1947

The March doldrums have really set in and the news is sparse. It is still difficult to understand how almost 600 classmates can maintain a distaste for letting their fellow man know of their activities, a vice responsible for this shortened column.

Tom Leggat, Vice President of R. M. Bradley Co., Realtors, has just been appointed to the Board of Commissioners of School Buildings in Boston. Tom received his law degree from Harvard in 1953 and is a member of both the New Hampshire and Massachusetts Bar Associations. It looks very much as if Tom is on his way to challenging the whole Kennedy clan.

John Gugich has just been made the Credit Sales Manager for the Consolidated Rock Product Company in sunny Los Angeles, Calif. John, after serving as a communications officer in the Pacific Fleet in W W II, worked with Devoe & Reynolds before becoming the Credit Manager of Cutter Laboratories which he leaves for this new job.

Our 10th year roster compiler, Alan Hall, recently gave a talk at the Parents' Club of Concord, N. H., on the "New Hampshire Council for Better Schools," a subject with which he is quite familiar having been a teacher at St. Paul's for many years. Since we know that Al took a year's sabbatical recently to obtain world-wide education, we would be delighted to hear from him to report on some of the experiences he garnered on his tour.

Have just read a lengthy article in a trade magazine concerning the Ansonia Mills Corporation in Taunton, Mass. Since New England as a whole is thought of as a depressed area for the textile business, it was refreshing to read of Ansonia enjoying a 20% annual growth pattern. Its president is '47's own Dave Squire. The article emphasized the young management team which has kept this company prospering and for which Dave certainly should be congratulated. The only point of contention we could find was Dave's age which was listed at 35 meaning that he graduated from college some time between the ages of 19 and 20. Although acknowledging his brilliance, this does seem a little hard to take since it would mean that he started formal schooling at the age of three. Dave, if you really are 35 we would like to devote another column on just how this educational advancement is attained.

Your Executive Committee will be holding its first meeting since the reunion at about the time you are reading this. We should have a report on it either in the Squaw-ker or this column in the near future.

Yes, that's all there is so please let's hear from you.
