1925

Speaking of pictures, it is reported that the colored movies Deak Blodgett made at Reunion are extremely good.

From Brice Disque, we have several more welcome items:

Jamer Guernsey, complete with the big cigar and big Buick he had at our' delayed Reunion, is back at his fabulous dealings in Florida real estate. Jamer should win a high place in any voting for Class Optimist.

Ed Hewitt still lives in Elizabeth, N. J., with his ever-loving-wife Julie and two offspring. Ed has had a great deal to do with the successful sales curve of the electrical appliance firm of Thomas and Betts, whose war record was tops.

Frank Shea has hung up his legal shingle in Washington, D. C, after service as assistant to Justice Jackson at the Nuremberg trials. Frank's firm is McKenny, Flannery and Craighill. With the Government he was Assistant Attorney General. Recently, Frank gave an off-the-record talk to 1925 men at a class dinner at the Dartmouth Club in New York.

Hal Rider has been elected President of the Stamford (Conn.) Trust C. He joined the bank as its trust officer in 1932 and a short time later was elected to a vice presidency. After graduation, he entered the City Bank and Trust Co. of Hartford where he was an assistant vice president until his appointment as a trust officer of The Stamford Trust Co.

Hal and Mary Rider have three sons. He is vice president of the Stamford Hospital, former president of the Community Chest, and vice president of the Underwriters Building Co. of New York. He is a member of the Woodway Country Club of Stamford and the Dartmouth Club of New York.

Another new bank president is Henry L."Speed" Fleet of the Mattituck (Long Island) National Bank and Trust Company. At the age of 42, he is the youngest bank president in this section. Speed has been with the institution since his graduation in 1925. He is also a partner in the Fleet Lumber Co., of Greenport.

A note from Nate Bugbee says: "I have been chasing Pete Blodgett for the last month trying to find out the cost of the Reunion beer, and up to date I have been unsuccessful in getting this information. Pete has been running from one banker's convention to another."

Incidentally, remember to send Nate Bugbee, 49 Federal St., Boston, a check for $5 to cover the year's subscription to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE and part of the cost of our forthcoming 25th Year Book.

Barney Barnfather is now assistant professorof Spanish in the Mass. State College at FortDevens. He returned to this country last Aprilfrom Belgium, where he served with theservice unit of the U. S. Merchant Marine.

From Parker Merrow who as if you didn'tknow lives in Center Ossippee, N. H., comesa raft of notes which are gratefully clutched toour bosom:

Coming to Massachusetts to see their daughter in Mt. Holyoke College, the Dr. Ed Obers of Painted Post, N. Y., spent a pleasant Sunday with the Joe.Leavitts. Ed had his mind set on a good shore dinner so the Leavitts loaded the Obers and drove them down to the famous old Union Oyster House in Boston and filled them with the best of sea food.

Larry Leavitt observed Parent's Day over the October 12th weekend at Vermont Academy. An in formal 1925 Reunion was held as Frank Wallis spoke to the large gathering of parents and students on the Nuremberg Trials. Lou Kimball was there to visit a nephew and Park Merrotv to see his son. The beloved John Dallas, Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire, conducted the Chapel service. Win Preswtt, Stoneham, Mass., fuel dealer, is shopping for a summer cottage site in the Ossippee, New Hampshire, area.

Ty Werner, industrial chemist for the big S. D. Warren paper plant at Cumberland Mills, Maine just outside of Portland has built a fine home. On the stable-garage there is a cupola. On the cupola is a weather vane. The weather vane is, yep, you guessed, a perfect scale reproduction of the vane on Baker Library. Ty says he gets a nice little kick when he sees it against a winter sunset.

Line Davis journeyed to Ossippee while the fall foliage was at its height to shoot Kodachrome with Park Merrow. This makes twenty-five years the two ex-Bema photographers have made pictures together.
