 55th we hope to see Jimmy and his wife, with all the fine daughters, the three (at least) sons-in-law and the two (at least) grandchildren.

But August in the '94 family was significant not only for the wedding of Jimmy Mann's daughter. P. Marden and wife, B. Smalley, and Paul Jenks and wife and daughter were at the Hanover Inn for sojourns of varied length. Indeed, the Jenks' were there for only part of a day, but in that day there was a very happy '94 party.

The Jenks', by the way, were on their way south from a prolonged stay at Camp Agiochook (the original name of Mount Washington, if this columnist is rightly informed) in Whitefield, where in years before the war it was their habit to spend their summers. B. Smalley reports that Paul has gained in health and appearance since the Fiftieth.

The announcement in the last MAGAZINE that the 25th-year class had presented the College with a gift of $26,217 prompted this writer to compare this with the gift which '94 made at its 25th Reunion in 1919. That was 125,664. It has now at last been exceeded, though 1919 came within $123 of equalling it two years ago.

*1 he Archon, the school paper of Governor Dummer Academy, in its issue of June carries a picture of "George Ernest Duffy 11, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph E. Duffy of Worcester, co-captain of baseball, editor of the Archon, winner of the Moody Kent prize in Spanish and the Master's prize." The Master's prize is awarded each year "to the boy who, by his unselfishness and sportsmanship, has best exemplified the spirit of the school." Strange to say, this grandson of our Class Marshall enters Dartmouth College this fall.

No Dartmouth-Harvard game in Boston this year. Hence the Matt Jones fall Round-up will probably be held in November.
