George Currier, Spike Maclntyre, Pete Olds, and Howie Stockwell are to be congratulated on their pep in putting over the class dinner the night before the Harvard game at the University Club in Boston. About thirty-five 'l7ers sat in, and do you know the most common topic of conversation was reminiscences of that TENTH, now a year and a half past. Among the guests from distant points were: Doc Walters from Rochester, Minn., Bill Eaton from Hammond, Ind., Sunny Sanborn from upper Park Ave., Editor Butch from Brattleboro, Vt., Jack Saladine from Hartford, Conn., and Agent Hunk from Nashua, N. H.

Through the mists at New Haven we caught vague glimpses of Walters and Eaton still "on business in the East," Mason, Bob Scott, Arch Earle, Holden-Maclntyre—and Currier, Duhamel, Reycroft, Forry Emery, Buck Stewart, Gerrish, Sherman, and Barber.

Dick Holbrook and Rey Reycroft have already signified that business will demand their presence in Chicago during the Pow Wow, so there's a nucleus for a 'l7 delegation from New England.

More new addresses: Dick Murphy has left Canada, apparently for good this time, and is now with Hamlin Bros., 19 Congress St., Boston.

W. D. "Kippy" Kipp reports his present residence as Westbury, L. I.

Charlie Peters gets back onto the address list as a salesman for the Studebaker Company, 900 Commonwealth Ave., Boston.

ADVENTURES OF SIR OTTO GHETSOM CASHE(<continued)

(Synopsis of preceding verses: Sir Otto, the outstanding painless extractor of the world, has been retained by the class as a financial advisor, and he has set out to organize a championship diggety team.)

Sir Otto met with the class officers between the halves of the Yale game. We were all crouched in comparative comfort underneath a large auto bus.

Quoth Sir Otto, "When our diggety team begins performing before the public, rain checks will be issued," and with great dignity he poured a goodly quantity of water from his two-toned oxfords.

"Now as for the personnel of this team," said the Dook, "your President Aldrich will undoubtedly be selected captain, for 'by degrees' he should develop into an inspiring leader.

"I have tentatively selected Maclntyre and Holden for right and left grave-digger, since they were heard singing in a charming manner some song that went like this, 'Don't bury me at all.'

"Dick Murphy and Sanborn, if not on the first team, will surely be most available substitutes; for no matter how loudly the cheering section might be howling, you would always be able to locate them. The selection of other members is under advisement."

Sir Otto then struck a pose, clamped his jaws together, gave a shake of his head and began, "Men of Dartmouth—"

Here the meeting broke up with cries of "Sign the book! On to Princeton! Sign the book!"
