1904

Squid's appearance at the masthead is a promise that with the 1948 Fund Campaign there will be another enjoyable series of '0 ■news bulletins; that there will be a good response for the Tucker Fund and the Hopkins Center Project; and that there may develop in the exchange of news through Lampee's Clearing House, a definite pattern for our 45th reunion in '49.

King Woodbridge was elected Chairman of the Executive Committee of Dictaphone Corp., in early October. Many of the Class will remember that King was an organizer and first vice-president of the Company. Accompanying this notice in The New York Herald Tribune of Oct. 17, is an excellent likeness of King, whom we hope to see in person at some of our Boston gatherings. Don't forget that you are a New Englander, King.

Last June (16th), Tom Streeter wrote a delightful letter telling us why he couldn't join our annual '04 gathering in Hanover June 21:

"I am sorry that I can't make the 1904 party at Hanover the end of this week, for this coming Saturday I am marrying off my daughter Lil, and naturally Pa must be around for that occasion to escort her up the aisle in his cutaway, acquired especially for the occasion. I couldn't get into the one I had for my own wedding, by nearly a mile. Lil is marrying a fine young man, Gerald Brinton Lucas Jr. by name. He comes from Unionville, Chester County, Pa., was a graduate of the University. of Pennsylvania, Class of '37, and got to be a great friend of my son Frank, when they were serving together in the Navy in the war. Jerry travels in the South for the college textbooks and the like, published by Harper & Bros. Unlike Sidand Louise Rollins, who have specialized in girls, and must know all that there is to know about weddings, this is our first and only experience, and I am learning so much that it seems almost too bad that we can't give another wedding in the next year or so."

More next month.Jack Nolan died suddenly December 11.Charlie Tubbs, who was fortunate to be withhim at St. Peters Church, Springfield, duringmost of World War I, assisted in the serviceson the occasion of Mrs. Nolan's death andalso at the services in Portland, Maine, forJack. We are indebted to Charlie for the appraisal of Jack's life work in two of New England's chief cities, Portland, Maine, andSpringfield, Mass., in the In Memoriam section of this MAGAZINE. News and editorialitems in Springfield papers, memorial servicesby the Kiwanians .... "of ready wit, he loved human fellowship and his 'happiest day of my life' with which he playfully featured his every Kiwanian speech became, and is, a club tradition."

All these give silent endorsement to the following letter:

"Well, Dave, good old Jack Nolan is gone: literally worn out serving others. If ever there was a man loved, respected, and revered by a whole city, and deserved it, it was Jack. He was affectionately known by everyone here, as Father Nolan. What a perfect life!

"There were a few of us in 1904 who had the rare privilege of long, close, association with beloved Jack. And I use the word, beloved, advisedly and deliberately, because we had an admiration and affection for him which rarely exists outside of one's own immediate family.

"Ask the boys of the 104 th Regiment, whose Chaplain he was; ask the members of the Kiwanis Club, whose president he was; ask his associates and teachers in our public schools during the long period he served on our School Board, and then ask those thousands who knew him in his Church work and City Missionary work, and in every case the answer will be the same: 'Father John alwayswas just what we in our better moments would like to be.'

"How well I remember and miss the many yesterdays when Jack would rush into my office with: 'Chic, Mrs. Smith is in trouble, we've got to help her.' And we did.

"Just as President William Jewett Tucker put the stamp of his unexcelled character on the many men of Dartmouth during his term and our time, just so Jack Nolan put the impress of his sterling character on all the people who fortunately came in contact with him. We were doubly fortunate, weren't we, Dave?

"With great reverence for our departed Classmate .... Chic Weston."

Jack was a brief visitor at Hanover Inn June 12, 1947, a week before our last reunion.

Do you remember the second floor room on the northeast corner of Reed Hall, when Davis and Fellows lived there? The long dark hallway to the door irritated John till he had constructed through the agency of sprocketssprings-pulleys-weights and strings a mecha- nism with an instrument board on the head of his bed so that the door, some thirty-freet distant, opened and closed at the will of the inventor. Do you know that our "inventor" designed and developed electric annealing equipment which has since become standard as furnished by G. E. and Westinghouse under Stanley Works patents? Do you know he also designed, developed and patented several long machines for continuous pickling of hot rolled steel?

The writer would make the point here that he has learned, as most of you are now learning, facts in the lifework and successes of these two modest. Classmates Fellows and Nolan, too late for even a brief word of approval and appreciation. What can we do about it? There's so little time.
