CLASS OF 1912

One would think that after an absencevoluntary and involuntary—from secretarial headquarters there should be quite an accumulation of 1912 news for the "Column." There has not only been very little news, but hardly a rumor to report, which makes our job just that much harder.

One important news item is the appointment of Ralph D. Pettingell as acting treasurer of Norfolk County, Mass. Pett had served seventeen years with Curtis and Sanger of Boston until the recent liquidation of that firm.

A reprint from the Newark Sunday Call of January 10, 1932, is a very interesting article on the New Jersey Securities Act by Richard C. Plumer. Dick is assistant attorney-general of New Jersey in charge of the division of securities, and has for some years past devoted his most successful efforts to the protection of the public against get-richquick schemers. It would be good listening if we could get him to tell us some of the inside stories some time.

If you ever have a problem in moving your business or renting an office we are giving you good advice. By all means don't fail to see Warren Bruner of New York, Chicago, and wherever you call him. What Warren doesn't know about everything pertaining to offices, etc., isn't worth knowing.

The class may not know it, but the 1932 reunion—our Twentieth—is actually under way. A committee has been formed, and tentative plans all laid. Sectional "chiefs" will be designated any day now, and the first broadcast will be sent out direct to all the class. Reports have been received from Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, and California, and a preliminary meeting was held in New York on March 4, presided over by Doc O'Connor.

The broadcasts will be issued by a regular committee, and will contain all detailed information for what we all sincerely hope will be a homecoming to Hanover after twenty years of a full class of 1912.

Lay your plans to be in Hanover from Friday, June 17, through the 21st.
