Day Jr., son of Fred, William J. Oneal, son of Jimmie, and Philip A. White, son of Elliott. There are besides 1912 sons in the senior, junior, and sophomore classes.

Freddy and Mrs. Day recently visited with the Lewises of Lebanon, on the way to enter Fred Jr. in Hanover.
This column was to have been taken over temporarily by one of our most widely traveled classmates. A man who has had a wide experience and who probably knows more about who's who in 1912 than any one of us—Queechie French. He was contacted recently in one of the famous New York night clubs and within twenty-four hours of that meeting was seen entering the famous Sacco-Vanzetti Court House at Dedham, Mass., to interview our class agent, Ralph Pettingell. Whether or not he was mistaken for someone else is not known, but the fact remains that the entire building was found empty.
