An article appearing in The Standard under date of January 28 remarks about our congenial Joe as follows: "Joe E. Downey, Thos. F. Murphy, and Frank L. Flaherty announce the opening of their office on February first at 103 Water St., Boston. The firm are Boston agents and metropolitan managers of the Cleveland National and Henry Clay Fire Companies, formerly represented by Mr. Downey." It also says, "Mr. Downey is the son of John J. Downey of the Massachusetts Fire and Marine of Boston, and a Dartmouth College graduate in the class of 1910. That year he entered the employ of the Equitable Fire and Marine Insurance Company of Providence, and later became connected with various offices in Boston, until his enlistment in the army. He served overseas in the World War as a first lieutenant." The article goes on to state that Murphy is also a graduate of Dartmouth College, and served during the war as a major in the 101st Infantry of the 26th Division.

It is rumored that Keith Pevear is doing industrial engineering work with Russ Pettingill '09, in Boston. If anybody knows the facts, let's have them. Look out for this man Pettingill, Keith, he is a bad actor. All the Tenners in Chicago can give you a line on him. We all saw him in action at several annual gatherings. At the Blackstone he portrayed the part of a German soldier; using a seltzer bottle as his weapon, he made a daring attack on the Tenner dugout and put the whole crowd to route. Ask Billy Williams or Don Bryant.
