1936

Cliff Porter believes that if a classmate ever goes to New York no one ever knows about it. I sometimes feel the same way about Washington. However, there seems to be a fair chance the situation may change so far as our National Capital is concerned. Maybe class members in Washington will be seeing more of Dick Treadway. He has been nominated as Massachusetts' member of the Republican National Committee. We know the Committee meets in Washington, also there is a Treadway Inn in Annapolis so one way or another we should see Dick.

In response to pleas for news Dick Morton came through with this, as he puts it, "little item which ,may be newsworthy":

"Caught an early commuter train to New York the other morning. Had to change at Stamford and had a real rassle to get what appeared to be the only remaining seat in the car. The conductor came by shortly and I cast a first glance at my seatmate. . . . The man was, no kiddin', Bill Shaw, still recognizable after 26 years.

"Bill has very recently left Genesco in Tennessee to do the same work for Milville Shoe in New York, namely head up personnel relations. He had been on the new job but two weeks when I met him. He's renting temporarily in Darien, Conn. The family will join forces just as soon as disposition is made of the Tennessee real estate."

It was a genuine pleasure to receive the report of our class treasurer, Jim Stephens. We do fairly well as a class in paying dues, 64% of living graduates and 36% of living non-graduates swelling the coffers. We rank just behind 1937 and 1938 in our percentages. Our major expense is the 100% plan under which the ALUMNI MAGAZINE is sent to all classmates, graduates, and non-graduates, with the exception of 19 men who have made it clear they don't want it. We also send the MAGAZINE to widows of classmates. Cost of this item last year was $1,641.00.

Al Flouton recently was welcomed to membership in the 25-Year Club of the Compton Advertising Agency of which he is executive vice president and George Young has been commended by his colleagues on the Scituate, Mass., School Committee for his services as acting superintendent of schools.

Last summer A. Heaton Underbill, director of the New Jersey Division of Fish and Game, joined the "new frontier" in Washington as assistant director of the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, Interior Department.

More on the educational scene: Bob Eaton has been named dean of men at Nicholson College of Business Administration, Dudley, Mass., while Dick Knight, associate professor at Northeastern University, has been appointed a member of the Massachnsetts Society of Certified Public Accountants, Inc.

Another accolade has come to Lou Benezet, president of Colorado College, Colorado Springs, Colo. He has received the Silver Spur Award of the Pike's Peak or Bust Association for outstanding community service.
