CLASS OF 1918
Em Morse writes in from Chicago saying that he is temporarily located in the crime city for the winter. We are in accord with Em when he deplores that gradually diminishing circle of 1918 bachelors now that both Tom Proctor and Louis Huntoon have decided to take the fatal leap.
Adolphe Menjou of film fame is also generally recognized as an eminent sartorial authority. In his latest list of the world's fifteen best dressed men we find the name of Gene Markey. We recollect that a few years ago Gene was given a similar distinction by someone else.
From Marsh Leavitt we have the sad news of the death of his wife last November. He is left with the care of two young children, and it hasn't been very pleasant for him to get along. Marsh is still at Melrose High School as faculty manager of athletics. He is also teaching mathematics.
We understand that Jake Bingham is already giving serious thought to the problem of arranging his affairs so as to be able to attend the Fair and Fat Fifteenth in 1933. The way the days on the calendar are zipping along the reunion will soon be upon us, and it shortly behooves all of us to become contemplative on the prospect.
Benny Bennett has harked back to his first love in the way of a vocation, namely, aviation. He is now with the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce in New York, and is hard at work conducting an (international) aeronautical conference taking place at the present time.
On December 21, 1930, a daughter, Carol, was born to Rev. and Mrs. Walter B. Wiley at Marash, Turkey.
It is of course trite to say that we are again entirely bereft of news for this 1918 column. Unfortunately in his confining business of pill rolling and castor oil vending, the Secretary does not come in contact with many '18ers personally and must rely for the most part on whatever gossip comes in to him by mail. We certainly can use a barrage of letters right now.
Secretary, 953 Madison Ave., New York
