CLASS OF 1929

But for a personally conducted foraging party that papoose we spoke of last month would have gasped and died forlorn. However, the month had its bright spots, two in particular. Over the week-end of October 12 we tried to do some hunting up there in the hill country. We made Hanover in time to see three periods of the B. U. game and the entire College seated face to face with that riot of hill-color across from the stadium. That evening we met Charlie Dudley and Benjie Leavitt in Charlie's store, and received minute instructions as to where to find the birds on the morrow; we went to the movies with Freddie Breithut, Tom May nard, Red Kennedy, and Jack Hubbard; and we walked down Main St. right into Bob Walsh and Morgan Baker, in front of the Coop and the Wigwam respectively. Ben Leavitt is an old-timer among the faculty now, but he has good company this year in the persons of Dan Luten and Fred Sisson. Freddie teaches Latin, and we think Dan is in the biology department. Hearing what an enjoyable life coaching at Dartmouth is, Tom Maynard secured a position as temporary assistant track coach. He works very hard two hours a day imparting the secrets of his success to aspiring candidates, and spends the rest of his time reading the literature he neglected to skim through during his undergraduate courses. The fraternity which houses him again says he is a great moral and intellectual uplift. Red Kennedy and Morgan Baker looked fit. Red is with the Boston Garter, and lives at home in Middleboro; Morgan is in the bond department of the Guarantee Trust, New York. Jack Hubbard's only complaint was that he could play golf only once a week now-a-days. He says that "Toughy" Keyes has been promoted to position of trader in C. D. Barney Company; and that Eddie Deans is out in Muskegon, Mich., with the Central Paper Company, and that Bill Marmion—and this is special news Tyho married Elain Appleton in June, 1929, is now the father of baby Frank. The Marmions live in San Gabriel, Cal., where Bill works with a large lumber company.

Then along came the H-D game week-end and the class supper at the University Club Friday evening. Just before the supper Dick Johnson and Chris Born led cheers at the alumni smoker at the City Club. We went from there to the supper in company with Squeak Redding, Jeff Jeffery, and Bill Dodge. It was a brilliant affair in spite of the disappointment in numbers. Of the 175 cards we sent out some 75 were answered, 35 indicating their intention of attending. Only 25 showed up, but due to the extraordinary activity of Patsy Potter and Jerry Swope all the extra food was consumed. But the real success of the evening was the singing, especially the flawless rendition of the "Fireman's Band" led by that portly chief Coles. From far away had come Dinny Dinsmore, who travels the road for a very fine concern, the nature of whose business we must confess to have forgotten.

At the game we saw Gus Wiedenmayer, Jim Hodson, Phil Mayher, and Dick Black, who was spending his first vacation since commencement in a trip East to a couple of football games and Hanover. We took him out home and dried him off and fed him up. He spent the week between the Harvard and Yale games in Hanover.

We have received an announcement of the marriage of Reba Margaret Persell of Jamestown, N. Y., to Rollin Johnson Reading. Congratulations.
