Class of 1926
We don't know whether others feel as we do, but getting back to class notes is like resuming work after a vacation. You don't think about it until necessary, and then you find correspondingly that you have very little data to work with. The few letters that arrived this summer have either informed us that it was a great thing—this getting married—or if from bachelors, the epistle was in the form of a defense mechanism, rationalizing why they had not taken the jump. On the latter point see one R. C. Smith of California. But that is not news in its true sense, so as in the last issue may we implore at least two per cent to send in a personal note.
George Scott reported under date of August g a total 1926 contribution of 1a,253.25, the amount being satisfactory, but the 43 per cent contributing being lower than in any previous year since graduation, and further disappointing when we consider that two members contributed $l,OOO of this amount. In George's words, "It is regrettable that as many as78 members of the class who contributedin did not do so this year, although52 who contributed this year failed to doso last year. May we express a hope thatthis decrease is definitely due to the depression and not to a falling off of intereston the part of many 1926 men for thegreat work which is done by the AlumniFund. In other words
Three years ago, a thousand bucksSeemed like a trifling recompenseFor my ability, but nowI'd work like hell for thirty cents."
In the matrimonial pages, we find that on June 26, Miss Carolyn Louise Middaugh, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Clay Middaugh of Easton, Pa., and Henry Sage were married in the Washington Memorial Chapel at Valley Forge. Carolyn is a graduate of the Emma Willard School and of Vassar College. After their wedding trip, Carolyn and Heine will reside in Easton, where the latter is in business with his father at the Sage Leather Store, 814 Northampton St.
Up Westchester way, on August 19, Miss Marion Lowe and Tom Floyd-Jones were married. While first-hand information has not been available, we understand that Jake Jacobus was best man while Bill Hughes and Bob Cleary ably assisted as ushers. Tom and Marion had planned a sea trip on the 5. S. Entrepreneur, but the weather man stormed and five days passed with nary a nautical mile on record.
Last but not least, Miss Adele Zeiller and our inimitable "Tiny" Marsans were married in Brooklyn on September 6. Adele and "Tiny" will be in Hanover this fall, residing on College St., where Tiny will be stationed as assistant freshman football coach. More power, Marsans, but I've heard many oaths taken that you will yet suffer for not giving us a chance to do a job on you at a bachelor's dinner.
