CLASS OF 1928

For the first time in its brief graduate history the youngest class breaks heterogeneously into print. The assortment of items below have come from any and all sources, and the accuracy of many may be questioned; however, at this stage of the game anything is news to the Secretary, and accordingly finds its way to these columns.

During an early fall visit to Hanover, I saw Coach Phillips in action as well as in conference with Coach Hawley. Phil Sherman was there getting the latest reports in mimeographed form to each of his twelve papers. On the side, Phil is accepting, with Monty Wells, an M. A. in the department of education. Ralph Church introduced me to his fiancee whose name I can't remember, yet who is a very good reason why Ralph must be congratulated most heartily. Just as I was leaving, A 1 Fusonie arrived to get the latest plays before trying them out on his Taft School team.

Jack Phelan writes that Jack McAvoy is planning to remain in the bond business for two years before entering Penn Law School. Jack himself is rooming with Bob MacPhail and going to Harvard Law School between trips to Pomfret. The other two room mates are Johnnie O'Sullivan and Lane Dwinell. They all guarantee a warm reception and possibly night's lodging at Suite 1, 1610 Massachusetts Ave. Jack says it's all right— that they never have to study. Ted Foster, Ed Lyman, Hazen Sturtevant and A 1 Willey are also on the Law School register. Sam Dennis is working with the Harvard Economic Society at Cambridge, while Dick Rockwell, Ham Hagar, Abe Kerr, Makie Makepeace, Bob Morrison, Don Norris, Frank Tindle, Dick Lee, and Shep Shepard are at the Business School there.

Bob Nespor worked in a lumber yard all summer while going to summer school, and is taking graduate work at Harvard preparatory to medicine. Fred Cole is at B. U. Business School, Dan Knight at Tufts, Bill Flynn at Lehigh, A 1 Drake doing graduate work at Columbia, while a few of those at Hanover are Jeff Glendinning, Walt McKee, Johnnie Kenerson, Charlie Scott, Parker Noyes at Tuck School, Maurice Binley, Tim Paige at Thayer School, Dick Blickensderfer, Gerry Cetrulo, Ralph Turner, John Mason, Rocky Keith, Buck Serrell, and Doc Dowlin at the Medical School. Pren Bradley is working with Mr. Larson, the College architect.

At the present writing, Cud Gardner and Honie Westhaver are on the track of two very fine jobs,—Honie says that the dope is to start at the bottom and work up. Rappie Bavier and Frank Thurston are in the paper business. Phil Orsi is with the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, Tommy Ellis with the Worthington Pump Machinery Company, and Ralph Rickenbaugh in the Sales Promotion Division of Cadillac Motors.

Mai Beal has sailed for Syria, where he will teach English at the American University of Beirut. Fred Burleigh is the museum assistant at Hanover. Joe Tidd is teaching at Haverhill High School, and Champ Webster is assistant principal of the West Lebanon High School. Joe Smith is at the Indian River School, New Smyrna, Fla., George Sanborn is at Phillips Andover, where he prepared for Dartmouth, Bill Waters at the Cobbet Junior High at Lynn, Mass., and Frannie Tower is at the Warren High School at Newton, Mass., Howie Rogers is a member of the psychology department at Dartmouth.

On the twenty-eighth of last month, the Boston members of the class held a dinner, which preceded a smoker given by the Boston Alumni Association. Ted Howard, who is soon to work his way around the world as a deck hand, Chuck Crosby, Craig Haines, Babe Shaw, Honie Westhaver, Larry Martin, Loren Taylor, Larry Sleeper, Jud Moulton, Parker Chick, Maurice Makepeace, Spinoza Paeff, who recently played over the radio, Fish Bradford, Free Cole, Ed Lyman, Johnnie O'Sullivan, Ted Foster, A 1 Willey, Hal Moody, John Nixon, Gene Andres, Gene Magenis, Joe Tidd, Joe Kelly, who is at B. U. Medical, Art Lane, Don Norris, Hazen Sturtevant, Jule Lemkin, John McGrath, George Hansis, Chuck Goodman, another Harvard Business man, Ham Hagar, Monk Davenport, Cud Gardner, Rappie Bavier, Frank Thurston, Frank Crowley, Dick Canton, Rupe Thompson, Dick Welch, Nibs Dow, Irving Engelman, Bob MacPhail, and Jack Phelan were all there. Since Vic Cutter and Bucky Chandler were the speakers, it is unnecessary to repeat that the evening was extremely enjoyable.

This morning's mail brought the announcement of Bruce Lewis' wedding on July 14 to Ernestina Virginia Carson. This leads me to say that I hope the rest of the prospective bridegrooms in the class, as time goes on, will place the Secretary's name on lists of that sort, in order that the class will receive the latest announcements.

Weekly dinners are being held in Boston at the Ambassador Restaurant, 41 Winter St., on Thursdays at 12:15 P. M. These have been very enjoyable affairs, and everyone who happens to be in Boston on that day should report on time. In addition to this, the class held a dinner on the evening before the Harvard game at the University Club. The dinner preceded the Boston Alumni Association smoker, which was held at the Boston City Club.

Jack Phelan wishes to publish the state of the treasury. Look it over carefully.

I hope that after reading this account, if it may be dignified by that name, you will realize that the class as a whole is as interested in your activities as you are in what the others of the class are doing. And, if you will take the time now to write a short note to the class through me, you will be more than repaid by the volume of information available. At any rate—best of luck.

Dartmouth. Club of Georgia

The Dartmouth Club of Georgia gathered at the Winecoff Hotel in Atlanta, for the celebration of Dartmouth Night. Though some of the older men have left this section there appear to be enough of the younger ones who favor it, to keep our strength about the same. We mixed a very good feed with songs of the old College, and news as sent out in the Bulletin and the Dartmouth, joining the many others absent from the Campus in sending our best wishes to those gathered there. A letter received from Ben Read, Jr., who entered College this year from Atlanta, gave us the latest news and his impressions, all excellent reading.

After eating, a business meeting was held. Previous to the meeting, it was brought to the attention of the Club that the Georgia Inter-Scholastic Athletic Association would be without a football trophy this year. The previous trophy was won by Riverside School at Gainsville, for permanent possession, having been donated by Georgia alumni of Princeton about seven years ago. Through the efforts of "Chuck" Palmer, the offer of our Club to donate another trophy was accepted, and the method of procuring it was discussed and action taken at this meeting. We believe that a trophy has been obtained which will carry the fame of the College into new sections of the State, as it must be won three times by a school to become permanent, and it should do some travelling before that is accomplished. Other business of the meeting included the re-election of Charles F. Palmer, 'lB, as president of the club, and election of Frederic P. Lowe, 'l5, as secretary.

We adjourned after singing the Song, with thoughts of those fortunates in Hanover.

Secretary, 70 Mt. Vernon St., Melrose, Mass.
