1907*

The marriage of Frederic Paine Worthen, son of Dr. and Mrs. Thatcher W. Worthen, to Helen Holmes Farnsworth took place on October 10 at Winchester, Mass. Mrs. Worthen and "Tute" have also recently announced the engagement of their daughter, Elizabeth, to Dr. William Nelson Runyon of Plainfield, N. J. Frederic is a senior at Dartmouth, and Elizabeth, a graduate of Vassar, is on the faculty of the Junior School. Her wedding is planned for December.

Roland Tileston sends in this interesting report concerning his war activities: "I was director for several sessions of Civilian Pilot Training under the Civil Aeronautics Administration at Pomona College—both primary and advanced.

"Due to demand for physicists my department at Pomona College has considerably increased in size —we are training men especially for work in Electronics.

"Since June, I have been in charge of personnel procurement on the Pacific Coast for the Naval Research Laboratory at Washington, D. C." A further report, omitted by Roland but included by Mrs. Tileston, provides the most interesting information that they were married about August 1 and are living in San Marino, Calif.

John Jewett is secretary of Selective Service Board No. 44, Brookline, Mass.; also a member of the Brookline Safety Committee and on the Advisory Board of Civilian Defense School.

Arthur Leavitt's younger son, John Leavitt, is—or was in the late summerundergoing air training in the R.A.F. in Southern Rhodesia. He had been teaching at Robert College in Constantinople for two years, 1939-41. In August of 1941 he resigned from the college staff, joined the R.A.F., went to Egypt and later to Southern Rhodesia. He hopes to transfer to our air force later. Arthur continues his work at the National Archives in Washington, D. C., and his activities are tied up to some considerable extent with the war effort.

A 1 White wants it clearly understood that the St. Louis area is taking the war effort very seriously. He writes: "We have three large army camps either in or close to St. Louis and it is one of the largest manufacturing centers in the country producing war material. The people out here are playing this war for keeps and no fooling." Al disavows any important war activity for himself but he has been a member of the Publicity Committee of the Office of Civilian Defense in Missouri and has learned how to be an air raid warden.

Ted Glattfeld writes: "My part at present is to help keep the Department of Chemistry at the University of Chicago going. About three-fourths of our staff is completely or partially diverted to defense work here or elsewhere. With practically no cut in course offerings, that means that the few of us who are not on defense must take on extra teaching and administrative duties to free the others who are."

Harry Kelly is more than busy managing Adams & Kelly Company of Omaha, Nebraska, of which he is secretary and treasurer and the Baker Ice Machine Company of which he is secretary. Both companies are heavily involved in war production.

HARVARD WEEK-END

I quote the following report from one of our classmates:

"Dear Classmates: "Friday evening was the annual Get-Together at the University Club the night before the Harvard game. The attendance was not as large as usual. Various reasons were given such as tooth pulled out, had to go to the Harvard Club, stomach upset, had to meet father-in-law at train, etc. There were, in fact, just four present—Bill Smart, Bishop Niles, Swipes Andrews, Cully Pierce. However, we hired a bedroom without the bed but with a keg of beer. We happened to meet some of the members of the Honorable class of 1909. They saw we were lonesome and asked us to join them. When they learned that "There Was One Keg of Beer for the Four of Us," they were more than cordial. After an interlude two very fine classes, 1910 and 1911, happened in and saw the Keg and immediately invited all of us to see the Movies in their room. Altogether we had a swell time and hope next year, if there is a next year, that the ailing members will be in good health and with all others possible WILL SHOW UP."

Can any classmate supply information to the Secretary concerning Francis R. Tate '07, non-graduate? His latest available address is Quincy, Mass

Class Treasurer Bill Cummings reports as of November 1 that he had received class dues from one out of two '07 graduates—not a very satisfactory report, you will agree. There must be 50 men who can respond promptly to his latest appeal and who have probably intended to do so. If you have put off this important obligation, please act now!

Secretary, 140 Federal St., Boston, Mass

Treasurer, Box 360, Newport, Me.
