1914

Distinction must surely be accorded to the five members of our Class who alone of our total of 137 now living were born in the month of March - two in '9l, two in '92, and one in '94. Often the word "windy" is used in juxtaposition with March but memory offers no recollection that it ever applied to our stalwart five who are: Derby Hall of Melrose, Mass.; Lester K. Little of Cornish, N.H.; Wayne M. Plummer of Laconia, N.H., Samuel D. Shelton of Red Wing, Minn.; and Ralph S. Woodman of Milford, N.H. To all, the Class sends birthday greetings signed R.S.V.P., care of the secretary.

If Oscars were given for the best newsletter of the year, 1914 could put in nomination HenryLowell's issue of December 18 last for his fine use of illustration and his exceptional coverage of both class and college news.

He has a special interest in reminiscences and asks all of us to search our memories and our picture albums for stories he can feature in future issues.

It was just a year ago that Fred Fraser wrote from Cooperstown, N.Y:, that he had heard over TV that Newport, Vt., had recorded the lowest temperature in the nation. For your information, Fred, we did it again last week with our 28 degrees below zero.

Just as I took off a year ago for Providence, R.I., where I had a fine visit with Ray Trott, so I leave tomorrow for Boston to attend another nurserymen's convention where I hope that time and occasion will permit visits with other friends in this home of the bean and the cod.

Lay and Ruth Little have returned from visiting their daughter in England but the hoped-for story of Lay's high adventures in Chunking, China back in 1945 must wait for some other day.
