CLASS OF 1923
Running this column is a real treat nowadays. There was a time when I had to throw a little bull now and then to fill in the holes, but lately there has been so much hot dope that I am able to sidle off into the background and let the boys tell their own stories. It's a pleasure!

Dear Metz:
I spent the month of February in Chicago, where I had a great visit with Johnnie Coonley, who is looking perfectly grand and feeling top-hole once more.
I was married in 1924 to one Margaret Barcalo, of the class of 1923, Wellesley. I have two children—Nancy McWilliams, age 6, and Carl, Jr., age 4. My particular job now is vice-president of the Niagara Lithograph Company.
If you ever travel in the neighborhood of Buffalo, the Queen City of the Great Lakes, be sure and call me and I'll be delighted to take you around and show you what we have.
Best ever, CABL N. REED

Dear Truman: J. R. (Dick) Townsend was kind enough to have my wife and me to a dinner party shortly after we came to San Francisco. Dick is connected with McCutchen, Olney, Mannon and Greene, a prominent law firm here. From what I hear, and that not from himself, he has made rapid strides. Then too, his golf game has become as almost meticulously perfect as were his marks in college. He has remained single, I suppose to better devote himself to the serious and efficacious things in life.
Bob Merridith, his wife, my wife, and I saw the Dartmouth-Stanford game. He is located in Merced, a town some hundred and twenty miles from here, and is still with the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.
I was married over two years ago, and find married life quite satisfactory with all of its fluctuations. I can always be reached at the address below. The business is loan brokerage.
As ever, RALPH B. STALEY

Dear Metz: This puts me about six up. Your plaintive appeal of February 21 and the long list of names sounded so much like an appeal for old clothes for the unemployed that I scanned the street with the following information. Addresses that you have are O. K. as far as I know unless hereinunder corrected.
Broe, with J. Hancock Life in Boston. (Paul Clark Agency at 1 Federal St.) Res. 210 Riverway.
Clark, P. P., Clark and Friend, haberdashers, give the Salem, Mass., folks a chance to get what's being worn correctly by the well dressed Chicagoan. Fred is a BIG SHOT.

BROOKS PALMER
Bradford, Mass.

Dear Metz: The enclosed blank should have been on its way a long time ago, but when you are coach of a football team that wins but two of eight games, the fall becomes a sad, busy affair.
A poor excuse, but you will be generous enough to accept it. Johnnie Allen could think up a better one, since he can scratch his head much easier than I can get at mine.
Not a thing to add to your record, except that I have been having a lot of fun coaching some teams that have won a few and lost a few.

It hardly seems possible, but another year has almost rolled around since we all got Don Moore's picture postcard and reached frantically for the (a) fountain pen (b) waste basket. And too many of us either reached for the latter or else the fountain pen was dry. It's a great college, boys, and we have the honor of keeping the machinery oiled. During flush years and lean the grass has to be cut, the profs paid, and the probation notices printed and mailed. And during the seven years that our class has had a share in this program, good years and poor, rain or shine, our class has failed every year to meet its figures. Perhaps 1931 is our big year. Perhaps this year Don Moore can turn in a report to the Alumni Fund that will reflect the glory that is 1923. Let's fool 'em this year, starting off big in April when the drive starts.
And two years from this June . . . the Tenth, the Titanic Tenth . . . You will be there? . . . Who can tell, by that time the College may be operating the Wilder Wildcat, the Brewery that Made Dartmouth What She is Today. . . . Hanover in 1933, with the wife (?) and kiddies (?)
An open letter to Frank Horn—NO —WHY?
