CLASS OF 1902

The Lumber Trade Journal prints the following announcement of the advancement of Dan T. Cushing:

"When the board of directors of the Great Southern Lumber Company, Bogalusa, La., appointed Daniel T. Cushing general manager, as successor to Col. W. H. Sullivan, the decision was one that was expected by the lumber industry and the stockholders and employees of the Great Southern Lumber Company as a natural result of Mr. Cushing s training and experience in its affairs. For many years his work has been of a confidential executive nature with greater responsibility than the title of assistant treasurer with the duty of signing checks and keeping the bank account straight would indicate. In handling the intimate affairs that were entrusted to him, Mr. Cushing has demonstrated his ability as a thinker, a doer, and an executive. He possesses a faculty of conservatism as well as initiative, so that under his administration there is no doubt the Great Southern Lumber Company will rise to an even higher position than the plane upon which it now is operating.

"Of all the employees of the Great Southern Lumber Company, Mr. Cushing ranked second in the length of his service. He started in as paymaster in the fall of 1905, when the offices were located in Covington, La. Two years later he was appointed treasurer of the Pearl River Lumber Company, a subsidiary of the Great Southern Lumber Company. In 1908 Mr. Cushing was transferred to the Chicago office as credit manager, when the sales were conducted from that place. When the sales office was brought to Bogalusa in 1910, Mr. Cushing came back to Bogalusa, and from his arrival became assistant treasurer and active in the handling of the details of the executives' department of the company. Thus it will be seen that he has had an intimate acquaintance with all the policies of the company from its start in construction through all phases of its development, which is a very valuable asset to the company in his justly earned elevation to the position of general manager.

"In addition to his duties as general manager of the Great Southern Lumber Company, Mr. Gushing was elected president of the Bogalusa Turpentine Company and president of the Bogalusa Stores Company."

Dick Churchill reports that his boy is now a junior at Cornell, specializing in ornamental horticulture.
