Roy Hatch, our new class agent, has a hill named after him, Hatch's Hill, Princeton, Mass.; and also what he calls a "homebrew" golf course with individual printed score cards. I sort of feel that anyone who accepts the job of class agent of 1902 ought to have a mountain range in his name.

Roy resigned from State Teacher's College at Montclair, N. J., in 1943, but is busy revising editions of books he has written in geography and history for Allyn and Bacon. Also he travels far and wide, North Dakota, Oregon, California, Oklahoma, etc., lecturing to teachers.

Achille Fontaine, who only spent one year with us at Hanover, writes me a nice letter from the Adjutant General Depot in Baltimore. He has been in the regular Army since 1907 and has spent two years in the Philippine Islands and three years in the Canal Zone. His only child, a son, is a radio man in the Air Force. Achille, says: "l think lam growing old ralher gracefully, that is I do not consider myself a crab." I hope all of us can keep away from that crab stage. It always makes me think of "Cancer the Crab" in the signs of the Zodiac.

Bob Harding writes me that there will be another reunion of the five classes, 1900-1905, which includes us of '02, on May 11, 1945, probably at Schrafft's in Boston, so all New England members please underline that date.
