Bill Hoard, who keeps the American Cow contented through the medium of Hoard's Dairyman, was in the office recently. Bill says he will arrive in Hanover on the Chicago Special, dead or alive in time for "The Tenth of the Century."
Louis Munro is back from Europe and reports reunion affairs moving along in great shape. Over one hundred are signed up and half that many wives.
Louis sent me letters from Jim Wilson, Salem, Ohio; Jackson L. Carmell, Maiden, Mass.; and A. V. Goldiere, Davidson, N. C.
Jim Wilson reports a number of boys who are taking in the "Tenth." They are Red McCleery, Ben Wiley, Sam Ewert, Mose Robinson, Johnny Kunkle, and Joe Eisaman.
Jack Cannell newly appointed head coach of football writes Louis to tell him he will be at a Dartmouth 'l9 luncheon but that it will be impossible to make him say anything. We feel very grown up since a "Nineteener" has been appointed head coach, and somewhat proud. And we feel sure we can say to him that Nineteen will be one hundred per cent behind him win, lose or draw. And here's hoping they're all wins.
Goldy writes to say he cannot make Commencement because he will be in Spain. He is an associate professor of Spanish at Davidson College, and is going over this summer to see if it is really possible anybody can talk such nonsense.
Bob Paisley saw Jack Ross at Easter time and reports Jack is accounting for things with Ernst & Ernst in Boston. He also saw Herb Fleming and both are attending the "Tenth."
Reports from Hanover have it that Bill McCarter will spend the summer teaching the young idea how and what to shoot in points East of le Harve. Bill's summer activities call to mind the little Jewish lad who, because there were no other schools, attended a parochial institution. One of the Sisters asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up and he answered without hesitation, "In the cloak and suit business during the week and a priest on Sunday." We would like to be a school teacher during the summer.
"The Tenth of the Century" is going ahead grandly. Things are pretty well organized and sound terrifically entertaining. All you have to do is send back promptly all the return cards the Committee sends you. Then get on the train and be there when the shooting starts. Apparently everybody is coming.
