Class of 1899

An error in last month's issue must be corrected. Marie Barstow is teaching in the high school in Deerfield, Mass., not in Maine, as previously stated.

Alson Morgan Abbott, Jr., is the other son of '99 in the freshman class besides Wendell Barney. Little Pap is bigger and huskier than his father. He played halfback on the freshman team in some of the games this fall.

The '99 rooters at the Harvard game were divided into two squads. In one squad were the Drews, the Parkers, Musgrove, Clark, the Donahues, and the Skinners. In section 3 sat the Hobbses, the Atwoods, the Lynches, Storrs, the Abbotts (Rab), the Benezets, the Hobans, and the Hopkinses. There were probably others, but the Secretary did not see them. The team surely didn't dare go on the field, for example, if Jim Richardson were not along to chaperone them, and bets are offered that Joe Gannon found pressing business in Boston somewhere about October 23. "Hobe," "Benny," and "Tim" nearly had heart disease when the score was 3 to 0 in Harvard's favor, but recovered rapidly after the forward passes be- gan to fly. Warren Kendall was a day late in getting in his request for tickets, and had to be content with two way up under the roof, behind one of the pillars of the pergola, or whatever they call the thing that was added to the stadium after the original structure was finished. He would not have seen the game at all had it not been for the kind offices of a '99 ex-member of the Athletic Council.

The Cornell game at Hanover was seen by at least sixteen members of the class of '99; viz., to wit, namely, that is to say, as follows: Pap Abbott, Rab Abbott and wife, Atwood, Barney and wife, Mrs. Barstow and Marie, the five Benezets, Clark, French, Gannon, wife and Genevieve, Hoban, Johnston and wife, Musgrove, Parker and wife, Richardson and wife, Storrs, Jim Walker, and Wardle.

"Weary" had been called on business to Massachusetts about November 1. He had taken in the Brown game at Providence, and had managed to find enough to keep him busy, so that he was still in the land of the clan on November 7.

Someone reported having seen Buck Burns at the Harvard game, but this is not authentic. Will Buck please let the Secretary know? The class of '99 hereby serves notice on the class of 1903 that all of the "Who's Who in America" stuff regarding Mrs. G. Edwm Speare ,is to be chronicled in these columns, under her husband's true class.
