Class of 1908
Larry Treadway played host to the Dartmouth Club of Berkshire County on January S. About twenty-five alumni and undergraduates were his guests at Williamstown Inn. The party also included Dean Bill and Professor Proctor of Dartmouth, Acting President Maxcy, Treasurer W. C. Hoyt, and Professor Lichlider of Williams. Tread doesn't know that the reports brought back to Hanover indicated that the best speech of the evening was made by his son Dick Treadway of the class of 1935.

We are glad to announce that Fred Schilling is back north again. He has been promoted from general superintendent of the Atlanta office of the Turner Construction Company to general manager, with headquarters in New York. Schil will direct the execution of contracts for approximately four million dollars worth of public schools for Brooklyn.
Bant Blake is continuing his good work. The New York Times for January 17 and 18 had an account of the work done by. Dr. Francis G. Blake of Yale and Dr. Dochez of Columbia in their search for a scarlet fever serum, and a statement of the gratifying results obtained. In carefully worded phrases Dr. Dochez stated that while there is no ground for stating that the serum is a definite curative agent, yet in certain cases dealt with by Bant Blake,-"certain promise" has been shown.
Larry Symmes has but recently recovered from a badly infected throat, which kept him at home for. two weeks. He is to be congratulated on escaping the rheumatic fever which usually follows the particular kind of bug which caused the trouble.
Art Rotch is developing a hitherto unsuspected streak of meanness. He manifests it by mailing postcards from Florida, stating that "the temperature is 80, fishing and swimming fine," and timing them to reach Hanover when the thermometer- reads thirty-five below.
Arthur S. Hopkins is New York state forester, with headquarters in the Conservation Commission at Albany.
At the Harvard game class dinner in Boston last fall, Art Lewis exhibited a painting by Mrs. John Thompson (Dorothea Litzinger) of New York which she wished to present to the class, with the suggestion that it be sold and the proceeds turned into the Class Fund. A raffle was acordirigly staged, and on January 10 stub No. IS was drawn from the hat, making Art O'Shea the owner of the painting. Art Lewis says Art O'Shea always was a lucky one. The class fund is richer by nearly three hundred dollars. Opportunity is taken at this time to express the appreciation and the sincere thanks of the class to Mrs. Tommy for her generosity.
