1916

How many of you have ever written a letter to the editor? 1916's regular letter-to-the-editor writer is Anson Bates of Siesta Key, Fla., winters and Cobalt, Conn., summers. He has a facile way of writing about the State of the Nation, the by-products of our economy and his latest to the Sarasota Herald Tribune points up positively that 90 percent of the current school population will become desirable citizens and expect to live normal lives. This is a most interesting and encouraging conclusion when brickbats are so often tossed at the youngsters of today. Thanks, Anson, for giving us something that we are glad to hear.

A letter to Roger Evans from the daughter of Edward "Guy" Keddie told of his death in Sarasota, Fla. in March. It is a sad commentary to have this notice of his passing as the only news that the Class has had about Guy Keddie since our days in Hanover. Our sympathy goes to his daughter Mrs. Peggy Logan of Madison, N.J.

Mary Fuller (Mrs. Donald) takes off" in June with 20 others for a three-week tour of England, Wales, Normandy, Brittany, Paris, and Geneva. This tour is sponsored by The Historical Society of Early American Decorators.

The Class pays tribute to Roger Evans' mother who celebrated her 102nd birthday on May first.

Ed Kirkland made The New York Times at the time of the Thetford (Vt.) Town Meeting. It seemed that some words were bandied about the burning of certain women for their liberal leaning back in the "Olden Times" which Ed corrected to the amusement of all town meeting voters. But the Times dealt ungraciously with Ed's chivalry and credited him as being "a stooped white haired retired professor wearing a plaid shirt and a gray suit." Wonder how the Times would have preferred to dress a retired professor in his sartorial splendor?
