CLASS OF 1907
Among the Ought Seveners back for Commencement were Jack Wallace, Sam Barnes, Rip Heneage, Haley, and Rice. Most of them had wives along and some of them had children. They, with the Secretary, were simply "among those present." The Commencement guest was, as usual, H. Sullivan McDevitt, who sang himself into popular favor at the class movies, and whose voice seemed to be just as good as it was in 1907. We certainly have established an institution in Harry's singing that is an essential part of every successful Commencement.
Bill Cummings and wife draw a special paragraph. They had been abroad; in England, where Bill was hunting for sheep or something, and in Paris, where—well, never mind. The point is, they caught a boat home, arrived in Boston, picked up the Heneages and motored to Hanover in time for all the activities. By so doing Bill defeated Sam Barnes on the mileage record.
J. F. Crocker and family were in Hanover the other day on the way to their summer home in Thetford.
Judge and Elizabeth McLane were in Hanover the week before Commencement.
Our president, James Milton O'Neill, is summering on the Pacific Coast, teaching at the University of California. His new address is Berkeley. When he gets through there, the 4th of August, he is coming back East and will settle near Boston, doing graduate work at Harvard. As if this was not enough for a poor working man, he plans to go to Europe next April for about sixteen months before going back to work, two years from next September! And they say that college professors are underpaid.
By the way, James also announces the birth of a third son—who is the fourth child—who arrived on May 21, and is entered for the class of 1945. Optimist!
W. A. (Runt) Martin, Jr., for the last nine years sales and advertising manager of D. E. Sicher and Company, Inc., has resigned to join the "Economist Group" of publications of the Textile Publishing Company, New York city.
Richard S. Southgate was promoted so long ago that it is no longer news, but for the sake of keeping the records clear, he is now district manager of sales of the Timken Roller Bearing Company. He is located at 230 West 56th St., New York city.
Dr. John W. Hammond is in Peking, China, for a five year stay. His address is care of Union Medical College, Peking, China.
News being scarce this week, your Secretary takes pleasure in informing you that he addressed the Taylor Society at its meeting in Syracuse on the subject of "The Sales Machine. 1923 Model."The speech was so good that by leaving town that night he was able to give it the second time before the National Association of Sales Managers at Atlantic City. Just in this connection, news will continue to be scarcer unless it so happens that some of you send in a few personal items once in a while. However, if you refuse to do this, we shall fill up the space as does the scribe from Lyme Center in the Hanover Gazette, with radio programs, obituaries, and personal notices, since we have reached a point where there must be some news in the MAGAZINE monthly regarding the class of 1907.
Secretary, Prof. Harry R. Wellman, Hanover, N. H.
