All class secretaries, at one time or another, reach a point where they are just fresh out of enough news for this column,—news being letters from all of you, or post cards, or anything that will be of interest to the class. This happens1 to be one of those times—so let it be a lesson to you and give out with what you are doing, or your sons or daughters, grandchildren, at al.
The number one man in the class this month is Ralph B. Welsh, recently elected President of the Morris County Savings Bank, of Morristown, N. J. After graduation, Ralph spent five years as a statistician with the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. of New Haven before entering the commercial banking field in 1924 with the Citizens Trust Co. of Summit, N. J. He resigned as treasurer and director to join the Morris County Savings Bank staff in 1937. Ralph has been executive vice-president of the bank for the last three years. Congratulations, Ralph, and best wishes for your continued success.
Echoes of the Detroit Pow-Wow—Staff Hudson writes that, "With every effort to be fair, I am convinced that 1919 had the best, class representation here at the Pow-Wow You can well realize that it was an event for Phil (Watson) and me (the only '19ers in the Detroit area) to have that gang here.";
Jack Reilly, writing on the stationery of the Courier-Citizen Co., Lowell, Mass., notes that he is serving on the Dartmouth Admissions Committee in Massachusetts,—another '19er serving the College, which is facing the most difficult period in its long history—a period during which it will require the help of every man who went to Dartmouth.
Rock and Alice Earle Haye's son Ronny has been performing well on the Tabor Academy (Mass.) football team and Rock has hopes that he can at least make the squad at Hanover. The last time your Sec. saw the young gentleman, he certainly looked like a great prospect for Johnny del Isola, Tuss McLaughry's able line coach.
Jack and Doris Ross, writing from Portland, Ore., note that they "Just finished reading the ALUMNI MAGAZINE about all the meetings in connection with the football games. Sorry we couldn't be a part of them (so are all of us who were so fortunate as to be on hand) and thanks for the birthday card."
One of our representatives in the legal profession, Bob Proctor, of Choate, Hall and Stuart in Boston, sent a nice note acknowledging his annual greetings from the class, and states, "I do not know how others feel about this custom, but I think it is a very warming thing to receive this message."
December visitors at the Inn included Maurice and Mrs. Hall of Marshfield Hills, Mass., and Herb Fleming of Melrose.
A note from Red (J. L.) Murphy of Baldwinsville, Mass., was much appreciated, as Red hasn't checked in for some time. He also likes the birthday remembrance he gets from the class.
Remember—drop the secretary a line, but soon, on what goes with you, and any '19ers you run across.
