1915

The Boston Traveler of July 28 carried a picture of four members of the Arlington Housing authority turning over the first soil lor a veterans' housing project during the Massachusetts American Legion convention there. In the center of the picture, bow tie and all, leaning on his spade in true W.P.A. fashion, was the Chairman, our own DaleBarker.

Congratulations are in order for Duke Sullivan, who celebrates 30 years of teaching at the High School of Commerce in Boston.

Casey Jones led the Anah Temple Band of Bangor, Me. in the big Shrine parade in Boston last August. Reports have it that it was the outstanding band in the line of march. Casey refuses to say how many pounds he lost in the 97 degree heat. During the parade, four different bands played his composition "Hot Sands." Of even greater thrill to Casey was the first appearance of the United States Marine Band on television, playing his "At the Circus," the first novelty band number ever to be played over television. The Bangor Daily Commercial of Sept. 3 carried a twocolumn spread on Casey's musical activities, headed by a picture of the famous composer at the piano, pounding out new arrangements,

From a newspaper clipping we learn that even after death Greg Lyon's love for his home town, Marblehead, Mass. was expressed in his will, where he bequeathed $20,000 to be used for construction of a public library. He died in the midst of the town's celebration of its Tercentenary. As Norm Milmore so aptly stated:—"His family may well take comfort, his friends satisfaction, in that Greg did much in his day to maintain the town's tradition and its place as a leader. Few men are privileged to leave a task at the peak of a triumph."

Chuck Ingram writes:—"l certainly plan on attending the Class Reunion in Hanover next Spring. This last summer I spent two months with my family in Europe and had a most enjoyable time. Soon after my return I had the pleasure of a visit from John Loomis and his wife and daughter. This is the first member of the class I have seen for a long time and his visit was most welcome and pleasant."

A most welcome letter from Ralph Sawyer who writes:

"This summer I had leave of absence from my job as Dean of the Graduate School and spent nearly two months with a Committee set up by the Scientific Advisory Board of the Air Force to advise the Air Force on Program and Policy for their Research and Development activities. The Air Force placed at our disposal one of their special mission planes of the type which figure occasionally in Congressional investigations. Our plane, however, was somewhat less elegant than the Sacred Cow and I doubt that our activities will merit any investigation. We spent about three weeks studying Research and Development activities in Washington and at a number of Air Force and Navy Stations scattered from Florida to California. The highlights of this junket were the cocktail and dinner parties which were invariably tendered us by the Commanding Officers of each station. We then settled down for three weeks in Santa Monica, Calif., and escaped the heat wave which prevailed in the mid-west and east while we hammered out a report. The experience was an interesting one and it will have been a worth-while one, too, if it results in an improvement in the Research and Development activities of the Air Force.

"My daughter, Rosalind, graduated at Oberlin College a year ago, and I had the pleasure of handing her a sheepskin last June when she completed her Master's Degree in Economics here. She is now working as an Economic Analyst at Ford International in New York. My son, George, is finishing up his Ph.D. in Physics here and I hope to hand him a sheepskin next June. This gesture will complete the education of my family and I hope it will not interfere with my attending the reunion at Hanover next June. My congratulations to 1915 on its performance in the last few years on the Alumni Fund Drive."

Richard Sleeper Russell '49, son of our late classmate Ray Russell, was married on Sept. 17 to Miss Jane Luce, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Luce, 59 Granville Ave., Worcester, Mass.

The University of Rochester's Management Clinics, "a cooperative endeavor in the strengthening of a free society," for junior business and industrial executives, wound up its first year recently with a conference called "the Area of Business Leadership." Among the 250 business leaders present was Beardsley Ruml. Leader of a discussion panel at the conference, Beardsley said:—"A businessman must be prepared to act successfully on three levels—the local business level, the trade or business association level and the community or public level. The field is growing for men who will serve as trustees of the public interest working with the background and the experience they have acquired as businessmen."
