1925

Between the time these notes are drafted and issued in print two occasions will have transpired. Your class officers will have returned to Hanover as guests of the college to discuss current problems with the officers of other classes and incidentally to enjoy once again the many thrills which accompany a return to the campus. The other occasion will have been the annual spring dinner for the greater Boston contingent, normally attended by 25 to 30 classmates, wives, widows and guests. As these are our last notes until next fall, we'll have to rely upon Herb Talbot to report in the Roundup the details of these two occasions.

Alex Laing was recently publicized as a "front-ranking writer" with "proved ability to combine an excellent scientific background with a writing style that brings insight and interest to a complex subject." Alex, who is Professor of Humanities at Hanover, is an authority on United States maritime history. His books include "American Ships," "Clipper Ship Men and American Sail."

It's a little late in the season to mention skiing, but we must disclose that there reached our attention a pictorial clipping from The Boyne (Mich.) News with the caption: "Reunionites - Edward C. Dodez, Ft. Wayne, Ind., and K. R. Parker of La Grange, Ill., once old classmates, have been using Boyne Ski Weeks as a means of staging class reunions for the past 15 years, and were on hand, this week, as usual to enjoy the early spring skiing." In the picture Ken and Ed both looked like experienced professionals. During the past season Ken also skied with various members of his family at Monmouth (north of L. A.), Squaw Valley and Mt. Snow and Stratton in Vermont, which covers quite a stretch of snow.

We're indebted to Charlie Donovan '43 for biographical material on Bill Cubbins, arising out of an occasion when Bill was chairman of the annual meeting of the Private Truck Council of America, of which he is a director. Bill is manager, National Accounts, of Mack Trucks, Inc. and is highly respected in the motor truck business.

Two classmates have passed on since our last report. Jack H. Johnston, branch claims manager for Kemper Insurance, died at Tampa, Fla., March 4, 1967 at the age of 65. Stanley S. Wasserman died at his home in Brooklyn, N. Y., March 30, 1967 at the age of 63. He had been an importer of cigars throughout his career.

Two retirements have been reported with changes of address. Tom Keeher has settled down at 1185 SW 11th St., Boca Raton, Fla. 33432. Bob Rahmanop has gone a little farther afield and retired to San Telmo #l2, Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.

These are our last notes until next fall. May each and every one of you enjoy the summer to the utmost. And incidentally why not plan to join us in Hanover for the meeting of the class board of directors on Saturday, October 6, 1967 at 10 A.M. and the Holy Cross football game that afternoon. It's probable that as usual we'll also have a class dinner that evening.

Erratum - In last month's notes where we referred to the amount of tuition in our day, we erred in recalling the total figure. It should have read "$1,000" instead of "$2,000," we believe after delving deeper into our failing memory.
