CLASS OF 1917

'l7 MAN ARRESTED AS BANDIT Back in September there was a bank robbery down in Texas, and word was sent out to the police all over the U. S. to be on the lookout for the bandits. It was thought that they had escaped by airplane. Two days later a plane from Texas landed at Toptown, Pa. It contained four men and the pilot, W. T. Ponder. They were at once placed under arrest and held in the local jail over night. Mr. Ponder, who is our own "Bill," protested vigorously; but nobody in the Pennsylvania town could understand him because of his strange Texas accent, and they had to make the best of it in the hoosegow. The next morning it was established that the Toptown, Pa., police had made a mistake, and the party was identified as four big oil men from Texas, who had chartered the plane from the Ponder Flying Service of Fort Worth, Texas, with Bill Ponder in person as pilot, to fly them to New York on a sight-seeing expedition. The party then took off for the Newark Airport and proceeded without further trouble.

BANKER KINGSBURY

Stan Kingsbury has retired from the leather game, and is now working out of Worcester for the investment banking house of Estabrook and Company. He is maintaining his residence in Shrewsbury, Mass.

TRANSIENT SALADINE

Jack Saladine, still with the Arrow, Hart and Hegeman Electric Co., has moved from the Boston office back to the main office at Hartford, Conn.

HAL TOBIN AT COLUMBIA

I know that sounds like the title of a Frank Merriwell book; but what it really means is that Tobe has won for himself a Carnegie fellowship in international law, and will be at Columbia for this year at least. He is living out in Scarsdale.

FOOTBALL ANNOUNCEMENTS

So many of the crowd at the Yale game make use of the New York special that goes back right after the game, that a strictly '17 party on a large scale can't be worked out. It has been suggested, however, that all those who are staying in New Haven for dinner get together in the class section between the halves. This ought to offer possibilities of one of those impromptu parties that usually turn out pretty well.

Of course the California crowd are offering all sorts of enticements to encourage business trips, honeymoons, or just mere pleasure trips for that Stanford game. Special round trip rates will be available.

The Cambridge-Dartmouth-1917 Lunch Club will make their usual efficient arrangements for a 1917 dinner the night before the Harvard game. It will be held as heretofore at the University Club, which is within a few blocks of the Back Bay and Huntington Ave. stations. If you are going to the Harvard game, make plans to be in town Friday evening, send your wife to the movies or over to cousin Mary's, and make for the University Club soon after six. Each year we have a bigger turn-out and a better time.
