1918

Twenty-three members of the Class of 1918 at present occupied in and around Boston, gathered at the rooms of the Dartmouth Club of Boston on the evening of Friday, April 7, for a dinner and get-together, the first strictly 1918 gathering of the year. The steward of the Bellevue served a hearty dinner and the usual round of "what are you doing," .and "where have you been" unearthed some interesting tales. Ken Jones, recently returned from several years in Socony work at Yokohama, told interesting tales of life in Japan and Eddie Butts told of the rise and fall of American business in Argentina. Walt Wiley told of his experiences in Turkey in connection with his work with the American college at Marsovan which, though they did not seem to excite him much, gave the rest of the crowd a feeling that we were lucky to see him again. "Red" Hulbert from Springfield was an unexpected but very welcome visitor, as was Al Street, who is selling Boston dealers a new type of camera film known as Direx, a film which delivers sepia prints within ten minutes after the pictures are taken without the use of any printing paper. The others present were Stanley, Rand, Chandler, Clahane, W. S. Ross, Bingham, Colby, Angell, Russell, Bryant, Fred Morse, Saltmarsh, Howley, Leavitt, Pepin, T. R. Montgomery, Christgau and Hood.

Plans were discussed for another '18 dinner this spring and Friday evening, May 12, was set as the date. All Eighteeners in the vicinity paste that date in their hats and show up. The time will be 6:30 and the place the Dartmouth Club. Some one will be down from Hanover to give the straight dope from there and other entertainment is being planned. '18 up!!
