CLASS OF 1877

On October 23, Mr. and Mrs. Ray T. Gile of Littleton, N. H., celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage. The Littleton Courier gave a long account of the celebration and a fine appreciation of Mr. and Mrs. Gile, who have spent nearly all their lives in Littleton and have been actively associated with its civic and religious interests. Of Mr. Gile's record as a civil engineer, the Courier had this to say: "Notable among his achievements is the surveying of the New Hampshire and Massachusetts state boundaries during the ten-year period from 1891 to 1901. He personally set one-half of the state line markers from Lowell to the Connecticut river, while the other half were placed by the Massachusetts engineer working in the interests of that state. Probably no one knows the White Mountain territory as does Mr. Gile, who has spent no small part of his fifty years of surveying in the depths of its forests. Of the many assignments to his credit is the laying out of New Hampshire state park in the Crawford Notch, and the charting of 50,000 acres of wild land in Livermore and Lincoln."

C. M. Goddard, for many years secretary of the New England Insurance Exchange and now chairman of its public relations committee, gave an address on "Stock Fire Insurance Companies" before the Associated Industries of Massachusetts at the annual meeting of that body held at the Hotel Statler in Boston, October 24, which was published in full in The Standard of Boston. Mr. Goddard on November 1 changed his address from Hotel Beaconsfield, Brookline, Mass., to 205 East 9th St., Plainfield, N. J.

Rev. and Mrs. J. E. Ingham spent last winter in Florida, and early in June returned to Wakefield, Kans., where Mr. Ingham finished his pastorate at the close of 1928 and where the family home continues to be.
