1914*

From deep in the heart of Texas comes a booming note from Capt. Horace Borden of the Air Corps holding forth at length on the sunshine, the flowers and the rejuvenating effects generally of army life in the wide open spaces. Horace says he feels ten years younger and heartily recommends his present life to all the Fourteeners who want to join the Big Show. To one who is earth-bound it is still a bit strange to hear of flying over to Denver for a day's business and back to his Texas field for dinner. However, Horace, some of us must keep on with the more prosaic tasks of making things that go "boom" for you birds to play with. Happy landings.

"Doc" Cook writes that this fall he begins his twenty-seventh year as science head of the Hackley School in Tarrytown, N. Y. He has also been assisting at Columbia Teachers College preparing courses and manuals for aeronautics to be used in the army expanded air training program. Doc adds that he was proud to use his six foot son, Dana, in the illustrating demonstrations. He closes by remarking on the splendid baccalaureate sermon preached by Lize Wheelock at Hackley last June.

We have a classmate who is a "victim of priorities"—as he puts it. He has been an executive salesman and knows his way around factories. His business was not able to convert to war industry and consequently he is out. The Secretary will be happy to arrange contact with anyone who might be interested.

The June 1942 issue of the magazine Education contains an article by William L. Fletcher on the problems of education with respect to training for business. Bill has been for years an outstanding personnel specialist with offices in Boston.

Mr. and Mrs. Alden L. Littlefield announce the marriage of their daughter, Elizabeth to Mr. Coburn A. Buxton, the ceremony taking place on August seventh at St. Matthew's Episcopal Cathedral in Dallas, Texas.

Gordon Sleeper is now a member of the executive staff of Republic Aviation Corporation. Gordon was a pilot in the last war and naturally after an active career pioneering in radio and later in investment banking, he returns to aviation.

If you haven't already replied to the inquiry concerning the correction of yourself and family with the war effort, please do it soon. The College Records Office is desirous of keeping their information up to date. Likewise if you hear of meritorious work by Dartmouth men in your community either military or civilian send it along. The performer may be too modest and the merit should be recorded. We want to secure a complete war service record of all Dartmouth men and all items forwarded will be cleared through the respective class secretaries.

Secretary, 231 Belmont Ave., Springfield, Mass Treasurer, The Stanley Works, Amer. Tube & Stamping Plant, Bridgeport, Conn.
