Tomorrow*night (October 11) the New York contingent of 1931 has its first dinner and get-together of the new college year. Sorry I cannot tell you anything about it in this issue, but if there's anything that permits repeating I'll save it for the next column.
Last Sunday's New York Herald Tribune disclosed an announcement of the engagement of Miss Africa of Manchester, N. H., to Mr. Robert A. Rolfe. We regret that we have no further information on hand, but expect that this will be verified by Red in the very near future.
And not so long ago, our grapevine' yielded the news that Miss Gwendolyn Schaeberley became engaged to Mr. Frank Hodson of Glen Ridge, N. J. And on Saturday, September 15, Miss Betty Drake Norris, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emmett Ellsworth Burley, was married to Mr. Gilbert L. Wolfe in Zanesville, Ohio. Gib is with the Revere Copper and Brass Co., and plans to operate in Rome, N. Y. Congratulations.
Written on a rather imposing letterhead, comes a first contribution from Johnny Rogers. He's an attorney-at-law in Houlton, Me. He passed his bar exams about two months ago and lit out for the North Country. The competition is keen, says Johnny, but "an occasional small caseor title to abstract" manages to keep his time occupied. Skiing and winter sports hold promise there too, he says. Come to think of it, how many actually practicing barristers have we in 1931? I don't think there are very many who have moved along that fast. That's one for the ACTUARIAL ISSUE of this column; a comprehensive analysis of the activities of 1931 it'll be in print one of these near-by days.

Peanut Winslow wrote Beanny Thorn a rather accurate description of the prowess of Messrs. Bean and Brummer in their hotel enterprise at East Jaffrey, N. H. Says Peanut, it looks like the boys made enough innovations to insure a series of successful summers; they even serve freshly hooked and cooked fish in bed. He also predicts that their winter season, though slack in the hostelry game, will, nevertheless flourish politically; selectmen and overseers being much in demand in that neck of the woods. In concluding, he seriously says he had a swell time and it looks like a busy summer ahead for the mine hosts next summer. George Miller, in signing up for the MAGAZINE, thinks the offer ought to induce a 100% subscription. We'll feel good if we get the required 50%, George.

Well suh, that's about all I can scurry up for the moment. Hope you haven't forgotten to send Beanny those two bucks for the MAGAZINE; and if you cannot do it now, at least tell him you will send it soon. How's about some photos?
Secretary, 10 Mitchell Place, New York
