CLASS OF 1927

We have now been out of college for just three years. In fact the "Turrible Thoid" is a thing of the past, the dust has settled and the smoke has cleared away. Over the weekend of June 15, some sixty loyal sons of '27 either were able or had sufficient drive to get back to Hanover for our first organized reunion. Those who attended certainly had all the appearance of enjoying themselves sufficiently to have made the effort well worth while. In our own humble opinion it was no effort at all, and a darn good party with "some fun" for all. Enough of the reunion, however, for there will be a class letter sometime in September giving further details of the party.

This seems to be the time of year for matrimony, and we find that the members of '27 are no exception to the rule that "in the spring a young man's, etc."

Win Howland was married on July 5 to Miss Virginia Lippincott Fitzhugh of Des Moines, lowa.

Hooker Horton was married to Miss Mary Elizabeth Norcom on June 28, in New York city. Mr. and Mrs. Horton will make their home in Forest Hills, L. I.

Charlie Haynes was married to Miss Marcia Elizabeth Frey of Lynn, Mass., on Monday, June 30.

Bed Williams married Miss Wilma Campbell of Chicago, on March 27.

Frank Brown was married on April 12 to Miss Catherine Havelaar of Paterson, N. J.

Jay Willing married Miss Marion Smith of Winchester, Mass., on Friday, June 20.

Roger Salinger was married to Miss Marjorie Tucker of Newtonville, Mass., on Saturday, June 15. Don McCall was one of the ushers, and was, therefore, unable to attend the reunion.

The engagement of Charlie Bartlett to Miss Barbara Hastings of Hingham, Mass., was announced on the Bth of June. Charlie has completed his study of law at Harvard, and expects to be located in New York working for some firm of admiralty lawyers.

Mr. and Mrs. Gus Cummings were greatly pleased with the arrival of one Harrington Munroe Cummings, born on March 10. Consequently if there is a call for class dues in thenear future you will know that it is in a good cause. Incidentally, young Harry is all slated, for the captaincy of the championship eleven in 1952. We were afraid at first that there would be great internal friction and hard feeling in the class to decide whether young Harry or Charlie Auer would occupy the position of fullback, both of them already weighing something like sixteen pounds in the shade. We have since learned, however, that Harry is to play halfback while Bill has Charlie slated for guard.

Fritz Auer has finally returned from the wilderness of Canada, and is now in New York waiting to see which end of the earth, they will send him to next to build a dam.

Ted Ward has returned from his trip around the world, and was in Hanover at Commencement time. He seemed particularly pleased to inform us that he will be in Hanover next year running the College Bookstore.

Josh Davis cabled us from Lynmouth, England, saying that he was sorry not to be at the reunion, but that he was doing his best over there. Josh and Ken Ballantyne recently severed their connections with Kissel, Kinnicutt, and are now helping to organize a new bond department for Eastman Dillon Company, New York city.

Your Secretary left the employ of the New Amsterdam Casualty Company about the first of May, to go to work for the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company of Boston, in their application department.

Dud Sercombe is now working for the Richfield Oil Company, in their Portland, Oregon, branch.

Let's have some more letters before the next issue!

Secretary, Waban, Mass.
