1914

Again it is my sad duty to report the death of two more classmates: Alex Tuck died March 18 in Geneva, Switzerland, after a long illness, and Eddie Bowler died March 21, in North-ampton, Mass., also having been ill for a long time. More of these in the In Memnriam section. You should also know that Marion Naramore's mother died, at age 87, in Lake Worth, Fla. Our sympathy is extended to the families.

From the New Rochelle (N. Y.) StandardStar, we learn that Jim Heenehan has retired from the law firm of Sullivan, Donovan, Heenehan and Hanrahan, and also from active practice. He was one of the founders of this firm. He will now have time to sharpen up on his golf.

The New York Herald Tribune carries the news that we now have another Admiral in our class. Sig Larmon was appointed to this rank in the Great Navy of the State of Nebraska by the special appointment of Governor Victor Anderson.

Among the many activities of Treasurer Batchelder, both in class and civic areas, is the presidency of The Society for the Conservation of Men Over Forty. This organization carries on a program of regular medical examinations and preventive steps and is jointly sponsored by the American Cancer Society, Mass., Norfolk County Heart Association, Norfolk County Tuberculosis & Health Association, and the Quincy Health Department.

A release from Washington announces the appointment of Lay Little as deputy assistant director for personnel of the U.S. Information Agency. He will be responsible for personnel operations of the Agency employing more than 9000 persons of varying nationalities, in the United States and 79 other countries. You will recall that Lay is the only American to head the Chinese Customs Service in the 100 years of its existence. Since resigning from that position in 1950 he has been adviser to the Chinese Ministry of Finance in Formosa, and has been active in surveys of the Tapanese Customs Administration and the Philippines Customs Administration.

Dick Barlow breaks into print again with an enthusiastic letter of the class dinner held in New York, about which Jess Stillman wrote last month. He ends up with the remark that "the 1914 men who are living in the vicinity of New York are certainly missing a lot of good times by not attending these dinners." Like so many others Dick does not say what he is doing, but the envelope containing his letter carried the name of a real estate company, which leads to the suspicion that he may have retired from duPont but is now active in other fields.

From the Winchester Star via Marge Nichols comes the news that 2nd Lt. Kevin Sullivan, USAF, was married on March 26 to Virginia Wilson Darling of Eggertsville, N. Y. Kev will be remembered by attendants at Snobird parties and is the son of our well-remembered Sully.

Barron's Weekly had a recent article on the Northeastern Steel Company. This is JackConners' new affiliation in Bridgeport, Conn.

At the kick-off dinner for the Alumni Fund (Boston Division), 1914 was represented by J. Gregg, Class Agent, and his assistants, Buckley, New mark and Perkins. This is a reminder that the Alumni Fund campaign is on and vou should not delay in your response. The quicker you contribute, the less the expense, and the greater the net return to the College.
