CLASS OF 1917

Word comes from the other side of the United States that Pete Maxfield is actively engaged in the pursuit of oil, that both he and John D. may become richer and richer. He gives his address as Huntington Park, California.

Phil Comey is now a member of the everincreasing Cleveland delegation of Seventeeners, being associated with the Industrial Fibre Company in that city.

After a constant search into various corners of the United States lasting for almost a year, Jack Crenner has been located in Omaha. He is representing a Nashua paper company in that far-off territory, as well as providing for a wife from that F. O. country.

Jim Rubel continues to hold the fort in Chicago, and he has promised not to dun a visiting delegate for his dues, if said delegate will agree to let the town know when he's there.

Mr. Nelb — he of the obsolete nickname — now hangs his hat in a flat in Providence presided over by his wife. When interviewed by long distance phone Mrs. Nelb referred us to the office of big cotton brokers in Providence, and told us to ask for the manager, 'safact, Al was it.

Who says they like 'em short? Now comes Mott Brown with a boast of a job well done. Mrs. Margaret Upton of Swampscott, Mass., announced the engagement of her daughter, Frances Eleanor, to the other elongated champion in the Brown family.

Ralph Chadbourne still plies his way between Boston and Braintree (Mass.) every working day in the week, and as soon as the snow goes he'll probably start golf, church, and gardening on Sunday, instead of stoking the furnace and reading the paper all day for amusement.

Dr. Robert Cole Stickney — according to the Boston Transcript—has gone and got married. We've missed Bob a lot these past years while he was pursuing her, now we'll miss him 'cause she's got him. She being the former Miss Dorothea I. Fuller of Brookline.

Hal Walker's just waiting for the carpenters to get out of his Love Nest so's he can get in. He's in that frame of mind made famous of late by Win Scudder and his house building experiences.

The granite business is coming along fine, according to Maurice Watkins in his annual report from the Green Mountain State.

The same Al report has been submitted by our field delegate of the lumber business, Mr. Walter C. Sisson of Potsdam, N. Y.

Joe Randall is checking incomes for the internal revenue officer at Harrisburg, Pa. This is just a friendly tip, and can be used either as being for or against your interests.

When asked for word of himself, Palmer Kiser replies, "Been working for same company (National Screw and Manufacturing Company) ever since (discharge from army), and still on my first million." He's in Chi along with a flock of the gang.

Judge Hill is doing all the law will allow him in the way of a livelihood. Here s hoping the day will come, John, when your nickname will be a title.

That ability to depict others as you see them, so well demonstrated by Harrison McCreary for the Jacko, means bread and butter to him now. He's down in the Big City, but he's married and consequently immune from the "Village Itch."

Elmer Berry sends a nice long letter to the class from that distant hot-bed in the Near East called Turkey. He is with the Standard Oil, and expects a leave of absence in May, so that he may come home and see how we all look, as well as giving "sa femme francaise" the same opportunity.

Anybody having difficulty with Central European languages are advised to communicate with Dick Marschat. Dick is manager of the Czechoslovak — (that looks right anyway) American Corporation, New York city.

Bill Erb renounced citizenship in the city of Lynn, Mass., some time ago, but it honestly seems hard to believe that Vineland, N. J., is any improvement. However, the eagle screams the loudest in that town, according to Bill.

The list of teaching Seventeeners has included Walt Kipp for two years now. What we can't understand is how Brooks Brothers ever let our champion wielder of the flatiron get away from them. Walt is assistant principal of the high school at Newport, Vt.

Whitey Meade now gets his pay in the pound currency of H.R.H. George the Fifth, out in that country of romance made famous by Kipling. He is with the Standard Oil in Karachi, India.

Jess Hawley is one of the few men in the class who is qualified to pass expert opinion on Mark Twain's renowned discourse on the merits of Texas. Jess hailed originally from Twain's home state of Connecticut, and he's skipping gutters, in the quest of elusive insurance premiums in Dallas.

The class welcomed into this world of strife and discord Miss Mary Joyeuse Gile — weight nine and one-quarter pounds — on February 16. Congratulations, Arch and Mary!

"Mr. and Mrs. Louis A. Hagen of Cranford, N. J., announce the engagement of their daughter, Miss Lucile Antoinette Hagen, to Eugene Davis Towler, also of Cranford, N. J."

Secretary, Ralph Sanborn, 37 Arlington St., Cambridge, Mass.
