Class of 1923

Pardon Us for Bringing This Up After a lay-off of eight years, the '23 lads in and about Chicago almost got together last month for a few simple festivities- featuring Spannferkle and beer.

The occasion was to be a backslapping affair centering around Eddie Lynch, assist- ant coach to Doc Spears at Wisconsin. Bud Friedman and Paul McKown, both of Milwaukee, arranged for the barreled goods and the Spannferkle, and Bill Juergens, Bill Wallace, Bill Kimball, Chick Obermeyer, Ward Hilton, Laurie Barnett, your correspondent, and the balance of the Chicago contingent (and there is none better!) planned to move to Milwaukee for the affair.

Their wives had other plans, they forgot what night it was, they didn't have the price, the weather was too inclement, etc., so there was no party. But we thought it worth mentioning anyhow.

HERE'S A LITTLE CHORE FOR YOU

In connection with the Turbulent Tenth, our tenth-year reunion of next June, you can do the class a favor if you will urge any of the boys in the class you bump into to subscribe to the ALUMNIMAGAZINE in order to get the reunion plans right ofE the griddle as they mature. As nearly as possible, it is intended to publish the plans in this way in order to cut costs —and every cent saved on advance ballyhoo is another penny for the party itself.

It Hurts Me To Do It—But . . .

An almost complete lack of news from the goo odd gents in ours, the finest single body of fine, principled, upstanding, cleareyed, young stalwarts ever graduated from Dartmouth College, forces me to appeal for material for these pages. Sit right down and send me some news. It doesn't have to be even spelled properly. Anything will do. Except, naturally, anything vulgar.

In particular, who knows any dirt about the following: Red Carbaugh and Johnny Allen, the two ex-mayors of Hanover; Joe Pollard (supposed to be a resident of Hanover now), Charley Howard of Syracuse, Dink Lundquist of Buffalo and Wacker- hagen of Racine, Wis.?

Radio Notes

You fans who dote on Col. Stoopnagel may not be aware that the Colonel is Horace Taylor's brother and that Horace has occasionally helped write the crazy stuff as well as take part in the programs. Ex-residents of Hitchcock Hall will recall with mixed emotions the programs Horace used to release in his quarters in the third floor back, hard by the cemetery. They say the lad is quite portly nowadays, and crazier than ever.
