1914
Into five different states the March issue carries birthday greetings to six members of our Famous Class: to Derby Hall of Melrose, Mass., to Lester Little of Plainfield, N.H., and to Ralph Woodman of Milford, N.H., to Leland Spore of Sandusky, Ohio, westward to Sam Sheldon of Red Wing, Minn., and on to Frederick Cranston of Denver, Colo. This spot light will cost each of these six Martians a six cent post card giving some sort of news for our next issue.
And I have big news of which you will hear more in the months to come. The lost has been found, a scrap book known to exist but its whereabouts unknown, a book incomplete as to our first few years but priceless for the records of our lives and of so much that concerned our families in the years from 1925 to 1949; years that took us through a great depression and on through our second world war.
The book is an invaluable collection of our 1914 class notes written for the ALUMNI MAGAZINE by a succession of faithful secretaries whose names in this succession include Herbert Austin, JohnBurleigh, Edward Leech, and WallaceH. Drake.
If perhaps with help from Hanover or from sources within our own ranks we can somehow add the reports of our earlier secretaries: Frank Llewellyn, J. Theodore Marriner, Raymond H. Trott,Dwight Conn, Clifton Chandler and John M. Palmer and of our post war secretaries: Pennell W. Aborn, John F.Connors, and Elmer Robinson, can we not hope to underwrite our complete notes in book or pamphlet form as a legacy to our children and grandchildren?
A last-minute phone call to our president, Vogie Stiles, permits me to make for him two important announcements. The first is that Lay Little who yesterday with Ruth left for a two months' stay in the Virgin Islands has accepted appointment as our Class Bequest Chairman, and the second, that Sig Larmon has agreed to become our Newsletter Editor. Thus the two posts so ably filled by our beloved Mart Remsen are to be carried on by two of our members of unquestioned qualification and distinction.
