Class of 1915
In canvassing various members of the class during the past several, months we have finally found one who takes life easy, —Edwin "Doc" Noyes, the two-gun man of our tenth reunion, and more recently tax collector of the town of Duxbury, Mass. His official letterhead sets up his office hours as being from 10.00 to 12.00 A.M., except on Saturdays. In answer to our inquiry as to one of our classmates, he refers us to the 1913 Aegis, so what can we do with the like of him, more than to wish him the secretaryship. However, regardless of "Doc," we still retain faith in Priscilla, and their two children, Ann and Peter.
George "Gabe" Walker, of whom we inquired two months ago, is living at 560 Edgewood, River Forest, Ill., continuing in his employment as an industrial chemist. In spite of anything said in the above paragraph, I quote from "Doc" Noyes' letter: "In case you do not know, 'Gabe' has avery fine wife and two children. I havefound from experience that his attitudetoward social responsibilities has notchanged since I roomed with him in Middle Payer, and I would suggest that anycorrespondence concerning him be addressed to Mrs. Walker."
Howard Fuller, major in the 182d Infantry, Massachusetts National Guard, served as chairman of the committee which recently celebrated the 300th anniversary of the founding of this regiment, originally known as the "Fifth Massachusetts." This regiment is the oldest in the National Guard of the United States, and from the newspaper items and brochure printed concerning this tercentenary year we cannot help but compliment Howard as to his efforts in connection with this regiment.
John Healy reports from New York that he is still a bachelor, lives at the Dartmouth Club, hopes to sell insurance; and that at the annual dinner the other night he broke bread with Bob Fredericks, Leon Williams, Wy Fuller, Fred Child, Kell Rose, Russ Livermore, and Dexter Davis. His further information is that Joe Harris has returned to Atlanta, Ga. (going to Atlanta sounds bad),— but Joe is in the newspaper game (also sounds bad).
Our Boston reporter, Earl Clough, is always on the job, and advises that the following "Fifteeners" were at the annual dinner on Feb. 25.: Richardson, Rice, Fuller, Sherman, Barker, Huntress, Downing, Meader, Merrill, Milmore, Sullivan, Guest, St. Clair, Clough, Atwood, Tuck, and Dewing. Ed Dewing, Norfolk County district attorney, and candidate for attorney general of Massachusetts, was very much in evidence. Johnnie Johnson wired from Washington: "This working continues to be anuisance in that it interferes with my beingin attendance." Duke Sullivan, in spite of continued ill health throughout this winter, could not miss this event. Hal Davison wired his "best regards to every Fifteenerpresent."
News from Stick Parnell leads us to believe that he and Don Bennick are playing possum on us,—it is about time for another reunion, so why not invite the class up to that place in Pittsfield, N. H.? Incidentally, we are convinced that Stick is back to his former good health, for which the class is thankful.
Bill Rogers, one of the few congressmen our class can boast of up to date, is still a congressman; and whether he is proud of it or not, we are Hubert Sargent, through thick and thin, has outlived three administrations in Montpelier, Vt., as state highway engineer. .... Art Nichols is associate superintendent of real estate for the Mass. Mutual Life Insurance Company of Springfield, Mass., and resident in Longmeadow, Mass Walt Wanger is in the "press" every few days as a result of his motion picture productions, the most recent being out-door technicolor. . . Hank Monheimer's shingle in Chicago still reads "Bonds for Sale" . . . an" my shingle in Orleans still reads: "Send us some news."
Secretary, Orleans, Vt.
