1898

With the fine cooperation from the members of the class, Jack Spring was enabled to continue the high standing of the class in this year's Alumni Fund campaign. The class stood ninth in both the Participation Index of number of contributors, with 132% and 45 contributors, and the Percentage of Objective, with 138% and $1490.47 contributions. Congratulations, Jack.

After nine years' service as minister of the. Community Church at Stratham, N. H., EvSnow retired on September 15. His new home is in Norwell, Mass., near that of a married daughter, and is on River Street where he will welcome a call from any and all of his classmates. His post office address is Hanover, Mass.

Mush and Bantie Jones came north for the summer. Their new and permanent address is 231 93rd St., Surfside, Fla.

Bob Peck wrote that they are still as well as they have a right to expect. He also said that Mary Swift, widow of Fletcher, had recently called on them and that she is still living in the same home in Berkeley, Calif., which they occupied while Fletcher lived.

Doc and Anna Nolan were again this summer at the old homestead in Middleboro, Mass. Anna reported that Doc was about the same except a little older.

Florida is again calling and Fred Bennis writes that they will again be heading for Florida if all goes well.

After November 1, the address of your secretary will be Twin-Oak Apartments, 430 Oak Avenue, Clearwater, Fla.

This is not authoritative but it was reported that Joe and Kit Carney were also among the members of the class who wintered at least a part of last winter in Florida.

Jack Spring was laid up most of the summer and spent several, weeks in the hospital. At the time of writing these notes he was very much recovered, looked fine and was able to spend some time in his office.

In October or November Fred and JeanLord will go to Florida for the winter and their address will be 960 Broadway, Dune-din, Fla.

Classmates have all received postal cards, I think, giving information on the death of our Classmate Gerould. More particular information was published in the last issue of the MAGAZINE.

Early in April I motored to Winter Park, Fla., in spite of the beginning of pain which I didn't dream was sciatica. While at Winter Park, I saw Joel Harley and his wife, and Austin several times. I talked with Austin about what he calls his "Mathematical Bible." It is a most interesting study that he has made and he hopes to publish the results of his study. He has already received invitations to appear in public to lecture on his Mathematical Conclusions.

"Sliver" Rice and his estimable wife have been vacationing in Vermont. They spent two or three days with me at my home, much to my gratification. "Sliver" is one of the best preserved men in the Class. He is still able to play tennis, he tells me.

"Tommy" Thompson usually spends the summer with his son Walcott Jr., and family, in Rockport, Mass. He telephoned me not long ago to invite me to spend a week or so at Rockport with him and was greatly surprised when I told him, over the phone, that I was unable to accept his invitation. The happy result of our telephoning is that "Tommy" is coming to spend a day and night with me at my home in Hartford this very week.

I have had some very gratifying letters and post cards from my thoughtful classmates. I am sorry I have been unable to keep up correspondence.

My time is up, I fear, so far as using space in this column is concerned. I have already used the usual allotment and must stop. I shall be glad to hear from any who will be good enough to write me items for this column.

Secretary and Treasurer, 14 Sayward St., Dorchester, Mass.
