CLASS OF 1912
It is too bad that it isn't given to each and every member of not only our class but of every other class to be a class secretary to attend just one session of the annual Secretaries Meeting in Hanover. Try as some of us may through these columns in the MAGAZINE or through direct contact, to impress on you the importance in which the alumni body is held by the College, there are no words which are at our disposal. It is only by attending one of these meetings that it can be realized just how important the secretaries' work is to the College and the real satisfaction of it. It naturally follows that the results obtained are made evident by the response of the alumni. It is a pleasure indeed to be privileged to attend the gathering of the secretaries in Hanover each spring.
According to the responses which have been received so far by the reunion committee, we are going to have a fine return to Hanover on June 17. You are kept posted of the names through the broadcasts which are being sent out, and soon after you have read this issue of the MAGAZINE you will receive the last reminder. Our headquarters in Fayerweather and North Fayerweather are we think most ideal in every respect. It is secluded and ideally located, with plenty of space in front of the building to enjoy what we hope will be ideal June weather in Hanover. The committee have tried to anticipate every possible want of everyone returning, so that every moment may be one of the greatest enjoyment.
We are sorry to report that Charles Y. (Chubby) Hitchcock has had a nervous breakdown and is in the McLean Hospital in Waverly, Mass. Mrs. Hitchcock reports that she expects that he will be there for several months. We hope that this will not be necessary, and that Chubby will be well and home very soon.
Up in Hanover had the pleasure of a few hours with Gee Bullard, Mauritz Hedlund, and Ray Cabot. We almost settled all of the problems of the class, the College, and the country. Had a running shot at Pike Childs, heading back for Manchester, but missed anything of import that he might have had to say.
For those who read these columns a special appeal is made for the return of the question- naire which we are sending out at this time. The publication of our next report comes right after reunion, and we really want to have a good try at information from 100% of the class. It will need every co-operation, and will mean all the difference between a good and an indifferent book.
"Pett" Pettingell will have by this time used his last effort for the Alumni Fund, and we can only hope that our quota will be reached. "Pett" is doing a great job, giving everything he has to this most important work, and is highly appreciated. He deserves all of our thanks.
SEE YOU IN HANOVER
