1915

Congratulations to H. S. "Turk" Turner on his recent election to the treasurership and to the board of directors of the Norton Pike Company, manufacturers of sharpening stones and abrasives, with plants in Worcester, Mass., and Littleton, N. H. The Norton Pike Company resulted several years ago from a consolidation of the Norton Company of Worcester, and the Pike Manufacturing Co., and old-time "North Country" concern with plants at Pike and Littleton, N. H. The new company is a subsidiary of the Behr-Manning Co. of Troy, N. Y., with which concern

"Turk" has been connected for several years past.

At the annual meeting and banquet of the Boston Alumni Association held Feb. 3, Fifteeners present and accounted for were Pete Winship, Leon Tuck, Kike Richardson, Bill Huntress, Earl Clough, Don Bennink, Jack Mason, Al Sherman, Dale Barker, String Downing, Didk Merrill, Hal Corwin, Howie Fuller, Erl MacAndrews, Harold Martin, Eddie Shea, and Art Williams. At the election of officers Dale Barker was honored by being elected one of the vice presidents of the Association. So, congratulations to you, Dale.

For many years the records of the class for the period from June 1915 to June 1925 have been missing,—consequently the permanent records for that period are absolutely blank as far as official activities of the class are concerned. Included with these records were the class by-laws, quite an elaborate document as we remember it. We have a fair record of the activities during undergraduate days, and a more complete one covering the years from 1925 on. Our recording set-up consists of a permanent secretary's book in which the minutes of the various meetings are kept, and in which you each once (in case you have forgotten) spread your name in your best Spenserian, followed by a portion of your pre-college life history; and quite a sizable "morgue" to which we occasionally turn, and which consists of personal letters, newspaper clippings, answers to question- naires, etc. We have taken it upon our- selves, however, to bring these records up to date; and we would appreciate any information that might be given us, whether it be from memory, scrap-books, clippings, or what not. What is especially desired are newspaper clippings or other information covering the death of any classmate, or concerning unusual achievements of Fifteeners. We will return these if desired, once we have recorded the desired information.

Speaking of minutes of meetings, we note in reading the records that in our first meeting "it was moved and carried that the class of 1915 approve the proposed freshman caps," just as if it was our own idea. At the second meeting a five- cent tax was voted "to pay for the secretary's book, and the balance for working capital." At one time we had $11 in the treasury; at another, $.45; and then again, "the treasurer had nothing to report." A "no-deal" election agreement was actually voted at one meeting, but no mention is made as to the success or failure of the "new deal" adopted. What days they were!

The Boston Globe of Jan. 8 carries a long article on the elevation of "Howie" Fuller to the rank of colonel of the 182d Inf., Massachusetts National Guard. Quoting the Globe: "Col. Fuller, a former Lt. Col. and executive officer of the regiment, is an overseas veteran, and has served in many commissioned capacities in the post- war iB2d Infantry. He is a native of Wrentham, an attorney in Boston, a graduate of Dartmouth and the Boston University Law School."

Further information as to the military is to the effect that our executive committeeman, Earl Clough, is president of the "C" Company Association, 101st Engineers of the Yankee Division A.E.F., with headquarters at the YD Club-house, Huntington Ave., Boston.

Bill Huntress sure picks his committees for 1915's 25th. Nothing short of a blanket sabbatical leave will prevent an academic welcome upon our arrival in Hanover for that all-important event, with Professors Bowler, Low, Montsie, Porter, and Sargent on the reception committee. The sixth member of this committee is Murray Austin, a Norwichite from across the river, and of course in cahoots with the Hanoverites. And will our budget be balanced? The budget committee is made up of shrewd and conservative accountants like Chan Foster and Leon Williams; hard- shelled bankers such as Phil Alexander and Fred Lowe; and the Yankee merchant, Norvie Milmore. It will be worse than getting a dime out of mother for to go to the movies. We won't even have to think during this reunion, because Bill intends to transport us, receive us, entertain us, feed us, audit us, costume us,—but Bill says "more about these matters later."

TRAVELERS

From one source and another we have learned that: Kike Richardson spent the early part of the year on a fishing expedition to the North Country, Connecticut Lake, we believe; and some of us lesser lights are led to wonder how these barristers get away with such as they do
