Mrs. Claire Cable Wiswall, wife of Dr.Thomas A. IViswall, died on February 16 after a short illness. Mrs. Wiswall was prominent in club and American Red Cross activities in her home in Falmouth, Mass. She was first president of the Junior Guild of St. Barnabas Church, a member of the Falmouth Outlook Club, Garden Club, Daughters of the American Revolution, Falmouth Historical Society, Falmouth Nursing Association, the National Glass Club, Ma)flower Society and Massachusetts Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Mrs. Wiswall is survived by her husband, two daughters, Mrs. George H. Bigelow of Falmouth and Mrs. Philip Richardson of Upper Montclair, N. J. and four grandchildren. The sympathy of every member of the class is extended to Tom and his family in their great loss.

A long letier from Bob Harding outlines some plans lor the Spring in the Boston area. First and most important of these events will be the dinner of the five classes. 1901-02-03-04-05 to be held 011 Friday evening, May 9th, at Schiallts 011 West Street in Boston. This dinner is growing in popu.arity each year and promises to be bigger and better than ever this year. It is expected that President Dickey will be present and former Governor Channing Cox 01 will again preside. Last year, as I recall, 1905 with twenty members present was second in attendance. Let's make it thirty this year. Make your plans now to combine that business trip with the pleasure of attending the dinner. Every 1905 mail within a hundred miles of Boston, we hope, will make the supreme effort, to join the crowd. Send your reservation to Bob Harding, 52 Chauncey Street, Boston 11, Mass. Bob also announces that the class picnics will be resumed this Spring. Notices and details will be sent later. On February 26 the Boston Alumni held their annual dinner and these 1905 men were present:—Elsie Grover, Jim Donnelly, RogerBrown, Cliff Pierce, Midge Reed, Fred Weston,Roy Parkinson and our reporter, Bob Harding. Parkinson had the honor of sitting with his father at the Class of '78 table.

How that Conley family does get around! A card from Walt sent from Patagonia, Ariz., states that after a six weeks' sojourn there, they go to Yosemite, the Grand Canyon and home by the middle of April. A wonderful trip at this time of the year and we all envy you,. Walt.

I am indebted to Roy Parkinson for a copy of the review of Dr. John Fulton's book, Harvey Cushing, the story of a great medical pioneer. The review was written by our own Dr.Halsey B. Loder and appeared in the Boston Traveler. Halsey is most enthusiastic about both the subject and the writer. He recommends the volume not only for the professional reader but for the lay reader and has treated the subject most skillfully. C. C. Hills was in Boston in January and dropped in on Bob Harding. No doubt he visited other members of the class. No details have come to me.

Gene Musgrove calls attention to an interesting coincidence in the February issue of the MAGAZINE which I want to pass on. In that ■issue in our class notes is a sonnet written by Gene and on page 46 in 1910 notes is a poem written by Victor Johnson, a full blooded Indian, in his freshman English. Gene was his instructor and sent the poem to the MAGAZINE where it appeared in the June 1907 issue.

Soon after this issue of the MAGAZINE is in your hands, your secretary will be settled on Cape Cod for the summer. From May 1 to October 15 please send all communications to Centerville, Mass.

The following are new addresses: Chester M. Lawrence, 3055 N. W. Vaughn, Portland 10, Oregon: Alexander R. Maynard, 19609 Shrewsbury Drive, Detroit 21, Mich.

Secretary and Treasurer, < 8027 Seminole Ave., Philadelphia 18, Pa.
