Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. D. Basil O'Connor on the birth of a daughter, Sheelagh, on May 19.

Announcement is made of the dissolution of the partnership of Snow and Cooper, of Rochester, N. H. Connie will practice his legal profession until October 1 in the Snow Block, No. 16a North Main Street, and after that date at his former location in the newly constructed Rochester Trust Company building.

Edmund I. Mitchell announces a change of address to 56 Huntington St., New Brunswick, N. J. Ed is engaged in sanitary engineering work in New Brunswick.

Roscoe G. Geller announces the formation of his new concern—The Geller-Wilkinson Company, Inc., address 173 Front St., Owego, N. Y. (Tioga County). This new concern manufactures a newly patented self-grinding knife sharpener—a wonderful appliance, and of practical advantage to all users of knives of all descriptions. The following is a copy of an article published in the "Finger Lakes Topics," the organ of the Finger Lakes Association, of which Bos is a director. This was not sent in by Bos, but received from a friend:

"The following resolution was adopted at the regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Owego Chamber of Commerce. held at its rooms, Monday, May 10:

"WHEREAS, Mr. Roscoe G. Geller, who has been for the last six years secretary of the Owego Chamber of Commerce, has resigned in order to enter the business world. Be it

"RESOLVED, That we, as directors of the Owego Chamber of Commerce, place on record our sincere regret at his decision, and express our lasting appreciation for the quality and quantity of his work as secretary. Mr. Geller has toiled unremittingly and spent himself untiringly, not only with the idea of building up Owego from a business standpoint, but of injecting into our village life a spirit and a morale hitherto unknown. There is no avenue of helpfulness to old or young that does not bear the imprint of Mr. Geller's character as a Christian gentleman and most loyal citizen. We extend to Mr. Geller our best wishes for his new career in the manufacturing world and we are glad that he has elected to remain a citizen of the community in which he has labored so unselfishly to develop and build. Be it further

"RESOLVED, That a copy of these resolutions be printed in the local papers and be transmitted to the Finger Lakes Association of which he is an officer."

It is with deep regret that we are advised of the death of Roy C. Laing in Los Angeles on the 20th of May. Roy was connected with the Western Electric Company of Los Angeles. He is survived by his wife and one daughter, age thirteen years. While Roy was in our class only for the first year, he was always interested in Dartmouth and in 1912 affairs.

Dr. Harold H. Freund announces a change of residence and office address to 310 West End Ave., New York city.

James K. Fitzpatrick reports a new residence address as The Sir Walter Raleigh Hotel, Raleigh, N. C.

Parley J. Roberts' new address since June 1 is 45 Hillside Terrace, Belmont, Mass.

At this year's reunion the following 'l2 men were seen in Hanover looking over the ground, taking notes on the behavior of 1911 at their Fifteenth, and in various other manner taking their fill of a few days' vacation: Jim Erwin, Randy Burns, Dick Remsen, Wally Jones, Bug Knight, Pike Childs, Eddie Luitwieler, Hal Fuller, Doc O'Connor, Babe Hartshorn, Roy Lewis, and Manuel Garcia. Dutch Viets was reported on the way up, but is still missing.

A detailed report was expected from Alumni Fund Agent Dick Remsen, but so far none has been received. Dick has worked very hard and deserves all possible praise, and we are glad to report that the quota has been met once more through his efforts. Needless to say that Dick thoroughly appreciates the co-operation of each 1912 man who helped make his work a success.

George N. Hitchcock has come back to Staten Island, and is now in residence at 107 Constant Ave., West New Brighton, Staten Island, N. Y.

The following is the reunion committee for 1912 Fifteenth: Wallace T. Jones (chairman), Thomas L. Brennock, Randall G. Burns, James R. Erwinr D. Basil O'Connor, Carle E. Rollins, Leslie W. Snow, Alvaro M. Garcia.

The only way that Wally Jones would take over the job of chairman was that the rest of the committee guarantee that the attendance at the Big Fifteenth would be nothing less than 100%. This was of course easy to promise, and with just one year ahead of us—now is as good a time as any to save up—both the time and the means.

Secretary, 1452 Broadway, New York
