1909

Stanley W. Leighton is making good progress following a second cataract operation performed after the Harvard game.

Chester Brett, Harold Clark, Bertrand French, Gordon Weinz, and Bert's son-in-law Douglas W. Morey Jr. met at the Al-gonquin Club, Boston on October 24 for the traditional night before the Harvard game dinner. It was Gordon's 82nd birthday and the Club presented him a special birthday cake which he shared with us and others in our section of the dining room.

A bequest from Edward C. Ford to the Marshfield Historical Society made possible the dedication this fall of the Old Winslow School built in 1857 and in continuous use until 1910 as a one-room district school. It is located at the corner of Careswell and Webster streets on land once the property of Daniel Webster and deeded to the town by his heirs for school purposes. The original stove, original double desks, old maps, textbooks, and blackboard give it an authenticity not usually found in restorations today. With the Old Winslow House and Daniel Webster's law office across the street and now the old schoolhouse museum this corner is the fulfillment of one of Ned's ideas.
