Class of 1928
Things are coming along quite well recently—Louis has taken Baer, the Tigers just took the Cubs, Italy seems about to take the Ethiopians, and the Green has taken Norwich and Vermont. So far not a bad start—by December the situation should be well in hand.
But while we're on the subject, we'd better appraise you of the fact that Wild Bill Whaley, the Washington Flash, has persuaded Miss Ann Bradford of Evanston to marry him. Just a second while I dig up the announcement—invitation, rather—and it happens a week from Saturday, October 19, at St. Mark's church, Evanston, ILL. Funny thing, old Bill has his pick of the New York material without getting interested, gets transferred to Chicago, and immediately this happens. Which indicates to me, at least, that Miss Bradford must be quite 100%.
Speaking of weddings, etc., somebody, I forget who, told me the other day that somebody else, I can't remember that either, was scheduled to announce an heir sometime around November 23. The thing does seem a bit vague, so maybe we'd better wait and find out; besides it will give us some news a couple of months from now.
Newspaper clipping sent in by some unidentified gent in Syracuse says that Mr. and Mrs. M. Crouse Klock announce the engagement of Mrs. Klock's daughter, Miss Barbara Link, to one William G. Morton. We don't know exactly when this happened, but it says "last evening . . . .buffet supper .... guests attended theopening dance of the season at the University Club," and the envelope was postmarked "Syracuse, N. Y.—P. M., Sept. 30,1935," so you can figure it out for yourselves. Went on to state that the marriage will take place after the Yuletide holidays, which we identify as Christmas. Anyway, it had a swell picture of Bill's girl, or, if you prefer, a picture of Bills swell girl-and if we were in his place, we'd want to get the job done right away without waiting for Christmas.

El Drake has been vice-principal of the Theo. Roosevelt High School in Des Moines, lowa, for the past three years, which seems to be an excellent arrangement, as Al has spent the last three summers in Europe, this past summer as a director of a tour which hit seven countries. He says, it will be a pleasure to have someone else pay the bills." But it probably wasn't an economy measure that induced Al to save carfare to the West this fall and take on the job of director of guidance and research in the Newton Public School, Newton, Mass.—looks to us like a well deserved advance.
And, just in passing (we're getting up a poll), how many votes for Roosevelt—and how've you been?
Secretary, Wm. Iselin & Co. 357 Fourth Ave., New York
