Mrs. Leroy Walden Stott recently announced the engagement of her daughter, Miss Barbara Salisbury Stott, to Mr. Henry Tolman 2nd, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Sears Tolman of Derby, Ct.

Miss Stott is a graduate of Connecticut College for Women. Mr. Tolman prepared for college at Exeter Academy and was graduated from Brown University. He also attended the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration.

The class extends best wishes to Miss Stott and Mr. Tolman.

Bob Harding, Lafayette Chamberlin, Roger Brown and Carroll Campbell were on hand for the Class luncheon held at the Parker House on Feb. so. The second luncheon, like the first, was much enjoyed. Camp was in Boston for a few days to attend a convention of the New England Highway Commissioners. Roger Brown reported the trucking business as booming.

Ross Wilmot of River Edge, New Jersey, writes that he and Mrs. Wilmot are hale and hearty. Their two sons are married and gone from the parental roof. Ross mentions the welcome visits of his grandson, now nearly two years of age, who lives in Illinois.

Judge Harry Peyser of Portsmouth, and former Mayor Robert Marvin were trapped in their suite of law offices in the Piscataqua Bank Building, which was badly damaged by fire early in February. The Judge and the former Mayor were led down ladders by firemen. The Class rejoices that both men escaped without injury.

Charlie Eichenauer, the William Allen White of Quincy, Illinois, who is Editor of the Quincy-Herald-Whig, regrets that he never sees any of the 'O5 men. At a banquet, attended by 900 scouts and scouters, and their friends, in the Quincy Armory on February 5, 1941, Charlie was awarded the Silver Beaver for "outstanding service to youth." Only six Silver Beaver awards have been made in the thirty years of scouting in Quincy. The report of the banquet in the press was accompanied by a picture of Charlie, beaming with satisfaction over the unexpected honor. His eye is as keen as ever. Congratulations to you on this deserved recognition of your unselfish service for the boys of Quincy.

Governor Wills of Vermont has appointed William McFeeters of St. Albans a member of the Vermont Public Service Commission and designated him as chairman. The following is part of the comment on the appointment as given in the Brattleboro (Vt.) Reformer.

"The new appointee, a lawyer of long experience and acknowledged ability, has the confidence of all who are interested in matters likely to come before the Public Service Commission for adjudication. His knowledge of the law under which the commission functions is such as to make it certain that he will give an unprejudiced hearing not only to the public whose rights the commission is supposed to safeguard but to the utilities it is supposed to regulate."

William, who located in St. Albans in 1917, served as state's attorney of Franklin County from 1911 to 1920 and was executive clerk to Governor Fletcher from 1913 to 1915. He was a member of the 1939 Senate and was serving as executive clerk (legal adviser) to Governor Wills at the time of the appointment, which is for a six-year term. The Class felicitates you, William, as you assume the duties of this very important position.

Howard ("Varsity") D. Bellman is now at 5211 Big Ranch Road, Napa, Calif. Are there any Dude Ranches on this road, Varsity?

Harry G. Dennison now resides at 1 Dayton St., Worcester, Mass.

Rev. Frederick Daniels has a pastorate in Wolcott, Vermont.

Through an error, Walter Garfield Small was reported in the February MAGAZINE as now resident in Providence. Walter Garfield Small is still the efficient Superintendent of the Brockton Edison Company, residing at 36 Main St., Brockton, Mass. and Walter Blaisdell Small is the valued cashier of Bodell & Cos., Investments. His new business address is at 32 Custom House Street, Providence, R. 1., c/o Bodell & Cos.

The Fred Chases. Allen Smiths and Dick Tolmans spent several weeks in Florida during February. Doc Loder was in Florida during the first part of March and took a cruise for two weeks to the Bahamas. The George Proctors also visited Florida for a part of last month.

It is a pleasure to announce that Fletcher and Alva Hatch extend a most cordial invitation to repeat the outing at their house in West Newton oh some Saturday in May when the weather is good. Thank you both for this renewed invitation. There are rumors of several other outings for the Class in August. September and October. The sad news of the death of our Classmate, James A. Alexander of Watertown, New York was not received until the latter part of February, too late for the March MAGAZINE. The sympathy of our class is extended to the members of his family. A full report appears in the Necrology section.
