Class of 1915
The death of Franklin Perry Collier at his home in Brookline, Mass., just before Christmas, came as a great shock to his many friends in the class of 1915, of which ,he was an honorary member. For more complete news of his passing, see the report of his death in this issue.
A recent issue of the Boston Transcript carried a most interesting article about Dr. Boynton Merrill, pastor of the Second church in Newton, Mass. Needless to say, it was a very complimentary article, and one which makes all of us the more proud to be known as the friends of Dick.
An interesting letter and photograph was received recently from Rus Durgin, indicating that he is still most happy at his work in Tokyo. The group picture shows the family of Mrs. Durgin, two boys, and a girl, all of whom must be happy companions for Rus in this far-away land.
After years of silence, Kike Richardson has taken time from his legal work to chide the class secretary for his frequent Hanover visits and infrequent Boston and New York trips. Suffice it to say that within a year three trips to Boston with an invitation each time that Kike have a free dinner on the Secretary have all failed to pry him away from his office.
The many friends of James A. Burbank will be pleased to know of his appointment as superintendent of the engineering and inspection division of the Travelers Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn.

Willis B. Morey, for twelve years secretary. of the Lancaster, Pa., Chamber of Commerce, has assumed the duties as secretary of the Chamber of Commerce in Fitchburg, Mass. We assume this is an advancement for Willis, at least he is advancing toward Hanover and should be among the early arrivals in June.
With the production of "The President Vanishes" Walt Wanger takes the limelight. And how he takes it! In a recent interview reported by the press, Walt is quoted as saying: "I would rather film anew idea fairly well than an old idea verywell." If the press reports are. true, many of the greatest movie stars are eager to act for Walter Wanger productions. It is also reported that the present Hollywood byword is "Watch Walter Wanger."
Secretary, 18 So. Court St., Woodsville, N. H.
