1905*
The Class mourns the loss of a loyal member and genial gentleman, James A. Vaughn. Henry Thrall has contributed a fine obituary article which appears in the Obituary Section of this issue. Loving sympathy is extended to the members of the Vaughn family in their bereavement.
Congratulations to Sliver Hatch for his first year of leadership as Class Agent and to the Class for the excellent record of contributions to the 1941 Alumni Fund.
Miss Priscilla Chamberlin, daughter of Lafayette and Mrs. Chamberlin of Winchester, was married to Mr. Stanley Edward Neill of Winchester in the local Unitarian Church on June 7, 1941. The bride was graduated from Smith College in 1937. The bridegroom prepared at Phillips Andover Academy for Dartmouth, from which he was graduated in 1934. The congratulations and best wishes of the Class are extended to these young people. We hope to meet them at the next Class picnic.
Bob Clark, native of Derry, N. H., resident of Oakland, California, paid your Secretary a most welcome visit on Thursday, June 5, 1941. He looked hale and hearty and his silvery thatch adds to his benign presence. The next day Bob was entertained at lunch in Boston by Lafayette, Sliver, Jim Donnelly and Bob Harding. We regret that Bob's annual trips East do not coincide with our reunions. Bob sees Batch and Varsity Billman occasionally in California.
Dr. William R. Clough Jr., '34 (M.D. Columbia '37) has joined his father, Dr. Bill Clough '05, in the practice of surgery and obstetrics at New London, New Hampshire. Dr. Joseph M. Clough '32, (Jefferson Medical College '36), another son, is taking post-graduate work in the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. Dr. Bill has been the wise physician as well as guide, philosopher and friend to the people of New London and the surrounding towns since 1905. It is heartening to note that Dr. William Jr. has turned away from the lures of city practice to the rewarding service of caring for the sick among the people in the hills and valleys around New London. May the day never come when there will not be a Dr. Clough to practice the healing art around Lake Sunapee!
Dr. Andy MacMillan and his daughter, Emily, report a six weeks' trip to the Pacific Coast during the summer. They had a delightful lunch with Henry Thrall and Jimmy Vaughn in Minneapolis only a short time before the lamented passing of the latter. The trip included visits to Yel- lowstone Park, Portland, Seattle, San Fran- cisco, Los Angeles, Mexico and the Grand Canyon. On the return, Dr. MacMillan spent several days in attending clinics in Minneapolis. Emily enters the Pierce School in Boston for her second year this fall. Fred Chase's daughter was a student there last year. Betty MacMillan enters the Erskine School in Boston this month. She was at Colby Junior College last year.
C. C. Hills, the Sage o£ Norwich, Vermont, pays your Secretary an occasional visit in Concord. He is always a most welcome visitor because his pithy comments on men and events are most entertaining and enlightening.
Walter Nourse, Principal of the Thomas Edison Junior High School in Los Angeles, taught two courses again this summer in New York University where he is well along toward his Doctor's Degree. Walter and some o£ his colleagues are working on a textbook in science which will soon be published by D. C. Heath and Company. Your Secretary regrets that the malady,— worse than the seven-year itch,—cacoethes scribendi, prevented Walter from spending a week-end in New Hampshire. Walter had lunch with Lafayette Chamberlin while in Boston.
A colleague of George Putnam, who is Assistant Principal of Montclair, New Jersey High School, reports that George is rendering a fine service to the boys and girls of that large metropolitan institution.

Varsity Billman is now at 2737 Portola Way, Sacramento, California.
Carl H. Kelley is no longer at Corbett, Oregon. Any information about his present address will be most welcome.
Percy Noel is reported to be at Clifton Springs Lake, Michigan.
The Class was represented by its Secretary at the Annual Meeting of the Secretaries' Association in Hanover on Friday, June 20. It was a pleasure to meet many friends, old and new, among the secretaries. The discussions were very profitable. At the annual dinner, tendered by the College to the secretaries, President Hopkins gave an inspiring address on the international situation.
Secretary and Treasurer, 4 Holt St., Concord, N. H.
