BROOKLiN REUNION.


The BrookliD club assembled Saturday
evening, Nov. 9, at Odd Fellows hall, in
the Intercolonial building, Boston, to
celebrate its fourth anniversary. The
principal features OF the event we're an
informal reception which was frightened
by the continuous strains OF Harwood's
orchestra, OF Ailston, dancing ana refresh
ments.
Entering the hall, the first cordially to
meet us were the president OF the club,
@. W. Herrick, and the secretary, A. Il.
Stanley. Badges were presented by the
executive committee. These bore excel
lent pictures OF the Baptist church and
Bay View hail.
Once within all of greater Boston en-
yironmenrs vanished, and each seemed to
feel suddenly wbirled up Names coast to
Brooklin into Bay View hall, looking
again in the familiar faces OF few friends
OF our fathers and mothers time, to find
them little older grown; then into those
who were high school classmates and
others from the fred schoolhouse by the
side of the road" of the outlying districts
who had later entered academies, semi
naries, thence into colleges, while others
mad successfully enjoyed domestic and
business careers.
Many were recalled who were unavoida-
bly, absent and others whose faces will
no more be seen at our gatherings, but
whose names shall stand forever upon
our roll OF honor. 1t was study to re-
call those not seen since we were girls and
boys. but once the hands were claspea in
friendly greeting, countless events were
joyously recalled.
Prominent among the many were Mrs.
Lizzie Watson, Mrs, Joanna Dority,
Fred Allen and wife, and many, many
others whom the list below whl reveal.
Owen Fiye was one from BROOKLYN who
came to attend this reunion. Rev. Emery
Bradford one whom all were glad to meet
as schoolmate, teacher and friend. For
the present he is prominently affiliated
with the Clapp Memorial in East Wey-
mouth, Mass.
The younger set danced continually,
and before the evenings close many wiser
and older heads were noticed whirling in
gliding waltz and gay cotillion.
watch us Grow" might truthfully be
the heading OF future announcements, for,
four years ago, the first meeting of this
club was held at the home OF the first
president, Lee I'll. Powers, with but fifteen
present. The appended list will tell the
story of the necessity of a public hall.
Everyone who has ever inhaled a bit of
Brooklin air should enjoy the reunions,
and take the time to recall our ancestry
that made the old town famous, enjoy each
other in social converse and become ac-
women who proudly boast of being de-
scendants OF BROOKLYN natives.
Refreshments were served during the
evening and just before departure for mid
night trains, dainty lunch was served.
The annual meeting will be held the first
week in January.
