1920*
The writing of class notes is always enjoyable but usually has the disadvantage of somewhat petering out as spring gets near. However, the condition is reversed this year as the Notes will lead up to the climax of a class reunion. This year's notes will have two objectives (a) to give all the news that's fit to print and (b) to help arouse enthusiasm so that the attendance next June will be the largest ever. As we all know the big push will be supplied by our able chairman, Pat Holbrook.
In the way of a rehearsal about 12 of us attended '19's reunion last June. They did a swell job but as usual we'll do better. Among those present, as best as I can recall, were Drs. Miller, Lappin and Snedecor; townies, Sample and Holbrook and perennials Ayres, Bowen, Baketel, Hill and McGoughran.
Gleanings from our Hanover reporter Prof. Frey:
Lyon Southworth and family were visitors in Hanover for a few weeks in the latter part of the summer.
Skootch Greeley dropped into town on a tour through New York and New England. Skootch is engaged in the radio business in Washington, doing a lot of special order work. Two or three of his devices have been patented.
Norm and Doris Richardson and sons, Carl and Fred, gave us a few minutes away from their vacation play at Winnepesaukee. The two boys are preparing for Dartmouth at Loomis. Either one of them could chastise the father with his left hand. Their superiority is not entirely physical, however, but I won't go into that.
Bill Carter spent the summer at Mas- coma Lake. According to recent reports his maximum catch was a 5" bass which Bill caught after a two-hour fight.
Harry Sampson has been at Hampton Beach all summer.
Pat Holbrook wears a worried look these days as he tries to figure out how he can produce 100% reunion attendance next June.
Red Small's recent accomplishments attacked me on three fronts. Paul Richter wrote that Red resigned from the faculty of the University of Virginia to enter the U. S. Health Service. A memo from the College confirms this by giving his new address as Nat'l Health Service, Washington, D. C. To make it unanimous Al Cate sent a clipping showing Red as the corecipient of an award from the American Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association, "in recognition of their (his and Dr. Eddy's) fundamental and outstanding studies of the chemistry pharmacology, and therapeutics of morphine derivatives."
The species celibate is becoming more and more extinct. Cross off the name of Jack Mayer from your list of '20 bachelors. On July 18, Jack married Margaret Claire Siemen of Staten Is., N. Y. "At home" is 690 Victory Blvd., Staten Island. We look forward to meeting Margaret in June. Bangor, Me. has a new superintendent of schools in the form of Art Pierce. Before accepting the appointment Art had a similar position in Reading, Mass.
The College records show that—
Metro Life Manager Paul Kay has changed his business address from Peekskill to Port Chester, N. Y.
Musician Clarence Lloyd is no longer in Providence, R. I. His new address is 347 E. 58th St., New York, N. Y. Shell Oil's Jim Lund has been transferred back to Baltimore where he was in '37.
Army Officer Charlie Cowles is now at Ohio State University. Let's hope that he and a few million others of us
don't change our address to c/o A.E.F. We all owe Bun Harvey and his Fund Committee the proverbial vote of thanks for their splendid efforts during the last campaign.
Secretary, 158 State St., Albany, N. Y.
