Back on the job of reporting class history Class round-up in Boston, Friday evening, October 26, night before the Harvard game; place — Algonquin Club; time — 5 p.m.; dinner speeches by Pete Maguire and Jig Leverone on the political campaign. Saturday p.m., after the game, open house at the residence of Carl and Marion Woods, 172 Beacon St., to which all classmates and wives are invited.

A Wah-Hoo-Wah for Squid Lampee, for his wonderful job as class agent, in raising $6,531.60 from 87 of the classmates out of 90 —the largest sum from any of the classes from 1884 to 1905, and on the percentage of 176% of objective, 2nd place out of 60 classes con- tributing. Thanks, classmates, and thanks, too, to the widows and relatives of deceased classmates for their most generous support.

The class round-up in Hanover June 8-9-10 brought together fourteen classmates, many with their wives. We had a grand time. Gene Seward and Kate were there. It was a terrible shock to learn that two days later, on June 12, Gene passed away suddenly. Many classmates attended the funeral in York Village, and Carl and Matt were honorary bearers. The class sent flowers, and messages of sympathy were sent to Kate and the family. Brilliant scholar and lawyer, he was honored by the State of Maine by appointment as a judge of the Superior Bench, where his human and humane qualities made him an outstanding judge, true friend, loyal classmate, loved by every member of the class. We shall miss Gene.

This summer Herbie Andrews, Albert Hill and Wayne Perkins celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversaries. Messages of congratulations and affectionate greetings and good wishes for the happy couples were sent by your secretary.

Charlie Davis was recently made a Knight of the York Cross of Honor, conferred only on those Masons who have held the highest office in each of the four bodies of the Rites. Congratulations, Charlie.

Robbie, down on Cape Cod, sends greetings his latch key is out for all classmates visiting the Cape.

Bruce and Mrs. Sanborn spent some time in Lenox at their summer home, and were present at most of the concerts given by the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Tanglewood. Early in the spring they returned from several weeks stay in Haiti.

The class will be happy to learn that our treasurer, Tom Streeter, is making a very good recovery from a coronary thrombosis, which he suffered in July. He has been a patient at the Doctor's Hospital in New York for several weeks, but expects to return home September 5, at Morristown, N. J. Send Tom a note —he will be glad to hear from you.

Your secretary is in receipt of a brochure sent out by the Second Bank State Street Trust Co. of Boston, entitled "Pilots and Pilot Boats of Boston." It includes two beautiful copies of oil paintings which hang in the home of our classmate, Squid Lampee of Winchester. You can almost breathe the salt air. Many of us have listened to the stories his grandfather used to tell Squid — salty and savory. All of us have joined with Squid in one of his favorite songs, "Let Go the Ship's Halyards.

Carl Woods has acquired another chair to sit in. He was recently elected to the Board of Directors of Champion International Company.

Nice note from Dave and Mildred Ford recent arrivals of grandchildren help make their home very happy. Dave is well.

These notes fill the gap from June to October, since our class agent has sent to all a wonderful class letter. Help your secretary by frequent messages to him. So long — see many of you October 26 in Boston.
