CLASS OF 1902

As an evidence of what attendance at a class reunion will do for a man the story of James Easson of 1902 is most interesting. Easson was run down with hard work as manager of a steel mill, turning out 12 and 9 inch shells for the government. His output for May, 1917, was 11,390 shells made, and 8,511 accepted, or 74.7 per cent. After ''Jim" had spent a week in Hanover, he went back invigorated, put in long hours and unusual energy, with the result that his record for June shows a jump to 14,078 shells made and 12,530 accepted, or 88.9 per cent. There was another jump in July to 94.2 per cent and the record of the company for February shows 100 per cent, or the full capacity of the plant, with all shells perfect. It is generally considered that the work of these plants reflects very directly upon the efficiency and ability of the manager, and Easson declares he owes the fine record to the "new lease of life" which the Fifteenth Reunion gave him.

The Alumni Editor has received the Fifteenth Reunion Report of the class, otherwise entitled "War Service Report," and illustrated by photographs of members of the class in military service.
