Class of 1926

1926 AFTERTHOUGHTS

These notes, classmates, are apt to be an aftermath after preparing something in the way of a bulletin. A few items, however, seem worthy of repetition. Foremost, perhaps, is the fact that as physical director of the Douglas High School, Douglas, Ariz., Johnny Greene feels the weight of isolation. It would be in order to write this Pat Kaney of the Southwest. Maybe we can discover a new way to health via the Greene method.

Noteworthy also is the fact that Chappie Jones has persisted in commuting forty-five miles to the University of Pittsburgh Law School. I maintain that this is the true pursuit of the profession, a marathon in fact.

At this date the East lost Ritchie Smith, who is now in the Pacific Coast fold of Ginn and Company. Says a '26 man of this event, "What the East loses the West gains."

It goes without saying that H. Harwood, holder of the 1926 title for Class Lothario, showed improved technique and advanced finesse during the recent spring dances at Northampton. Which doesn't account for the fact that Hub recently took honors in an architectural contest for his design of a filling station.

Abner Oakes should be doing better in medical school now that his tonsils are removed. You know what tonsils will do for a man. I hope Abner has forgiven your secretary for calling him Frank Poor the last time I saw him. (Editor's Note: Mr. Webster's lapse in this respect may be explained by the fact that the last time he saw Mr. Oakes was one evening during the Winter Carnival, just passed, so it's all right, Frank.)

Our chance to fool the Alumni Fund committee by surpassing our quota for 1928 has now arrived. Leap to the check book, men, and don't keep Sid waiting.

Dan and Sally Drury announce the birth of a second son in Cleveland. 1950 up!
