CLASS OF 1916
The Final Green Edition of the BostonAmerican announced under recent date the return of "Pete" Soutar from his Mexican tomato plantation.
Horace Fishback passed through Chicago early in August bound for the home fireside at Brookings, S. D. This equipment consisted of three bags, an enormous elephant gun, and a bag of golf sticks. It is unofficially reported that "Fish" has severed his connection with the International Banking Corporation, and will use the elephant gun for local game.
"Alec" Dean attained notable success during the past summer as head of the dramatic courses in the School of Speech at the Northwestern Summer Scho6l in Evanston, Ill.
Bill Costello has been made dramatic editor of the new Hearst paper in Rochester, N. Y., the Rochester American. Bill tells the local theatre-goers "what's what" in a daily column under the caption "Costello says."
"Shorty" Hitchcock writes of a recent visit to "Hap" Ward in Buffalo, where he waf entertained by ";Hap's" stories and pictures of the life turbulent in China, the land of "Who's king today!"
Jack Saunders is in real estate in Birmingham, Mich.
As a "bolt from the blue" a letter arrived recently from our battling dervish, "Husky" Hearin, who is a vice consul at Beirut, Syria. Marriages, divorces, burials, court trials, etc., all come within the scope of consulate authority, and when "Husky" himself admits that Reno is a Puritan village in comparison, we'll say that Beirut must be "the berries." Steamship bookings are closed for the next year, so keep your seats. For full particulars and further details of "Husky's" latest doings form a single line outside the secretary's office.
Your best answer to "Perc" Burnham's letter is your check properly executed.
The engagement of Miss Lydia Ethel Dufney to Merrill L. ("Doc") Greeley was recently announced.
Miss Gertrude Schimpf of Albany, N. Y., and Chandler T. White were married in June, and are now residing at 807 Myrtle Ave., Albany, N. Y.
Mr. and Mrs. George Herbert Edwards announce the marriage of their daughter, Lucile, to Mr. Samuel Ernest Cutler on August 16, at Kansas City, Mo. "Ernie" writes that he has closed the cave on Battle Mountain, Nevada, and will soon take up residence in Brookline, Mass.
Shirley W. Harvey is instructor in English at Williams College.
Prof, and Mrs. Gilbert H. Tapiey announce the birth of a daughter, Priscilla, on September 22.
Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Reynolds announce the arrival of Paul Thorndike Reynolds on October 2, weight 8¼ lbs.
With the opening of the collegiate year of 1922-23 the Secretary urgently requests the men of the class to send in all items of interest first hand—many events come to light only after an elapse of several months. Keep in touch with your Secretary and let him "tell the world" or keep your secret, as you desire.
"Rog" Evans writes from Shanghai under date of October 2 that Bill Hale has been transferred to the Peking branch of the Asia bank. "Rog" is our only connecting link with the Far East—keep the lines open! Bill Hale and Pewee Marble might be playing ring-toss with the North Pole so far as we would know, were it not for the Silk King.
Amid a riot of "punkins," bats, and witches, old Balmacaan gathered his motley crew about the board at the City Club on the night before the Harvard game. "Pete" Soutar, right out of the heart of Mexico with a tomato boutonniere, touched on his past experiences by spinning a "Scotch" yarn. Ernie Cutler, fresh from Battle Mountain, Nevada, was so overwhelmed at being called on for a few words that he beamed a cross-country smile and subsided. Bill Nagle from the distant reaches of Brookline, "Pike" Larmon from somewhere west of Roxbury, and John Ames from New York city were other visiting brothers welcomed back into the portals of the Shrine of Morey. Eleazar Wheelock was called upon in every key known to the Musicians' Union and a few others, but failed to matriculate. Fifty-twol Sixteeners crossed the threshold while the lights were on, and a few others may have crawled in unknown to themselves. "Doc" Greeley gave the "bulldogs" a good try-out leading cheers for Dartmouth, 1916, and Balmacaan, and Gene McQuesten proved conclusively that there is nothing in a voice by perpetrating the Chinese Battle Hymn, a la Chi Phi. It was a great crowd, the kind that "hences loathed melancholy" and pages the fair Euphrosyne, and it was over all too soon to enable those present to secure seats at the monster mass meeting immediately following. Over again, Balmacaan, we sure felt it!
Secretary, H. Clifford Bean, 38 Algonquin St., Dorchester, Mass.
