1905*

We regret to report the death from cardiac asthma of Harry G. Halleck who was with our Class in Hanover during 1901-02. Harry received the B.S. degree at Cornell in 1903 and M.E. in 1906.

Mr. Halleck died in Terre Haute, Indiana, while en route to the South for his health. He was born in Gold Hill, Nevada, July 21, 1882. After graduating from Cornell University he worked on the Panama Canal, and from that time was engaged in construction work. He served overseas during the first World War as a Captain of Engineers, 306th Brigade Tank Corps. His work at the time of his death was as construction adviser on the U. S. Housing Authority Project in Hammond, Indiana. He resided at 735 Cleveland Street, Gary, Indiana.

Harry Peyser continues to render valuable service as member of the Portsmouth, New Hampshire, School Board.

Midge Reid, ever generous and genial, in forwarding a check for a worthy brother, wrote recently that his strength is slowly but surely returning.

Midge, who attended the Harvard and Princeton games last fall, reports a fine time. He had the pleasure of attending the '01 Dinner at the Dartmouth Club in New York and enjoyed the hospitality of '01 men present, among whom was President Hopkins. He returned from New York with Sliver and Mrs. Hatch and their daughter. Midge forwards the excellent suggestion that we have an '05 group from New England at Princeton next fall.

J. Winslow Pierce of 16 Court Street, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is with Proctor, Cook and Company, Stock Brokers, at 35 Congress Street, Boston, Mass. The Proctor of the firm is our own George Newton.

Thirty-two members of the Classes of '01, '03, '04 and '05 had a good dinner and a very pleasant evening of songs and reminiscences at Schrafft's Restaurant in Boston on Saturday night, March 28. The Class of 1902 was not represented because the decision had been made to hold no Class activities until their reunion in May. Bob Harding, Roger Brown, Dr. Bill Clough and C. A. Campbell represented '05. Your Secretary was detained in Concord by a business engagement. It was voted to hold the third get-together of these five classes in the spring of 1943. Much credit for the success of the Boston meeting goes to Bob Harding who had charge of all local arrangements.

Fred and Mrs. Ghase of Milton, Mass., have announced the engagement of their daughter, Miss Edith Warren Chase, to Woodrow Wilson Sayre, son of Francis Bowes Sayre, U. S. High Commissioner of the Philippines, and the late Mrs. Jessie Woodrow Sayre.

Miss Chase is a granddaughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. H. Clifton Gallagher of Milton and the late Judge and Mrs. Frederick Chase of Hanover, N. H. She was graduated from Milton Academy and in 1940 from Smith College. The prospective bride, who made her debut in the season of 1936-37, is a member of the Junior League. She is associated with the Family Welfare Society in Cambridge.

Mr. Sayre is a grandson of the late President Wilson and the late Mrs. Ellen Louise Axson Wilson and of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Sayre of Bethlehem, Pa. He was graduated from the St. Albans School in Washington, D. C. and in 1940 from Williams College where he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He is now engaged in graduate study in philosophy at Harvard. Plans are being made for a June wedding. Congratulations from '05 to the betrothed.

At a delightful tea given on Saturday, April 11, at their residence at 20 Auburn Street, Concord, N. H., Doctor and Mrs. Andrew Macmillan announced the engagement of their daughter, Emily, to Joseph Merrill Jr., son of our Joe.

Miss Macmillan was graduated from Colby Junior College at New London, N. H. and the Erskine Secretarial School in Boston. She is employed in secretarial work at Sawyer's Wholesale Fruit Company in Boston. Joseph Merrill is employed in Boston. The best wishes of the Glass go to these young people.

It was a pleasure to have dinner in Concord, N. H. recently with Roger Brown, who was here to get registration plates for some of his large fleet of trucks which he is operating from his headquarters in Somerville, Mass. Roger reports that business is booming as a result of transportation of materials to manufacturers with war orders and to government housing projects.

Lt. Colonel Walter Lillard, Headmaster of Tabor Academy, writes:

"My school by the sea is proving to be of some value in this big fight. It has been officially rated by Secretary Knox as an Honor Naval School. About 75 of our graduates are now serving with reserve commissions in the Navy, Coast Guard, Merchant Marine, and Naval Air Force. That indicates the value of a little salt water mixed in with education. All of our present student body are receiving naval cadet training in addition to their usual preparation for college entrance. Our seniors are entering college in June instead of in September and will tend toward the Naval R.O.T.C. courses and the Navy V-7 program. During our summer term of 8 weeks we shall concentrate on rural cadet training for a sizeable group of boys from other schools. As for the faculty, we have one member flying for the Navy in Iceland and another in Australia with an artillery regiment. It's a world war!

"As for our family report, the most interesting note is about Barbara who flew westward recently with her baby, Judy (3 months) to assist in guarding (censored) with the incidental help of her husband, Capt. Langdon Powers of the all th Coast Artillery, Anti-Aircraft.

"My own war effort at present includes two jobs besides skippering my school. I am continuing to serve as G-1 (Assistant Chief of Staff for Personnel) on the Massachusetts State Staff—and I am directing a training program for munitions workers at West Hanover."

A fine record, Walter. May we hear of the war activities of other 'O5 men!

Secretary,4 Holt St., Concord, N. H. Class Agent, 35 Pickwick Road, West Newton, Mass.
