1937
It looks as though a few more 1937 meetings are in the offing. Tom Reck wants all within reach of 806 So. Henderson St., Ft. Worth Texas, to get in touch with him regarding a meeting there. That invitation takes in a 500mile radius at least, as Texas distance is judged. Tom and Margot are a long way from Hanover and Northampton but Tom confesses to a touch of nostalgia now and again. His business activities at present center around the Globe Aircraft Corp., and the "Swift". Call or write Tom at either of these addresses and he'll arrange all the details Al Bryant, the first moving resident manager of Binney & Smith Cos., Boston, has plans for an early meeting of Boston '37ers. He'll be in touch with all who live in the Boston areas as soon as plans are definite. Whitey Fuller has promised to come down to the get-together, and it ought to be a good take-in for fellows from Worcester like Al Mclntyre, and Jake Newton, also those south of Boston, Ralph Griffiths, of Providence, or Pat Patterson of Edgewood, R. I. Get in touch with AI Bryant at 641 Park Square Bldg., or at his home, 87 Webb St., Weymouth 88, Mass., or call Jack Devlin, Lex 1015 W.DonMcKinley would like anybody near Denver, Colo., to call him at 902 Midland Bldg., and he'll arrange a meeting Those in New York, lower Connecticut, Philadelphia,or New Jersey are missing something if they pass up the joint '37-'38 party at the Dartmouth Club in N.Y.C. every other month. Get in touch with Carl Ray at Underwood, Elliot Fisher in N.Y.C., for details. Mutt's home is in Pawling, N.Y. These get-togethers are held every other month and are well attended We still need to hear from somebody in Washington, D.C., Detroit, Chicago, or Los Angeles. With a big Tenth Reunion coming up in another year, we need suggestions as to a good Reunion chairman. A nominating committee to pick a slate of officers for the next five-year period is also necessary. Besides renewing acquaintanceships in these local gatherings, let's pass on some suggestions on these matters to the secretary.
Turning to news it appears that Ben Cardozo and his wife spent some time in Hanover early in March. While there, they ran into Bill Mauran on his periodic trip to Hanover, as well as Will Brown and Pete McLane, both of whom spent a few days at the Hanover Inn. .... Ced Jaggard was recently installed as minister of the Valley Stream Presbyterian Church at Valley Stream, N.Y. He went to Valley Stream from an assistant pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia. Harty Beardsly went to New Lebanon, N.Y., early in March to help Bob Aylward and Margaret Fayerweather tie the knot securely.

He reports powder snow at 9,000 feet Les Hoyle writes from A. P. o. 331 San Francisco that he wants to hear from Wally Fisher.
It appears that Les is, with the Red Cross at Naha, Okinawa, and wants to contact Wally who was in the Pacific. Our last address for VVally was Excelsior, Mich Art Guyer is as full of stories as usual. As an ambulance driver in India, Art visited the native Prince of Yyrabad, who had banned Americans from his land because of the activities of correspondents. Art told of seeing a 1915 Ford truck standing in the court yard loaded with gold but abandoned because it had four flats. .... Ham Mathes just returned from more than two years overseas, Italy, France, Germany and Austria. He's back at 7 Lovett Place in Lynn, and until things get started Ham won't feel right. It isn't too easy starting from scratch again, but Ham with his wife and small son are in there punching, and there's bound to be a couple of breaks soon Cy Shepard's father writes that Cy is still overseas and is stationed at Addack Fred Forsch expressed complete satisfaction with all the discomforts that civilian life could throw at him after returning from overseas duty Gordon Wise will be home in time for his daughter's first birthday according to a note from his wife. Southampton, R. 1., will look good after a long period in the Pacific. .... Bob Swing's father writes from Olean, N.Y., that Bob is now Chief Instructor in Airways Traffic Control in the school in Sao Paulo, Brazil, which is maintained by the American and Brazilian governments. He's learned to speak the Portuguese language fluently and is quite happy in his work. A quite formal card tells us that G. Gardner Cook announces the opening of an office for the practice of law at 401 Main St., Fitchburg, Mass., associated with Messrs. Robbins, Dudley and Shattuck. Ralph Griffiths is in with a note that he had lunch with Fred Castle and Park Johnson in Chicago recently.
Park who was just out of the Navy is going to work for Marsh & McLennan, the same outfit Fred is associated with GeorgeSkinner managed to get a house at 9 Gilmore St., Everett, but is having trouble getting a '46 car, a telephone, and a few other modern conveniences he's anxious to try out. He made off with a Bronze Star for his work as Supply Officer at Hollandia. His youngster had to get to know his Dad, but most of the introductions are well out of the way now.
Let's improve the 1937 showing in the Alumni Fund and give Mort Berkowitz plenty of early support for the fine efforts and energy he is putting into the present Fund drive. Also let's have some snapshots and news items for these Class Notes.
IN THE PHILIPPINES, Lester S. Hoyle '37, formerly of the Army, is now serving the armed forces as American Red Cross assistant field director.
