Mac Kendall says he has no progress to report except that he succeeded in getting a bigger lead on the sheriff the last year or two. Mac states that he has plenty of time to answer Tenner gossip. Here's a chance for some of the class to unload. I doubt, Mac, if you are pestered very much. I think, generally speaking, the class has forgotten how to write and very few have a stenographer.
Fred Rainey, the exception to the class, uses his own typewriter, and his letters, such as the following, revivify the downtrodden and inspire the motheaten, henpecked husband: "According to your orders on the card sent out to the grand and glorious class of 1910, I hereby take my typewriter in hand without the slightest idea of what I can write of interest either to you or to my fellow Tenners, but with the hope that some kind spirit will inspire me with a thought before I am finished. I might state that I have been married these five months and haven't regretted it yet —a statement at which, doubtless, all those of experience may raise their eyebrows in mild, but kindly derision. I might also state that, to date, I am childless—but that may be remedied in time. I might also state that I am running a close second to Ben Williams in beauty of form. And that is no joke! However, it seems to be no deterrent in my athletic labors this winter, which consist solely of instructing the youth in the noble art of self-defense. I find that a surplus of tissue about the waistline acts as a shock-absorber for the blows of my husky antagonists. This season I no longer coach the basketball team here at the school. My successor has never coached a team in his life, and so far as anyone can learn, has never played on any team except our own faculty organization'. All of which shows how valuable I proved myself to be as a coach last year. This is my second year as head of the English department here, and it is likely to be my last, for, with added responsibility of marriage comes ambition, and I am looking very strenuously about me for a job as headmaster in a school that has never heard how rotten a teacher I really am. My days of wandering are about over. Nevertheless, I hope to arouse sufficient energy to take a couple of good hikes on Cape Cod and through the Adirondacks during the coming-summer, providing, of course, I can get the wife in a similar condition. Have all the Tenners stop at Chestnut Hill when coming through the city. 10-derly, F. A. Rainey."

September 29, 1916, Richard Carroll Everett; April 20, 1919, John Carroll Everett; April 29, 1921, Mary Everett; November 4, 1922,, James Everett. Just note the majority of Dartmouth prospects. Surely there ought to be one of the gang that will qualify for a managing editor. Jim will also, no doubt, insist on one of them aspiring .for mayor, providing the old custom when we were there is still in vogue. Jim, you can well be proud of this gang, and many of us are sitting by green-eyed.

A few weeks ago the papers reported the fact that Monty Fall, treasurer of the Republican State Committee, was elected president of the Maiden Board of Aldermen for another term after 35 or 40 different ballots had been taken. Balloting under such circumstances must have continued far into the night, which of course, gave Monty much advantage, because he is well trained for night work and play. His sophomore days in the Shurtleff House are standing him in mighty good stead today.

Shorty Worcester writes that he was recently disturbed in his slumbers, and on answering the phone, much to his surprise and pleasure found an old friend Tenner, Harry Hercules Driver by name, of Tylersburg, Pa. It is needless to say Shorty stood in night attire for some time swapping Tenner notes with our mutual friend and mule driver (see 5th class report). Harry was en route to Columbus, Ohio, to take a two or three weeks' training course in a manufacturing concern making contractors' supplies, such as concrete mixers, etc., Harry plans to return to North-western Pennsylvania and sell contracting equipment.
