1910

Congratulations to Easty on his election as President of the Minneapolis Area Council, Boy Scouts of America! Active in Scouting for the last 18 years, Easty is duplicating in the Twin City area the noteworthy work which he did as director and president of the Milwaukee area. As a matter of fact, Whitney is one of those grand fellows who, lacking a son of his. own, has devoted a goodly portion of his life to making boys into better citizens—wherever he contacts them in school, Scouting, college years.

Retiring—As the age of retirement creeps toward us, it is interesting to observe the geographical selections made in the search for escape from urban artificialities and worldly turmoil.

Earl Nelson went from Boston to Palermo, Maine..... Business tycoon, Jim Porter, sought his haven in lower rural Maryland, writing recently, "I love this country and the life here"—We are not certain about Big Businesser, Horace Eberly, but he lives his retirement in University City, Mo., which sounds attractive, as he pens, "Am just taking life easy and enjoying everything." Ned Loveland prepares for approaching retirement to a 50-cow Stowe, Vermont, farm, which has a 100year-old-house with plenty of scenery Another college professor, Malcolm Bissell who has left academic halls to buy a "ranch" in California with 10 acres of prunes, 40 peach trees, some apples, enthuses, "Have been giving the old muscles a good workout since we came here. This is the life!"

The Larry Bankarts have gone rural in Norwich, Vt.—haven't talked with him since the Harvard Game—did get a glimpse yesterday as we both were skippering in different directions along the Lebanon "by-pass."

Jim Kerley works in Washington, attends Redskin football games, plays a little golf, a little bridge, leads a simple but full life Fletch Rogers ran across Dick Carpenter in New York, and says, "He looks very well and seems to be enjoying life." Dick is still active in Williston projects, is collecting a dozen or two of the first Williston project, silk-coveredbuttons having the name "Williston" or "W. & K." on the back Walter Golde, head of Voice Dept. at Columbia, was president of New York Singing Teachers Ass'n, 1944-46. Walter, a member of A.S.C.A.P., was one of the authorized voice teachers invited by American Theatre War Service to teach privately under the G.I. Bill of Rights. Tommie Leonard, chairman of the athletic committee in Nashua High School, went to Jacksonville, Fla.j with the team; by chance met Larry Odlin's sister with whom he discussed oldtime Lancaster days.

With old-time finesse Tommie sends this for a rise from his former roommate: "I used to know a fellow by the name of Jack Ryan who was with the Travelers Insurance Cos., in Milwaukee. He has not written me recently. He was quite a jovial fellow—and while at Hanover I enjoyed his company very much."

Whether Tommie would extend that famous greeting to Jack right now is a moot question—when in the right mood during those Hanover days, Tom would enter their room, challenge his fellow athlete, "Ryan, take off your coat! You're going to get a working over!"—and after each session there would be less and less usable furniture in the room.

"Else" Jenness has submitted his final report for the Reunion, showing a net profit of $108.85, which sum he has sent to Fletch Burton, 1910's famous "Collecting Treasurer"The Reunion Committee deserves much credit for the very commendable showing, both in dollars and in pleasure to those who were in Hanover. It seems as though we had never received so many letters from Tenners unable to be there, vowing their very definite intentions of being present in 1950.

Second-Generationers: Wid Washburn is an educational specialist attached to the American Military Government Team of Toyama Prefecture. Rollie Reynolds lives up the' Delaware at Upper Black Eddy, Pa.; one of the boys, a lieutenant commander in the Navy, is now navigator for the American Overseas Airline on the N. Y.-Berlin run, the other is in the Laboratory School of the State Teachers College at Plattsburgh. Rollie has three grandchildren.

Crafts Boys Honored—The American Veterans Committee at the Univ. of New Hampshire has been named in honor of Donald and John Crafts. It was a terrific blow when these two only sons, both armored infantry captains, lost their lives in action in France and Germany within four months of each other. A large number of people have been deeply sympathetic with Ote and his family in their staggering loss.

State of the Class—Affairs seem to be going rather well in the hands of your able and working officers—Easty did his customary high class job in the Class Memorial Fund campaign just closed, adding $2,912.21 to the previous sum for a grand total of $5,705.50, now on deposit with the College.

Fletch Burton is using his painless methods of extracting $5 dues from a large number of the class who truly appreciate the work which he does, year in and year out.

Andy Scarlett started organizing for his Alumni Fund drive earlier than usual, is getting assistance from the Class executive committee and others, will really go to town this year. Last year he was terribly handicapped by his teaching assignment in the G.I. College at Biarritz.

Your secretary always needs items—and for Goodness Sake, when mentioning your sons and daughters, please give their names. Otherwise, it is impossible to identify the correct one in an item.—Who is next Tenner to retire?

A QUARTET OF "D" MEN POSED SOME THIRTY YEARS AGO and the above picture is the result of their cooperation. In order: "Boli" Sherwin 'll, Larry Bankart 'lO, Jack Ingersoll 'll and Clarke Tobin 'lO.

Secretary, G®>naan St., Canaan, N. H. Treasurer, 1 Weybosset St., Providence, R. I.
