Class of 1931
As usual, Beanny Thorn comes through with a very brilliant suggestion. This time he gives the credit to his wife. Says Craig, why not form a '31 parade, emanating from New York and Chicago, picking up prearranged meetings with Thirtyoners along the way, and a gala formation from White River into Hanover at an appointed time? What do you think?
And while we're on the subject of what-do-you-thinks, please send your "yes" or "no" in on the following question: "Shall there be planned entertainment for the wives?" Or will they simply leave their husbands alone and find things to do by themselves? Or will they stay at home? The accumulation of sentiment received by your Secretary will soon be tabulated, and that opinion which has the largest number of similar votes will be decided upon automatically. Is that a satisfactory arrangement?
And here is a challenge! The class of 1930 (believe it or not) has put up a cup which shall be awarded to that class which has the largest number of men present at reunion. They promptly took the first annual award themselves by turning out some little old hundred and sixty—or something —last June. Well, if there is anything we would rather do, collectively, than beat any record posted by the class of 1930, it has yet to be called to the attention of this column. And it would be nice to take that cup.
Comes the resurrection of one Frank NichoL: "Just a few lines to tell you" that he's now assistant professor of European history in Harvard; has an A.M. and Ph.D., in spare time corresponded sufficiently and well enough to earn a 2d lieutenancy in the 615 Coast Artillery, United States Army, still shoots over 80 in knickers. He reminisces as follows: "Wish SamGroves would tell me what I talked aboutafter my Ph.D. exam; finding Bill Wilson'scard at my domicile (missed you by twohours, Bill, and how is the Philadelphialiquor commission these days?); usheringThad Smith and party at the wedding ofPaul Dunn '32 in Winchester, Mass.; driving around Boston with roomie SheetThomas and laughing together over howfunny Charlie Babbitt looked the day thestove blew up at the Co-op Eating Cluband so on into the night." Also he's number 82 to say "See you at the Fifth."
Eddie Elmer sends some find news along: about himself, he's supervisor of music in the schools of Farmington and Unionville, Conn. He contacts about one thousand students and forty teachers—quite a job. On May 27 he became a papa to Miss Cynthia Elizabeth Elmer, who was born in Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital. He saw McCord and Cukor in Hanover, and often sees the Hartfordites George and Kay Howard. He says Charlie Roberts has just begun his internship at Boston City Hospital. Al McLean is also with the Hartford Hospital, along with George Howard, Charlie Hubbard is with the Travelers in Hartford. Eddie says Bill Geiger and wife took Hanover in on their honeymoon. And he's number 83 with a "See you at the Fifth."

Harriet and Jack Weatherley are back to their new home and purring as you'd expect. Ask them about Bermuda. And ask me too. It would be a great place to hold an unofficial '31 reunion sometime. And as for honeymooning, it's had a wonderful reputation for a long time—greatly under-rated.
Where is number 84 with a "See you atthe Fifth"?
