Class of 1925

June, if memory serves us correctly, is the last month for contributions to this year's Alumni Fund. Address your share of the impetus for pushing Twenty-five across the goal line to Woody Wilson, and at the same time drop him a line so that he can pass along to the Secretary some news of you. Woody may be reached by writing on the envelope: G. M. Wilson, 634 Ferne Ave., Drexel Hill, Pa.

Eddie Edwards, our big league representative, started his season off in high style by pitching the Braves to a 7-3 victory over Dazzy Vance and Brooklyn. He also collected for himself a double, later crossing the plate, and made two sacrifices, thereby spreading his story and his picture all over the, next day's Boston Herald sport page.

Andy Edson, now at Harvard, plans.to teach at Clark School next fall, according to our latest news, and then return once again to Cambridge (Mass.) for two years to complete his master's degree.

Gam Rogers, of Daytona Beach, Fla., is doing real estate and contracting and building down there. His young brother is now following in Gam's tracks by swimming the breast stroke for Dartmouth.

The list of things Parker Merrow is running in Center Ossipee, N. H., makes him our champion all-round business man: newspaper, hotel, lumber, and real estate businesses, power plant,, excelsior firm, director of a bank, and influential politician. He didn't go to Tuck School, either.

Ted Ford is with the Windsor, Conn., Trust Company.

Eddie Pease is another banker, being in the auto loan department of the National Shawmut Bank in Boston.

El Waring of Fall River has been married recently, we are told, but unfortunately we have not the name of the young lady. Our congratulations will not be held back on that account, though.

Clif Hill and wife are living in Washington, and Clif plans to perhaps teach a year, possibly at Dartmouth, before completing his degree at Robert Brookings.

The other Hill, Ken by name, still represents Dillon, Read, and Company, but has been shifted to Bridgeport, Conn., where he has headquarters in the First National Bank Building.

While perusing the sporting page of a Springfield paper this spring Nate Bugbee ran across an item notifying the public in general that a gold football had been found bearing the name of Jack Reeder, S. 1920. Nate immediately wrote Jack about it, and Jack got back his watch charm, which he had won when playing with Scott High School in Toledo. It had been missing since a visit to Northampton six years ago.

Twenty-five continues to run away with attendance prizes, or would if there were any such, at the weekly luncheons of the Chicago Association. One meeting we had three times as many present as any other class, and not all of them were in the insurance business, either. At one of the other meetings about the same time Art Dewing read a few of the Hanover poems that Alec Laing and Dick Lattimore '26 wrote and published. And at another one Milt Emerson and Ross Beatty got honorable mention as out-of-town guests, both being temporary visitors to Chicago.

Ford Whelden is getting well established in Detroit. He is now serving as secretary of the alumni association there.

One of those present at the '25 dinner in Hanover which we mentioned last month writes as follows about the gang:

"We had about fifteen of the class at a dinner at the Inn. They are as follows: Francis Brown, who will be here next year,—meaning at College—teaching; Bill Chism will be engineering somewhere; Jack Spring, who will be continuing his medical study somewhere next year; Bill Kelley will show his stuff in the financial world; Ed Childs also going into finance after he finishes Tuck; Frank Akin will teach at Hanover probably; Jim Curry is going to do some graduate work in chemistry; Canfield Hadlock will teach here next year probably; Ty Werner will continue his studies; Win Edgerly will go on with medicine at Columbia; Jack Norris will study medicine somewhere; Steve Ryan would like to stay in Hanover if there were anything to do, rumor has it that he will run a lunch cart on the campus and that Pete Blodgett will tend the fires; Stub Dwinell will not be in Hanover next year, as he is considering missionary work; Brad Foss will be a full-fledged engineer, and since meeting a fair damsel in Europe who lives in Georgia has shown certain leanings towards building bridges in Athens, Ga.; Lane Goss has been in the bank at Hanover, and is now with the Merchants National Bank of Worcester."

Speaking of Worcester, Harold Perkins is there and is reported to be an expert on corsets, Phil O'Connell is in the real estate business, and Russ Fox (married) is making emery wheels. That is a good assortment of business for one town.

Dick Heydt is also a banker (there are more of them in the class than bond salesmen), being with the Cleveland Trust.

A special two-page newspaper entitled the "Red-Top News" and dated April 12, announced the birth of Lucretia Smith, daughter of Stanton K. Smith of Rockford, Ill.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank D. Leffingwell of Upper Montclair, N. J., have announced the engagement of their daughter, Mrs. Ethel L. Sample, to Deke Blodgett, who is with James McCreery and Company of New York city. Mrs. Sample is a graduate of Columbia University.

Our congratulations are extended to all these folks and to Brad Kingman, who was married April 16 to Miss Eleanor Jane Tuttle of Dover, N. H. Brad is planning on teaching next year.

There is no ALUMNI MAGAZINE in July. We plan on getting out a class bulletin this month. To make it worth while we need some news, so sit down NOW, as they say in the magazine ads, and drop a line to the Secretary, telling him the scandal about others at least, if you cannot confess about yourself.

Secretary, Greenwood Inn, Evanston, Ill.
