With best wishes,

SAMMIS' SEABOARD SKETCHES

Dear Metz: To bring myself up to date, I am still single and still in the bond business for good ol' Harris, Forbes. There are a few names on the list-which recall fleeting glances.

Ted Caswell I saw several weeks ago in Boston. He and the missus were at the H-T hockey game. Still a little bald.

Archie Giroux sat next to me last year at the Dartmouth dinner in Boston. Although he put in time at Cambridge, he is strong for the Big Green.

Cocky Lewis is married, and I think still up in Vermont, turning out winning aggregations and maybe some future Phi Betes.

Jim Moody is in Boston with Harris, Forbes. He is also holding out on the weaker sex, although his model behavior recently suggests some fair influence. Even on an outing up in the North Woods, he scorned the cup that cheers. Jim has been in Texas, but that doesn't explain it either.

In about a week, I'm headin' south—southeast to be exact, and I hope that the rain has ceased in Bermuda. So I'll be in the Berkshires all summer and challenge any tourists to golf, ping-pong, or name your own. You'd better tour this way yourself, Metz.

Do you happen to know the Holloways in Glencoe? They come down here in the summer.

Good luck, lad, and if I can help you, say the word.

Hooper-dooper, SAMMY (H. D. SAMMIS)

A BID TO THE CARVERS' HOUSE

Dear Truman: I am sorry to advise that I am so far away from other members of '23 that I have no information to offer you relative to their addresses, doings, etc. Distance is the cause, not lack of interest.

I'm the only '23 man, and for that matter, Dartmouth graduate, in town (population estimated 40,000—actual 30,000). I see mighty few Dartmouth men, believe me. I wish you'd extend through your column an invitation for '23 men, if ever passing through or near Bellingham, to look me up. I'm sure some come to the Coast on vacations, etc., and I would like to see them and extend some hospitality to them.

Sincerely yours,

NATE CARVER Bellingham, Wash.

- I'm all for the directory, newspaper, or what have you. Go to it. I'm sure the class will back you up financially.

THE MASSACHUSETTS DIVORCE MILL

Dear Truman: I hope that the following may be of some help correcting your files. Anyway, here is a little dope on a few of the boys.

Roger Billings is in the insurance business in Boston and I believe is living in Tewksbury.

Jim Broe is in the insurance business with the Paul Clark Agency of the John Hancock Cos., with an office at 1 Federal St., Boston. For some reason or other, it is no trick at all to keep in touch with the boys that are peddling policies.

Ted Caswell is in the carbon paper business with the F. S. Webster Cos., who are shortly to move to a new plant here in Cambridge. I played a round of golf with him last summer, and it cost me money.

Chandler Eastman is in the engineering department of the N. E. T. & T. Cos. (the concern that suffers me to remain in its employ) in Boston.

Ken Fortune is in a large shop in the candy business here in Cambridge.

Louis Grover is still with the R. I. Hospital Trust Cos. in Providence. Still single, I believe.

Howie Reed is running a Lincoln Store in Newburyport. That is the same outfit that Ivan Martin is with here in Cambridge.

Win Temple is city solicitor and what not in Marlboro.

Bill Welch is also a rising young barrister with offices in the Ames Building in Boston.

Of the nine, I know that at least five have been married, and of the five, three are the proud possessors of nice new divorces, but since I assume that this is to be a family newspaper, I thought that the gory details had best be omitted.

Best regards to you, KEN WAY

Dear Metz: While the real estate situation in Florida was keeping several of us kidded into thinking that making money was nothing more than sitting around and watching it roll in, I saw a good bit of Ray Billings. He was connected with the same outfit as I was. The last I knew of him was that he was operating an automobile service station in St. Augustine, or Daytona, or some place on the upper east coast. However, that was about four years ago. While in Florida he married a very attractive little Georgia Cracker, who presented him with another little Billings.

I haven't seen or heard of Chuck Calder since the summer of 1925, when he was with a department store in Cleveland, called Taylor and Co., or something similar. He had married his old favorite, Dorothy Davis, also of Cleveland, just a short time before.

Fred Flickinger, who transferred to Wisconsin after a couple of years with us, had a real struggle with his health a few years ago, but the last I heard was that he is very much on his feet again, and in advertising work in Cleveland. For a long time his sight was in danger, but I understand that he is completely recovered. He married a very fine girl whom he met at Wisconsin.

George A. "Andy" Hart, another Toledo boy, transferred to Ohio State after his sophomore year. He is now living in Indianapolis, being a sales manager for the Shell Petroleum Co., in the industrial lubrication end of the business.

That completes the meager supply of information I have for you, Metz. I do hope you get a huge supply of news from those who have any for you.

Nothing thrilling has happened to me since my last report. Accumulating new accounts for a bank is a rather ticklish proposition under present conditions, as nothing is gained by interesting the many companies who cannot be granted credit with business so uncertain. But there is lots of hope in the proven ability of the old U. S. A. to crash through with a big recovery, and I guess America isn't ready to go to the dogs just yet. Very truly yours, TAYLOR SMITH

MORE FROM McCABE

Dear Metz: So far as seeing classmates up here is concerned, I'd stand a far better chance in Tibet, I believe. Time was when I corresponded with one or two, but those days have apparently passed also. If I am in any way typical of the average recipient of this paper, you can put in information and news from 1923 on—and there will be no complaints re staleness.

Business with my firm up here is exceedingly dull, but we manage to occupy our- selves with our battle with the dissatisfied farmers, who are trying to legislate a 100% compulsory pool for the marketing of their grain—which legislation would just naturally wipe us out, lock, stock, and barrel. The fact that such a move is entirely illegal has no effect on the radicals, so we are forced to get out and argue it down with facts and figures. All of which is of no interest to you. (Looking back over this paragraph I see I have said my firm. Don't misconstrue this phraseology. It is not my firm in that sense, as I merely work for a firm which bears the family name.)

Right now I am making preparations for retiring from the business world and taking a ranch home in South California. I am no richer than I was last year—technically—but you see, I own a Sweepstakes ticket on the Irish Free State Sweepstakes—the first prize of which will run about $750,000. Inasmuch as the Grand National will be run the last of this month, I figure I had better be ready to quit work immediately on receipt of the prize money. The fact that I have been buying tickets like this ever since I came here has little bearing, as I feel particularly lucky this year.

Sincerely, JIM MCCABE
