1911
The Whitefield party for June is shaping up. Here are comments from a few who are coming: Sarge Eaton writes, "Esther and I are going up. All of us have certainly had a grand time during these unofficial reunions at Whitefield, and I'm sure that if a lot of the fellows who haven't been there knew what a pleasure it was, more of them would come." Josh Clark: "Polly and I will arrive on June 16 and stay through to June 24. It's a grand invitation. Here's to many coming to the warm-up for our 40th." John Learoyd says, "Dot and I plan to go to the Mountain View House this coming June. We were unable to make it last year and plan to have twice as much fun this year to try and make up." Mac Rollins states, "Got your letter about the Whitefield reunion, and while I can't say anything positive, there's a good augury which makes me think I will be there." From Hazel Russell, "Yessir, we'll be seeing you at the opening of the Mountain View on the 16th." This was written as she and Jack were 'leaving for two weeks' vacation at Sea Island.
Word from Lin Yi Ho should be of interest. He says,
"Owing to the blockade of Shanghai by the Nationalist navy and in view of the suspension of the air lines, mails to and from foreign countries have been most uncertain and irregular, and I have no idea how long it would take for this letter to be delivered. Anyway I hope it will reach you eventually. I have indeed derived a great deal of pleasure from reading the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, and the latest issue (October, 1949) came to hand only last week. Unfortunately, I still have no knowledge of the football results this year. In the past the scores were reported immediately after the games in the local press, but this year the news agencies such as the United Press and the Associated Press have been prohibited from functioning in our country by the new regime.
"Things have changed so rapidly and radically in this part that we now have a totally different form of government and live under totally different conditions. Labor is now 'glorified' to the extreme, but intelligence is sorely needed. Prior to the take-over of Shanghai by the Communists in May last, my house, together with many others in the resident section (of Shanghai), was requisitioned by the military, and we had to move out to stay with relatives elsewhere for more than a month. It was not until early June that we moved back, and fortunately no serious damage was done to the house and contents therein.
"My daughter Julia is still in St. Paul, Minn., taking practical training in a social centre. She graduated from Hamline University with an M.A. in sociology last June."
The latest 1911 man to become a noted author is our old friend, Mac Rollins, who has recently had acceptance of an article by the Saturday Evening Post which, when he delivered it at least, had the title "Small Town Cop." This may have been published before you read this notice. Also he has become a contributor to Printer's Ink.
"Massachusetts Wins Over New Hampshire" is the headline which announced the decision of the arbitration board of which George Morris was the neutral chairman, and which was concerned with the determination of whether the inheritance tax of Mrs. Latz Anderson's estate should go to Massachusetts or New Hampshire, which tax amounted to about $400,000.
Considerable publicity in the papers was given to an address by Ernest H. Griswold, senior partner of E. H. Griswold & Company, before the members of the Merrimac Valley Chapter of the National Association of Cost Accountants. Bendy spoke on federal corporation income taxes. He is a charter member of the Boston Chapter, N.A.C.A. and is also a member of the Massachusetts Society of C. P. A.'s and the American Institute of Accountants. He was formerly a member of the executive committee of the Massachusetts Society of C. P. A.'s and is now the chairman of the tax committee of that same society. He is also a member of the tax committee of the American Institute of Accountants.
The new address of the Ray Neads, now retired, is Kanuga Road, RFD 3, Hendersonville, N. C.
Stouder Thompson is now manager of the Awning Division of the Sunshade Company, Troy, Ohio.
Frank Dodge's friends will be interested to know that the Community Baptist Church in Whitefield, in the development of which he was so interested and active, has been completed. It is especially gratifying that the memorial fund which was raised by Frank's friends was sufficient to assure the installation of the finest organ made by the Aeolian-Skinner Company. This has now been installed, and although in weekly use, will not be formally dedicated until next summer when many of the contributors to the fund will be able to be present.
Announcement by Walston, Hoffman & Goodwin, investment security firm with 24 offices from coast to coast, states that MarkAdams has become associated with them in their New York office at 35 Wall Street.
Marie Peary Stafford, Ted's wife, who is president of the International Society of Women Geographers, was the Annie Talbot Cole lecturer at Bowdoin College last month.
The front page of Tide for February 3, carried a picture of Jim Mathes in conference with other Canada Dry executives, who, on the inside pages, explained how the company had revamped its marketing and advertising and doubled its distribution base.
The Hanover Gazette of March 2 announces the marriage on February 25 of FredHarris to Miss Helen M. Choate, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Choate of Greenville, Mich. Marriage took place in the Women's League Chapel of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Mrs. Harris has been director of recreation at the Brattleboro Retreat for the past two years. She is a graduate of Michigan State Teachers College and Northwestern University where she did graduate work in music. She was with the American Red Cross in the South Pacific as hospital recreation director and also served three years as recreation director for the American Red Cross at the Percy Jones General Hospital in Battle Creek, Mich.
