have come back this year to renew old
memories and to meet long absent but never
forgotten classmat is Judge John A. Peters
of the Maine Supreme Court, a member of
the class of AZ. Walking about the campus
with young friend yesterday. the judge
pointed with pride to the room he once
occupied in South Middle, and his twinkling
eve, undimmed by the past 40 years and the
stirring events in which he has been an &C
tive force, told eloquently of the pleasant
memories which filled his heart. When

tants. Since that time he has won an envi-
able reputation as lawer, rs representative
from the s'Old Fourth Maine District until
he voluntarily retired from politics, and has
since added to tie honorable record of the
judiciary of the Pine Tree State the weight
and force Of his talents and legal training
Those who know Judge Peters personally will
echo the wish of the young and admiring
friend who yesterday walked about the city
with him. that he may live thousand years.
man Of rare personal qualities. of profound
legal Attachments, he is an honor to the class OF
az and old Yale.-Ner HareR Palladium.
