1885

A recent letter from Lorrain Weeks voices a sentiment that the secretary heartily endorses. He says, "I wish once in a while our old grads would turn out for inspection in the columns of our good MAGAZINE. I wish we might have words from Whipple, Parker, Cragin, Dr. Brooks and the others."

Brooks writes that he and Mrs. Brooks enjoyed two months last summer at his old home in Eliot, Maine. His daughter, Elizabeth, and son, Raymond, were with them a portion of the time. Clarkson School of Technology, of which Brooks is President Emeritus, like other colleges, has its greatly enlarged student body. In place of the 57 students when he became president in 1911 there are now 1400 and the problem of housing them is acute.

Miss Helen E. Melendy, sister of our classmate, George E. Melendy and honorary member of the class, has recently moved from her former address, Hotel Alvord, to 312 Fuller Terrace, Orange, N. J. She is in fairly good health considering her age of well over 90 years.

The secretary acknowledges Christmas greetings from Mrs. Frank E. Allard, Mrs. Marion Bayley Buchanan and Al Briggs. He and Mrs. Austin count themselves fortunate to be in Florida while the rest of the country is experi- encing cold weather. Practically every day dur- ing November and December has been "shirt sleeve weather."

The secretary urges the long silent members of the class to give heed to Weeks' request.

Secretary and Treasurer, 433 4th St., N., St. Petersburg 4, Fla.
