Let's make the '05 delegation the largest at this dinner on May 11. President Rufus Day of Cornell plans to be on hand.

Congratulations to Col. Walter Lillard, Director of Industrial Relations for the West Hanover (Mass.), Branch of the National Fire Works Co., which recently received the ArmyNavy Five-Star Pennant. Admiral Nimitz, in a cablegram to Col. Lillard, congratulated him and the employees of the company for "outstanding production records."

Bob Harding reports a fine time at the recent Boston Alumni Dinner. Roger Brown, L. R. Chamberlin, Elsie Grover, Tom Keady, Dr. Loder, Midge Reid and Cy. White were' the other '05 men present. They shared a table very enjoyably with these '06 men, Dennison, French, Powers, Wallace and Waring.

George and Mrs. Proctor are visiting their daughter in Florida. Her husband is stationed there in the armed forces Roger Brown is very busy with contracts for trucking at Camp Edwards in Cape Cod and elsewhere in NewEngland.

All '05 men will be pleased to. hear that Walter Garfield Small, superintendent of the Brockton (Mass.), Edison Co., is now rapidly recovering from a recent severe illness.

The sympathy of the class is extended to Henry and Mrs. Hobart in the death of their son, Lt.

Shirley B. Cunningham is looking forward to seeing many '05 men at the Dartmouth Dinner at the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York on April 26, 1945. He recently saw our good friend, Dr. Henry Barnard Safford. '04, at the Dartmouth Club in New York. Henry is a successful , doctor and has written several books which have had a large sale.

Fred Chase reports a milder winter at Dunedin, Fla., than in recent years. Fred and Mrs. Chase went to Florida in January and plan to return home in April. He hopes to see Jake Atwood and Walter Harriman before his return.

Since we are not to have our Reunion in June 1945, there is considerable interest among the men in having a class picnic, at a place near Boston on Saturday, May 12, 1945, after the Five-Classes Dinner. Please write the secretary about your interest in the proposed picnic and offer suggestions as to a good place near Boston for holding it.
