1889

The annual gathering of '89 men at Commencement time brought to Hanover last June for our 61st anniversary of graduation six members of our class: Bard, Bartlett,Chase, Ferguson, Frost and Warden. Also present in our group were Mrs. Harry Frost and Orin F. Perry of Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., a grandson of Ferguson. "Doc" Warden, our class president, who made his usual annual trip from his home in Great Falls, Mont., specially to be present, was host at a dinner in the main dining room of the Hanover Inn on the evening of June 9. Seated at the dinner table were all members of our class group, except Mr. and Mrs. Frost whose social engagement elsewhere prevented, and also, as special invited guests, Hadlock, Howland, Gage and Sanborn of the class of '87. The following evening our class president was again host at a dinner in the Inn attended by our six members and Mrs. Frost and Mr. Perry. While in Hanover letters were signed and mailed to each absent living class member, and a group photograph was taken. In the procession to the Bema for the Baccalaureate and Commencement Exercises Sunday forenoon, President Warden and the Class Secretary marched with the alumni body and were seated on the platform.

Montana newspapermen on August 19, at their annual convention, took time out to wish a happy birthday for "Doc" Warden, publisher for 60 years of the Great Falls (Montana) Tribune, who became 85 that day. Publishers of various newspapers in the state eulogized the career of Montana's veteran publisher.

Arthur Chase and George Bard also observed birthdays in August, both on August 24, the former completing 83, the latter 85 years.

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Frost were guests at the Hanover Inn August 9 and 10.

Among summer activities on the distaff side of our class group, Mrs. David Blakely went to Ogunquit, Me., for July, accompanied by Miss Mary Fletcher of Hanover, N. H. During August she was at the Seaward Inn, Rockport, Mass., with Miss Bertha Blakely, our late classmate's sister. Mrs. Blakely's daughter Elizabeth and her husband, Robert Bates Taylor, spent the summer in Europe. They flew to England late in June with plans to fly back from Madrid, Spain, the middle of September before the opening of Phillips Andover Academy, where Mr. Taylor is instructor in Spanish.

Mrs. Benjamin F. Ellis, her two daughters and her granddaughter went to Colorado for their summer vacation, where they had marvelous weather exploring mountain trails high up in the Rockies. Miss Martha Flagg Emerson, niece of our late classmate, was in Ithaca, N. Y., through the summer, visiting at the home of her sister, Mrs. Edmund E. Day.

Mrs. Burt Redfield was, as usual, at her camp in the beautiful White Mountain region of New Hampshire which she and her late husband acquired many years ago. Passaconaway Valley, Conway, N. H., is her mailing address there.
