CLASS OF 1925

These notes, being written the day after the Yale game, can hardly be expected to carry an optimistic tinge, especially as the secretarial mail bag for the past month has been a blank as far as epistles from you classmates are concerned. We will be driven to publishing false reports simply to elicit denials unless matters improve. Some people think we do that as it is.

To get back to the affair at New Haven yesterday between Dartmouth and the sons of Eli, the afternoon was one the dampest and most unpleasant from several points of view ever endured by a Hanover cheering section. The rain varied from a drizzle to a

steady downpour most inconsistently, and so did the game from our point of view, though there were some sunny moments.

Under all these handicaps it was somewhat difficult to learn just who was present. One thinebriate, helping to look for a friend's broer, arose to his feet and remarked confidently, "If he's in the Bowl, I'll find him," After gazing for a moment at the fifty-five thousand spectators he stated with decision, "I don't believe he's here."

Among those located, however, were George Stevens, Bill Boies, Frank Hershey, the inseparables Bill Calvert and Speedy Fleet, Lou Kimball, Ed Hewitt, Dutch Gehring, Chet Wilson, Frank Osgood, Dick Aldrich, Johnny Whitman, El Lyman, Dick Orchard, Howie Megee, Buck Snyder, A 1 Hollenbeck, Stub Dwinell, and the Secretary. Now, I hope some of those omitted will get mad and write me about it.

George Stevens is with a paper manufacturing concern in Philadelphia, and reports that Curt Abel is in the same city with N. W. Ayer and Son. Lee Jamison, who used to be in Philly, has been wandering again, this time to Honolulu, and is now on the coast in the pineapple business.

The engagement of Bob McKennan to Catherine Laycock, daughter of Dean and Mrs. Craven Laycock, has been announced. Bob is at the Harvard Graduate School again this year.

Lou Kimball is engaged to Miss Adeline Muirhead of Haverhill, Mass. She is a graduate of the Connecticut College for Women with the class of 1926.

Doubleday, Doran, and Company published this past fall a book of poems by Alec Laing entitled "Fools' Errand." Though we haven't had the pleasure of reading the volume, we understand much of it is about Hanover.
