1886

Billy Williams' son John '19 is on the Dartmouth Faculty. His mother still lives in Buffalo, where Billy had his last pastorate, but likes to spend as much time as possible in the summer with John in Hanover, and hopes eventually to live there the entire year.

Fred Bittinger's children and grandchildren had a great family reunion at the home of his son Paul in Plymouth, Mass., last Thanks giving. Seventeen sat down to dinner in Paul's newly acquired home near the site of the first Thanksgiving feast. We remember when Fred brought the whole family to our 35th at Hanover, when as now a "good time was had by all."

Ed Frost, who had many scientific interests besides astrophysics, discovered that the Snowy Tree Cricket chirped faster as it grew hotter, and couldn't function after the temperature reached 42 degrees. He kept a record through the summer and his formula read: Count the number of chirps in 13 seconds, add 42 and that will be the reading on your thermometer. This was tested by many experimenters and found to be accurate after it was reported in the Literary Digest and elsewhere. Mrs. Frost is spending her 16th season in her winter home, 2945 Third Ave. North, St. Petersburg, Fla.

Mrs. Chancellor L. Jenks is spending the winter in Stuart, Fla. Her son Herbert '17 is in the real estate business in Evanston, Ill. Her daughter Ruth (Mrs. Ervin J. Paklen) lives in Santa Barbara, Calif. Herbert writes that his mother has a "persistent curiosity as to Dartmouth doings."
