"Toot" Bourne has recently left the employ of the Portland Cement Association, with which lie has been connected for over twenty-five years. He has returned from Cleveland to Chicago, where he was located for many years previous to 1927.

Charlie and Mrs. Milham have just moved from New York city to Williamsburg, Va., where they are to occupy one of the beautiful Colonial houses in that most interesting city now undergoing restoration by John D. Rockefeller Jr. The particular house which is to be the Milhams' home is situated diagonally across the street from the rebuilt Colonial Capitol, and dates in its oldest section from 1724. Later additions were made in 1770 and in 1800. The house itself is a magnificent specimen of early Southern architecture, and the Milhams plan to furnish it in Colonial style throughout. Behind the house are very wonderful rose and box gardens in the eighteenth century manner, and beautiful trees adorn the whole estate. Both Charlie and Alma, who spent a week in Hanover just before going to Virginia, extend a hearty welcome to any and all 1906 men and their wives who chance to visit Williamsburg. Charlie is continuing his literary labors, and is at present engaged in writing a volume of biography which he hopes to publish in the fall of 1933.

Con Chellis has forsaken Springfield and has moved back to his old home in Meriden, N. H. His son, Converse Jr., has entered Kimball Union Academy.

New addresses, without further information regarding the addressees, that have recently come to your Secretary, include John W. Haslam, 2905 Central Ave., St. Petersburg, Fla.; Willis D. Howe, Apartado 53, Guatemala City, Guatemala, C. A.; and Warner G. White, N. Y. State Dept. of Public Works, Box 7, Paltz, N. Y.

The only 1906 son in the entering class at Dartmouth this fall is Alan A. Beetle, but Stanley Pierce is a freshman at Middlebury and Elizabeth Blood has entered Wheaton.

This is the season of the year when alumni return to Hanover in large numbers, and your Secretary is always on the lookout for classmates, but of course he misses many of them. Among those whom I have noted here for football weekends are Bill and Mrs. Bell, Bert and Mrs. Rainie, Shorty Davis, Walter and Mrs. Powers, Mike and Mrs. O'Brien, Cap and Mrs. Pierce, Con and Mrs. Chellis, Dan Hatch, Ned French, and "T" Brown. Charlie Luck was in town at the opening of college, accompanying his son Dave of the junior class, but I did not chance to see him.

Secretary, Hanover, N. H.
