1930
First off, congratulations are in order to Dick Bowlen and his assistant class agents for the superlative job which they did for 1930 in this last Alumni Fund campaign. Dick will protest in the loudest of terms that 1930's outstanding results are attributable to the thoughtfulness, concern and generosity of the individual members of the Class and to his hard-working assistants, but all of us well know of the tremendous amount of time and thought which Dick gave to his job this last year and he may be sure that he has the individual and collective thanks of those of 1930.
Judge Frank McLaughlin received a significant honor when, upon invitation of the presiding Justice, he was assigned to sit with the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco at a session of hearings during the month of July. Frank thus became the first Hawaiian jurist to sit on the Federal Appellate bench as a substitute or otherwise. The assignment also included an invitation toFrank to speak before the annual judicial conference of Federal judges in San Francisco during the last part of July. There is no doubt but that an unprecedented honor had been received by Frank, which all of us will agree was well warranted "Lin" Savage, Assistant Vice President of the New England Trust Company in Boston, was elected President of the Boston Security Analysts Society at its fourth annual meeting held in Boston on June 2. With so much talk about "security" these days, Lin hastens to point out that the Society's membership is composed of professionals who analyze securities In this same general field, Hughie Johnson spoke to a group of women in Syracuse this last spring, his topic being "A Word to the Wives."

Loeb, Rhoades & Cos.
An inquiry into the activities of Blair Wood this past June failed to produce an extended account but did elicit the information that he was a Republican candidate for County Attorney. Those who knew Woody well will appreciate that, without his saying so, the county involved was Black Hawk County, lowa, of which Waterloo is the county seat.
.... Anyone traveling along Route 27 between Sudbury and Maynard, Mass., should stop at the sign indicating the Redcote School. This represents the new home of Shorty and BettyReaves and the school is Betty's new venture. Shorty continues with the Clearwater Laundry in Boston but will undoubtedly find himself involved in extracurricular activities in connection with the new school Unconfirmed word reached us to the effect that Al McGrath was joining Hopalong Cassidy Enterprises. If only 1930 were holding a reunion this next June!

The recordings of vital statistics were unusually numerous during the summer months. On June 25 Ed Weinstein was proudly announcing the arrival of his first child, Lucy Emerson.
