Class of 1912
The "Big Green" team may not always win—the athletic budget may not balance —but if it weren't for "The Game" what a long time there would be to many old familiar greetings. As Jim Erwin has it, "The old traditions shall not fail," and they don't, although for some reason seating arrangements hold things up somewhat. Boston for the Harvard game attracted Roy and Mrs. Lewis from Lebanon, Pike Childs from Manchester, Jim and Mrs. Erwin from Jersey City. These we know were at the game besides Connie Snow from Rochester, N. H., Hug Lena, Everett Gammons, Ray Cabot, Caesar Young, Mike home, Gee Bullard, Hal Fuller, Rollie Linscott, and Dick Plumer from New Jersey. There is nothing that quite comes up to that game in Boston.
On the way and at the New Haven bowl were seen many of the old familiar faces: Dick Remsen with his boy Bill, Richard Jr. having to stay home to play center on the Lawrence School third team—so Bill said: Randy Burns immaculate in dress as usual and of course in demeanor too; Alfred Eiseman with his wife, boy, and girl; Jim and Mrs. Erwin and as usual genial host to several guests; also Warren Bruner, Ralph Pettingell, and Mr. and Mrs. Warren Wheeler. The full report of others who were at the game is not available, but if some of the boys will write in with some news it will be passed on.
"Pett" Pettingell is by the time you read this re-elected Norfolk County (Mass.) treasurer on the Republican ticket, and with it all of the good wishes of all of us.
Ralph Baker has a new address as 68 Hillsdale Road, Medford, Mass., and Ed Sawyer, 75 Union St., Randolph, Mass. Arthur (Cupe) Clark is now in Elizabethtown, Tenn., at 307 Allen Ave. Bowdoin Plumer is at the Hotel Fenimore, Cooperstown, N. Y. Ross Hall is reported at 578 Madison Ave., New York city, room 402.
With the summer vacation period and the reunion, our files are responsible for the omission in the October issue of the sad news of the death of the wife of Lewis Waterbury last May. This news came to us through Lew Perley and Connie Snow, but we have not learned any details except that it was very sudden. Dutch is with the Ponce & Guayama R. R., Central Aguirre, Porto Rico, and has one boy, Holden, twelve years of age. The sympathy of the entire class is sincerely expressed.
Had a long letter from Pike Childs not long ago in which he tried to square himself for last June in Hanover. Between Hanover and Linda and fishing and three paragraphs on the benefits of life insurance, we just finished reading it, and we agree fully—'"let's try and be more neighborly."
Ran into Willis Dunning not long ago. He expected to reach Hanover for reunion, but couldn't get up at the last minute.
Publication of the class report isn't coming along as fast as we would like, but this is due to conditions beyond our control, and we hope to get at it right after the first of the year.
This winter there will be the usual Alumni Winter Carnival in Hanover. If any members of the class have any intention of being there we will appreciate hearing from them, and perhaps a good gathering of 1912 can be brought about. You will probably find the notices about this in future issues of the MAGAZINE.
"Boss" Geller from Owego will no doubt advise us as to "who's who" at the Cornell game in Ithaca, and it will be published in the next issue.
Getting back to the Memorable Twentieth, it seems to us that we remember among many promises made by the ladies there was one particularly that they were going to enter into some kind of correspondence. So far it hasn't been forthcoming, and will Mrs. Hug Lena and Mrs. Ruel Gibbs please look into this?
Dick Plumer will be sending out new bills soon now, so give him a good start as the new treasurer. He will need it to keep a bank account at all.
Secretary, 1452 Broadway, New York
