Snipe Esquerre, our retired class secre tary, besides turning over his robes of office bequeathed class archives weighing 200 pounds to his successor, thus enabling him, Kay and their cat. Rehab, to move to smaller quarters in Darien, Conn.

Other moves took Ed Hanlon to the west coast on a business and pleasure trip with Evelyn. Even so, an avid reader of The New York Times, he relayed the news back East that Frederic P. Barnes was elected a governor of The New York Stock Exchange.

Also, Ed noticed Jim Jenkins’ picture in The Times as president of The New York American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with plans for a society event. Jim is on a consulting basis with Bankers Trust Co.

Bob Williams reports that life in La Verne, Calif, and his nearby mountain cabin is not too hard for Cappy and him to take.

Travel keeps'1926 men in all parts of the world and Monty Colladay and Nina earlier this year took two months to explore Mexico in their camper on a rugged 6000- mile trip.

Hal Marshall is probably the first man in the class to retire twice from the same company. After his retirement in 1969; he was recalled by The Kendall Company as chief executive officer when his successor became ill and could not continue in his position.. On August 31, 1970, Hal again retired—this time hopefully for keeps which will enable him and Marion to enjoy their Sunapee all-season hideout.

Besides weighing in boxers as Chairman of the New York State Athletic Commission, Ed Dooley finds time to speak to various groups apparently on other functions of the Commission. When not otherwise engaged, he is vice president and counsel of Jones, Blakely and Rockwell, public relations firm.

Herewith a direct quote from our star reporter, Ed Hanlon: “John Arenovski has retired from Fibreboard Corp. after 25 years of loyal service. His boss came on from San Francisco to honor him at a dinner and to present an Accutron (Bulova) watch—one you have to wind only once a year (Secretary’s note: one does not wind an Accutron watch; once a year you change the battery. HDN, Jeweler). John and Marion will live in Boynton Beach, Fla. John has a distributorship deal pending with our own Eddie Gulbenkian who handles high price quality rugs and carpets.”

Retiring from the Math Department at Brooklyn College where he has_ been a professor since 1932, Earry Kennison will become Chairman of the Math Department at Southeastern Massachusetts University, North Dartmouth, Mass. Larry and Jean plan to live in Westport, Mass.

Words on four who missed the 45th reunion . . . Johnny Heavenrich, when writing on his president’s stationery of Whaling’s Men’s Wear, Detroit, gave as his reason—an indisposition. Hopefully he is now well again, but some wonderment exists as to whether today’s men’s styles caused the upset. A Rolls Royce with a 1926 license plate was noted in Hanover on Sunday, June 14, and it was reported that Juil Blicke was at the wheel. He and Evelyn were enroute to Woodstock for the Rolls Royce Owners Club Spring Tour, thus missing the 45th by a day. From Bellbrook, Ohio, came word from Gail (Tex) Borden that his reason was travel to Texas for a niece’s wedding and also a visit from a son and daughter-in- law (presumably from Texas, Tex?). SandyMartyn wrote that Helen’s and his Europe- an trip threw their schedule off completely, but they have high hopes for the 50th. _

After 25 years as Principal of Stonington (Conn.) High School, Carroll W. Peavey retired last June. Peave became principal in January 1945 following his service as lieutenant in the U. S. Air Force. He took his master’s degree at Columbia Teacher’s College.

Ted Seely will be back at Barry College, Miami, Fla., this fall as Professor of English “for at least another stint” as he puts it. The Seelys spent two weeks this summer in Switzerland with their daughter, and three weeks in Turkey with their son, Jon ’57.

Bob Cleary reports having a fine visit with Bill Collins who lives on a farm in beautiful rolling country near the village of Hopewell, N. J. Bill retired from United States Steel last March, and now keeps busy with a herd of 120 Herefords, also being active in the Hereford Association.

Our Class of 1926 Memorial Book Committee is ever on the job, and their latest project has been to create a “desider- ata” list. For those whose Latin courses date from the ’2o’s and who can’t put their hands on a Latin dictionary—it has been said that our committee has in mind putting all book snooper-outers on notice that certain illus- trated books published in New England prior to 1869 are particularly desired by the Dartmouth College Library. One volume will be named each month in the Alumni Magazine on the “desiderata” list. It should be noted, however, that this book is already in the collection, but is in poor condition; hence a better copy is being sought.

The October “Desiderata” Book is; Bliss, Marianna H. K., Sketches for You (Boston; Sabbath School Society, 1853).

Richard C. Maloney ’26 retired as Asso-ciate Professor of Social Science andLecturer in History at The PennsylvaniaState University on August 15. During20 years there he also was Assistant toPresident Milton Eisenhower and Asso-ciate Dean of the liberal arts college.A naval and maritime history buff, heis the author of “Fifty Notable Ship Por-traits at Mystic, Conn.”
