CLASS OF 1917
REMINISCENCES AND REALITIES
How would you like to be starting out for an afternoon on skis—out around the Hanover golf links or over across the river or just settling down in a warm smoke-filled room in the old dorm, with a few of the gang? That may be a pipe dream but reunion next June, with men you haven't seen for one year, five years maybe, or even fifteen—that's a reality.
BANKER GALE
Windy Gale, after many years in the lumber business out around Buffalo, N. Y., has associated himself with the M. and T. Trust Cos. in Buffalo.
COOLIDGE ECONOMY
The Johnny Wheelocks planned to combine their 1931 Christmas cards with the announcement of a new arrival. The kid crossed them, however, and didn't arrive until December 29; so they had to make it a New Year's card. Her name is Gretchen.
SQUIRE SWETT
We had occasion to spend a day in Mountain Lakes, N. J., recently. On our host's library table was an illustrated community newspaper, which he explained was published by the local real estate company and edited by one Gil Swett. It seems that Gil sells and buys all the real estate that changes hands in that attractive suburb and I suppose holds all the mortgages that are paid off just in time in the last act of those New Jersey melodramas.
We had the pleasure of a brief visit with Gil—and the years sure rest lightly on that lad's shoulders, ve-ry lightly.
PHILLY CHECKS IN
Vic Smith reported in from Philadelphia in a recent letter that the '17 club of Quakertown is already holding reunion rallies with Bruce Ludgate as chairman, Vic as coach, Sumner Emerson as captain, and Ralph Britton as cheer leader.
DARTMOUTH UNDYING
During the 1931 Alumni Fund drive, a number of the class couldn't pay at once all they wanted to, and so pledged the amount to be paid in installments later. When I tell you that almost without exception those installments have been paid; that some of them, a bit overdue, have come in $5.00, $3.00, $2.00, or even less at a time don't you feel that Seventeen is a pretty good outfit after all?
