1909

The 102nd annual dinner and glee club concert of the Boston Alumni Association was held Tuesday February 1 at the Boston Sheraton hotel. Ex Gov. Channing H. Cox '01 and John Crocker '07 were the only ones present before the '09 delegation of Leon B. Farley, Harold S. Clark, Oliver P. Greenwood, A. Gordon Weinz, Chester and Martha Brett, Eleanor S. Newton, Bertrand C. French and his daughter Lucy and her husband Douglas W. Morey Jr. A total attendance of 1189 was reported for this gala event.

President Harold S. Clark has announced the appointment of Oliver P. Greenwood to be reunion chairman for next June 13-15. The College has assigned Richardson Hall as 1909 headquarters for the reunion.

Head Agent Stanley W. Leighton and his assistants have made plans to get 1909 off to a good start in the 1966 Alumni Fund campaign. Some of our widows have already made their contributions. Let's get behind this project in '66.

Eleanor S. Newton has recovered from a perforated cornea. As though she hasn't had enough troubles, one morning in December on coming down stairs, she found hoodlums had thrown stones through the dining room and Al's bedroom windows.

Mrs. A. Gordon Weinz (Grace) had the misfortune to fall on January 11 and fracture her left femur. As these notes are written, she is making good progress in the use of a walker and should be at her home 27 Herrick Road, Newton Center, Mass. 02159 as you read this.

Mrs. Sanford B. Hooker (Lillian) is planning with a friend to make a trip to Greece this month. This country is very much in the news these days with business expansion and historical discoveries.

Mrs. Arthur J. Sporborg (Mildred) has moved from Huntsville, Ala., to Miami Beach and is now settled in Apt. 802, Harbour House North, 10295 Collins Ave., Bal Harbour, Fla. 33154.

Mrs. Emile H. Erhard (Leonie) is now living at 450 W. California, Pasadena, Calif. 91105.

Mrs. George K. Goodwin (Anna), widow of our oldest member, writes that she is having to give up the home they built at 1107 N. 14th St. Dade City, Fla., and is not sure what her new address will be.

Congratulations to the following '09ers who celebrate birthdays in March: Richard L. Wing (1); Edward D. Martin (11); Oliver P. Greenwood (15); Ogden Brown and John C. Varney (20); William T. Atwood (26).
