Class of 1915
REUNION POST-MORTEMS
The weather was perfect,—only two showers, and they did not interfere with the events on the program.
Beginning September 1, 1925, the ALUMNI MAGAZINE will be sent to those members of the class who have paid the annual class dues, which by the passing of the following amendment have been raised to three dollars:
Moved: To amend the by-laws, Art. 12, Section 1, so that it reads—The annual dues of the class of 1915 shall be three ($3.00) dollars, commencing with the year 1925 and payable the first day of the year. To those members whose dues are paid in full, for the year in question, by September 1, a year's subscription for the ALUMNI MAGAZINE shall be recorded, and they will receive that magazine until the following September.
This means that the periodic fifteenograms will be discontinued and that the ALUMNI MAGAZINE will be the medium of dispensing class notes. You'll get a bill anyway, but why not send Jack Bowler the $3.00 in anticipation?
Your new officers are all inexperienced at their respective jobs and earnestly solicit help, so write up and speak up frequently.
Tracy Brownell does not think that the water at Lake Morey is as buoyant as it used to be. Tracy dove off the pier and all but ruined his face, as the bottom was too near the surface, and besides, Tracy is not as light as he was while in college. Doc Davis decided not to operate, so bound up the wound.
Speaking of doctors, there is one for every five 1915 inhabitants. Look 'em over—Doc Bowler, Gear, Davis, Granger, and Roza, the D.D.S. kind. From the best authority three out of every five are lawyers, beginning with Gov Jordan way down to A 1 Sherman.
We are indebted to Richard Hudnut and Company for the ladies' favors, which were distributed by Earl Clough. No doubt the stayat-home wives enjoyed the one the returning husband brought home (—?).
Charlie Griffith demonstrated that his Little Lord Fauntleroy stockings had no influence upon the quality of his music, for in spite of them it was of the usual high standard. The public were only permitted to gaze upon them once, however, while his white ones were drying.
A new indoor sport has been discovered,—- coasting down the dormitory stairs on a ten foot toboggan,—references : Folan, Johnson, Elms, and Company. The best results can be obtained after 12 P. M. and before 4 A. M.
Fred Childs has simplified matters a whole lot now, because he furnishes his own pianist,— allow us to present to the stay-homers Mrs. Kathryn Jane Kerin Childs.
Turk Turner reported at the class dinner that there were more 1915 subscribers to the Alumni Fund than ever before, but that we were still $375 shy of the quota. Whereupon $375 cash was collected and dropped in the good man's lap, which is as it should be, for A 1 Priddy, chairman of the committee, deserves the support and backing of his own class.
Not to be outdone by his college and his class, the Boston Chamber of Commerce decided that A 1 Priddy was the man to complete its board of directors.
No reunion is complete without its honeymooners, so Bill and Marion Huntress and Fred and Kathryn Childs co-operated to uphold the tradition. It was noticeable, particularly at the banquet, that Bill and Fred separated although temporarily from their new wives sought solace in each other's society.
Without counting the votes Russ Durgin and wife from Tokio, Japan, won the long distance walking stick. Chuck Ingram from Snoqualmie Falls, Washington, and Bill Hall from Havana, Cuba, can fight it out for second place long distance travel honors. Cuba must be a rough country, for Bill came up with a broken finger and a slight discoloration in the vicinity of the eye.
The ball game scheduled between 1910 and 1915 did not materialize. The 1915 team was there at the appointed hour, but—well, draw your own conclusions.
If the class baby, John Loomis, Jr., could not be with us, we were pleased to see what he looks like,—he passed inspection, but it must be the fault of his mother.
Here's hoping that Dud Woolworth's luck has changed, and that he has escaped from the sanatarium by this time.
Rumor has it that Doc Noyes is prohibition agent for Long Lake, N. Y.—he must have been on the trail of a suspect at the dinner, for he was loaded for bear. Full particulars of that story he tried to tell about his stenographer will be furnished upon request.
Many of us wondered why Ev Graves did not appear at our Tenth. Unfortunately at that time Ev was in the Cambridge Hospital with a fractured skull and multiple injuries, the result of an automobile accident. Our last report is that his name has been taken from the dangerous list and he is on the road to recovery.
A 1 Priddy named the following as a committee to revise our class constitution: Russ Livermore, chairman, Bill Huntress, Ray King, Leo Burt, Roy Lafferty. They have already started to work.
Johnny Johnson has asked that he be per- mitted to express in this column his truthful thanks for the loving cup and cigarette case which he received from his classmates. Time did not permit him to thank each member per- sonally while in Hanover, but his appreciation of their thoughtfulness is no less sincere.
The reunion pictures taken by our official photographer are excellent and you will be ad- vised later how they can be obtained. No 1915 home should be without a set of these pictures.
Speaking of pictures, it is known that there were many snaps taken at one time or another. Will you kindly consider this a personal re- quest to send the Secretary your negatives from which prints can be made for the 1915 scrap book. It is guaranteed that they will not be used as evidence in libel, slander, nor divorce proceedings.
Secretary, . 9 Woodland St., Arlington, Mass.
