Class of 1909

Jack Childs is now advertising manager for the Nu-Enamel Corporation, and has moved his residence to Pioneer Trail, Aurora, Ohio, with offices at 8701 Kinsman Road, Cleveland. Jack was formerly editor of the Nu-Enamel News in Chicago. We have written Jack asking him for a letter of information for his constituents.

Milton Hager has been transferred from the U. S. Engineering Office in Rock Island, 111., to the Boston office in the Custom House tower.

Harriet, your scribe, and the children spent the summer at a camp on Meredith Neck that we rented, and Harriet and I played a good deal of golf at Laconia with the boys. Harriet and the boys beat me so often that, without having had the opportunity of playing against Bob Burns and Sandy Hooker very much, I suffered heavy golf losses instead of having the usual profitable golf season. I managed, however, to get Bob and Sandy up to Laconia after having practiced on the course a month and a half, but financially the results were very meagre. It looks like a tough winter for the Holmes family. But we returned in splendid physical condition and quite joyous after all. Hope you all are the same.

Saw Phil and Mabel Avery frequently this summer, as they made Laconia their base on their biweekly visits to the camp where Joan was a counselor this summer. Joan is quite an expert equestrian, and her pupils put on a very good performance. The Hookers spent the summer as usual at their mountain top place in East Corinth, Vt. It's a great place to visit if you can find it.

Marj and Bob Burns were too busy to go away for any length of time this summer, but took a few week-ends for fishing. Marj's broadcasting has continued to grow rapidly both in amount and in importance. Bob and the other executives who took over the Whiting Milk Company for National Dairies have turned operating results from red to black in a brief time, a very fine achievement, particularly under the trying conditions existing in the Boston milk market. Nevertheless they found time to work on their shrubs, roses, and flower gardens, with results that have aroused bitter envy in me. The place was perfectly lovely all summer long. We note the following changes of address:

Herbert R. Hawes, residence, 10 Wheeler Ave., Worcester, Mass.

Herbert L. Tirrell, 391 E. 149 th St., New York City.

We quote from a Cape Cod newspaper: "A fine $30,000 residence is soon to bebuilt for Mr. S. K. Bell of Exeter, N. H.,on East Bay Road, Osterville. Mr. Bell, anattorney, purchased the site this spring.H. H. Hawkins and Sons of Newton willbe the contractors on the house, which willbe of the Colonial type."
