The class was shocked by the sad news of the passing of Charles F. Eichenauer on September 26, 1945, one of its leading members both as an undergraduate and graduate. A full report is given in the In Memoriam column of this issue.

Reverend Percy Chandler Ladd has resigned as Minister of the College Street Congregational Church in Burlington, Vermont, after a long and successful pastorate in that historic church. His resignation is a source of great regret to the members of the church and parish.

Word has been received about Howard Dwight Billman, now principal of the Tennant, California, High School. Howard went to California in 1908 and taught for two years in a private school for boys near Oakland. He married a Southern girl from Alabama and moved with her to Montgomery, Ala., and taught for a year in Montgomery High School. He lost his wife and child in 1912. He later went to Chicago and took his Master's Degree at the University of Chicago. He returned to California and taught in Downing, Santa Barbara and Oakland. He was principal at Geyserville for eight years and for three years at Eureka. From 1934 to 1940 he was Educational Adviser in the C.C.C.

He remarried in 1924 and has two daughters, Geraldine, who has completed two years in Santa Rosa Junior College and will enter the University of California, and Anna Mae, who is a senior at Sebastopol High School.

In 1936 Howard married an Oregon girl who holds the M.A. Degree from the University of Oregon. Mrs. Billman had been recreational director of the Y.W.C.A. in Sacramento. They have twin boys, aged eight, and a son aged six. Howard and Mrs. Billman are now teaching in the Tennant High School. Howard sends best wishes to all the '05 men, which are reciprocated by his classmates who will be pleased to learn the Billman saga.

Roy Parkinson has taken into the Boston office of his personnel advisory service Gilbert Hutchinson Tapley 'l6. Mr. Tapley, a graduate of Tuck School and its secretary for ten years, has been during the War one of the top executives in New England for TrainingWithin-Jndustry of the War Manpower Commission. This position gave him opportunity to get in close touch with many New England manufacturers.

Mr. Tapley will make a valuable addition to Roy Parkinson's large and growing organi- zation.

Secretary and Treasurer, 14 Holt St., Concord, N. H.
