Class of 1915
The New York crowd wish to broadcast the announcement that any classmate who is in that city on the second Wednesday of the month will find food, shelter, and good fellowship awaiting him at the Columbia University Club, 4 West 43rd St. Dick Clarke writes that this dinner is a regular monthly date, and that it is only necessary to mention Russ Livermore's name to the door boy to gain admittance. Don't neglect to plan your business itineraries so that you will be in New York on the second Wednesday of the month.
Hal Corwin has been jumping around quite a bit the last few years and every time he jumps he goes up,—the proper direction. Starting with the Commonwealth Trust Company of Boston, he became teller of the First National Bank of Gardner, and is now cashier of the new Rockingham National Bank at Exeter, N. H. Ev Lamson should be able to introduce him to the town's leading politicians.
Thornt Pray emerges from out the smoke screen of Scranton, Pa., to advise the good health of the family. Thornt was anticipating a stroke of some description when his wife returned from a shopping tour in New York city. Thornt says that both his children read and write "after a fashion," which is a mighty good thing, as the comparison has forced Thornt to use a typewriter.
The other day the mail contained a strip of headlines torn from an edition of the New York Herald-Tribune. I had no interest in the fact that "ISO Yr. Old Brandy Sells For $20 a Bottle—in Tiflia," but investigation showed that Leon Aronowitz, statistician of the Motor Vehicle Bureau, spoke before a Safety Congress recently held in Albany, N. Y.
Leon Williams has been seen in and about New York city recently, but did not make good his threat to come to Boston. Leon's letterheads indicate that he operates from Denver as a C. P. A.
Not so long ago the statement was printed that Russ Chase was the tallest University Club vice-president in the country. This is no longer a fact,—he is now the tallest University Club president.
Leo Burt has forsaken Chicago and makes his headquarters in Hartford. However, he shows up in Springfield now and then.
Paul and Sally Vining had a bridge party the other night, entertaining Shrimp Williams and Chick Grant, who is one of John D. s hired men. The box score was not announced.
Greg Lyon has just completed a foreign tour, and therefore qualifies for our Travel Club. By way of introduction it might be well to state that besides being a successful leather merchant Greg is a gentleman farmer and school committeeman of Marblehead, so it is but fitting that he should investigate business and educational systems on the continent. At least that is Greg's explanation, consequently he covered England, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, and Paris. However, of more importance is the fact that there is a young lady in Greg's, household who, although only six months of age, shows collegiate tendencies.
It is said that Tom Hanson is now located in Pepperell, Mass., where he is manufacturing cotton fabrics and materials.
Gov Jordan was advised that his name would be mentioned in these columns if he would write a letter to the Secretary. No letter having been received to date Gov will be given an extension of time or suspended sentence.
Samuel Brinton Shoemaker was married to Miss Roslyn Morey at Lakewood, N. J., April 13. They are living at Meadowbrook, Pa.
Shrimp Williams has been having hard luck with his new Coupe. First, his car came out second best in a bumping contest, and when, after replacing everything but the spark-plugs, someone lifted the spare tire while the car was parked in front of the police station, Shrimp says that it now has a bob-tailed appearance. One guess as to the maker's name. There may be some relation between this incident and Ray King's resignation from the Springfield Police Commission.
During the past Lenten season Dick Merrill was heard regularly on the air. No doubt many were not aware of this fact, as Dick conducted the early morning watch service sponsored by the Boston Y. M. C. A. It has but recently come to light that he was also in Hanover a short time ago and occupied the chapel pulpit for four days, after which he preached in Toronto. A return visit to Canada is scheduled, which leads us to remark that this profession offers possibilities and opportunities.
In another section of this magazine you will find a notice of the death of one of our classmates, William Francis Magruder.
For the benefit of those who enjoy undergraduate publications we would recommend the 1926 Aegis. The Aegis is now a senior annual publication, and as an additional feature Frank Collier has contributed a full page cartoon depicting the success of the football team during the past season.
Acknowledgment is given of the receipt of the pre-reunion publication of the class of 1886 and the post-reunion news of the class of 1905. Both are interesting and well edited.
Secretary, 24 Federal St., Boston
