1912

Apparently those classmates who go into retirement nevertheless remain extremely active in other callings. You will remember that some years ago Hal Fuller retired from business to live at Hancock, N. H. Almost immediately he became interested in the development of Monadnock Community Hospital at Peterborough, and was active in its management. He has been Administrator of that hospital for some time. At the annual meeting of the New Hampshire Hospital Association, held at Wolfeboro on June 13, he was elected president of that Association for the coming year.

Likewise Henry Viets, who retired last June and became "emeritus" from the faculty of Harvard Medical School, is, nevertheless, continuing his very active role in the medical field. For a number of years he has been a member of the medical committee on research for the prevention and treatment of after-effects of poliomyelitis of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis; chairman of the Council on Scientific Assembly of the American Medical Association; lecturer on neurology and historical and cultural medicine of the University of Texas Medical Branch; and member of the Board of Consultation of the Massachusetts General Hospital. In October he was the principal speaker at a meeting of the National Muscular Dystrophy Research Foundation at Liberty, Texas. At the organization meeting of the Friends of the Armed Forces Medical Library at Washington, D. C., on October 24, he was elected chairman of that organization, the successor body to the Association of Honorary Consultants to the Army Medical Library, Inc. After that meeting he journeyed to Chicago for a meeting of the American Medical Association.

From Lyme Armes comes the sad news of the death of Taylor Weil on October 19 at Faulkner Hospital, West Roxbury, Mass., from a heart attack suffered September 25. In making a reply for him to Lyme Armes' postal notice of the pre-Harvard game dinner, Mrs. Weil told Lyme of Taylor's heart attack and hospitalization. On Monday, October 20, Lyme telephoned the hospital hoping he might either speak to Taylor or at least leave a message for him on behalf of the Class, when he was told of Taylor's death the preceding morning. Services at his church on October 22 were attended by classmates Lyme Armes,Eddie Luitwieler and Ray Cabot. All of us who attended our 40th Reunion last June will remember the dignity and solemnity of the ceremony in memory of our departed classmates that Taylor conducted in Rollins Chapel. If my memory serves me right, our Class Memorial Services have been conducted in recent years either by Taylor Weil or AndyAnderson and now within the last year and a half they have both passed away, from the same affliction. The deepest sympathy of the Class is extended to Mrs. Weil and her family.

The final score on the record of the Class of 1912 for the 1952 Alumni Fund Campaign shows that Eddie Luitwieler, as a one-man coast-to-coast Alumni Fund Chairman, raised 100% of the Class objective with contributions over the $9000 mark, and had a class objective and a participation index of 93% as compared with the average of all classes of 82%. Thus, our Class stood 27th in participation percentage and 30th in percentage of objective among the 68 alumni classes. Eddie was one of the top six class agents whose classes upped their score over 1951. Hats off to Eddie

- and a bow to you classmates who supported him! Too bad that a few more did not join in.

Attention is again directed to the list of Reunion pictures taken by Ben Hunt and Lyme Amies enumerated in the October 8th issue of The Billboard, that can be obtained from M. W. Sampson, 35 Scollay Square, Boston, Mass., at 20 cents each for a postal size enlargement. In all, 42 such photos are available and I certainly am sending in my order. Look over the list again and see which ones you are particularly interested in.

Belatedly comes the explanation of why Harry Trapp was not at Reunion: "Will you please express to our reuning classmates my regrets at not being present at Reunion. My dear wife Florence died on May 15, and I am far from feeling in a reuning spirit. At any time any of the Class are in or around Laconia, or passing through, I would be most happy to see any of them." Harry has the sincere sympathy of every classmate in his bereavement.

Bishop Brown, director of the Bureau of Research for Retail Training at the University of Pittsburgh, has been appointed by Pennsylvania's Governor Fine to the Pennsylvania State Council of Education.

Biggest of all the "Harvard Night Before" Class roundups burst into song Friday evening, October 24th, at which thirteen 1912 classmates joined the larger and smaller delegations of classes with which we shared our days on the Hanover campus '09 through '15. It was a grand melee of good talk and familiar campus faces for an hour or two, then dinner in one of the University Club's major salons. Around the 1912 table were Ray Cabot,Fletcher Clerk, Gardy Bullard and Gardy Jr., Eddie Luitwieler, Charlie Gateley, QueechieFrench, Henry Van Dyne (who came all the way from Troy, Penn., and can't understand why so many nearby Twelvers pass up this traditional pee-rade), Ben Adams, Mort Kyle,Caesar Young, Mike Norton and Lyme Armes. Lyme and Chris Armes and Henry Van Dyne were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Budd Schell '11, at a pre-game luncheon on Saturday, at Joseph's Dartmouth Street restaurant.
