We regret to report the passing of two more well-loved classmates in June of this year.

Lester C. Greenwood, known to us as "Elsie," died June 24 at his home in South Portland, Me., after a short illness with cancer.

Chester Melville passed away at his home in Chestnut Hill, Mass., after a severe heart attack. "Chet" and his wife Bertha were widely known for their collection of over 30,000' marine shells, which, according to the terms of his will, are to be given to some educational institution or museum. He left the bulk of his estate to his wife Bertha with small bequests to others. More complete details of the record of each will be found in the "In Memoriam" section of this or a subsequent issue.
