1903*

We ran across a copy of the Massachusetts Guardsman recently which contained a favorable mention of Col. Philip L. Brown, commanding the 115 th Cavalry. From the first years out of college when Dubsy Farmer, Dorg, Cushing, Frank Drown and the afore-mentioned Brown strengthened the military forces of the Commonwealth, Phil has passed through the grades to the commanding officer's position. The remembrance of his presence at the last reunion points to the physical value of such an experience. Phil unquestionably is the youngest appearing and the best set-up man of the class. He still holds position in the office of the United Shoe Machinery Co. in Boston.

Honorable Service On October 1, 1939 Harold D. King retired from active duty as Chief of the Bureau of Lighthouses pursuant to the consolidation of the Lighthouse and Coast Guard services. With a record of constant service from college days in the U. S. Geodetic Survey and later in the Lighthouse Service, rising from the bottom rung of the ladder to the top in the latter, Harold deserves the plaudits of his classmates and his college.

The remarkably interesting letter recorded in the last class report from William S. Chapin, M.D. of Muskegon Heights, Mich., has been followed by a second, equally interesting. Bill has become a factor in the rather large work of the Rescue Mission. His inheritance and his life experience have apparently headed him along a path where just such a physician as Bill is needed. Such men are seldom honored, but they gain the love of many a "forgotten man" by carrying the fruits of science along with the spiritual effort. The old world is not all materialistic yet.

A welcome letter from Frank Perham of Bethesda, Md., tells of his interests in builders' supplies and incidentally mentions an unusual occurrence of having tried some on himself determining their lasting qualities, namely, shingles. He was finally forced to rip them off much to his comfort and satisfaction. He also states that he and his wife are engaged in the antique shop business.

The Jackson Day Dinner held in Washington, Jan. 9th, may have been a material success at $100 per plate, but that a foozle was made by the management can be gleaned from a Washington newspaper head line. Jackson pays $100. Eats in Obscurity. It was ever thus with our Andrew Jackson—elusive.

Arthur J. Cohen, writing from New York, admits the advantages of greater avoirdupois, wondering how he ever at tained his majority without it. (With it at age ai you never would have been our "Kid.") He writes that Harold Hess, Ray Brown and Bucky Lewere joined him at the New York Alumni Dinner. Total weight not estimated. Bolz French, usually of this quintette, was sunning himself in cold Florida.

Mr. and Mrs. Philip N. Jones announce the engagement of their daughter, Miss Helen Le Bosquet Jones to Mr. J. Gordon Scannell, son of Dr. and Mrs. David D. Scannell of Jamaica Plain, Mass. The wedding will take place in June.
