1920*

Has anyone in the Class the same job they had three years ago? It certainly doesn't seem so the way the changes come in.

My old reunion bud, Ed Bowen, is now a 1st Lt. in the Marines stationed, when last heard from, in Quantico, Va. He has rented his new home and moved his family down with him. He was all set to go some months ago, given up job, etc., when he had a sudden attack of appendicitis.

Charlie McKenzie has been called from the faculty of Washington University and is now a ist Lt. in the Army Air Corps. He is an instructor in the ground school at Randolph Field, Texas Laddie Meyers has accepted a captain's commission in the Army Air Corps Intelligence Division. He reported at Miami, Florida, and his next stop may be Harrisburg, Pa Lieut.-Commander Mel Merritt has charge of metals salvage for the Navy with headquarters at Washington. He is already on the casualty list having broken his finger in a softball game. He was in his old position behind the plate and a fast one caught him on the pinkie. He'd better stick to his low 70's on the golf course.

Zack Jordan was in the East again this summer. He was on his way overseas and expects to be gone for the duration

Our Treasurer, Roc Elliott, from whom you will hear soon, has been named chairman of the 1943 Greater Boston United War Fund Campaign. He's VP of Currier & Cos., Inc.

And speaking of things monetary brings up the momentuous question of our 25th Reunion Memorial Fund which we will present to the College in two years and eight months. The results of the campaign have thus far been very disappointing to Stan Newcomer and his able committee. I think we will all agree that the future of liberal arts colleges hangs by a pretty slim thread, and it is only contributions which we must make that will keep them alive. You will remember that last spring it was suggested that we include in our quota of War Bonds a certain per cent payable to our Memorial Fund. As the war effort progresses this idea seems increasingly good. We certainly can't let it be said that '20 didn't do more than its share when the going was tough.

If knowing the village president helps any in cashing checks or warding off John Law, we are all lucky when in or about Bellows Falls. George Page, head of the Merchants' Assn., and prominent clothing merchant, was recently elected to the forementioned presidency Another Vermont progression: John Hill has been appointed manager of the Rutland, Vt., branch of A. M. Kidder & Cos.

Jim Stark has an excellent position in the shoe department of Montgomery Ward Cos. Dutch Wilkie and I had a luncheon engagement with him last week, but his trip to Amsterdam was delayed.

With the constant changing in vocations and avocations this column should be filled with news. Don't wait until somebody else tells me you're back in the Navy or have gone to Washington—drop me a post card. In these times we are all especially interested in knowing what our classmates are doing to help win the war, so keep them informed through this column.
