CLASS OF 1909

Phil Avery, who deserves all the credit for the highly successful Naught Nine Reunion on the evening before the Harvard game, writes of it as follows:

On FHday before the Harvard game, 1909 headquarters were established at the Hotel Bellevue in Boston. This made a common meeting place for many of the visiting classmates and was the occasion for many stories and reminiscences. At six o'clock the meeting was adjourned to the large banquet hall of the City Club which had been reserved for 1912, 1915, and 1909. 1909 certainly was there strong. Seventy-four good classmates sat about the table, and, stimulated by Dick Lord's jazz orchestra, and decorated with Mrs. Phil Avery's boutonnieres, partook of a very fine dinner. The following men are known to have been present (very likely others sneaked in but were not registered) :—George Adams, Frank Austin, Phil Avery, Reg Bankhart, Earle Beatty, Sam Bell, Tom Bell, Curley Blake, Chet Brett, Fat Burbank, George Burns, Robert Burns, Harry Burroughs, Fred Carroll, Phil Chase, Cad Cummings, Fat Dillingham, Bob Eaton, Emile Erhard, Tom Fardy, Mike Farley, Harry Floyd, Karl Hammond, Jess Hawley, Sid Hazelton, Al Hearne, Curt Hilliard, George Hinckley, Jim Hitchcock, Bob Holmes, Bill Holzer, Pod Johnson, Knuck Kennedy, Ira Kilburn, Dick Locke, Dick Lord, Dinny Marston, Ed Martin, Jake Mason, Micky McLane, Fritz Morawski, Al Newton, Hal Osborne, Rosy Pearl, Doc Pearson, Chet Perry, Howard Peterson, Russ Pettengill, Sterling Pool, Hal Pratt, Fred Reed, Walter Rogers, Wally Ross, Clark Saville, Al Schofield, Barney Scully, Art Shoppelry, Bob Stone, Art Swenson, Roy Tirrell, Dan Watson, Gordon Weinz, Ced Wellsted, Dutch West, Joe Worthen, Pete Wight, Louis Wright.
