1894

Chief Widmayer has suggested that we columnists keep our notes down to the minimum because of the publication below our notes of current Alumni Fund contributions. This your columnist is very willing to do because it is an honorable list which follows. They have done an honorable deed and nothing else ought to interfere with the attention we give them. Thank you, Kent Knowlton, for another year of painstaking work.

In last month's account of our Fall Roundup reference was made to an emergency operation which Mrs. Rob Penniman had undergone and which kept her away from the Roundup. We are indeed sorry to have to report that the hope there expressed for complete recovery was not fulfilled. Mrs. Penniman died at the Windsor, Vt., Hospital on October 14.

Rob Penniman, the fourth oldest member of our class, was a bachelor for twenty-one years after graduating from college. He then had the good fortune to marry Mrs. Henry C. Kelsey and became the stepfather of a son and two daughters. Mrs. Penniman became at once a congenial member of the '94 family, so much so that at the 1955 Roundup she and her daughter, Mrs. Carlton M. Strong of Winchester, Mass., invited the class to their home for 1956. For various reasons this was postponed until 1957. A sketch which Don Colby has sent in, published in the Claremont Eagle, shows how rich and active had been the life of Mrs. Penniman during eighty years.

Woodie Parker writes of a major operation which Mrs. Parker underwent on October 9. Says Woodie: "She has felt better the last few days and will be all right in time. Our son and wife have been keeping house for us."

Phil Marden and daughter were registered at the Hanover Inn on October 4.
