This column adjourns until the August issue, as there are no more magazines until then, and the material you are now reading is being dashed off just prior to your Secretary's trip to Hanover to the secretaries' meeting, presumably at the expense of the class; at least when this job was offered me that was the proposition, but I have my doubts as to whether Frank Doten will see it that way. There may be a chance that after I get to Hanover, I may be able to shoot some more stuff in and make you homesick for the place and boost the business during the vacation months of the Hanover Inn and Hilton Field. If I am able to do this you may be sure I will try and collect from Mr. Fairfield.
As you hear the beautiful chimes of the New Haven clock it is now 9:00 o'clock, and we are again presenting Caswell Hour. Mr. Caswell himself at the "mike" as follows: "Dear Metz:
"As you see, I am reporting a change of address, which I believe will be more or less permanent, as we have bought ourselves a house. Our growing family drove us to it, and now, being a landowner, I look in all the hardware stores and read up all the seed catalogues. We have a very comfortable home of eight rooms and two baths and a two-car garage, so that any of the boys can park the old bus if they drop around. As soon as we get our guest room finished up we'll be glad to see anyone that comes this way. Rather strange that our land almost backs up to Dick Ludwig's '24. Jack Davis '24 lives just around the corner, and Pete Hurd, the 'famous' Pete, just over the hill. Of course you know this town is full of Dartmouth men. The Newton Dartmouth Club had its annual meeting last Wednesday night, and '23 presented Pete Hurd, Poke Goss, Phil Segal, and myself. Sherm Baldwin was away on a trip selling wool, so couldn't make it.
"I was in Worcester yesterday on businessand called up Ralph Duffy. Duff has takentime off from making his first million totravel down to Florida and get a pre-seasontan. He reported feeling fit."I might report that 4-Button Mackedonand side-kick Steve Knight are seen bowlingin Boston on Wednesdays. They come upfrom Brockton, the shoe city.
"I almost ran Doc Morgan down whilecoming home the other night from work. He doesn't know it yet, for I shot across his bow at an intersection down in Brookline, where Doc holds sway in the real estate business.
"As you well know, Metz, these three- months-old babies arise early so that we have to get in some sleep while we are able, so will say 'Au revoir.'
"Sincerely, "TED CASWELL."

According to my records Ced Swett has no children, but this may not be so, inasmuch as a year has passed since his marriage to Ella G. Sowers and statistics indicate that a year is ample time for most of my correspondents to get a start towards a family. After he left college Ced worked in the ship chandlery business, then took a turn at farming, a crack at selling Cadillacs, and is now factory representative for the Chevrolet Motor Company, living in the Heywood Apartments, Houlton, Me.

He got his training the same places that Hopkins did, at least his medical training. The Browns can be found at 90 Rockland St., Springfield, Mass.
Kirch Holt has dispensed with that black and white mongrel that used to follow him around, and devotes his time between the Providence Lying-in Hospital and his charming fireside, presided over by his wife Phyllis, since 1926 in the month of July. This fireside is located at 35 Ledyard Road, Hartford, Conn.
Introducing our only Boston Baked Bean manufacturer, Walter A. Friend, who has his beanery only a stone's throw from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Friend, at 25 Pilgrim Road, Melrose, Mass. This beanery is a model of cleanliness and a source of a most appealing aroma. A good plate of beans contains more vitamins than any sirloin steak into which you ever sank your fangs; and if you believe this is so, when you next order beans be sure to specify Friend's Boston Baked Beans.
It has been some time since word has been received from one of those who helped Florida boom, and such a one is Bob Haggart, who has now returned to North Dakota, presumably a sadder and wiser man. Bob is connected with a construction concern. His address is Fargo, N. D., 1115 Bth St., South. So far as I know our only ironmonger is Milton G. Wolfe, vice-president of the Jones Iron Works. Mr. and Mrs. Wolfe live at 696 Lafayette Ave., Buffalo, N. Y. As this is written I am reminded of the Sportsman's Club in Buffalo, where I was once relieved of my roll and my watch; also I am glad to be able to say that the watch was later recovered. For Mrs. Wolfe's sake, I hope Milt does not frequent this hell-hole.
C. Wendell Freeman, Mabel Jones Freeman, and little John Wendell Freeman make their headquarters at 1214 Fairmont, N.W., Columbus, Ohio, where Wendell practices medicine, after training received at Howard and at Freedmen's Hospital.

Y., and helps out with the employment work of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of New York. Just after he graduated he was assistant, Bureau of Personnel Research, at Hanover. Red will be remembered by those who were at the Big Fifth as a fellow who had changed considerably since his undergraduate days, but what more can you expect from a man who travels 26 states.
G. H. Craemer got his engineer's degree, C.E., at M. I. T. '26, and went to work for the city of Hartford, engineering department. During the fall of last year, however, he found time to woo and win Miss Rose Anne Daly, and they were married and went to live at 358 Fern St., West Hartford, Conn.

It is hard to say anything about Ira M. Dixon without calling up memories of the Big Fifth. It was Dixon who originated the battle cry "Hooper-Dooper," and it was Dixon who operated the fire siren, and it was Dixon who threw a bottle all the way from Hitchcock Hall to the old pine. It was also Dixon who turned night into day with his half of the loud conversation which he conducted from his room with some friend of his in Norwich; but to get back to facts again, this gentleman is house officer in West Surgical Service, Massachusetts General Hospital. Prior to this he got his ticket at Harvard and was a first lieutenant in the Medical Department of O. R. C. Dixon's work at Harvard was exceptionally good.

After looking forward to the secretaries meeting referred to above ever since I heard about the free transportation, a check-up of time tables has disclosed the bad news that your Secretary would have to be away six days in order to attend these meetings, which only occupied a few hours' time; so you will have to rely for news of this event on other sources than your faithful servant, who takes this opportunity to wish you all a pleasant summer, free from the harassing influences of snoopers and Jones law enforcement officers.
Secretary, Sycamore Place, Highland Park, Ill
