The best news of the month for the class 9 is that "Cupe" Adams has come through his first year as class agent by putting the class over the top on our new Alumni Fund plan. The class surely is to be congratulated on the continuance of its one hundred percent record in meeting the college quota, to say nothing of the additional quota which it set itself this year.
The next item of interest to many members of the class was the announcement on June 14 of the engagement of Miss Mary Eunice Bowden, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. P. Prescott of Melrose, Mass., to Frank Schuyler Dodge of Whitefield, N. H. This information was of such interest to many of Frank's 1911 friends living near enough to motor to the mountains that one Saturday night in June several classmates and their wives gathered at the Mountain View, first to make sure that Mary would be acceptable to the class and second to wish them health, happiness, etc. It was immediately evident that there was no doubt regarding the first purpose of their visit. Mary not only is acceptable but she is a most welcome addition. Their second purpose was made easy of accomplishment when the Dodges produced the Punch Bowl, which was properly christened by toasts to the health of the soonto-be bride and groom. Anyhow there is one less bachelor to worry about.
"Slim" Eaton has joined the Chicago crowd, whether or not this seems to be good judgment on his part. He is now vice-president and treasurer of Black and Cornell Mortgage Company,—address 742 Continental and Commercial Bank Building, Chicago. He is still looking for a place to live.

Henry Smith must have moved from Mexico City, since he has been seen back in New York. At present, however, that is all that is known of him.
"Dutch" Hoit left the telephone company in Greenfield, Mass., recently to run itself, long enough for him to reune with his class at Exeter. It has been a long time since we have seen Dutch, and we hope that since he is forming the reunion habit he won't get over it before our 20th.
"Jerry" Barnes sends in a new address as following: 207 Edwards and Wildey Building, Los Angeles, Cal.
Two lost souls have recently been discovered by the Alumni Records office. One is Raymond A. Knapp, First Lieut., C. A. C., U. S. A., whose address is given in care of Adjutant General, Washington, D. C., which means of course that he may be almost anywhere. The other is Bryant R. Turner, from whom we have not heard for years. He has been located at 242 West Washington St., Phoenix,-Ariz. His occupation is chief co-operator, U. S. Veterans' Bureau, Phoenix, Ariz. Here's hoping they will like us well enough to stay with us.
