The secretary is now so well that, as in his boyhood, eating does not seem to take away much of his appetite. He is grateful to Biff and Billie for carrying on his work while he was laid up. The 'B6 "News Letters" edited by Biff are a joy to us all. Also he will soon pass around to all of us in '86 a letter with pictures which he has received from our long silent classmate, Dr. Edgar B. Philbrook, whose home is at 157 California Street, Santa Cruz, California.

Burley's son, Robert, his wife and three children called on the secretary Sunday, April 2. As an engineer he is doing important war work with the Bendix Company near Montclair.

Spud has recently attended the fiftieth anniversary of the Hudson, N. H., Library of which he has been a trustee since it was founded.

On March 16, Newton was toastmaster at a meeting of Dartmouth men in Winter Park, Florida, to celebrate the 175 th anniversary of Dartmouth College.

On March 24, Newton, as a present member and secretary for the first three years, also attended the Tenth Birthday Party of the University Club of Winter Park, Florida. This Club started with a membership of only 27 but now has over 400 members from 131 institutions of learning.

Mrs. Leslie P. Snow spent the winter at home in Rochester, N. H., chiefly to look after local interests, since her son Conrad was away from home attending to military duties at the Pentagon Building in Washington, while living in Arlington. His oldest daughter Constance is taking the Skidmore course in nursing at the New York Post Graduate Hospital. Katherine, his younger daughter, enlisted for farm work last summer and will enter college in the fall. Leslie Jr. finds his work as one of the vice presidents of the Chase National Bank in New York extremely heavy these days. His oldest daughter now stays in Richmond, Va., where her husband, Douglas Blue, is training a battalion for war service. Thus the grandsons and granddaughters of the class are absorbed in our mighty war effort, and giving a good account of themselves.

Secretary, 215 Walnut Street, Montclair, N. J.
