CLASS OF 1916
On May 22 nineteen of the Balmacaan gathered for dinner at the University Club in Boston. Cliff Bean gave one of his peppy get-together talks, and stirred the boys up with some class interest. This latter has been lacking a bit lately. Then Jack English followed with an oration on "Prohibition and the Irish Free State." After that we all heard the Glee Club broadcast from the Campus. In addition to the speakers, there were present Bailey, Bernkopf, Bobst, Carleton, Coffin, Cutler, Fiske, Fenno, Little, Gran Fuller, Jardine, Morse, Gene McQ., Walker, Holmes, and Story.
Rog Evans wrote me that he'd be at the dinner, but did not show up. He did, however, send me a lot of news: Bob Burlen, who now lives in Newton, has "become associated in an executive capacity with Metropolitan Radio Productions in preparation and presentation of radio programs." Bobby had a very long write-up headed, "WEEI toLose Crack Announcer."
Among the speakers at the General Motors Export Company's meeting of managing directors recently held in Shawnee-on-Delaware, Pa., was Ed Riley, managing director of General Motors Continental, Antwerp.
Our treasurer, Perc, is now with the Dindee Textile Company in the big city. Rog says he has a title, but keeps it concealed.
Leigh Rogers is chief of the Foreign Aeronautics Section of the Department of Commerce.
Rog saw Bill Banton, the Bangor manager of the Mutual Life of New York, a while ago down in Maine. Bill gave him a meal at the Old Bangor House, and then tried to scare him to death by driving him all over the countryside at seventy miles per hour in his new Peerless.
Hobie Marble is now insuring people under the name of Ayer and Marble in Fitchburg, Mass.
A note the other day arrived form Chet Woolworth. He is still the Animal Trap Company of America, Lititz, Pa.
Phil Lewis stepped off the other day with Miss Elizabeth Gorham Garfield of Newton and Gloucester, Mass. The bride was graduated from Vassar, and the groom is a member of the Balmacaan A. C. of Boston.
We will close by rising to sing the Chi Phi Song, ending with a Phi—Del—Tah—Theta for the following:Miss Margaret Parkhurst (June 1) Emmet Nicholson Larimer (April 18) Herbert Lincoln Fenno, 2d (June 28)
Secretary, 636 Hospital Trust Bldg., Providence, It. I
