CLASS OF 1917
Although he has been very quiet about it, we have finally obtained verification of the fact that Lieutenant Gerald A. Shattuck of Harding's Navy has assumed a new command in the form of a whacking baby boy. (Date of enlistment—May 17, 1923.)
Russ Willis reports that he finds the steel fabricating industry lucrative enough to supply his own daily bread, but not any more just yet. "Am after Charley Schwab's job. But he doesn't know it yet." That's Russ's own way of telling it, and seems to be to the point. Good luck to you, and the next time the class secretary has lunch with Charley he'll apprise him of your ambitions.
Those of the class of 1917 who are beset by the turmoil and strife of this earthly struggle and seek solitude and quiet should communicate with George Dandrow. George claims that Spearfish, South Dakota, is far enough from Broadway to make aeroplane communication out of the question. He's a long way off all right, but he charges the Secretary that 1917 is still close to his heart.
As one might vulgarly express it—"Hot dog, he's gone and done it." Yes, sir, one more weak-hearted member of our noble throng has answered the siren's call. And, that "one more" is none other than our old friend Gil Swett. Of course, we've had inside dope for almost a year now, but you never can tell till it's over. Marie Ellen Dilworth of New York city became Mrs. Gilbert Nichols Swett on the fifth of May. Our best to you both!
Joe Randall is on the move again. This time he has migrated toward home, if you can say such a thing. He packed up his kit in Harrisburg, Pa., and jumped to Lowell, Mass., where he becomes an inspector for the internal revenue officer of that district. Hen Sturgess and Charley Downer, to say nothing of Max Sherburne and one or two others, had better check back on their returns and make sure that there's no loop-hole through which Joe may crawl.
Word reaches us indirectly that Freddy Goodwin has left Filene's in Boston and gone over to the big city of New York, there to seek his fortune with Arnold Constable & Company. If you're down that way drop in and get Fred to give you a lift with that shopping for the wife.
Secretary, Ralph Sanborn, 37 Arlington St., Cambridge 40, Mass.
