Class of 1923

Our third reunion takes place this June It is the first third reunion we ever had, and likewise is the last third reunion we will ever have. In famous last words: "What are you going to do about it?" We'll make t'he plans, and all you will have to do is come. By way of a slogan we'll call it our Thrifty Third, and that ought to clear away a lot of obstacles. If you are unlike the rest of us you will drop a line immediately and make it plain as to the possibility of your esteemed presence. Please get out your pen while the postage is still two cents for firstclass mail. It will really be first class mail to us.

It appalls a class as young as ours to hear of the death of any of its members. Bart Connelly's separation from us was a great sorrow, and now comes the announcement of the demise of Edmond Macdona Esquerre. I would not undertake to estimate the number of fellows that feel more than ordinary loss, but 1 do know this: that there was no one more generally liked than Eddie among the host of friends that he had made through his qualities of being a "regular guy." In commiserating his family the futility of our words is translated into deep sentiment, for they come truly from our heart.
