CLASS OF 1912
The passing of the beautiful and friendly personality of Gene Clark leaves a gap in the life of Hanover which will always remain. Our last respects to Gene's memory were expressed in the person of Mauritz Hedlund, who attended the funeral services as representative of 1912.
From "Pett" Pettingell we are posted of the following fine 1912 attendance at the Boston alumni dinner on Saturday, March 1: "Quechee" French, "Caesar" Young, "Tommy" Thomas, "Buster" Kennedy, "Eddie" Luitwieler, "Husky" Farnum, "Joe" Boylan, "Fletcher" Clark, "Glad" Nead, "Pett" Pettingell, "Lyme" Armes, "Ray" Cabot, "Knipper" Knapp, "Jim" Boak, "Chubby" Hitchcock, "Bud" Hoban, "Connie" Snow, "Dutch" Viets, "Bug" Knight, "Ken" Foster, "Ted" Lampee, and "Dutch" Cottrell.
"Joe" Boylan is reported as the daddy of another son. This makes Joe's family three girls and four boys. We send our congratulations and best wishes, and hope mother and son are well.
"The Day of the Cattleman" is the title of a history of the cattle business, primarily in the Wyoming-Montana region, written by our own Ernest S. Osgood. This book has been very favorably criticised as an historic and economic presentation of the cattle business of the Western plains.
Royal J. Haskell is president of the AmericanPhytopathological Society in Washington, D. C. In another section of this issue appears a contribution of Royal to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.
Prom all- indications there seems to be an increasing interest in the ALTJMNI MAGAZINE and an increasing disappointment when the 1912 column does not appear. This is the best thing to happen in a long time, and if only some of the boys would form a habit of sending in some news, some complaint or comment, it would make our column much more interesting. Your reporter Secretary, after all has to employ his time and imagination as a source of livelihood, and there are limits to which they can be drawn upon to write up the news column without some co-operation from individual members. The reprints from the MAGAZINE recently sent to every member of the class brought only one letter with news.
