1942

Thank you one and all for the classy season's greetings - very thoughtful of you. Early January is a poor time for organizing thought patterns. This has been proven too often. So be solicitous of the writer as you peruse the following rather helter-skelter approach to reporting recent noteworthy activities of the brethren.

Several campus cronies are newsmakers around the nation: Neil Barber has been named a senior buyer in the corporate purchasing department of the Hooker Chemical Corporation, at Niagara Falls, N. Y. Neil has been associated with the company since graduation; most of his activities have been in sales. Paul Vaitses Jr. was unopposed for a second term as mayor of Melrose, Mass. He has held elective offices in Melrose for a dozen years and in his present capacity faces the challenge of several major problems confronting the city at the present time. Rollie Tremble has been named vice president, finance, and treasurer of the General Railway Signal Corp., whose major manufacturing facility is located here in Rochester, N. Y. A telephone call there resulted in the information that Rollie will be located at the corporate offices in New York City. He was previously controller of Consolidated Electronics Industries, Inc. Sheriff Bill Parmer, retiring president of the alumni clubs association, spoke at the fall meeting of the association in Hanover. Bill is assistant to the superintendent of schools in Tenafly, N. J. His subject was "Education as a Means of National Progress." A letter this week from roommate Jack Roseboom indicates he has moved to a position with Management Technology Inc. in Washington, D. C. His son David is making application for next autumn's freshman class at the college.

Other items of interest: Hugh Corrigan, who is a sales engineer for Hi Speed Check Weigher Corp. of Ithaca, N. Y., was a candidate for a four-year councilmanic term in the town of Dry den. Hugh served with the Marines in the Pacific theatre during World War 11. The Corrigans have four children. Ed Hawkridge was a candidate for re-election as a school board member in Newton, Mass., in the fall. Ed served as a naval gunnery officer, also in the Pacific. He is president and a director of Hawkridge Brothers Company, a metals distributing firm. He and Edith have five children and still find time to be active in community affairs. Bob Williams was a delegate of the College at the inauguration of Arleigh B. Templeton as president of Sam Houston State Teachers College in April, 1965, at Huntsville, Texas. Dr. Dick Lawton has been appointed manager of the bioastronautics section of the Manned Orbiting Laboratory Department of General Electric Company's Missile and Space Division in Valley Forge, Penna. Dick joined General Electric in 1958. He received his M.D. degree from Cornell University Medical College. He taught physiology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and has made a career in aviation and space medicine. He and Barbara have two daughters.

Dex Richards reports that all systems are GO in the 25th Reunion countdown. My five teenagers are primed to set sail for the Hanover plain and the excitement they expect to be a part of. Will they meet your youngsters there?
