REUBEN HITCHCOCK MORLEY, HReube, Smiled his first smile. June 2. 1876, at Sagi- naw, Mich., where he has resided ever since. His father. George W. Morley, is a well-known hardware merchant and banker. Urgent busi- ness prevented Reuben from mentioning his distinguished relatives. but we will wager that if he had taken the time to enumerate them many prominent men would be highly honored. He assures us that if there is ever a male heir to R. H. M. his 'name will be found 'in the Exeter catalogue. He is of English- American descent. A look at his photo will show that he is not the only sly dog of the class. GEORGE NEWHALL SHOREY And his twin brother. sleep, trotted into this world, in Lynn, Mass.. April 15, 1881, nineteen minutes behind time. George has a brother at Cushing Academy and is related to Prof. Paul Shorey. He is of English-American de- scent, and his noted ancestors will be pub- lished in a separate volume. His father is George L. Shorey, a lawyer. WILLIAM FRANKLIN TUTTLE, Billy, Conferred great honor upon Frank P. Tuttle by choosing him for a father, Nov. 13, 1878, at Lowell, Mass. Billy afterward came to Exeter in order to secure the full benefit of its wonderful atmosphere. He is of Puritan stock and traces his ancestors back to 1638 and an English Governor. He is particularly anx- ious to have us mention the fact that he is a fourth cousin to ex-President Hayes and an intimate friend of Old Sleuth. the Detective.

WALTER FENNO DEARBORN. H Fenn. This cyclone evangelist struck Marble- head. Mass., on July 19. 1878. He liked the quiet little fishing village on account of the similarity of its name and one of his most noted characteristics. He has not, however. the marble heart. His father, J. W. Dear- born, is a. clergyman. Fenn's blood was so thick that it had to be diluted with Abbot Hall milk before it could be analyzed. The analy- sis showed it to be hot Scotch. Fenn of the Marblehead realized how much better our class was than '06, so he decided to stay with us a year longer. CYRUS COLE De COSTER. H Deee Coster, Was born in St. Paul, Minn., on June 29. 1879. The honor of being his birthplace, which was taken by St. Paul. caused that fatal and much- talked-of hatred between the above city and Minneapolis. His father. Cyrus Cole De Cos- ter, is a furniture dealer. Cyrus has thou- sands of distinguished relatives and goes as far back as the Darwinian theory permits. American blood alone keeps him alive and handsome. HARRIS MEIGS RICHMOND Began his poetic career. at Adams. Mass.. Oct. 3, 1877. M. C. Richmond. a merchant miller, of Adams. Mass.. has the honorlof being his father. The one great problem of his life has been to decide whether to become an undertaker or a poet. Morley advises him to take both. As he has never been bled. very little is known of his descent. He was Orator of the class of '96 at Adams High School.
