1913*

"I ran into Russ Shepler yesterday morning in a 5th Ave. bus and took him to lunch at the new Dartmouth Club, which he had never visited. He comes to New York every five weeks to buy women's wear for his store and promises to make this club his headquarters from now on. Collin Wells joined us and we had a good visit.

"I visited Ross at Vandergrift several week-ends exactly 25 years ago this spring, when I was beginning in the advertising business, and I was glad to talk over some of the old days, including the summer we spent after Junior year in Summer School when he, Buttsey, Cully Welsh, Jack Scarry and I all lived at the Phi Sig house. "Bill Appleyard and Eve have supposedly made a trip to California. He wrote me asking about the boys on the coast and I told him Squire Wilson would steer him, Len Manley is at Lajolla and if he wanted real action he could look up Walter Wanger and Arthur Hornblow of 'l5, and Gene Markey 'lB or so, who are now married respectively to Joan Bennett, Myrna Loy, and Hedy Lamarr. ''Nate's ao years as Treasurer of the Dartmouth Club was recently concluded and his resignation was made the occasion of a fine testimonial dinner when he was presented with one of Abercrombie's best cellarettes.

"Jack Macdonald journeyed out to Davenport, lowa, in December to a big dinner given by his associates of Walsh Construction Company and saw Dinnie Waterman, who is attorney for the company. They had hoped to round up Harve McClary but he had gone up country on a boar hunt or something, and couldn't be found."

Such a letter gladdens a Secretary's heart. Oh, that others would do likewise!

Earle Barber is salesmanager for John E. Oilier Engraving Co., makers of printing plates for advertising copy in magazines, catalogs, folders, etc., and advertisers production service embracing commercial photos, retouch and layout art for supplementary service in creating engraving work. He and Phyllis are living at the Ridgeview Hotel, Evanston, Ill.

Rockford, Ill., merchants have the honor of initiating a cooperation program between retailers and school authorities designed to improve selling and to provide more opportunities for those who sell. Attorney Carleton K. "Cully" Welsh, president of the Board of Education, describes this program as the first step toward a more practical training of high school students to take their places in present day business and industry. "The Rockford program calls for a

cooperative training course for post-graduate students of the Senior High School wherein the participating students must devote at least two periods of school time to subjects related to the distribution of merchandise, and must spend as many hours working in one of the co-operating stores as a total amount of time spent in school.

"It also includes the training of store personnel during morning store hours on week days and the training of extra sales persons in evening classes.

"In taking the lead in the training of students for work in the retail field, the Rockford merchants are following the example set by trade and industry, which groups have, for many years carried on part time co-operative training programs for students planning on entering these respective fields of work."

Raeburn R. McMahon is president of McMahon Bros., Inc., Morrisville, Vt.— Buick and Chevrolet Sales and Service. Remember the address when touring Vermont. Try Maple St. first if after hours.

At the New York dinner on February 15th. Mac Donald, Lenfesty, Morton *Wells, Ashton, Alden, Dent, Riley, Crawford, Towler and Remsen were present. Ned Crawford was on a business trip from Chicago and Al Dessau was among the missing as he was on a vacation trip to Mexico Dent joined the grandfather group with a grandson Jack Mac Donald was re-elected president of the Thayer Society of Civil Engineers and is the proud father of a third daughter Any not in attendance at the dinner were undoubtedly trying to shovel themselves out.

Men in the class living around Boston have been invited to be guests of the Twentieth Century Association at its Saturday luncheons at 3 Joy St., and it is hoped that as many as wish will bring their wives. Speakers are always interesting—for example: S. K. Ratcliffe of London on "Britain in War Time" and V. F. Calverton, "The Challenge of Modern Mexico," were two in March.

William H. "Dutch" Cary left on March 2nd for a cruise to Havana, Panama and Costa Rica; a well deserved vacation. He has just resigned the presidency of the Brockton Hospital and also the presidency of the Community Chest, a position he has filled these last hard years. Dutch says business now seems to take more time and he is also a trustee of a Savings Bank and a director of a National Bank in Brockton.

I quote now from a letter just received from Bill Towler:
