CLASS OF 1912
In sincere sympathy we announce the sad event of the passing away of the wife of Heinie Urion on March 28 at Wilmette, Ill. Mrs. Urion was Miss Katherine Paul, the sister of Dick Paul '11. Our deepest condolence is expressed to Heinie and also to Dick Paul.
New addresses which have come to our attention are for "Queechie" French, now residing at 7 Hammond Terrace, Allston, Mass., and John R. Park, business address as 93 Federal St., Boston, Don Augur has moved from New York territory, and is in business with Campbell-Ewald Cos., General Motors Bldg., Detroit, and resides at 16227 Cherrylawn Ave., Detroit.
About that gold mine that Dutch Mahlstedt is working, we have received a long newspaper article from the Richmond (Va.) News Leader telling all about the wonderful prospects. It is known as the old Waller Mine, and is located near Tabscott, Goochland county. Over seventy years ago more than $2,000,000 in gold was taken out, and through the leadership of Dutch Mahlstedt, modern engineering methods are now being employed to determine if more ore still might be obtainable.
We have in our files correspondence from Pach Brothers, the well known photographers, offering to take studio photographs of every member of the class without charge. These photos are taken by any of their many branches or correspondent photographers and done entirely at their own expense, affording the class files at the same time a complimentary set. These might be used to good advantage for display purposes later and for future issues of our class report. We will be pleased to hear expressions of opinions on this subject as the matter will no doubt come up in the near future in executive session.
On the subject of pictures. This summer keep in mind to take a few good clear snapshots of the family and have an extra set printed up and send them to your Secretary for use in the class report, which we will issue before Commencement next year. We will promise faithfully to put them in your individual folder immediately, and they will be all ready when needed.
Under alumni publications in the April issue of the MAGAZINE we note the review of a three-act play by Henry B. Stevens, entitled "Johnny Appleseed and Paul Bunyon." It is a play of American folk lore and has received very favorable criticism. We will no doubt hear further from Steve in the literary field.
The first broadside from Pett Pettingell on the Alumni Fund drive has just been received. You know that we did not meet our quota last year; we must make it up this year. The least you can do to help Pett in his work is to answer his appeal with a check for as much as you can possibly dig up right now. If later you can send more, you can always do so. If you cannot send anything at all, write a few lines acknowledging his appeal. Put yourself in his place and you can easily understand what your co-operation means to him in his work.
