Class of 1925
Some fifty of the class returned to Hanover for the Third Reunion. It was an excellent party and the committee is to be thanked and congratulated. Everyone had a good time and the reunion was free from all cares except the necessity of getting back to work and waiting for the Fifth to come around.
The festivities opened Friday night when the class of 'lB very kindly gave a dance in the Little Theatre which most of the Twentyfivers attended. Saturday morning the class as a baseball team suffered defeat from the 1923 nine in spite of the sterling work of Commodore Blodgett as pitcher.
In the afternoon almost everyone took in the library dedication exercises, at which Dwight Morrow spoke. This was by way of warming up for the banquet, dinner, or tea, which was held later at the Villa Clara farm and at which very few formal speeches were made. There was also another dance at the Little Theatre.
There was some question Sunday about attending the baccalaureate sermon, but the coin did not stand on edge so a picnic at Shanty Shane was substituted. Baseball, swimming, and divers other forms of entertainment concluded a happy week-end.

Freddy Sabourin turns up as superintendent of production for the Prairie Oil and Gas Company in Webb City, Oklahoma. This comparatively young state appears in our voluminous files as one of the fastest growing in the Union, a fact which we attribute in large measure to the fairly constant flow of '2O men in that direction.
Warrie Chamberlain, erstwhile vendor of advertising for the New Yorker, is now luxuriating among the velvets of Collins and Aikman Corporation, makers of Ca-Vel at 25 Madison Ave., New York. A job which Warrie himself would doubtless be first to call just "so much velvet."
Silk, on the other hand, is the specialty of Jim Reber, who is a hosiery dyer for the Liberty Dye Works, Inc., of Reading, Pa., manufacturers of ladies' full-fashioned hose.
Charlie Sargent, who is zone manager for the Masonic Service Bureau up Boston way, is also up to his old tricks as captain and regimental adjutant of the 241 st Regiment, Coast Artillery. Herb Mills has a similar connection of importance, being in charge of National Guard flying at Brainard Field, Hartford, Conn.
