1908

Luey Amidon reports that since the closing of the DeWitt Hall Junior College he has been doing part-time work at Post Junior College, Waterbury, Conn., during the spring semester. He has been appointed vicepresident and dean of the faculty at Vernon Court Junior College - Newport, R.I.— a swank girls' school under the able leadership of Dr. Franklyn Ashley, beginning September, 1963.

Ted Barnes reports that the failure of the dam at Norwich, Conn., which resulted in death to six people and great property damage did not affect him as he lives on a hill a mile or so from the flooded area. "The water flowed in the bed of an old brook, the lower end of which had been made into a covered conduit. This could not carry the sudden surge and the water with large cakes of ice from the pond behind the dam rushed through the center of the city."

After many years' service on Cushing Academy's Board of Trustees, "Pop" Chesiey has retired with the title of Trustee Emeritus.

Stacey and Bernice Irish celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on December 26 with a family dinner arranged by their daughters at the North Shore Hotel in Evanston where they were living at the time. The Irishes are now living in their new home at 2609 Central Street, Apartment 1, Evanston, Ill.

The Treadway Chain still makes news. The Andover Inn recently celebrated the 51st anniversary of the Treadway Inns with a reception given by Richard F. Treadway '36, president of the Inns, and Mrs. Treadway. The occasion also served to introduce the new innkeeper, Glen P. Thierwechter and Mrs. Thierwechter. The Andover Inn on the campus of the famous academy became a Treadway Inn early in the 1940's.

George Squire writes: "Those interested will be surprised to know that at 76 I am to have a change of life. Early in June we hope and expect to move to a little town in the country at Bristol, Vt., where my daughter lives. We have visited there quite a bit and expect to like the life which, if nothing more, can be busier than life in an apartment. We have also made some good friends there which will add to the pleasure."

Another leaf has fallen from the old bough, the sixth this past winter. A letter from Art Lewis reports: "Mason Lewis passed away January 31. After four years of severe illness he took a quick turn for the worse and only lasted 24 hours. I know he has had nurses around the clock for four suffering years."

Further details of his activities will be found in this or next month's In Memoriam section.
