In order to accomplish this desire they sought the aid of competent members of various classes and they were exceedingly gratified with the response they received and for the M. O. Spaulding, always called HM. O. to distinguish him from his uncle, Da M., who was a member of the faculty, is still a humorist. He is a builder by trade, who, in his spare time, has studied architecture, but he modestly refers to but one accom- plishment, a small hen house, where hens il ll: :U D: 0 :U GI :Cl U: t :il C2 :Cl DI :U ll: :Cl L?

They are always eager to obtain information concerning the former members of this school and all such mate- rial will be gladly welcomed, not only at the time the Student is published but throughout the year. 1889 My dear Student: Once again I am indebted to you for an unexpected happiness. Some forty years ago, when finding yourself short of copv, you occasionally printed on your respected pages some essay of mine which the English teacher had on hand, I thought my cup of happiness complete. I so well re- member with what pride and delight I thrilled to see myself in print. Perhaps, Student, you do not realize what a service you are rendering to your former associate when you bring to mind the days of forty years ago, and give her an excuse to touch hands again with her former classmates. When the request of your editor arrived for a class story, I sent an S. O. S. to all those I could reach, begging for facts. Each and every one has responded. We are few in number, for alas! the class which graduated eleven members in 1889, soon lost four of its number,.Lula Goodnow, Florence Russell, Herbert Russell and Leo Willis, whose memories we sadly recall, with regret- at their early passing. One other member, Grace King, moved to the Pacific Coast where she married, but her address is at present unknown to us. promptly die when admitted to its pre- cincts. However, when I last saw HM. O., dignity sat upon his broad shoulders, un- doubtedly laid there by the honors which the city of Keene has conferred upon him, by making him a member of the Council County Commissoner, etc., etc. He is a loyal son of Arms and recalls with grat- itude his association with teachers and school mates. The Home-makers, Bertha Carpenter fMrs. Demarest of Glens Fallsl, Sadie Read CMrs. Chatterton of Orangel, and I protest that there is nothing of interest to relate. Home making is a most indefinite profession-its objective, the happiness of the family- its reward, the happiness that comes to oneself. Our homes and our communities absorb our lives. We count ourselves fortunate if little that is spectacular or dramatic enters our lives. Sadie was a successful teacher for some years, and is now watching with joy the development of a young son who is preparing for Brown University. Bertha, more lovely than when a girl, is the wife of a dentist and the mother of a young- lady daughter, in whom she takes great pride. As for me, for thirty-four years I have shone in the reflected light of my husband- the wife of the Head-master, you know. I do not include Lila Wendell tMrs. Henningl among the Home-makers, for although she has a husband and a home in New York City, she has also a business interest. For twenty-four years she held a position with a printing company in New York, and four years ago joined some of her 'associates in a venture of their own, which has flourished and is already a substantial and prosperous business.

Didge has not been heard from for several years and no information can be found as to her whereabouts. Luna Johnson married Edward Fuller and moved to Berkeley, California where she still resides. George Merrill made his home in Greenfield for several years as Superinten- dent of the Water Works. Within a few years he and his family have moved to Ware, Massachusetts, where he has a sim- ilar position. Preston Comstock has for a great many years been editor of an Elgin,Illinois, news- paper. He has been in poor health for the past year and a half and is at a camp in Wisconsin where he is recovering from a serious attack of heart trouble. Among the states in the Union honored by the class are Massachusetts, Vermont, New York, and Washington. Somehow the name of Bessie Fisher is always associated with the thought of books, and she is literally Among My Books and is happy in her work with all kinds of books and people. She is in charge of the reading room at the Fellows Athenaeum, one of the larger branches of Boston Public Library system. This branch handles 35,000 books, besides mag- azines. As a diversion she is taking courses in subjects in which she is interested and says to the class that work is a fine thing, and a certain amount of play a fine thing, too.
