1900

It may be remembered that after his graduation from Dartmouth for several seasons Joseph Wentworth successfuly coached football teams at Case Institute of Technology, Cleveland, Ohio. At this time John F. Anderson, an enthusiastic follower of football, was a student at Case and a great admirer and friend of Wentworth. Recently, John Anderson Jr. '34, an ardent Dartmouth football fan, gave to Case, in memory of his father, a football trophy. This trophy is a life-size gold football which is to be awarded each year to that member of the team, who, in the opinion of the coaches has made the most contributions to the Case cause in the contest with rival Adelbert College. In his speech, John reminded his audience of some of the exploits of the teams of those early days and their outstanding victories.

A letter from Mrs. Arthur H. Norris, sister of Arthur Wallace, tells me of the very pleasant time she had visiting with friends at her former home in Belfast, Me. Her son George has recently been appointed Headmaster of the Trinity Episcopal Church School in Galveston, Texas. She enjoyed having Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners with her son Page and his family in Nashua.

In her letter Ina gives her favorite recipe for "Sweet Life": "1 friend, ½ cup of understanding, 2 cups of patience, 2 tsps. of cheery smiles, a pinch of kindness. 1 cup of willingness to listen, 1 hand of friendship. Mix well one friend, ½ cup of understanding, and 2 cups of patience. Stir gently over many years. Blend in a generous dash of good humor, add 2 tsps. of cheery smiles, and a pinch of kindness. Add to the above ingredients 1 cup of willingness to listen - reach out the warm hand of friendship and pour over the entire mixture a generous portion of love for your fellowman. Bake slowly in a warm heart — serves a lifetime if not allowed to cool."

Ruth Bean, daughter of Harry Jenkins speaks with delight of the occasional ramble she and her husband Homer have taken in the Auburndale area, especially, walks around Lake Walden. From time to time they have renewed acquaintance with the famous battlefields of Concord and the homes of Emersons and Alcotts. She also remarks about the unusually brilliant fall foliage in Arnold Arboretum.

In connection with her Sunday School work she has as a helper a twelve-year-old Vietnamese boy - a triple amputee. He lost both legs and his left arm during the Tet offensive. With other children he was riding in a school bus which had been mined and which exploded while they were on their way to school. He was sent to this country to be fitted with new limbs and is living with one of the church families. Ruth says he is courageous, hopeful, and an inspiration to those who come in contact with him. Thus, such an incident brings this faraway war with its cruelty close home to many of us.

I deeply regret to report the death of Cornelius U. Tirrell on December 31. He had no long illness. He was sitting in his rocking chair reading the morning news as was his custom, and just fell asleep. 1900 is grateful for his loyalty and devotion to the" Class and to the College.
