1904

Your Secretary wishes to express his sincere thanks for the scores of cards received from classmates during the holiday season, and for the gracious expressions of approval of his services in their behalf.

Here's news from Nashua. Al and Des Neiges Terrien are grandparents. Little Patricia Ann Terrien arrived November 8. She is their first grandchild, the daughter of Al's third son, Captain Paul, and Marguerete Ogilvie Terrien. Paul is a West Point graduate and veteran of the Korean War. Al got his picture in the Manchester, N. H., papers recently. He was the city chairman of the drive in Nashua to obtain a part of the ten million signatures protesting the censorship of Senator Joseph McCarthy.

Matt Bullock will spend the winter in Willemstad, Curacao, giving his time to the work of the Baha'1 religion. Matt is one of the world leaders in that faith.

Jimmie Brotherhood gave me the wrong address. He lives at 3239 Scenic Drive, Muskegon, Mich., instead of 3211. Jimmie recalls that upon our return to Hanover in January 1904, at the end of the Christmas vacation, we found that the thermometer registered 420 below zero. We fellows in the Dragon House all slept on the third floor with no heat. We were a hardy bunch in those days.

Mrs. Paul Favour sends a new address. She now resides at 317 El Camino del Mar, Laguna Beach, Calif. She was much pleased to hear from the class and to receive the class report.

Pat and Ann Manning, East Greenwich, R. I., held open house over Christmas and the New Year. Pat, we wish we all might have dropped in for an egg nog with you.

Lester Gibson, from San Luis Obispo, Calif., sends special greetings to the class and says he is still re-living the wonderful time he had with us last June. Jack Sanderson writes from Orlando, Ela., that it might be a good idea if he were to go back to Hanover, pass his Greek exam and acquire a diploma. Bernie Boyle, Box 852, New Port Richey, Fla., sends his greetings. Bernie has not been in the best of health. Drop him a line. He would appreciate it greatly.

Myron and Marie Witham spent Thanksgiving weekend in Pigeon Cove, Mass., then swung around the circuit of Tri-Kappa homes in New England. On their way back home, they stopped in Dover, N. H., and learned that Monsignor Charlie Leddy was ill in the Dover Hospital. Father Leddy was too ill to have callers, but greatly appreciated the interest of classmates in his health and welfare. A note from Johnnie Mathes informed the Secretary that Charlie later was hospitalized at the St. Elizabeth Hospital in Brighton, Mass. Classmates in Boston have been alerted to call and bring comfort and cheer.

The Secretary regrets to report the death of Judge Walter Russell on Christmas Day in the Port Arthur General Hospital, Canada. The many letters Walter received from the Class during his last illness brought him great pleasure and comfort. Those members who attended the 45th and 50th reunions will remember the grand time he had and his joy at being with the gang. He was a true friend, lovable, full of fun, and modest in the success he attained in business and in the law. We shall miss Walter. His obituary appears in another section of the MAGAZINE.

These are the birthdays coming up in February: Callman, Sayles, Turner, Hardy, Perkins, Ames, Woods, Terrien, the 8th, 10th, nth, 15th, 18th, 19th, 20th and 28th respectively. If you think o£ it, drop them a card.

Already your Secretary has made plans for our roundup in Hanover in June by applying for reservations in South Mass Hall. Keep this happy event in mind. These next fifty years we want to get together as often as possible.

Secretary, 100 North St., Pittsfield, Mass.
