CLASS OF 1916

The response to "Gil" Tapley's first appeal for contributions to the 1923 Alumni Fund quota indicates that the "fighting spirit" of the class has been aroused. Several men, in addition to contributing, have volunteered their services for any work that may be assigned them in the drive to put 1916 over the top in the support of the College. It is no longer a one-man job, but a class issue, and the class, now awakened to a realization of the significance of the Alumni Fund, means to fulfil its obligation. Up to the quota and over!

"Rog" Evans writes under date of December 30, 1922, from Shanghai, China: "Where's my Harvard Game class bulletin? We want it, then some more.

Carl Holmes is safely tucked away in South Byfield, Mass., where they make the snow long and deep. Carl is serving as acting principal of Dummer Academy, but still wields a mean hockey-stick. Bumped into him a few weeks ago in the snow-swept wilds of Danvers as he was leading his hockey charges in attack on the St. John's Preparatory School team.

"Nat" Harris, of the firm of Harris and Ladd, agents of the National Fire Insurance Company of Hartford, is splitting his time between the Boston and Haverhill agencies of the new company. At that the Boston and Maine probably takes most of it.

"Art" Conley, who admits having 500 addresses in the past six months, is now associated with "Write Inc.," manufacturers of carbon paper and typewriter ribbons, with factories in Bridgeport, Conn., and offices in New York. Here's hoping the anchors hold, Art

Unannounced and blushing, Louis Bell broke into a recent '16 luncheon, and was acclaimed a member in good standing of the local B.A.C.
