Of interest to '88 survivors is the announced engagement of Miss Patricia Cate, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Allan M. Cate Of Needham, Mass., to Mr. Kenneth E. Mayo, son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard A. Mayo of Boston. Miss Cate is the granddaughter of Eleazar and AliceCate, and also of Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Gordon of Newton, Mass. She is attending Connecticut College for Women.

The writer and wife have joined that hardworking crowd of loafers in St. Petersburg, Fla. Schooled by such veterans as Austin '85, Gage '87 and Frost '89, he is learning its geography, and has already picked his first orange on the grounds of Harry Frost at Gulfport.

We understand that Keay has been under the weather for a time, but is making good recovery. Dunlap has been confined to his room at a convalescent home here in St. Petersburg for the past two years. The Secretary has located him and Mrs. Dunlap, who are now Florida citizens. They send cordial greeting to all old friends.

Richard Paul writes that he and Mrs. Paul are comfortably hibernating in Minneapolis, but are feeling the loss of their esteemed family physician, who met his tragic death in a recent aviation accident over Lake Michigan, when many lives were lost. Paul and the Secretary have compared notes as to the ethereal odors of high school days, when half the boys cared for barn animals. If the girls complained of any aromas a good sleigh ride behind a fast horse ended all possibility of complaint to a Board of Health, even if that functionary had existed in that era.
