Thursday, June 10th, 1909, the Class Club assembled at will « s 

 house a little before two o'clock. We had our auto and Prentiss Cum- 

 mings' new Pierce Arrow oar. It looked like rain and the Weather 

 Bureau said that there was to be rain. Will and Prank went in Prentiss 1 

 car, and Henry and George Kennedy and I in nine. We left at two 

 o'clock and went by v/ay of Newton Centre, where we saw the lot on which 

 Prank once lived and entertained the Club, Weston, Wayland, Bolton, 

 Stow and North Lancaster, then South through Lancaster to Mr. Nathaniel 

 Thayer's house. It began to rain just before we reached North Lancaster 

 and when we arrived at Mr. Thayer's house it was pouring, will went 

 up to see Mr. Thayer, who was confined to his room, and Mrs. and Miss 

 Thayer very cordially entertained the rest of us, going so far even as 

 after furnishing us with umbrellas, to go out with us in the rain and 

 walk over the lawns to get a view of the rhododendrons. 



We reached the Thayers at eight minutes past four and left at 

 about quarter of five. Then we went down and saw the dam of the Wachu- 

 sett Reservoir at Clinton, both at its base and on its top, and then 

 went down along the reservoir on its East side and across its Southerly 

 end to Oakdale and from Oakdale by the straight road up to the Wachusett 

 House in Princeton, which we reached at about seven o'clock. 



The rain continued well on into the evening. The road from 

 Oakdale to Princeton v/as very wet and slippery and we probably could 

 not have got up the hill had not Burke put on the chains while we were 

 stopping at the dam. 



Prentiss' car succeeded in getting up the hill without chains, he 

 having omitted to bring any with him. 



Distance travelled, 100 miles.
