Class of 1906

Although this was not a reunion year for 1906, an unexpectedly large number of the class were in Hanover for a part or all of the exercises of Commencement week. No official list was kept, but the following were among those spotted by your Secretary's correspondent: Ralph Beetle, Roy Brackett, T. Brown, Con Chellis and his wife and daughter Mary, Halsey Edgerton, Ned French, Foster Guyer, Dan Hatch and Mrs. Hatch, Arthur Meservev, Eric Kelly, Fred Parker, Cliff Perry and Mrs. Perry, Elon Pratt, Harold Rugg, and Beany Waring.

The Los Angeles Times for May 19 contained a picture of Charlie Milham and a column article, from which I quote the following excerpts: "Members of the executive committee of the All-Year Club of Southern California last night gave an appreciation dinner for Charles G. Milham, retiring secretary of the organization, who has resigned his position with the club after seven years of participation. The dinner was given at the Ambassador Hotel.

"Former Senator Frank E. Flint presided at the dinner, and presented Milham with an illuminated parchment bearing the names of the thirty-six members of the committee and a splendid testimonial for the services rendered Southern California. John B. Browne, chairman of the advertising committee of the club, a subcommittee of the chief group, in behalf of his coworkers and in appreciation of the relationship which has existed between the committee and Milham, presented the retiring official with a gold watch.

"In responding to the presentation speeches, Milham thanked the committee for the co-operation he had received during his seven years of work, and while declining to reveal his future plans intimated that he will not leave Southern California in selecting his new field of work.

"Milham retires after years of intense effort to place the advantages of Southern California before the peoples of the world, members of the committee pointed out. He has been the dynamic power of the All-Year Club since its organization, and has handled the spending of more than $5,000,000 in advertising the southern section of the state. This publicity has resulted in a tremendous increase in tourist travel to Southern California, and has aided greatly every line of business in the Southland."

Charlie writes me that he will take a vacation of several months before entering upon any new business.

Secretary, Henniker, N. H.
