CLASS OF 1918

Seventy 1918 men hit up the trail to Hanover in June, experienced the grand and glorious feelin' of bein' back, shook hands with everybody in sight, from Jake Bond down the whole lineup, celebrated in the manner customary at .reunions even in these days of hair tonic, and then one by one silently folded up their tents and stole back to the money marts and toil once more.

At the: annual meeting of the class held Monday, June 23, the election of officers resulted : president, Stan B. Jones, the greatest ad writer of modern times; vice-president, William Hay Bemis, the Cleveland lawyer de luxe; secretary, C. L. Meredith, of the Unemployed Army; treasurer, Russell Henry Rhodes, the original R. H. R. of newspaperdom.

Harv Hood, who submitted his resignation as class president, was unable to be present on account of injuries received in a wreck on the C. V. a few days before the reunion. Harv was heading north from White River when his car left the rest of the train and started for the river proper. He awoke several days later in a sanitarium in Bethel, Vt., was later moved to his home at Beverly, Mass., and has since been improving rapidly.

Hal Doty, former secretary, though he did not say, is understood to have had reasons for resigning his post. Two days after he left Hanover announcement was made of his marriage in Washington to Miss Sadie Pope, a Kentucky lady.

At the meeting the secretary was authorized to use class funds as necessary in carrying out the duties of the office.

As a means of jazzing up the class with a few rounds of current literature on what's doing in class circles, the secretary is planning the regular or irregular publication of a mimeographed dope sheet. The first issue should appear about August 1. To handle this business in an efficient manner, a special mailing form is being devised, and an addressing machine capable of turning out the entire class list in twenty minutes installed. For the present at least, the only subscription price will be one letter or postal card from each man. This plan will be put upon a trial basis. If 1918 is interested in the project and will support it and feed in news, it will be maintained, — if interest shown does not indicate a desire for its continuance it will die suddenly.

Resolutions adopted by the class have been sent to relatives of members of the class who died in service during the past year.
