1911

Here starts another MAGAZINE year, whether it can be called a college year or not. This has been a dry summer in Washington, and little class news has been forthcoming, so either make up your minds to a small column each month or take a few minutes off to help fill the information basket.

The same policy of sending the MAGAZINE to all active members of the class will be continued, which means that those who have not paid their class dues should get in touch with Ed Keeler at once, to be sure that the MAGAZINE continues to come to them.

A letter from Helen Troy Keck says that Jim Troy is in a tank corps at North Camp Hood, near Temple, Texas, putting in his 13 weeks of basic training in the Infantry. He expects to specialize in G-s work and receive several months of college training. Jim finished his year at Taft and received his diploma. Helen will spend the winter at her home at 3214 Reba Drive, Houston, Texas.

The Chet Butts have rented their Newton Centre home and moved to 112 Pinkney St., Boston. It seems that Chet has always sort of had an urge to live on Beacon Hill.

Ken Clark has taken up temporary residence with Ted Stafford in Washington. Ken and Ted are both engaged temporarily with the Renegotiation Division of the Maritime Commission.

Paul J. Hurley, son of Col. and Mrs. Pat Hurley, graduated from the United States Military Academy last June, and has been commissioned in the Air Force.

Capt. Larry Odlin has been transferred. The following, taken from a Seattle newspaper, will explain the significance of the job which Larry has done:

"Celebrating the completion of all existing construction contracts at the Naval Supply Depot at Smith Cove, a group of Western Washington business leaders were taken yesterday on a tour of inspection of the 180-acre installation. "They were the guests of Capt. Lawrence Odlin, who conceived, planned and developed the.whole twelve million-dollar depot. The occasion was in the nature of a farewell for him, as he is being transferred to new duties at the end of the month.

"The visitors were taken through miles of ware- Houses, in which millions of dollars' worth of supplies are stored for forces afloat and for shore stations, throughout the Thirteenth Naval District, and they viewed all the elaborate loading facilities.

"New construction which they inspected included five two-story warehouses, each 720 by 120 feet; one one-story warehouse of the same dimensions, a four-story cold storage building with a capacity of 900,000 cubic feet, two warehouses 500 by 120 feet, and an oil and paint storage building 120 x 90 feet.

"These have all been erected since the Navy first took the Smith Cove property over from the Port of Seattle on January 1, 1942. At that time there were forty-nine civilian employes and eight officers, _ a force which_ has since been increased to 1,100 civilians and thirty-five officers.

"The visitors were impressed with the fact that the depot is not simply an emergency war measure, but that it will continue in operation permanently as the contracting and purchasing office for the Thirteenth Naval District.

"High-ranking army, navy, coast guard and marine corps officers joined the business men on the tour of inspection and at a luncheon which followed in the depot cafeteria."

Larry and his family were on their way East when he received word of his mother's death in Florida. During this change in assignment they had an opportunity to visit his old home in Lancaster, and then he was on duty in Washington for a couple of weeks, where several round-ups with other Washington classmates were held.

George Morris has just returned from an 18-day, 16,000-mile air trip to Rio de Janeiro, where he was a representative at the meeting of the Inter-American Bar Association. While there, he was in touch with Tim Vaitses, who read in the papers about his presence in Rio, by telegram, and tried to see him but could not bridge the 500 miles between them. However, he did call on Scott Perry, 1910, in Buenos Aires. George returned in time to sing his swan song as president of the American Bar Association and is now retiring to private life once more.

Our sympathy goes to Art and Log Jackson on the recent death of their father, Dr. Alton A. Jackson, the well-known practicing physician in Everett for forty four years.

An announcement has been received of the marriage of George Leach's younger son, Lindsay, now an ensign in the United States Naval Reserve, to Marion Nebel on August 21, in Chicago.

A notice of the same general type was received about Harrison Rollins, Mac's son, who married Joan Francis Hughes on July 10 in Brooklyn, N. Y. Harrison is likewise in the Naval Reserve.

Amos and Grace Crooks join in by announcing the marriage of their daughter Betty to Mr. Wendell C. Morris, in Winthrop, Mass., on August 18.

Now having become used to the wedding bells, take a deep breath and read this one. Mr. and Mrs. Elliot Seth Tucker announce the marriage of their daughter, Betridge Emmeline, to Mr. Carl Louis Stucklen, on Thursday, the twenty-second of July, nineteen hundred and forty-three, in Boston, Massachusetts. The Stucklens will be at home at 25 Chestnut St., Boston.
