1909*

Secretary, Room 922, 10 Post Office Sq., Boston

Milton Hager has been transferred to the Panama Canal Zone, his address now being Box 3031, Engr. Office, Cristobal, C. Z.

Marion Carroll is one of the twenty-six sophomores chosen to carry the daisy chain at Vassar next June. This means she "rates triple A" in pulchritude plus personality.

George Leavitt is president of the Ruboleum Corporation, with offices at 215 West 20th St., N. Y. C., and his new residence address is Polly Park Road, Rye, N. Y.

John Lawson is living in Salem, Mass., and is in business with his brother-in-law.

Elbert Moffatt is in the states on a year's leave from India and was in Boston in March. He plans to be in Hanover with us in June and can be reached in the meantime in care of the Methodist Board of Foreign Missions, 150 Fifth Ave., New York City. I had lunch with him and got him to tell me something of his work. He handles several million dollars worth of property and a very substantial annual budget for the church mission in India, but that's only one item among his various occupations. It would take several pages to give even an adequate outline. We will have to get him to talk about it at reunion. He's doing a big job in a highly effective way, and his work is done under circumstances far different from those under which most of us work.

Buster Brown also was in Boston briefly in March, but your scribe was in bed with the grippe and missed his date with him. Buster is in the publishing business, president of Western Insurance Review in St. Louis, and his residence is 226 E. Jefferson Ave'., Kirkwood, Mo. Buster got together with Ingie Fearing, but we haven't heard of any casualties as yet.

John Beebe, who has been assistant regional forester for the U. S. Forest Service in charge of the division of engineering in San Francisco since 1936, has been appointed chief of the division of power and flood control surveys with the Federal Power Commission. He will have headquarters at Washington.

The Sheldons are planning to bring both children with them to reunion. If any of the rest of you are bringing any of the children with you, you might let me know, so that we may make plans for them. Of course, if they are already in Hanover, or will be attending reunions of their own in Hanover, you needn't bother. This is addressed particularly to the Tuttles, the Sheldons, the Thorns, and the rest of you who have children of a tender age. Bob Burns may bring one of his grandchildren if properly encouraged.

Remember that we have a date in Hanover at six o'clock on Friday evening, June 16. Those who cannot possibly get there until Saturday should arrive if possible by 11:30 for the parade and alumni luncheon. The ball game will be in the afternoon this year, and the class will get together at 6 P.M. Saturday for the rest of the evening.

Please send me this month a picture, or at least a snapshot, of yourself and each member of your family. Send these in this month whether you are coming or not. Portrait style preferred.

Almost every day we get word from someone to add to the list of those planning to return to reunion. Of course, there will be a few who will find themselves held up at the last minute by broken legs or some other acts of God, but as this is written (April 5) indications are that we will have the largest number back that we have ever had, with a very large proportion of wives and children among those present. You will receive application blanks for rooms from the bursar. Better reply promptly.
