1889*

Joe Morgan was the only man from Texas in our class. After graduation he returned to the Lone Star State and lived there until his death in 1923. In connection with our recent reunion plans we received interesting information about his family. Mrs. Morgan still lives in Dallas. The oldest son, Guiton, received a B.S. degree from the University of Texas in 1920 and a C.E. degree in 1921. For 11 years he was a Bridge Engineer with the State Highway Department, for 3 years County Engineer of Travis County and for the last 6 years has been City Manager of Austin, "a position he has filled with credit," a competent authority told us. The second son also graduated from the University of Texas, in 1923 and is a District Engineer with the Austin Bridge Company. The youngest son, Charles, graduated in Geology from the Southern Methodist University and later took a graduate course in Geophysics at Harvard, and received a Master's Degree. He was in Geophysical work for several years in Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Okla- homa and other central states. In 1933 he went as Geophysicist with Admiral Byrd on his second Antarctic Expedition. On the return trip in 1935, he left the others at New Zealand and visited Tahiti and other islands in the South Seas. Shortly after his return to the United States he became associated with Herbert Hoover Jr., as Manager of the United Geophysical Corporation, with headquarters at Pasadena, California. He is now Vice President of that Corporation and makes extended trips in the West Indies, Central and South America. Some time after returning from the Antarctic, on Admiral Byrd's recommendation, he was awarded the Congressional medal. (See the Admiral's book, Discovery, for references to Morgan's work.)

David Williamson, formerly in the Advertising Department of the San Francisco News, now represents the Nash Motor Car Company in Oakland.

After reunion, Ned Dearborn and his wife "circulated among friends and relatives in New Hampshire for a few days," then went to Barre, Mass., Greenwich, Conn., also "spent a day cruising around Whalen's Wonder." Next, more calls in N. H., nine days in New Brunswick and finally, back home to Hilton Village, Virginia, a round trip of 3400 miles.

During the summer Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Hazen were at Magnolia, Massachusetts for a few weeks and Wheat was in nearby Marblehead.

Gov. Murphy has reappointed Wellman a trustee of the University of N. H.

The latest from Warden is an excellent picture of him on the front page of "Montana's Best News Gatherer." In his official capacity as president of the North Montana State Fair, he is shown signing a contract for "a rodeo such as has never been seen in Montana," to appear at next year's fair. This year's rodeo was a thriller but next year's is to be better! May we not assume that sending this advance notice to the Secretary is equivalent to an invitation from "Doc" to his classmates to be his guests in Great Falls next August, at the 1940 Fair?

Secretary, 87 Milk St., Boston
