Class of 1925
It seems good to be writing for the May issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, especially now in the end of a stormy March. That is what we regret most about these alumni notes. They have to be gathered and written four or five weeks before they appear. But even if some of the news contained herein is out of date when published, it nevertheless contains some of what has happened, and the magazine gives a lot of good dope on the College in the other departments which is of more recent date.
We hope a lot of the class will think enough of the AXUMNI MAGAZINE to continue the subscription, which was paid for by the class for one year and which expires in a couple of months.
May I also bring up another point? Time is getting short for the Alumni Fund drive. Don't forget to attend to that much-to-beappreciated contribution, if you have not already done so.
Pete Blodgett has turned to baseball for a pastime now. He made the spring trip with the varsity as a pitcher this year.
George Douglas is another who has represented the College in athletics this year. He was awarded his letter in basketball.
The pledging of William Volkhardt, Jr., to Phi Gamma Delta has been announced.
Herb Talbot, who is among those in the Medical School at Hanover, expresses a more or less universal sentiment as follows: (this was written in March) "Spring seems to have come to Hanover. Spring vacation not yet, but soon. You know what that means. The snow is going; slush—two tons per square yard. By day you get your feet wet and by night you break your neck on the ice, I suppose that you who are far away wish you were back. Well, I'm willing to swap with 70u. I suppose you can't very well print such a blasphemous sentiment as this in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, but in case you do, this is how it is : I figure that four years is just right. You leave, still wishing for more. But when you come back for another year, you miss the rather delicious melancholy of leaving forever, which the rest of the class is enjoying at Commencement, and then come back and find what every alumnus seems to find, that 'it's not what it was in the old days.' I imagine it must be nice to be out and wish you were back. After all, it's a pretty wonderful old place, when all is said and done, and I don't think any of us will ever know its like. Will I see you at Commencement?"
