CLASS OF 1920

To ghost PEABSON: all praise for a column well conducted.

General Motors continues to honor Twenty men with positions of increased responsibility. HIKE NEWELL, for seven years manager in New England for Frigidaire, has been called to Dayton as vice-president of the Frigidaire Corporation. Press notices speak of the remarkable growth of N. E. business under his direction, of an increase from 24 to 1400 dealers and salesmen during the seven years, of a 1931 volume 46 per cent greater than 1930. According to dispatches Hike is the youngest man holding an important executive position in the company. JOHN FELLI, recently transferred by G. M. to the General Aviation Corporation, has been elected treasurer and assistant secretary of that unit. He is in charge of all financial activities of the plant near Baltimore.

PHIL GROSS, traveler and convention attender, recently telephoned the Secretary on a short trip to Boston, reporting a trip in December to Tulsa.

Dr. Baketel, dad of our famed president, sent us a copy of Medical Economics containing the previously reported article by SPENCE SNEDECOB. The article, relating experiences of a trans-Atlantic yacht race, is copiously illustrated by snapshots of the author in various stages of nautical dress and undress. Spence is on the staff of the Hackensack (N. J.) Hospital, and is active in several medical societies. According to dad, SHEKBY was scheduled for a trip to Florida during the month of January. A report of the trip for our next issue will be awaited.

Just too late for publication in the last issue was received the announcement (engraved) of the association with F. A. Willard & Co., members of N. Y. Stock Exchange, of Jack Mayer. On the reverse (in handwriting) is the announcement of the arrival in the At, HAAS household of Barbara Ann on November 24 last.

The Alumni Records Office gives formal notices of a number of address changes, some of which involve new business connections. BILL SMITH, formerly owner and operator of a commercial greenhouse, is now a buyer for Atlantic Commission Co. with offices at 27 West Front St., Cincinnati . . . ALMUS RUSSELL is back at Cornell instructing and doing graduate work after a period at Colgate . . . RED BARNES' box company has merged, emerging as Consolidated Paper Box Co. with offices and factory at Somerville, Mass. . . . W. T. Grant Manager KEN HUSSEY, from Danbury, Conn., to Framingham, Mass. . . . ART STOCKDALE, whose past connections include People'sHome Journal, Farm Journal, and Parents'Magazine, is now advertising manager of Needlecraft magazine with offices in the Chrysler Building . . . DICK KIMBALL is back in San Jose, Calif., with the Kew Company . . . PHIL KITFIELD is assistant to project engineer, Massachusetts Department of Public Works, in the State House, Boston, and is living at 1 Nason Road, Swampscott, Mass.

In years of decreased income from invested funds, the key position of the Alumni Fund in the financial program of the College becomes far more apparent. May the class of 1920 play its part well in the 1932 campaign that begins on April 1!
