Class of 1918
Tom Campbell evidently believes that the surest way of achieving fame is to break into scientific literature. At a recent meeting of the American Electrochemical Society held in Detroit he presented a very interesting paper entitled "The Electrolysis of Ammoniacal Zinc Carbonate Solutions." His paper seems very thorough in its scope, and deals particularly with the application of this process in the extraction of zinc from its ores. It would be illuminating reading matter for all chemically inclined 18'ers. Tom is still out at the Colorado School of Mines, where he is combining instruction with research work leading to advanced degrees.
Don Macaulay reports court cases for the Springfield Union at Springfield, Mass., and is practicing attorney during the dull seasons. After graduating from the Northeastern University Law School with cum laude honors, he has recently passed the Massachusetts bar exams. Don bemoans the fact that he is the only unmarried Eighteener in and around Springfield. Can't some kindly soul help him out?
From France we hear from Paul Woodman, who writes: "I'm happily married, father of a family (one boy) and self-supporting, even if I haven't paid my class dues. This is a frugal country without any 'pull'." He is an auditor with the Reparations Committee.
Syl Morey has left the George L. Dyer Company to go with the Blackman Company, advertising, in New York city.
Rumor has it that Dan Shea, the erstwhile timber-topper, is shortly to be married. It is hoped that it is mere idle club gossip.
Dave Skinner, the sleek bondmonger, has been made manager of the Omaha branch of the National City Company, and reports that his famous embalmer's derby was shot full of holes by hilarious cowpunchers at one of the local rodeos in the course of his first week.
Howard Gleason was in New York recently, looking suspiciously red-nosed. He is traveling, incidentally, for the Botany Yarns Mills.
John Martinez, the Idol of Fair Wimmen, has gone into the insurance business. He borrows roommate Earley's gum shoes and dark lantern with which to track weary artisans to their mansions after dark, and there secures the necessary signatures on the dotted line. Earley says John's company isn't much good, and John says the same in regard to Earley's. President Jones' advice is to steer clear of both of these oily slickers.
Out in Denver, Colo., John Cunningham spends his time as sales manager of the Perry-Jacobs Rubber Company. He has been married several years, and fathers one daughter. John claims no achievements since drinking those three bottles of champagne in France on armistice night.
Harold Glendening has quit England for the U. S. A. He has recently taken an apartment at 925 Park Ave., New York city, to which he has safely moved his family.
High up in the mountains of Montana, Tom Proctor is still recovering from the effects of the Furious Fifth. Tom says that he can't comprehend everything that went on at that time, but does remember "Whitmore falling over fences, Curt Tripp's trick Ford on which the pistons freeze up going down hill,and Storrs giving a short impersonation of Coach Whelan of Tufts." He claims he is only marking time out in the suburbs until 1928. Otherwise he engineers for the Montana Power Company, Columbus, Montana, on construction work in the hills.
Secretary, 953 Madison Ave., New York
