1936

As one of our classmates goes deeper into political life another withdraws. Joe Millimet, president of the New Hampshire Bar Association, has been named legislative counsel for the 1963 session of the General Court by Governor John W. King. Chet Young, who is a veteran School Committeeman in Scituate, has announced he will not seek re-election to the office he has held for nine years.

John Proctor has been named assistant director of administration for The MITRE Corp. of Bedford, Mass. MITRE is an independent nonprofit system engineering corporation formed in 1958 to provide technical advice and support to government scientific agencies. John joined MITRE that year as technical services director after work in MlT's Digital Computer Laboratory from 1947 to 1953 and as a group leader in administration and services in the computer division of MlT's Lincoln Laboratory for the next five years. John with his wife and two children lives in Egypt, Mass.

From New York we learn that Ed Brooks has been elected executive vice president of Columbian Carbon Company. He joined Columbian in 1955 and prior to his recent promotion was vice president in charge of its carbon black and pigment division. Bill Niss, vice president, treasurer and director of Bath Iron Works, Bath, Me., has been elected a director of the First National Bank of Portland.

Interesting note came in from Dick Allen who writes of his activity as a programmer for an electronic computer for the National Life Insurance Company, "Before the computer got entirely busy all the time, I wrote a program to compute the date of Easter. I was introduced into the mysteries of the measurement of time in the mathematics department by Professor Bancroft Brown, and was particularly intrigued by the fluctuation of the date of Easter. The computer listed the date of Easter from 1583 to 3999 A.D. A summary of the results was printed in the September, 1962, issue of Computer and Automation and also in the October, 1962, issue of Recreational Mathe- matics Magazine.

"Being interested in odd and unusual past events I wrote the story of a pond which ran away in Glover, Vt., in 1810. This appeared in the mid-winter, 1963, issue of the Rural Vermonter, a new magazine published in East Thetford, Vt."
