This issue of the MAGAZINE is largely devoted to class reunions. We will rejoice in the happiness of other classes while recalling our exquisite experience at our 50th two years ago.

The Boston gang met at Patten's Restaurant May 17, with seven men present. Frank Griffin was the star attendant, not having been with us for a considerable time. The others were Howland, Knowlton, Lyon, Marden, C. C. Merrill, and B. Smalley. Henry Howland's approaching happiness cast a pleasant spell over the occasion. We were sorry to miss Victor Spooher on his way through Boston. Phil Marden disclosed that he was furtively at work on another magnum opus, namely his autobiography.

"What is so rare as a day in June" became a splendid reality for Henry Howland, when on June 26 in Brookline, at the home of the bride's daughter, he %vas married to Mrs. Minnie Louise (Edson) Parker of Franconia, New Hampshire. They will live in Franconia. Henry says, "Be sure that you or any other of the boys call when you can." We surely will!

Major Tenney sends in a new address: 1530 East 62nd Street, Seattle 5, Washington.

Seven of the '94 men went into the medical profession. Of these, three are now living, namely Tenney, W. H. Merrill, and Fred Smalley. A sketch of Fred Claggett, the most recent to go, will be found in the obituary pages. His daughter, Barbara, was also injured in the accident, but not fatally—and her son, 8, died with his grandfather.

On his annual trip to Hanover for the meeting of the Class Secretaries, the writer of this column had short visits with Cassin and Mrs. Hardy. He also talked by telephone with Arthur Stone, who is rejoicing in the fact that another former member of the Chandler School, Ben Welton, has purchased a summer place in Vermont, not far from White River Junction.

Health Notes'. Fred Allen has gained enough strength so that he is able to spend someweeks at his old home in Hopkinton, Rhode Island. Maurice Sherman, who has also had a hospital experience, was gaining at last accounts and hoping soon to go dowri to the office, at least for a short stay.
