1938
The world of finance and banking has seen fit to recognize the talents of several '38ers. Fred Baker is now a vice president of the Irving Trust Company in New York City. Fred has been with the bank since '46 and lives in Garden City, L. I. Lew Harriman was given the title of vice president by the Manufacturers & Traders Trust Co. in Buffalo, N. Y. Lew's field is investments. Phil Sutherland has been named assistant vice president in the deposit and loan administration division of the National City Bank of Cleveland. Prior to joining National City in '56, Phil was treasurer of the Tyson Bearing Corp. in Massilon, Ohio.
Paul McLaughlin is another who now carries the title of assistant vice president. The Rhode Island Mutual elected him to that post. "McDoog" was also one of the founders and first president of the Casualty Insurance Underwriters Association of Providence.
Don Clarke of Summit Farms, Hopkinton, N. H., sent in the following letter:
This is my first try at a report in twenty years. Thought you might be interested in the doings of some of our classmates. John Nassikas is practicing law in Manchester, a member of Wiggin, Nourie, Sundeen, Nassikas & Pingree, and is the father of three girls 14, 11, and 4. Bob Cataldo enjoys a private medical practice in Waltham, Mass., and is Medical Director of Brandeis University as well as an assistant clinical professor of medicine at Tufts. Rollie Linscott has started his own textile business, the R. W. Linscott Co., Inc. at 40 Worth Street, N. Y. Leighton "Gunner" Tuck reports same wife, same home, same job and sons, 10 and 3. Home is in Pasadena, Calif., and works at the California Bank in Los Angeles. Durward "Here" Brandis lives in Redwood City, Calif., has two sons and works for United Airlines. Fred Becker with the law office of Fisher and Underwood in Babylon, N. Y., reports a boy, 11 and a girl, 6.

As for myself, I've chosen the saltmine of dairy farming here in Hopkinton. Have a herd of 25 Guernseys in the barn, and a herd of two in the house, Donald, 11 and Leslie Jeanne, 10.
Jerry Bly is running for reelection as Representative from his district to the Massachusetts Legislature on the Republican ticket. He has been a House member for ten years and is also a member of the Massachusetts Atomic Energy Commission. Jerry is considered an expert on educational matters and has served as chairman of the House Committee on Education. He was the bipartisan choice to be the Legislative delegate to the White House Conference on Education. His knowledge of educational matters no doubt springs from his career as a teacher at Saugus High School.
Don Guy's work as a newspaper reporter and Associated Press editor has enabled him to be an eyewitness at many outstanding events. He was present at the under-fourminute mile race between Bannister and Landy, he was the only newsman aboard the Texas Tower when the hurricane hit it, and this past year was at Antarctica and saw the first airplane landing at the South Pole. We were glad to hear that he was able to stop off in New Zealand, the Fiji Islands and Hawaii on the way home to warm up a bit after the ice and snow of Antarctica. Don lives in Belmont, Mass., and is editor of the AP office in Boston.
The new sales manager of the Athol Division of the Union Twist Drill Company is Norman H. Holland. Norm has been with the company since '48 starting as a sales representative in Connecticut. For the past two years he has been the Chicago District manager.
Wellington Wales, according to a story in The Knickerbocker Press of Albany, N. Y., is resigning as director of state publicity for the New York State Department of Commerce after the November elections to go into a boat leasing business in the Virgin Islands. Duke was quoted as saying he made the decision to fulfill "my lifelong ambition." terprise will be located about forty miles from Puerto Rico and will involve the leasing of charter boats for fishing purposes. In addition Duke will collect marine specimens which will be flown by refrigerated airplane to the Charles Pfizer Company laboratories in Brooklyn for cancer research work. Before taking the New York State job in 1957, Duke was managing editor of Woman's Day Magazine. There are probably many among us who would like to be doing just what the Duke is, but even though we won't it will be nice to know we have a classmate down in those ever-becoming more popular islands and we will look him up and expect him to give us the right steer for the best fishing grounds when we are in the vicinity.
Another from our amazing class who has left the States for a time is Telfer Mook. Tel was appointed regional secretary for India and Ceylon of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions of the Congregational Christian Churches and left in June for an eighteen-month familiarization tour of India and Ceylon to prepare for his new post. Tel, a lawyer as well as a minister, will observe the denomination's mission work in hospitals, schools, colleges, churches, and agricultural extension programs throughout the area. He will also study economic and social conditions and become acquainted with government officials. His wife, Jane, and their four children went with him and the children will attend school in India. Besides the job Tel will do for his church he can't help but make a lasting impression on the Ceylonese and Indians of what personifies a fine American. When he returns in a little over a year from now, Tel will have his headquarters in Boston.
Hope some of you will take a moment to drop us a line about yourselves and the classmates you see so we can have some news to fill this column.
