1907

PLAN NOW FOR '07's FIFTIETH IN '57. Bill Smart speaks for all who attended '07's informal reunion last June when he writes: "We had a wonderful time in Hanover. Weather was perfect, bright sunshine and cool nights." Those present were: Bill and Mrs.Smart, George and Mrs. Grebenstein, Tim andMrs. Richards, Bob and Mrs. Kenyan, Bishopand Mrs. Niles, Bill Sanborn and friend, George and Mrs. Liscomb, Albert Stevens, DonWilliams, Bill Ahem, Joe Coburn, HaroldOliphant, Nat Davis, Dick Southgate, and Herb Hinman and his brother.

Waldo Pickett, formerly a resident of Portsmouth, N. H., now makes his home in Newcastle, N. H., which he describes as a "sleepy island town." Pick retired three years ago, celebrated his 70th birthday last May, and is finding plenty to keep him occupied. His older son Robert returned early this year from Korea, having served on the U.S.S. Missouri. David has completed his sophomore year at the University of New Hampshire, and daughter Mary has finished her freshman year at Keene (N. H.) Teachers College.

Charlie Richardson reported last May that, after 43 years of active railroading and three years representing railroads on the staff of the State (Ill.) Director of Civil Defense, he was packing his auto to seek new scenery and activities. Giving a temporary address in Orlando, Fla., Charlie proposed to explore Florida and its summer climate and perhaps locate in that state. More about Charlie later.

Donald Houghton lives in Greenville, N. H., and is chairman and president of Atlas Tack Corporation. Formerly a resident of the Boston area, he was associated with the United Shoe Machinery Corporation from 1919 to 1946. Since he was forced to leave Hanover in 1904, his associations with '07 have been limited.

Clarence Ellsworth is another classmate whose contacts with his classmates have been few. He has been associated with the U. S. Geological Survey in Austin, Texas, for many years until his recent retirement.

Ted Glattfeld writes that he has retired twice, once from the University of Chicago, Department of Chemistry, in 1948, and once from the Argonne National Laboratory in January 1954. However, he isn't wholly retired, since he became a consultant to Argonne on half-time last February, a status which he hopes to hold at least until 1955.

Jimmy Bartlett to us, Agard to his hometown friends, has recently completed twenty years' service as trustee and eighteen years as treasurer of Rockford College, in Rockford, Ill. He has resigned as treasurer but will continue as trustee. In recognition of his devoted service, the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters was conferred on him last June, and a most complimentary editorial in the Rockford Star paid further tribute to our classmate. His '07 friends will want Jimmy to know that they are very proud of him, and hope that he will guard his health, which has been impaired recently, so that he may continue to serve his community for many years.

Orlando Davis reports from his retirement home in West Medway, Mass., that his health is reasonably good and that he is already looking forward to '07's Fiftieth.

That was wonderful support you gave to Dartmouth and to Alumni Fund Agent, PhilChase. Isn't there great satisfaction in being able to help, however modestly, such a worthwhile instrument as Dartmouth College?

A recent issue of the Manchester (N. H.) Union shows a picture of two men who have served their state long, faithfully and efficiently. One of them is former Governor Huntley Spaulding and the other our friend and classmate, Bill Ahem. Bill has 45 years of state service to his credit, a record said to be unequaled by any other state employee.
