Treasurer, EDWARD R. SKINNER 34 Brighton Rd., Worcester, Mass. Lute Oaks, President of Winston Bros. Co., of Minneapolis, attended an ordnance meeting at Aberdeen, Md., early in October and then spent a few days in Washington where he was entertained at a dinner by Warren and Helen Kendall and Frank and Pearl Staley. He then went to Hanover where he and George Clark spent a few days together.

The Staleys took a two months auto tour to the Pacific coast last summer and visited their sons,—Roger in San Francisco and Jerome in Seattle. Frank is now retired but chafing for further business activity.

Warren continues to have heavy problems because of transportation conditions and had little time for more than occasional brief visits to the Kendall summer home at Kennebunk Beach. Helen spent the summer there as of yore. Warren was one of the two guest speakers at the 34th annual banquet of the New Hampshire Manufacturers Association at Manchester, N. H., October 10, the other guest speaker was, U. S. Senator Brewster of Maine. George Clark and Ernest Silver attended.

Hawley Chase gets around New England quite a bit selling school supplies and reports doing "a land office business." He recently called on Dr. Payne and Lawyer Hoban at their bailiwicks in Greenfield & Gardner.

The Beals of Bradford enjoyed meetings with three of their sons and their families during the summer. A fourth son, Malcolm, who is Registrar of the University of Miami was unable to come north with his wife and daughter. Among other visitors to the Beal home were Benny and Genevieve Benezet, Hawley and Margaret Chase, Hale and Mrs. Dearborn, George Clark, Ernest Silver and Herbert and Maud Bailey who have moved from West Springfield, Mass., to Herbert's old home town of Claremont, N. H., where he and Elmer Woodman were schoolmates.

Joe and Elsie Hobbs planned to go to Florida again the last of October to spend the winter. Their address there is 471 Gulf Boulevard, Clearwater.

Herb Rogers has been busy with USO and Greater Boston Community Chest drives.

Our class treasurer who sold his place in Shrewsbury is back in the home he and Sadie bought when they moved to Worcester in 1926.

Capitalist Lynch left October 28 to spend the months until warm spring days beckon north at the palatial Carolina Hotel at Pinehurst, N. C. He spent the summer at Osterville on Cape Cod. Two chief diversions continue to entertain him—investments and golf.

The Reverend Montie Fuller is actively about again after long confinement because of a broken hip. He was greatly cheered by many letters received from classmates while he was in the hospital.

At closing date for this column Jim Richardson was still in the hospital at Dicks House, where he has been continuously since last March.
