Read 'em and weep!!!! 5th Reunion announcements were sent to over 550 members of the class on October 28, together with a postal to be filled out and returned to the committee. To date (November 5, 1930) we have received some 61 responses, and we trust that the next issue will report a much better showing.
Carl Allen wins the electric pajamas for being the first to return his card. Carl will not bring his wife to reunion, and is doubtful of his chest and waist measurements. Outside of that he'll be on hand next June, and is right in there, as usual.
The committee readily admits its inability to distinguish any one member of the class by his individual avoirdupois or handwriting. Amos and Andy's "kistal grazer" is not one of us. Hence, the fact that 12 men have thus far returned cards fully filled out but lacking signatures is like a moral victory over Yale. You can't do much with it. So, to all those who have returned cards without signing, may we ask that they put the following information on a card and return to the 5th Reunion Committee, 84 Hawthorne Ave., East Orange, N. J. DON'T FORGET TO SIGN!!!! Do you plan to attend the sth Reunion? If married, would you bring your wife? What do you consider a fair class tax? Give height chest waist and hat
measurements. State any personal suggestions you may have.
To "Perk" St. Clair, we award a bulletproof vest, F. 0. B. Chicago, for the most practical suggestion. Them Phi Bete keys apparently do mean something.
Of the 61 replies received, 44 are definite that they will be at the 5th. Only eight are definite in reverse order, while nine indicate that they will be there if Vox Clamantis in Deserto is heard calling.
Jack Tarr and "Red" Boyce want to know where they can get in touch with "Tiny" Marsans, while "Fat" Toohey's suggestion is "a mooring mast for Tiny." Tiny's address is 63 Hawthorne Ave., East Orange, N. J. The mooring situation may be adequately furnished by "Ted" Revoir. Toohey also admits his measurements are subject to change without notice. Draw your own conclusions, we would say, but after all this is not a Loudmouth.
Three members of the committee, Bill Hughes, Charlie Bishop, and yours truly, spent the week-end of the Columbia game in Hanover, and in addition to rounding up pointers for reunion, we visited the new Tuck School, Sanborn—the new English Building, new dormitories, hockey rink, and several new fraternity houses. All of which reminds us of that old story, "You wouldn't know the old place now." Take our word for it, and plan to see Hanover in all its glory in June of 1931, when you can renew old acquaintances and make many new ones. Pill out those cards and return them at once to the committee, or if you have misplaced the card, put the information in letter form. The committee will try to make this a big affair, but we can't do it without the help of the entire class. Get that Everett-Hayward-Marsans spirit.
Yours in 1926,
BRANT WALLACE,Chairman, sth Reunion Committee.
