Class of 1917
During March Editor Butch and Agent Hunk met with the Secretary in Springfield to see that we were all working together on the present financial problem of the class. During the next week the Secretary talked with Treasurer Don on the telephone; and since then there has been considerable correspondence between us all; so that I can assure you that our financial needs, as Agent Hunk is outlining them to you, have been determined only after considerable careful deliberation by your officers. The policy that is being carried out has been approved by all of the officers.
This will be a slim news column this month, because before it goes to press, it is expected that the spring number of the Sentry will have been issued, and the entire editorial staff is concentrating on that.
The itinerant Carl Sweet has pulled stakes from Pittsfield, Mass., and according to rumor has lit in Niagara Falls, still in the interests of The Ross Stores, Inc.
The Dartmouth reports that in the municipal elections held in Hanover this spring, one Clarence W. Cofran '17 was elected town auditor.
On March 20, prominent financial sheets carried the following ad: "F. A. Willard & Co., SO Broadway, New York, announce that Mr. G. Keyes Page has been admitted to our firm as a general partner." It has been impossible to get definite confirmation 'as to whether or not the gentleman is exeditor-of- the-Dartmouth Page or not. A confirmation or denial from the gentleman in question is respectfully requested.
Mudge Mudgett and Ike Telfer supplied the '17 atmosphere on my last visit to the New York Dartmouth Club. Although Mudge is a printer and Ike a dentist, it seemed from their conversation that they were working together-in a business way rather successfully— you know, a boost here and a good word there for each other. It occurred that it might be a paying plan to form 1917, Inc.—Buys anything Sells anything—Makes anything—that is, of course, after we get out of debt.
While rolling over the N. Y., N. H„ & H. recently in a diner, the car suddenly seemed to become a bit lighter and more radiant in back of me. The cause proved to be the entrance of Len Shea and his brilliant smile. Len must have just landed a good order.
Ken Hammond has just changed his address from Omaha to 1157 South Williams St.,, Denver, Colo. Further particulars unknown.
On March 11 James L. Rubel Jr. became a citizen of Chicago and the U. S. A. by virtue of being born on that day. This is number one for Jim; and although his letter of announcement was all typewritten except the signature and made to appear very prosaic it wasn't. It was all full of smiles and pride. Congratulations to Mrs. Jim and old man Rubel!
Secretary, 90 Colony Road, Longmeadow, Mass.
