1930

This is the first o£ several years when your Secretary has not been personally on hand to witness the activities of the new college year, the fall foliage in and around Hanover, the opening football games and all of the other many attractions of Hanover in September and October. Usually, with "malice aforethought," our vacation is planned for this time of year and Hanover is the center of operations. Notwithstanding that our vacation this year involved a trip with the family out West in late June and July, the McFarlands are sorely regretting their absence from the fall scene in Hanover. Vic andCeil Borella have the right idea,—they attend the football games in Hanover and then enjoy their beautiful farm which is "just down the road a piece."

Speaking of Hanover also reminds many of us who were at the Twentieth Reunion of "The Keenes"—Bob and Louise Keene's beautiful place on Dogford Road in Etna. A telephone call brought me up to date on their "doings" of this last summer. Apparently no matter how long the days there is more work to be done than available hours on a farm. Principal attention has been given, however, to the construction of a much longer ski tow which starts at the roadside and goes well above the old grove of pines near the opening at the top of Lord's Hill where the grand view begins. In addition, a whole network of runs have been provided to keep skiers from the boredom of the same tracks all day long. Not incidentally, Bob and Louise are planning a ski school for children during the week between Christmas and New Year's. Bob has found that his photographic work has increased substantially and is occasioned in large part, no doubt, by the fact that Boston and New York clients like the idea of consulting with Bob up in the country, with the opportunity of enjoying it all on an expense account.

Si and Margot Chandler vacationed in late September in and around Plymouth. We regretted not seeing them in Boston but they very wisely concentrated on a strict course of rest and vacation away from the city and its traffic Fred Scribner's life is a busy one with the combination of his law practice and his duties as treasurer of Bates Mfg. Cos. One or the other has kept him on the move between Portland, New York, Boston and Chicago during these fall months A recent list of address changes supplies that of his parents in Madison, Wis., for Phil Dakin, with the notation that Phil is studying in Italy for a second year. This is more of a mystery than in the line of news, so far as your Secretary is concerned, but perhaps someone will supply further information to complete the story.

Belatedly we record the news which was in The New York Times a few months ago to the effect that Pete Callaway had been appointed Advertising Manager of Fortune. This appointment means that Pete is now in New York City although he is living in Westport, Conn. He had previously been with TimeFortune and was Automotive Manager for Fortune in Detroit prior to this most recent appointment. Unfortunately Pete was laid up with pneumonia for more than five weeks during August and September but we are glad to report that he made a complete recovery and is now back on the new job "Dean"Wiggin continues in the political arena of New Hampshire. An advertisement in one of the New Hampshire newspapers was addressed to the voters of Senatorial District 16 of Manchester and indicated that a vote for Dean at the Primaries would be appreciated. The New Hampshire barrister was Speaker in the 1947 session of the New Hampshire House of Representatives and was majority party leader during two sessions of the New Hampshire House of Representatives Tom Dunnington continues his active life in Dover, N. H.. where he is serving on the School Board and his wife Mary was elected President of the Board of the Dover Children's Home.

"Eric" Birmingham, who should be addressed as "Doctor" in view of his Ph.D. from Columbia in 1935, gave an address to the Convention of New York State Science Teachers in Schenectady during August on the subject of the "Chemistry and Physics of Pigments." Eric is a recognized leader in his field. Since 1935 he has been associated with the Imperial Paper and Color Corporation and he is a past national councilor of the American Chemical Society. Merely the reporting of it gets way beyond your Secretary, but it is understood that Eric's principal interests have been in the physical chemistry of pigments, particularly in regard to the organic field of dyes and intermediates.

A welcome note from Treasurer CharlieRaymond had reference not only to class dues but also to some of the events of the summer. It appears that while Bud and Celie French were vacationing at Sakonnet they planned a get-together with the Bowlens and Raymonds. Apparently it was difficult to prevent Bud and Dick from talking shop, to wit, the Class Memorial and Alumni Funds, but Charlie and Celie retaliated with Cub Scout talk. Celie has long been a den mother of fame in Montclair and Charlie has a Cub Pack of 85 boys. During their vacation the Raymonds drove over to Granby, Conn., and spent the day with Bob and Helene Walker. Bob has given up the knitting business and both he and Helen are now running an antique shop on the College Highway just south of Granby which bears the sign "The Walkers." The Raymonds testify profusely to the attractiveness of the shop and we understand that the Walkers travel extensively around New England in the course of their buying. We understand that the Walkers' Bob Jr., the Raymonds' Alan, the Chandlers' Stephen and the BillFletchers' Miles, all of the ripe old age of 4, are all headed for the same class at Hanover.
