Never has a month seemed to fly by so quickly, and it seems no time at all since the notes for the current issue of the MAGAZINE were due and had to be rushed in a hurry to Hanover to catch the deadline.

This month marks the loss of a most devoted classmate—Gov Jordan—a full account of whose death appears in In Memoriam. Gov will be greatly missed by us, and we mourn with his wife, sister and brother, and his fellow citizens of Keene, New Hampshire, where he had lived almost since graduation.

A fine letter from Kel Rose gives us the names of those he saw—he may have missed a few, he says—from the class at the New York Alumni dinner on March 18. Here they are: Kel (of course), Bill Huntress (now in New York), Herb Widman, Ray Perry, Bob Fredericks, Fred Child, Carl Gish, Johnny Mullin, Phil Murdock, John Healy, Pete Cannon, and, the only 'lger in uniform, Lieut. Pop Byers USN.

Kel also tells me that Bob Frothingham is out of the hospital and recovering rapidly from an operation.

Just after I had mailed the April copy, I had a swell letter from Stan Llewellyn from Spartanburg, S. C., where Stan is one of the big textile men of that locality, and he wants to be remembered to all, and to let each of us know that the latch string is out for any '15er going that way in the Southland. Stan highly recommends reading, as a cure for the blues, our 25th Reunion book, After 25 Years. Stan did just that just after he filed his income tax return, and spent into the wee-sma' hours going over the names and pictures of us of 1915. And, says Stan, he's convinced that there isn't a better looking class out of or in College, and furthermore, that they haven't changed too much over the passage of the years. Letters like that from Stan are most welcome, and I only wish that the topsy-turvy lives we are all living today could get back to normal so that we could hear from more of the class.

It's fine to note, in a memo from the College office that John Harriman has been promoted to a captain in the Navy. John has made the Navy his life's work, and the rank of captain is something to talk about. Congratulations and all the luck in the world to a swell guy and an old Sanbornite of freshman year.

Chan Foster, our efficient treasurer, has moved his Boston office from 31 Milk Street to 31 State Street, Boston—same number, but note the change in street, so that when you mail your check for your class dues, it will land in the right place. (No charge to Chan for this advt.)

Other changes in address are: Major Russell B. Livermore, 522 sth Ave., New York City; Frank C. Ekstrom, 51 Windsor Ave., Upper Darby, Pa.

Last Saturday, the Secretaries around New York met in New York; next Saturday, the 10th, the New England group meets in Boston. This is being done this year because of transportation difficulties, eliminating the Hanover meeting. Haven't heard from New York as yet, but will have the story of both meetings for you next time. Chan, Shrimp and I expect to be at the Boston meeting—the three meetings are being combined into one for secretaries, treasurers and class agents.
