1925

A year or so ago Win Prescott sold his oil business in Stoneham, Mass., and retired to Delray Beach, Fla., where George Zahm also holds forth during the winter months. But being a died-in-the-wool New Englander Win returned to Ossipee Lake, N. H., a haunt of his childhood days, for the summer. Harry Clarke is another retiree who spends his winters in Palm Beach (where his mother lives), but maintains a permanent address at 731 Park Ave., Manhasset, N. Y. 11030. Still another retiree is Henry Clough, vice principal of Nipmuc Regional High School, Mendon, Mass. Hank was in the local school system 29 years. He was chairman of the general committee for the town's Tercentenary celebration early this summer.

In appreciation of his pioneer work, painstaking research and sustained effort in the treatment of alcoholism, the Alcoholic Treatment Center at Rochester State Hospital has been named the John L. Norris, M.D. Clinic. Dr. Norris, who is medical director of Kodak Park, has served on many committees combating alcoholism during the past quarter century and currently is chairman of Governor Rockefeller's Advisory Council on Alcoholism and chairman of the board of trustees of Alcoholics Anonymous. During the dedication ceremonies, Dr. Guy Walters, director of the hospital, stressed that the philosophy and program of the clinic reflect the knowledge, experience and guidance of Dr. Norris.

Tom Carpenter is another member of the class whose efforts for the past several years have been devoted to changing the public attitude toward alcoholism from being a moral problem to that of a disease. As president of the National Council on Alcoholism, Tom has been largely instrumental in prevailing upon district and federal courts to taking public intoxication out of the crime category. Tom, incidentally, made a trip to Yugoslavia early this summer for an international conference. He reported "we couldn't speak the language and people may have been calling us '??' as they smiled, but they are tourist hungry and seemed very friendly. We visited Zagreb, Bled, Plitvice Lakes, Dubrovnik and Sv. Stefan.

Larry Bankart has been elected district chairman of the Boy Scouts of America's Musket District, comprising the communities of Arlington, Stoneham, Winchester, and Woburn (Mass.). Larry has an extensive scouting background, having served in several scout positions of responsibility. The father of two Eagle Scouts, Larry maintains a strong belief in helping youngsters "before they get into trouble and not after problems arise." He currently serves on the board of directors of the Arlington Boys' Club and as a trustee of the Belmont Hill School. He is also a member of Saint James Episcopal Church, Arlington Conservation Commission, and Symmes Arlington Hospital.

We're happy to report that Ed Roessler was elected president of the Class Treasurers Association at the meeting of class officers in Hanover last spring. Bill Boies, president of The Colonial Bank and Trust Company, of Naugatuck, Conn., who retired in September, has been named chairman of the executive committee of the board of directors. Bill is a director of Clark Brothers Bolt Company, Connecticut Water Company, Emerson Brothers and Risdon Manufacturing Company. He is a past president of the Connecticut Bankers Association, Waterbury Hospital, and the Waterbury Clearing House Association.

The class has been honored once again through the appointment of Lou Kimball to represent the Florida area on the Alumni Council. Lou found time between numerous engagements to take Adeline on a trip to Spain and Portugal late last spring. He was impressed by the tremendous economic growth in those countries and some of their school programs and youth controls, which, he thought, might be good for us.

We regret having to report that early this summer word was received of the death of Donald P. Cameron, January 5, 1967, in Japan. Don was with us only during his freshman year and went on to study at Northwestern University, State University of lowa and University of Chicago. He had pursued the teaching profession in several states, France and Japan and was retired on a pension from Hawaii in 1960. He is survived by a son, Jay, of Oakland, Calif.
