CLASS OF 1917
Twenty Seventeeners started the season right by showing up for the first fall feed at the Boston City Club on Monday evening, October 3. The chief topic of conversation, after the soup course, was the all-important Fifth, and the discussion produced a number of good ideas as to program as well as ways and means. It might also be noted that everyone but Rus Marr had definite plans for the peerade, and Rus opined that he'd be on hand if business kept him in these parts. Don't let a thing like business interfere with a reunion, Rus. They only come every five years from now on. From the sentiments expressed by those present, it is likely that these Boston food-fights will go back to the monthly basis. In which case, all wandering Seventeeners who find themselves in or near the metropolis on the first of the month better hang around until the first Monday and sit in with the gang.
Prexy Paine pulled into Boston recently in search of a vacation. Being now a hopeless golf addict, he found it in 36 holes per day. Bob was looking well considering the fact that he has been smoking cigarettes for the past two years.
Larry Nourse, erstwhile chief potentate of the Avon High school, is now ruling the destinies of the youth of Nahant from the office of the superintendent of schools.
Phil Woodwell, after some months of silence, writes that he is principal of the High school in Petersham, Mass.
