Bob Bishop has just been appointed general sales manager of the lighting division of Sylvania Electric Products. He was formerly eastern sales manager for this company.

Bob Rhoades, president of the Woodward and Wright Last Company is now president of the National Last Assn.

It is rumored that Ted Geisel is another '25er taking a dive into the Navy.

Cliff Hill is busy WPB-ing for Donald Nelson and is rated as one of the top men in that outfit. He recently got a nice splash of publicity in the Washington press.

As of Nov. 5, Max Emerson writes from New Guinea: "Have been holding my own little prayer meetings almost nightly in a cute little fox hole, while Tojo moans in the heavens above and then silently drops his unearthly burden. "Tropical places are all an old story to me, but this place is just about the most forlorn I've ever seen. Natives are very dark and picturesque shape of their nose is almost Semitic and they may be one of the list tribes. Cannibals live in the mountains and are still practising among themselves. Regards to any of the '25ers you may see."

Now on November 26 Bunny Levison took to wife Miss Marian Cassler of Laconia. The wedding took place in the Copley-Plaza in Boston in the presence of the families and a group of friends.

Lou Kimball is another who does not let time lie idle on his hands. When his good Frigidaire job was shot out from under him by the war, he went Sylvania Electric Products and is now manager of their important Fluorescent Fixture Department.

George Stephenson is with the Sea Bees. He is in training at Norfolk. Buck Snyder is county clerk of Ulster County, New York, and came up for re-election this fall. Phil Coykendall has just received his promotion to the rank of lieutenant commander.

Lt. Gardner Howe of aircraft armament was in New York recently and had time for a chat with Bill Griffin. Bill writes that Gardner still spits to windward, but is getting salty fast. Jack Davis is studying celestial navigation at the course given at the Dartmouth Club. One or two wise-cracking '25ers have been heard to murmur, "Heaven help the poor sailors the night Davis is navigating."

They aint much happened here sence the last riting. I hearn myself saying on the phone just now, "Yew tell yore secatary to phone my secatary on Munday to remind her to remind me I got a speaking date for yew on Tuesday." Guess we simple country boys can put on airs like them New Yorkers, even if we do wear Bean's hunting boots to the awfice.

Irving Emerson Rogers, president of the Eagle-Tribune Publishing Company and President of Radio Station WLAW, both of Lawrence, Mass., was born in Lawrence on August 20, 1902. He attended Phillips Academy at Andover, Mass., (1921) and was a member of the class of 1925 at Dartmouth College. In preparation for his newspaper endeavor, he later took a special course at the School of Journalism at the University of Wisconsin.

At the completion of his education, he became an associate to his father, the late Alexander H. Rogers, who served as publisher of two daily newspapers, The Lawrence Daily Eagle (morning), and TheEvening Tribune (afternoon), succeeding to the positions as president and publisher upon the death of his father on August 20, 1942. This closed a noted career covering 52 years of newspaper enterprise.

Irving Rogers is the third of four generations which have been identified with the publication of the Eagle and Tribune, the other three representatives being his grandfather, the late Barnett Rogers, of Andover, Mass.; his father, the late Alexander H. Rogers, of Lawrence, Mass.; and his three sons, Irving Emerson Jr., born June 20, 1929; Allan Buttrick, born June 9, 1931; and Alexander H. Rogers II, born March 15, 1935. The latter three are connected with the organization as stock-holders.

Mr. Rogers is a director of the Lawrence Cooperative bank; trustee of the Broadway Savings bank; incorporator of the Essex Savings bank; director of the Lawrence Morris Plan bank; director of the Lawrence Young men's Christian association; past president of the Lawrence Y's Men Club; director of the Salvation Army; past noble grand of Lawrence lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows; chairman of Public Information, Region 4, Massachusetts Committee on Public Safety; chairman of Public Information of Region 5, United States Treasury Victory Drive committee; member of the Massachusetts Broadcasters' association; and member of the advisory board of the Massachusetts Committee on Public Safety.

On June 16, 1928, at Andover, Mass., he was married to Martha B. Buttrick, and the family residence is at 15 Bradstreet Road, North Andover, Mass.

On May 23, 1939, Mr. Rogers personally supervised and directed the exclusive radio broadcast from the actual grave of the United States Submarine Squalus which sank off Portsmouth, N. H., with a loss of 26 lives. The WLAW radio "scoop" attracted national attention at the time, and the station, with Mr. Rogers as its guiding head, attracted much favorable comment in press and radio circles because of the outstanding achievement. Mr. Rogers has been General Manager of WLAW, "The Voice of the Columbia Broadcasting System in Northern New England," since its opening in 1937.
