CLASS OF 1917
1917's special correspondent in Europe, Hal Tobin, sent us a long letter last month.
"A bunch of journalists here in Switzerland recently asked me to a dinner and afterwards to visit the caves of a wine grower up the lake. I thought of you and others as I gazed on rows and rows of 100 litre tonneaus, and as we tested some of his vintage of 1905.
"I went to Italy during Christmas vaca- tion, and had an interview with Mussolini's minister of agriculture. Mussolini is probably the most talked of man in Europe. He's worthy of respect both for what he has done for Italy and his apparent personal disinterestedness.
"Went to St. Moritz after, where poten- tates are as thick as the falling snow. I have never seen such boundless opportunities to spend money. Switzerland has passed a law permitting gambling, and every hotel is running tables now. Thousands of Germans are around, all spending freely.
"Working for another set of exams now, and in the summer expect to go to Geneva for a thesis. Home in October probably."
We'll keep an eye out for you at the football games, then, Tobe, and thanks for the letter.
While in the New York Dartmouth Club recently we were recognized and greeted by Russ Willis and Duey Duhamel. Russ had a date, and so we can't report beyond the fact that he was looking healthy and prosperous. Duey, who is living there at the club now, settled down in a big chair and we went back to Hanover for a couple of hours. He is selling glass to the building trade in and about Manhattan.
Leon Cone is still working westward, and has left Minnesota to settle in Los Angeles, Cal. His present address is care of Brown- Bevis Company.
Doug Fleming reports his mailing address as back again at Powder House Boulevard, West Somerville.
Dr. Sandy Lynch reports Pittsburgh, Pa., once more as his business and residential address.
Dan Harris, although still with the W. W. Sly Company, has moved from Springfield, Mass., to Shaker Heights Village, Ohio.
THE BUNGHOLE
(Since the secretary's office is the central exchange for all sorts of information between 'l7ers, this column will be maintained for printing the most interesting tidbits. Any reasonable requests which members of the class desire broadcasted will be printed.)
"I am having a lot of trouble with my automobile. The upkeep is very expensive. What do you advise?
"BUNNY HOLDEN."
"Buy a Nash and your troubles will be over.
"It is a Nash. BUNNY."
"808 PAINE."
"I claim a record in that I brought a comb and hair brush to Hanover with me in 1913, and that same comb and brush are being used by me today, still in perfect condition.
"BALDY TRIER."
"That's nothing. I didn't even bring a comb and brush when I came to college.
"MAC SWITZEB."
"Will the man who removed a sheepskinlined coat from 10 So. Fayer in February, 1915, inadvertently, please send it back to me by express collect, and no questions will be asked.
"DICK MIJRPHY."
Secretary, 90 Colony Road, Longmeadow, Mass.
