Class of 1916
You are asking me for news, John:News of the boys around here.We are all playing close to our vests, John,And wondering when we will have Beer.
The fields are blanketed white,The sleighbells jingling clear.The lame ducks are all gathered, all in alatherOver the question of Beer.
Two of our great men ran for president,Both promised improvement next year.One had a platform both clear and concise,The other just foam and Beer.
I know now who won the election.I hope his heart is without fear.He'll decide one or two other questionsBesides the much-talked-about Beer.
They tell us that taxes are high(They'll probably be higher next year),But there'll be no more worries abouttaxes
When the breweries all start belchingBeer.
The breweries are out grabbing options,Plants, factories, mills, and the whole
scheme.They'll have to run day and night, men,To maintain production of Beer.
So there's the extent of my news, John,I've gathered from hither and here.There's only one fly in the salve, John,All the boys know how to make their ownBeer.

Gran Fuller recently when buying (yes, some are still doing that) some material from the Insulite Company, came in contact with Bob Sherer. You will remember that Bob left Hanover at the end of his freshman year and entered the University of Denver, from which place he graduated. After 14 years with U. S. Gypsum, he shifted to Insulite, and now holds down the assistant sales managership. Bob with his wife, two boys, and two girls resides in Minneapolis.
John Ames still lives in Boston territory, and at present is assistant secretary of Selected Industries, Inc., which is an investment trust managed by Tri-Continental Corporation.
We note with pleasure the continued rise of Charlie Everett in the Cotton Textile Institute. On January first Charlie took over the directorship of publicity and propaganda.
When I lived in New Britain, Conn., it used to be my pleasure to see Dave Gibson at least once a year. But now I have to depend on the Alumni Office for news about him. However, he is still in Waterbury and is a department manager for Howland-Hughes Company. Dave is very active in the Dartmouth Club of that city and last year was its president.
Out where football is football, is where Harry Goldman is now located. No, you are wrong, not the Coast, but Green Bay, Wis. It may be that he is with the Packers now on their trip to Honolulu.
Abe Lincoln still insists that he is the real estate end of a law concern, even though he has moved his place of business from French St. to 26 Bedford St. So please take note, you Fall River visitors.
De Stillman with the crash of Insull activities moved to 40 South Clinton St., Chicago, where he is engaged in financial printing.
Red Tucker is a physician in the U. S. Veterans' Hospital located at Tucson, Arizona. Much success to you, doctor. Certainly you deserve all of that and more.
Down Boston way Louis Bell has deserted the insurance business and returned to the investment business. Just another sign that things for 1933 are on the up and up.
Rog Morse, of whom we hear but little and see less, has been elected captain of the Wellesley, Mass., badminton team, and is very busy arranging matches with club teams in the metropolitan district. Rog, after a very successful season last year, is expected to do even greater things this year.
It was my good fortune to be entertained over a week-end by the Bill McKenzies. Bill, by the way, has transferred his efforts with Goodyear from the original equipment sales to the position of manager of sales in the mechanical sales division.
While in Akron I saw Cap Palmer and his wife, and let me tell you that when you are planning your 20th reunion and all the things that you will want to do, Cap will be busy entering his son in the freshman class of that year. Now how many of you men can beat or tie this record?
Many thanks for the Christmas cards.
Secretary, 3589 Avalon Rd., Shaker Heights, Ohio
