1904

Back to the routine of a News Column once again. You have been fairly well informed of Class doings by Squid's newsy letters of April 30, and June 24. Every member of the Class is proud, I'm sure, of the splendid job Squid has done again for the Alumni Fund. His letter of June 24 gave an account of the sard Class reunion. All had a good time.

Two members of 1904 have passed on. Charlie Leddy - May 9 and Ira Willard June 24. Their obituaries will be found in the memorial section of this issue of the magazine.

Charlie came to the class from Holy Cross our freshman year, in the 2nd semester. Your Secretary has at hand a letter written to him by George Scales. I wish every man in the Class could read it - it's the story about a valiant, generous soul - Charlie Leddy. Charlie only came back to one reunion. His life was one of consecrated service to others

Ira Willard, living in Keene, often returned to Class round ups; a railway mail clerk and postal official, he devoted his life to the welfare of the men in the postal service.

The ashes of Louis Leverone were brought to Hanover June 25, and scattered in the Vale of Tempe. Mrs. Leverone and Tiff's sisters were present and the Class was represented by Sid and Pen.

Shortly after his return from our reunion in June, Edge fell through some planking in a building he was inspecting. He broke a few ribs and injured his leg. The granite of New Hampshire is in his veins and he is back on the job.

Mrs. Morey Lockwood is President of the Washington State Federation of Women's Clubs - A busy woman devoted to Safety and Civil Defense - as a member of the women's Advisory Committee, which meets in Washington, D. C. - an appointment which she received from the Governor of her State.

Letter from Ida and Ike - both OK - spent part of the summer in their New Hampshire summer home.

Nice note from Ada Fellows with the announcement of the marriage of her daughter Ada Cary to Donald Raymond Reich, June 19 - in New Britain, Conn. Our congratulations to the couple. We remember John with real affection.

These 50th Wedding Anniversaries keep coming right along. The Fletchers had a wonderful celebration in their new home on Lookout Mountain, way down South, on June 19, and shortly — on September 10 — Mose and lola Withey, and on September 29 Charlie and Gertrude Davis will be celebrating their 50th. Where love and trust abound, there you find happiness. We send to them our best wishes for health, comfort and cheer.

One of the best loved men in the Class was our good classmate, Gilman Moulton, of York Harbor, Me. On August 3 The York Village Corporation voted to name the Village park - The "Gilman L. Moulton Park" —in memory of Gil, who during his life time had done so much, not only for the York Harbor section of the town, but for the entire town, which was very dear to him. The plaque was unveded by his two granddaughters, Mellissa and Betsy Ropke. Our congratulations to the Moulton family.

Tom Streeter ran across an item of interest to the Class which refers to an honor, which came to our modest Robbie, while with Ginn and Company — way back in 1922, when Robbie was elected President of the Society of Printers.

Bruce and Mrs. Sanborn have spent some time in their summer home in Lenox, Mass., and have enjoyed the Boston Symphony Orchestra Concerts at Tanglewood. Bruce called on the Secretary at his office in Pittsfield.

Charlie Tubbs sent Beck an envelope; en- closed was a blank yellow card only. Was it for a subscription or blackmail? I'm still looking for a message, Charlie.

The 53rd round up of the Class comes FridaY night, Oct. 35, the night before the Harvard game in Boston, probably at the Algonquin Club. Paste this date in your hat - details will come to you in due time.

The daughter of our one-time class mate, Horace Nelson, the Indian of Old Town, Me., was recently honored with a Ph.D. degree from Columbia, the first such honor to ever come to that tribe. Our congratulations to the family.

Secretary, too North St., Pittsfield, Mass.
