Class of 1914

Twenty of the boys put in an appearance at the Potlatch held at the Copley-Plaza on Saturday evening, January 30. Leach, Chandler, Gregg, and Aborn were all mixed up in the arrangements, so the class was pretty well represented. In the new list of officers Leach continues on the job another year.

The twenty included the following: Aborn, newly attached to the staff of the Exchange Trust Company of Boston; Barnard, our wool merchant condoling with Kimball most of the evening on the lack of sales; Batchelder, our tent and awning expert of Boston and Wollaston; Chandler, still commuting to and from the South Shore; Fletcher, the placement specialist with head office in Boston; Fuller, still the bond peddler; Lawrence (recently resigned from the s>taff of Lawrence Academy) now a local capitalist interested in various ventures in Groton, Mass.

Leach very much present, taking leisure from his job as sales manager of the crockery house of Jones, McDuffee, and Stratton, Boston; Lowell, now selling real estate in Arlington; O'Connor, up from the Providence district with Snow and Slater; Palmer, slim of waist but selling waste as usual, still unmarried; Saeger practicing surgery; Saltmarsh, still married; Taft, down from the wilds of New Hampshire for a big night; Wilkinson, our musician; and your humble servant, who is| ediphoning these notes.

Hank Llewellyn dropped in at the office the other day to register a protest on these alumni notes which recorded his wife as going to Hanover for the Cornell game and omitted his presence in Chicago at the Chicago game. We passed the buck to Red Loudon, who provided the Chicago, list. Hank is traveling around the country on group insurance cases for the John Hancock people.

George Boggs was recently in Boston for a day or two on business connected with his boys' school in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. He also runs an apple farm just coming into production. His fruit was shipped to England last year. George reported a daughter, Helen Barbara, born late in 1925.

While in Trenton at about the end of the year I ran right into Dick Barlow. He was greeting by name about half of the people he met on the main street, all of which goes to prove that Dick is pretty well known in parts. He had no particular news to offer.

Pingree Full, has gone to Baltimore, where he is district credit manager of the Graybar Electric Company, Inc., which you will probably recognize as the new name of the Western Electric trade division.

Through the untimely death of his brother, Clyf Chandler has come into the larger part of the management of a good sized cranberry bog in Plymouth. At this season the work is not arduous, but wait until next summer.

Bill Slater tells me that a few more than 100 have paid their class dues of $3.00. Some of the rest of you fellows would ease his mind by sending him $3.00 right away.

Born, in Chicago, December 23, 1925, a daughter to Mr. and Mrs. Carroll A. Edson— Virginia Crane by name.

Assistant Secretary, 5, Mass.
