CLASS OF 1918

As an obituary to our column of a couple months back headed "How Long Will it Last?" we received some time ago a piece from A 1 Sibbernsen entitled "How Long Will What Last?", as follows:

"Out in the West where men are Men, and haven't the price of a chink, there ain't no depression, just feel natural, that's all. The Gold Standard was abandoned years ago in favor of buttons,—but who has got that button?

"Remittance men (men of the East), we have shut you off in favor of bigger and better wall-paper, principally 'outhouse' (quote D. L. Barr). Our 'pratts' (quote D. Shea) are about ground out, and a new supply of goods in kind will shortly come forth upon which to once more start your presses if only for the change of a color scheme."

The above was taken from the columns of the Elk City Panic and written by the eminent barnyard economist A. H. Sibbernsen.

March 16 recorded the marriage of Gene Markey to Miss Joan Bennett, daughter of Richard Bennett, at Los Angeles, Calif. The wedding ceremony was performed by Judge Lewis R. Works, and was witnessed by many prominent persons identified with the motion picture industry.

We are pleased to learn that Jake Bingham has been made Boston branch manager for the Deerfoot Farms Cos. It surprises us in our ignorance to be informed that this company, always thought of in terms of sausages, actually sells very high-grade milk and cream from its farm at Southborough, which has been in operation since 1850.

Stan Jones had a feature fiction story in the March 19 issue of the Saturday EveningPost, with the title "If the Cap Fits." For those who haven't read it we would say it is rather a compelling piece of blah, wherein the love interest enters professional hockey, with several of our class as mythical puckchasers in the story. The tale moves right along, and has an ending which we thought was rather deftly executed.

We hear that E. P. Gordon is treasurer of the Atlantic Radio and Marine Corp.—that Skippy Mills is head of the department of Romance languages at Talladega College in Alabama—that George Dockstader is the leading spirit of the Everett Carleton Co.that Paul Gerrish is an instructor of physical education at Teachers College, Columbia University, and is also working for a Ph.D. degree.

It is our sad task to chronicle herewith the death of Lynn F. Seiler at Long Beach, Calif., on March 18, 1932. See a fuller notice in the Necrology.
