Class of 1909
Elbert M. Moffatt is secretary of the Executive Board of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Southern Asia and branch treasurer of the Board of Foreign Missions, with offices at Byculla, Bombay, India. Moffatt is planning his furlough for next year so that he can be present at our reunion.
Norman R. Catharin is now associated with Constructive Credit Service, Inc., 52 Chauncy St., Boston.
Ogden Brown has been appointed president of the Western Insurance Review Company, St. Louis, publisher of the Insurance Review, and will serve also as managing editor.
At last we have a challenge for the class championship on something, i.e., we have a letter from Hal Burbank, whose duties as chairman of the board of tutors of the division of history, government, and economics at Harvard, as well as the usual requirements of a university professor, have still left him time for fly fishing. In fact he threatens to bring to the reunion an assortment of flies—wet and dry—trout and salmon-tied with his own fingers. He and Joe will have a party, with Cad Cummings to be heard from!
George Oliphant's work as senior vicepresident of Castle & Overton, Inc., in connection with the sale of imported materials to paper mills, keeps him traveling abroad frequently. He had barely returned from Germany and Sweden when he started abroad again. In between, he threatens to write us some real news.
Howard Moody died July 18 at his home in Derry, N. H., after an illness of about three months. A fuller obituary notice will appear later.
Randolph Simpson wrote us from Portland, Oregon, enclosing a check for the Alumni Fund but neglecting to state anything about himself. This is the first time we have heard from him in years.
Cap Kelly, our distinguished Seattle attorney, has been appointed director of labor and industry by Governor Martin. Cap was an ardent Roosevelt worker.
Joan Avery has developed into a first class equestrian, and I shouldn't be surprised if she beat father at golf before long.
Bob and Marjorie Mills Bums are well settled" in their Winchester home, and you will run into some visiting classmate or other most any evening you call there. It's worth the price of admission to watch Bob mow the lawn.
Of course, the class will be feverishly interested to know that Phil and I cleaned up Bob Burns and Sandy Hooker this summer at golf, as usual. We got absentminded one day at Laconia, so much so that they were eight points up at the end of the 12th hole, so we only beat them one up on that trip, but otherwise things were as usual. Collections being as they are, it has been my chief source of income. *
Secretary, Atlantic National Bank Bldg., 100 Milk St., Boston
