Boston newspapers of July 6 carried a speaking likeness of Matt with the caption, "Matthew W. Bullock, attorney and chairman of the Massachusetts Parole Board, has been appointed to the campaign council of the Greater Boston United War Fund by Michael T. Kelleher, chairman. The early October campaign will raise funds for three hundred Red Feather service agencies." Matt accepts the accruing demands on good citizenship by his state and community in the same modest and efficient manner that has marked his progress since we first enjoyed his disarming smile and his enthusiasm for clean sport and clean living in the fall of 1900.

Once more the monologue, "Getting the Dough," with its pleasing blending of the characters of Shylock and Santa Claus, impersonated by the master mind of Charles Irving Squid Lampee, has given us so much satisfaction in a three months' exchange of class news that the accomplishing of new records in 1904 support of the Alumni Fund becomes a by-product, magnified by his sincerity of purpose to a figure that will give every member of the class a rosy glow of appreciation. Here's to Squid!

The Five-Class Reunion on May 11 was the last reunion group to enjoy the presence of Charlie Whelan '01 and Lafayette Chamberlain '05, both of whom were fatally stricken during the following two weeks. They were two grand companions, each with such a merry twinkle in his eye that invited and cherished good friendship. My first contact, and that's the word, with Charlie was during the fall of our freshman year in the football squad. He was a very helpful upperclass guide to a bunch of 1904 rookies, some fifty of us, gathered from America's prep schools, for Wife Jennings and later in the season good old "Mac" to play chess with. Chamby's happy smile and French Canadian patois quickly earned deserved popularity with all classes. We have been fortunate in enjoying the 45 years of their friendship.

At the regular June meeting of the board of directors of the Hooker Electrochemical Company, E. R. Bartlett, formerly executive vice-president, was elected president. The company's main plant is in Niagara Falls, where the head office had been located since it was transferred from New York in 1939. The company has another important plant located at Tacoma, Washington, which began operations in 1929. For three years after grad- uating from college, Ned was in the employ of the American Light and Traction Company in New York City. He then joined the Development and Funding. Company, which later became the Hooker Electrochemical Company, moving to Niagara Falls at that time. He has held various positions in the organization and was elected vice-president and works manager in 1935 at which time he also became a director of the company. He was made executive vice-president in 1941, from which position he was promoted to president. Ned is chairman of the Advisory Board of Airport Commissioners of the City of Niagara Falls and has been head of the Industrial War Bond committee which has supervision over the War Loan drives, including the 7th War Loan which has recently closed.
