Class of 1919

We have been so busy sending off this and that concerning Commencement time and the big Fifteenth that we can hardly raise a feeble finger to punch a typewriter key. As for news, what little there has.been has been scribbled on the corner of some return postcard and now reposes in the desk of Louie Munro's secretary (dear little Marjorie, who spells Buttenwieser "Butthurish," and with some justification if you've ever seen his signature). We did hear from Butcher Tools Jim Wilson, who denies that he has become exceeding stout, and recently the Boston Herald was full of pictures of Charles Wesley Biddle posing all over the deck of the Britannic as she steamed into harbor. It did not mention that Charlie has come all the way from the Orient just for the Fifteenth, but he has.

But what is the use of all this? By the time the June ALUMNI MAGAZINE sees the light of day everybody will be on the way to reunion and set for three or four days of personal news collecting. To date about 100 have indicated a sufficient urge, and within a few days we expect this number to be considerably increased. Then there are always a few who find the urge too great at the last moment and suddenly turn up. creating a big sensation and making a very neat problem for the costume committee. All in all, it looks as if it were to be the biggest and best reunion we have ever had. Gradually our glorious class is overcoming the big handicap it was put under by the war. More and more men are coming to take an active interest in things generally, and pretty nearly the whole crew is getting to realize that a reunion is a thing that shouldn't be missed on any account.

Just one final word—if this reaches you before June 15, reach for your hat, climb into the old car, and turn her toward Hanover. All those other things can be done tomorrow, but it will be five long years before another reunion—and there will never be another Fifteenth.
