Have Most Enjoyable Celebration at the
Mount Pleasant House.

Have Most Enjoyable Celebration at the
Il Mount Pleasant House.
1t would seem there must be some I'M
usual tie binding together the class of
'72 p. ii. S., that at the completion of
4 twenty three years, two reunions in one
summer scarcely suffices for their
"reminiscences and renewings of friend
ships. With collge alumni it would not
be so worthy of comment, this spirit of
a loyal and congenial intimacy, but to go
back to the early preparatory years OF
school life with such enthusiasm is an
unprecedented procedure. An "adopted"
member, for by this term ale meant those
who have married into the class explains
it by the fact that ~ worked for others
as well as for itself in giving entertain
ments to the extent of raising $1,000 and
founding the High School Reference
Library, claiming that they thus uncon-
sciously created a fellowship amongst
themselves that seems to grow rather than
diminish with succeeding years. At all
events they wish 'sMiss Deering," now
Mrs Caswen of The Marlborough School
Los Angeles, California, had been with
them to talk over 'sThat Boy Tommy
who attended by the way this symposium,
starting from Berlin. New Hampshire

These good friends were summoned to
the Mount Pleasant House by Mr. John
Anderson, to celebrate the opening of his
hotel They went by the evening train
of July 3rd, and morning Of the 4th, some
few returning Thursday evening but in
general remaining to the 9th. A fine day
greeted them and a splendid view in the
improved hosterly soon to form one of
the features of White Mountain travel.
Put out of your mind pleasant Noun
TAIN near Brighton, the "Tiptop House"
etc This has nothing to do with them
but is one of the groups of hotels beauti-
fully located the others being Crawford S
and Fabayns, on the edge of the great
White Mountain plateau, in the very heart
of this superb region of the earth.
People have wondered at the Mount
Pleasant Houses lack of progress here
tofore, SO surfeited is it with natural ad-
vantages. But at last capital has taken
the site in hand and recognized its oppor-
tunities. Old habitues of the Crawford
Notch would no longer place the former
inn which has now blossomed into an
elegant house with broad verandas, i'm
posing front of lofty doric columns,
towers, swell front windows, spacious
drawing room and dance hall, new and
first class appointments and generous
Esuites of rooms with all modern conven-
fences. Unchanged, however, there re-
mains the fadeless beauty Of peerless
outlook upon the Presidential Range and
the surrounding scenery of this glorious
Iregion.
4 Mine hosts, Anderson and Price were
ready with cordial welcome to receive
their guests The forenoon was spent in
coaching by excellent teams handled by
skilled drivers down the Crawford Notch
and the afternoon in a drive to The Twin
Mountain House Hotels en- route were
greeted by
Hi hi! tally hoo
Hal, hally halloo
Hip, hip for old Crawford
And seventy two!
Il and other yells and salutations
A well appointed cuisine was tested by
most satisfactory dining and later dane
ing was INDUCED in to the accompaniment
Of an excellent orchestra The remaining
time was, as we have indicated, given
over to talking '72, past, present and
future.
Mention should be made Of the ease
with which Portland people can come and
go to this summer resort. A busy man
may spend Sunday there, leaving Port
land, if need be, a. s. 10 p. M Saturday
and reaching the city again at S.25 q. IN.
Monday.
Portland extends special greeting to
this enterprise in the hands of a Portland
man whose popularity the South as well
as New England has had cause to appre-
ciate.
