CLASS OF 1927

Since publishing of the first '27 Tattler quite a number of the gang have loosened up with some news. Keep it coming. However, now that the news is more plentiful we are experiencing another difficulty. Namely, that of assembling the news and presenting it in some interesting manner so that this column will not read like the social notes in the "Bingville Weekly Crier." Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

When the tickets for the Harvard game this year came out we were pretty much disgusted to find that once again our class had drawn seats in the colonnades, and seriously considered starting an investigation to see if it was all in the bag. However, when we awoke on the morning of the game and saw the rain pouring down in sheets we were very glad that the investigation had not been started. In fact we probably had about the best seat in the house. Practically in the middle of the field, up high and with roof over us to offer protection from the elements, so that we could at least keep dry outside. There were quite a few of the class at the game. Dud Bonsai was up from New York, where he is now practicing law. Red Cleaveland, Don Megathlin, Gordon Smith, Monty Cavis, and many others whom we do not recall at present.

The night before the game we had a class dinner at the University Club, which was highly successful. Some thirty members attended, and among them were several we had not seen for some time. Lloyd Eno, who is now located in Boston, Bill Spinney who is now Doctor Spinney, doing excavating and bridgework on people's teeth, and Fred Parker, who is in his last year at Harvard Law. A 1 House was there, and incidentally informed us that we have not as yet got him out of Manchester, N. H., where he was last reported as teaching in this column. As a matter of fact A 1 is and has been for the past two years teaching in the Lynn Classical High School, Lynn, Mass.

Down at the Yale game there were not as many '27 men in evidence, or else we did not happen to be in the right places at the right time. However, we did see Josh Davis over from Albany, Fritz Auer up from New York, and Bill Abbott on from Chicago. Bill is now manager of the Chicago office of the Automatic Signal outfit that makes the stop and go lights which are controlled by gadgets in the street.

Pete Guernsey is now living in Ossining, N. Y., and is in the real estate business with George Howe, Inc., in the metropolis. Pete married Miss Elaine Strandel Palmer on June 23, 1926, and they are the proud parents of a two-year-old son, Peter Jay, born in March, 1927.

Sam Wormser since graduation has been learning the brokerage business with the New York firm of Halle and Stieglitz, and is now a customer's man for this same concern. Sam very kindly sent us the following: "Among those present at the last '27 dinner at the Dartmouth Club of New York were Charlie Townsend, customer's man and puller in with Coombs, Kerr, and Pratt, Ed Fry, at Macy's and married, Bill (J. P.) Williamsstill in the Penn. R. R. freight department, Ted Girault, with the New York Telephone Company in Brooklyn, Ed Roe with the Dry Ice Corporation, and Harold Starbuck with E. A. Pierce and Company, brokers. Ash Margolies is another Macy man, prosperous and a newly-wed. What do they do to the Macy boys? Rumor has it that Ted Rose is also a benedict.

Rog reports that he had just returned from the Yale game where he had a very enjoyable party with Ed Baker, Bob Reinhardt, and Fred Auer after the game. Ed is in his last year at New York University Law School. Bob graduated from Harvard Law last June and is now practicing in New York city, while Fred is at present one of the army of unemployed and is temporarily located in Hanover.

The following from Eddie Redcay: "At present I am happily located in Hanover, taking over Prof. A. D. Wright's work in the education department. I am hoping that I will be here for several years. Recently beat Fred Carver, Jimmie Picken, and Bob Walsh into submission with niblic and score-card. Any classmate dropping in on Hanover and wanting a partner in golf (when said sport is in season) will be gladly and gleefully accommodated. Guaranteed to carry the match to the well known 'l9th Hole.' Fred Auer has been temporarily retained by the College to survey a few roads—actually hespendsmostof his time on the golf course. Outside portal 2 at the Yale game; A1 Chabot, Hugh McGrath, Eddie Knight, Bill Shaw, and yours truly (as well as several insignificant '28-and '29ers) held a little Beta reunion."
