The old pump has gone dry. Even though I work the handle frantically and furiously not a bit of news can I raise. It is the last of March—and you know what that is in Hanover. But it is even worse. On Easter Sunday the streams were running and the fields were covered only with dark brown grass and water, and lots of it. That night there broke over the Hanover horizon the worst snowstorm in years, and now everything is buried under snow drifts, including the hopes and aspirations of your Secretary. Bermuda seems like the only way out. So here he goes, and with the hope that he may run across the tracks of enough 1911ers to make the next batch of class news worth while.
Meanwhile there have come filtering in such reports as that Austin Keough is becoming a name to be reckoned with these days, as his upward progress continues; that Ted Stafford, recently elected president of the Washington Alumni Association, put over a very successful party when the undergraduate musical clubs appeared there recently; that the worst of the financial storm has passed through lowa and its leading citizens are beginning to take a little comfort in life once more; and that the old firm of A. B. Leach and Company of Chicago is retiring from business and giving way to George T. Leach and Company, Inc., investment securities, 100 West Monroe St., Chicago.
Secretary, Hanover, N. H.
