Jake Lovejoy, who sent in a snapshot, writes, "You will note one Muggsy Emerson loading up on a plate with ice cream and cake, stuffing it away; while Doctor Allison and barrister Morris and a few others look on." And he adds, "It sure was good to see Old Swede Needham, Hal Halsted, DutchIrwin and all the rest. Am already looking forward to our 45th. May they all be back."
Ann, daughter of Warren and Marian Agry, was married to James J. Darling on Tuesday, December 4, in Chicago, 111. They are to live at 191 East Walton St., Chicago.
The following news item is from Helen Troy: "I have had a full summer, with the early part a motor trip through Europe and then from August until now a visit to the Orient. I was with friends who lived in Tokyo, then we all went to Hong Kong five weeks. It was interesting to be in the Orient at this time for it certainly is the hot spot of the world and to see Japan close at hand in its transitional position. I am more convinced than ever that ours is the way of life that is best for the world and I surely hope that we are able to hang on to it."
A letter from Mac Rollins says,
"I've just come back from a Dartmouth lunch at the Princeton Club and I am afraid that the Princeton gentlemen are somewhat annoyed with their guests, wondering what kind of snakes they've been harboring. . . . No news, nothing happened, dunno anything of importance; but if you chance to take a look at the Wall Street Journal stock exchange page on Fridays, you'll see a little out of the ordinary bit of advertising that is getting a pretty good reception."
I looked but didn't find anything I could print in the Class column, which reminds me that I am much in the same situation as Mac is—no news and nothing happening. How about sending a little note or two or a picture to liven up this column just a bit. I'm still waiting for snapshots from our last reunion of some of you guys. I would like to see a picture of that 191 ler lined up with his 11 grandchildren all at one time.
The list of 191 lers that have been retiring in the past few years has increased to a point where a goodly number of them, either because of poverty, affluence, state of health, or perhaps all three, have seen fit to retire from their former and regular businesses into complete or semi-retirement. Perhaps some of you may be improperly on this list and possibly there are others who should have been included, but this is about what the record shows. Let's review it.
There's Paul Ayer, who has been living iii Egypt, Mass., ever since his very serious injury in an automobile accident a number of years ago.
Paul Briggs gave up the poultry and other marketing produce business to retire to Winchester, Mass. Vail Applegate for a number of years has been enjoying the life of retirement in Upper Montclair. Gabe Campbell now spends his winters in Plainfield, N. J„ near his children, and his summers in Milton, Vt. DocCarroll has settled down in one of the Orangesin New Jersey. Dick Chase retired with the rank of colonel from the U. S. Army and is now in Mississippi. Jim Conroy may not be called actively retired as he still is interested in the Arcade Iron Cos. in Everett, Mass.
Slim Eaton is enjoying the mountains in Staunton, Va. Seth Emerson has returned to his native town of Nashua, N. H. Gabe Farrell, recently resigned as director of the Perkins Institute, is busying himself in connection with the Episcopal Seminary in Cambridge, Mass. Eben Holden, since he left the Standard Oil Co. in Shanghai, of which he was a resident for so long, has taken up residence in Portland, Me. Pat Hurley has gone back to Lancaster, N. H., with the retirement privileges of a colonel in the U. S. Army. RupLuey a number of years ago had to give up because of ill health and is now living in Millers Falls, Mass.
Although Jim Malley has not been engaged in the manufacture of shoes directly for some years, he has, neverthless, been a long way from becoming fully retired. He has been extremely active in the matters of state, particul arly with regard to taxation. His plan for taxation, which was proposed for the last Legislature, was one of the most interesting suggested cures for the tax problems of New Hampshire.
Shorty Mayo is enjoying Cape Cod, although he gets back frequently to sit in on business sessions of his old company, in which he ran the ice cream end of the Hood Milk Co. LeoMuhlfelder, for a number of years because of illness, has had to retire from his business in Albany, N. Y. Ray Nead has gone to North Carolina, where he is enjoying real retirement. Larry Odlin, likewise, has retired from one of the United States military services; namely, as a captain of the Navy.
John Randall has given up his active practice in Staten Island and now calls Putney, Vt., his real home. At least he spends his summers there. His son Richard was married to Mable Malloy, September 9, 1950. Guy Steeves down in Marydel, Md., is actually engaged in raising chickens and farm produce. Satan Sanderson now calls Palm Beach his real home, although he spends his summers in his old home town of Pittsfield, N. H. Satan says he's definitely out of politics, but still is raising some cattle.
Captain Tindall, another retired Navy man, spends half the year at Fish Creek, Wis., and the other half in Winter Haven, Fla. You may have heard from Floyd, who would be glad to send you a box of fruit or other delicacies, for which he is agent in Florida.
Bryant Turner, still in Phoenix, Ariz., has been retired because of disability from the United States service for about ten years. RileyYoung long ago gave up his active engineering practice and has been residing in Littleton, N. H., ever since.
There are a number of classmates whom we never see and from whom we seldom hear and among them are a number of non-graduates, concerning whom there has been no word for a long time. We dofl't even know whether they are all living or not. The names I give you herewith, also the information as to what their last address was. If any classmates know of any of these men, it would be greatly appreciated if you would just drop a line to the secretary. Here they are:
Jack Barry, who last known was barbering in Lawrence, Mass. Rolfe Bond, with no address. John Carroll, his last address being Manchester, Conn. William Downey and Ludwig Eggers, neither with any present address. John Emerson, Haverhill, Mass. Fred Golde, Springfield, Va. Then there's Charles Hale with no address. McGregor Hamilton, was last heard from in South Boston. Walter Harriman was running a garage in Colebrook, N. H., when last heard from.
John R. Hayes is without address. Nothing has been heard from Bowler Johnson for a long while, his latest address being Brookline. Leon McLaughlin, another without any address.
Jack Marks was reported to have been in Joplin, Mo. Howard Morton's address has become lost, as also that of Bill Noyes and BillPlant. Bob Shackford, known to us in College as Bob Smith, was last heard from in Mexico. Clarence Stone, who is reported to have been in Tulsa, Okla., seems a difficult man to get in contact with and nothing has been heard from him for a good many years.
Any information that can be turned up about these men will be gratefully received.
