CLASS OF 1912

Our class has lost another beloved member in the passing away of Dr. Tucker. We were next to the last entering freshman class to be received by President Tucker, and fortunate are we indeed to have known him, even though only for the space of our first two years in college. Dr. Tucker was the only honorary member of the class of 1912. At the services held on Sunday, October third, we were represented by Professor Elden B. Hartshorn.

Announcement has been received of the association of Harry E. Trapp with Fletcher Hale in the practice of law at 613 Main St., Laconia, N. H.

Tom Brennock records a change in address to St. Malachy's rectory, at 239 West 49th St., New York city.

Arthur L. Kinne:—Doc sends in a clipping from the Baltimore Sun showing a series of "Gridiron Talks to Schoolboys" by our own Bud Hoban. The articles show a good picture of Bud at the top, and give credit to him for the development of such stars as Kane of Harvard, Stinson, Gray, and Slagle of Princeton, and others through his work as athletic director of the Gilman School.

D. Basil O'Connor:—Doc reports a change of residence address to 25 East 86th St., New York city. That makes it a new home for each new baby in the family.

Walter B. Elcock:—Jogger is reported as now located permanently in New York with business address care of the Atlas Portland Cement Company, 25 Broadway, and residence on Knollwood Ave., Douglaston, Long Island.

Congratulations are in order to Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Snow on the birth of a daughter, Janet, on August 14.

Also to Mr. and Mrs. Carle Rollins on a new son, Dwight Hall Rollins.

Also to Mr. and Mrs. Harry S. Lowd on the birth of a daughter, Hilda Marion, at Merrimac, Mass., on May 2.

As advised previously, the preparation of a class book, or report, is under way. The financial status of 1912 is not what might be called most encouraging for the financing of this report. This is due to the fact of our having sent the ALUMNI MAGAZINE to every member of our class for the past year and a half, whereas an insufficient number of members have paid class dues for both this year and last year. The book will be published nevertheless, and within the near future there will be sent out not only a financial statement but a questionnaire and request for data for the report. It is confidently expected that the members will respond promptly with the information as well as with remittances from those of 1912 who have not as yet paid their dues and tax.

For the year 1927, considering the expense of our class book report and the necessary expense connected with out Fifteenth Reunion, it will be necessary to curtail all possible outlays. Your executive committee aim with all possible precaution to keep down all expenses as low as possible, not only in connection with class work but particularly with regard to the program of our Fifteenth Reunion. Owing to these facts it will become necessary to discontinue our policy of sending the AXUMNI MAGAZINE to every member of our class and confine same only to those members who pay the class dues. It is to be regretted that this is necessary, but on receipt of the financial statement our members will beyond doubt recognize the necessity of this step.

Wallace T. Jones has already called the FIFTEENTH REUNION COMMITTEE into session, with the result that committees are in the making for the reunion program, costumes, finances, publicity, and entertainment. At Hanover Babe Hartshorn has consented to act there as committeeman to arrange all matters for this big event. At this time it might be stated that the central idea in the minds of the committee is that this occasion will allow of every man of 1912 to be present at Hanover, and to enjoy the opportunity of renewing old friendships under the most pleasing circumstances and at the same time with as little expense as possible above what would be necessary for just the trip and quarters.

Suggestions for reunion or any others matters pertaining to class affairs will be thankfully received.

By the way—You are going to like the costumes—VERY MUCH.

Secretary, 1452 Broadway, New York
