1914

As I write this column it is now the middle of August and summer is almost gone. Why is it that the nice months go by so fast? The 70th reunion time has come and gone, and 1 regret to say that no member of the class of 1914 attended. Three members had indicated that they were coming, but a few days before the time of arrival they informed us that they were unable to come. A few members wrote that they wished they could attend, but it was just not possible. Abe Newmark wrote that his heart would be there even though he did not feel up to attending. Gail Gardner would have liked to have been there, but being in a wheelchair has slowed him down considerably the past couple of years. Ruth Little planned to attend, and Gay Dellinger wrote that an operation on her knee prevented her from attending. She lives in Austin, Tex., and had hoped to see Ruth Little, Wesley"Moose" Englehorn, and Frank Llewellyn.I had hoped to meet some of you, but will have to wait for another occasion.

A letter from Polly Wheelock informs us that Arthur Stanley Wheelock passed away on May 23. She said that this is the first reunion her husband ever missed!

I hope all of you will find a few minutes to drop me a note as names make this column interesting. Like Abe Newmark, who writes that he has given up being a gardener, but kept his 20 feet by 40 feet blueberry and raspberry patch and has it protected from the birds.

Until next time . . .

Amid dust-covered relics and old books in an antique store in Cambridge, Janice Burnham, a Bostonattorney, found this photograph of ten students relaxing in a dormitory room and enjoying a ratherelegant repast. She presented the picture to her father, Whitney Burnham '46ad, who forwarded it tothe Magazine in hopes that readers might be able to identify some of the students pictured.
