Our mail this month contained the announcement of the desertion from the bachelor ranks of '25 of Whit Campbell, who was marriecl on March 16 to Cornelia Heile Lyons at Oak Park, 111.

Frank Kennedy blew into the office the other day on a short business trip from New York. Since the first of this year he has been associated with C. J. Devine & Cos., selling government bonds. His company has recently opened a Boston office, and Frank was over to supervise the organization of said Boston office, although his chief duty consists of selling Governments to the New York banks. Coming over on the boat he met Jack Per-Lee, who is furniture buyer for Bloomingdale's department store in New York City. Also ran across Frank Hershey, who is supervisor of branch banking for the Marine Midland group.

Hubie Huberth is celebrating the arrival of his second offspring on March 31 this time a boy, to be one Peter Martin Huberth. The first arrival is now a young lady of two and one-half years.

And while on the subject of '25 progeny we saw a charming picture of Twist Elmquist's two young daughters, Martha and Jean, in the St. Paul Daily News not long ago.

"Mosh" Mosher has been teaching Engglish and coaching the golf team at Blair Academy in northern New Jersey since 1929.

Rather meager reports have drifted in from New York City to the effect that Curt Abel is now affiliated with the General Foods Corporation.

We hear that Dr. Martin Quirk is enjoying a large and extensive medical practice in Newton, N. J.

Ed Childs is now in the accounting department of Johns Manville Corporation, where he is keeping the old profit and loss statement in the black ink.

Also in the big city is Paul Brundage, who is managing one of a large group of chain stores, his particular location being at 238 West 34th St.

A 1 Laing has just brought out a new book in collaboration with an unidentified medico—a really swell murder-horror-de- tective-thriller. The name is "The Cadaver of Gideon Wyck," which gives you some slight idea of what to expect—and you aren't disappointed. It is one of the best we've read in ages, weirdly thrilling and spilling the kind of secrets that doctors spend half their lives trying to conceal. A1 will autograph your copy, if you send it to him, properly return postaged, of course. The Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company have selected Johnnie Brownell as the one soul fitted to represent them in Pittsburgh—another round-about compliment to Hanover training.

And up in New London, N. H., the health o£ the townspeople has reached a new high point under the guidance of Doctor Jack Norris.

Ed Hennessey is credit manager of the Southern office of the Shell Eastern Petroleum Products, Inc., located at Charlotte, N. C., so you see that '25 interests are farflung and insidious.

Even Paoli, Pa., has felt our influence, since Bill Chism has become an engineer for the Bell Telephone Company there.

Frank Wallis has recently become engaged to Miss Eleanor Braden o£ Beverly, Mass.—graduate of Skidmore, 1930. No plans have as yet been set for the wedding.

Social Notes: At a recent beer-drinking contest staged at the Copley Plaza in Boston between the '2sers and '27, we regret to report our sturdy representatives were beaten by a score of one burp, errored by Homer Tilton. Ken Hill led off in the relay, followed by Johnnie Garrod, Homer Tilton, Bob Rhodes, and Whitey White. Tilton burped just as things were going nicely, ruining our chances of victory, but »adding atmosphere and authenticity to the purpose of the gathering.

Incidentally, on the coming 30th of May, the local members of '25 and '24 are planning another of their now famous reunions and get-togethers at Pete Haffenreffer's farm in Bristol, R. I. Anyone who can possibly make the meeting should plan definitely to attend, as it is one of the best gatherings in these parts, featuring deeds of strength and daring and contests of all kinds between the rival factions. Tug-of-war and tip-the-elbow will be special attractions, and there will probably be the usual baseball game in the afternoon, as well as several surprise events of a sporting nature, which we guarantee will warrant your effort to be present.

Secretary, 67 Milk St., Boston
