CLASS OF 1928
Today is Sunday, and yesterday was the date of the famous Brown-Dartmouth set-to, as a result of which the superiority of the Indian was even more conclusively established. But be that as it may, the '28 contingent was minute, one might even say nonexistent—and the Secretary had hoped for thousands that the current news inventory might swell. At any rate, after trying for five miles to pass the Secretary's Ford on the Bos- ton to Providence trip Treasurer Jack Phelan managed to pull up along side in his noisy Franklin and give a hail. Confidentially, Jack is in fine shape and is enjoying work in the law office of Somebody and Somebody of 19 Milk St., Boston. He says that the ten-dollar-aweek stipend is ample for all his needs. As we were pulling away Jack admitted that he hated to see dear old Brown licked, so he was going to turn off in a short while and head for Pomfret, where Head Coach MacPhail an he were to direct another important game of a second victorious season.
Johnny Flanagan writes from Philly that the '2B outfit there is very much on the ball— regular monthly dinners bring together Bill Williams, Dick Frame, Ernie Wright, Jack McLaughlin, and Class Prexy J. McAvoy. Advance dope indicates that the week-end of November 30—Navy Game—will be very large, and that the '2B outfit down there wel- comes the rest of '2B, promising much. Dick Frame has shown the class movies at the last meeting, which prompts me to say that anyone of the class can get the film from the Alumni Office for such occasions, and will find it very interesting.

On October 30 the family arrived back home, and the "family" is a small and healthy girl. Bill was married to Emelyn Taylor on December 30, 1927. He is in the statistical department of the New York Life Insurance Company, and says that things are going along in great shape, especially since it looks as if his shoes will hold out a month longer.

Secretary, 69 Maynard St., Pawtucket, R. I
