Class of 1923
By the time this issue arrives you will have received the first real dope on the "BIG FIFTH". Plans are all made and what we want now is a record turn out. This can be accomplished if the gang will talk it up all along the way. The committees in back of the reunion are working hard and promise a program never before equaled in Hanover. Here are the boys behind it all. They'll all be there—Will you?

More information—such as a definite program for each day—will be forthcoming from committee headquarters. The following letter from Roy Height to Frank Doten contains a bit of information regarding a few of the boys :
"March 19, 1928.
"Dear Frank: "I think I had better send this off before I get back home and start spending my own money instead of the company's. I am just returning from a three months' jaunt around the country. Saw Shep Hilton in Dallas, where he is managing his brother's Hilton Hotel—Nate Carver in Bellingham, Washington, where he has a lumber company making little ones out of the big trees: Peyt Hawes, in Spokane, where he is sales manager of the Spokane Drug Co. Incidentally, all are interested in the Fifth. Also saw Bill Gratz in St. Paul. He is assistant to the Credit Manager of the First National there.
"Unless I am away on another transcontinental jaunt at the time (which is quite likely) I expect to be there.
"Sincerely yours, Roy Height."
At this time I might add that those who have failed to pay their dues would help considerably \if they would kick through. At present our treasury is in a very weakened condition and the necessary cash for reunion publicity is coming out of the pockets of a few members of the committee. Make a check out for $3.50 today and mail it to Frank Doten, 115 Glenwood Rd., Somerville, Mass.
Joe Millar expects to graduate from the veterinary department of the University of Penna this June, and will go in practice with his father immediately.
Joe Pick has written a class song purposely for the "BIG FIFTH" and has ordered five hundred copies printed at his own expense. I have heard it played (not by myself) and it's very O. K. and easy to learn. Joe did this entirely on his own hook and deserves a vote of appreciation from the class. He is going abroad this month so will be unable to be present at commencement.
Here are the words : Come men of nine-teen twen-ty-three, Let's sing a song of praise; 'Tis to our class we'll sing our song To her our voic-es raise, Our motto be it Bro-ther-hood, Our pledge by loy-al-ty: We'll face to-ge-ther ev-'ry strife As one fra-tern-i-ty.
And if in years that are to come Our lives go devious ways: Let's not forget the ties that bind us To our yes-ter-days Let friend-ships made be friend-ships kept; And these let sa-cred be, To ev-'ry member in the class of Nineteen Twen-ty-three.
The "BIG FIFTH" is less than two months off the event we've been waiting five years for let's put it over in true '23 fashion and live up to our reputation—The biggest and most loyal class that ever entered Dartmouth.
