We had an unusually good party at the class dinner at the University Club the night before the Harvard-Dartmouth game. Present: Phil Avery, Curly Blake, Chet Brett, Bob Burns, Harry Burroughs, Fred Carroll, Ed Chappelear, Cad Cummings, Make Farley, Ingie Fearing, Harry Floyd, Herb Hawes, Bob Holmes, Sandy Hooker, Knuck Kennedy, Plumb Leighton, Dick Lord, Jake Mason, Al Newton, Charlie Pearson, Mary Rogers, Wallie Ross, Clark Saville, Art Swenson, Craig Thorn, Dan Watson, Gordon Weinz, Ced Wellsted, and Joe Worthen. Reverting back to undergraduate days, Ced Wellsted recited "Little Nell," Freddie Carroll gave "Casey at the Bat," Knuck Kennedy sang "If I had a Dream" (and before we let Knuck off on it,-i.e. four or five renditionsKnuck was going very well indeed), Joe Worthen told one of his best, and the singing was extensive as usual. It was particularly pleasant to have Ced Wellsted, Pearson, Chappelear, Craig Thorn, and Mary Rogers from well out of town to add to the rest of the "regulars."

Bob and Marj Burns' tea after the game was attended by many of the class, along with several hundred others. This party has become an institution, and, instead of lasting from say five to seven, is so devotedly attended until so late an hour that one might well think that many of us had been invited for the week-end. We suggested to Bob that he buy a circus tent for next year. The only trouble about this party is that it makes the balance of the evening seem dull and tame by comparison.
