Were we seeing double (some of us have been known to now and then), when we looked at the 1915 columns in last month's magazine, or was it just one of those things? Anyhow, we always lack for news, and welcome into our columns mention of any and all good Dartmouth men. It's never too late to learn after having seen the error of one's ways,—l9l5 always was the best class,—join them and be reformed. Went over to Marblehead, Mass., the other Sunday, arriving just in time naturally to break bread with String and Grace Downing. String, as usual, is as busy as the proverbial hog on ice. He is assistant chemist of the Lynn plant of the General Electric, directly in charge of steel testing; and also secretary of the American Steel Treaters Institute, both of which positions keep him jumping as fast as his long legs will permit, between Lynn, Cleveland, Chicago, and way stations. In his spare time he socializes with the Masonic brethren, his church; and now and then appears in local theatricals.

At the annual meeting on March 3 of the Dartmouth chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, Boynton "Dick" Merrill was elected to membership. Dick is now minister of the Second church in Newton, West Newton, Mass., and is a recognized leader among New England Congregational ministers. Congratulations, Dick.

Insistent on imposing ourselves on every Fifteener possible, we called on the newlyweds, Earl and Barbara Clough, at their new home, 325 High St., Westwood, Mass. Better avail yourselves of the privilege, and that's what it is. Incidentally, Cloughie is just down to earth from personally conducting two boat-loads of his customers on trips to Bermuda. There is some catch to the trip, but regardless, we have signed up for his line of goods,—another trip is in the making.

George Ingalls has changed his business location to the Burnham Bldg., Chicago, with residence at 719 N. Genesee St., Waukegan Sid Bull is located at Billerica, Mass Edward O'Shea lives at 522 Pleasant St., Holyoke, Mass.

Word has been received of the serious illness of Paul Gibson, at Richmond, Va., and he has been in a local hospital for the past four weeks. Latest reports were very favorable, however, for his speedy recovery. Keep up your courage, Paul.

Secretary, Orleans, Vt.
