The Florida '07 Club gets bigger and better every year!

A trustee of Rockford College, Karl C. Williams '23, writes that the college is still receiving donations to the James Agard Bartlett Memorial Fund. Our classmate was a trustee and a treasurer of that institution for many years.

The Class of '07 was represented at the annual dinner of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Boston on February 8 by Smart,Sanborn, Grebenstein, Stevens, Kitching, Liscomb and McLane.

"Bishop" and Mrs. Niles are reported to have enjoyed a vacation in Florida during February.

Herb and Mrs. Hinman have been vacationing at the Fort Harrison Hotel, Clearwater, Fla. Herb says that his business associates still let him "have an office and read the unimportant mail."

Donald and Mrs. Houghton live in Mason, N. H., though their address is R.F.D. #2, Greenville, N. H. Don was chairman of the Atlas Tack Corporation until his retirement in 1954. As noted above, they attended the Dartmouth picnic at the Florida home of ArtWinslow in February. We hope the Houghtons will join '07 gatherings in Hanover, too.

The death of Walter Andrews on February 2 came without warning to his family. His wife Helen writes that their last two years, following Walter's retirement and their moving to the small Connecticut village of Scotland, had been wonderful, and that they were full of the joy of living. His close friend TodPlummer, who had visited "Swipes" recently, says that he had retained his alert mind, his vivid imagination and his ebullient spirits, characteristics which will long live in the memories of his friends and classmates. The sympathies of the Class of '07 are extended to Walter's wife Helen; to Joan, his daughter; and to his brothers.

Prof. Arthur Bourne went to the University of Massachusetts for graduate work in Entomology and Botany in 1908 and 1909. In 1910, after some work in the Department of Agriculture in Washington, he returned to the University of Massachusetts and has served there as instructor, assistant professor and since 1930 as research professor in Entomology. He will retire in October. One of his major interests has been pest control. In 1941 he was instrumental in establishing the Eastern Regional Conference of Pest Control Operators, and has been chairman of that Conference for sixteen years. At a meeting of the Conference in February, its members anticipated Arthur's prospective retirement and made the gathering an occasion for honoring his many years of service to the Pest Control Conference and to the University. The Class of '07 extends congratulations to Arthur and Mrs. Bourne, too.
