1908

The Warren Curriers, Dick Merrills and Jim Nortons from sun-kissed California divided the honors as the folks who traveled farthest to attend the 40th reunion. The Mason Lewis family from Denver which included Mason, his wife Dorothy and his daughters, Dottie and Sallie, were awarded runner-up honors. Mason appeared for the first time in many, many years. He and his family drove to Hanover by way of Canada and then spent the month of July on Cape Cod. The Class Notes Editor and Lela thought and hoped that some of the western travelers would stop at Rockford on their return home, but they failed them. Harold A. Morey, whose home station is Nova Scotia, also attended the reunion. He may be able to prove that his mileage was greater than that of the Lewis family. If he can, the runner-up cup will be sent to him. The cup for the man who appeared to have the best time at the reunion goes to Harry Mitchell of Cleveland, who turned up also after a long, long absence. Harry has the Republican nomination for congress from his district. We are all pulling hard for him for success on November 2. All in all, the reunion was a grand success. The account of it written by Art Rotch appeared in the last number of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.

John Hinman's picture appeared on the cover of Business Week for July 10. The article in connection with it reported that a big reason for the fact that the International Paper Cos., of which John has been President since 1943, has long been a leader in efforts to sell fine forest management to the woodland owners of America, is John's leadership. It reports that his first job with the company thirty-five years ago was as woods manager of a subsidiary, that for eight years he was in charge of the company's entire timberland and woods operation, and that he carried to his present position his deep interest in the forest and the full utilization of woodlands.
