Larry also reports that he saw Don Herlihy from Wilmington, Del., at the Yale game.
In regard to business, Larry Sr. has sold out his interest in automobile and opened a real estate office.

In northern New Jersey a dance at the Essex County Country Club followed the Princeton game, with a record attendance of 375. The affair was so successful that it is anticipated to make it an annual function. All Twenty-six men who attend the game may make plans in the future for joining this very fine party.
Mr. and Mrs. Wagener, Dallas, Texas, again sent to your Secretary a large box of Texas Pecans, which I have said before is indicative of their interest in the entire class.
On Thursday, February 7, the class of 1926 in the New York area held a dinner at the Dartmouth Club, New York, which was attended by about go members. The recent athletic movies were received from Sid Hayward and thoroughly enjoyed. Amongst other information corralled at the dinner, we find that Chuck Webster has been transferred from Philadelphia to New York and can be reached in c/o Air Reduction Sales Cos. at 60 East 42d St.
S. Holt McAloney is with Time, Inc., doing publicity work for the "March of Time." Hal Johnston, with Stein, Hall, & Company at 285 Madison Ave., operated the movie machine, and appeared to be the only one at the dinner who could successfully handle this job.
Hank Merry has a responsible position with the B.V.D. Company, and can be reached at 144 East 36th St. The barristers (according to Allen MacDuffie the word is barrister) present were Morey Quint and Allen MacDuifie, sharing separate offices together at 63 Wall St., and yours truly.
Hank F.squerre, superintendent of the marine division of the Travelers Insurance Company, and "Million Dollar" Cleary appeared to be the only ones high in the financial world, since they are planning to take in the Dartmouth Alumni Carnival over the week-end of February 23.
The rest of the contingent consisted of "Nick" Nickerson, doing Chase National Bank work, .... Ken Godfrey at 45 Wall St George Scott, the only '26 occupant o£ the Dartmouth Club .... Jack Bickford, 24 Monroe Place, Brooklyn .... Harold VanDuyn, with Lord & Taylor ... .

It was decided at the dinner to have a big tjme '26 affair this spring. A committee will be named by Charlie Singleton, and it is hoped that the 140 members of 1926 living in the metropolitan area will plan to attend with their respective wives or something.
Sid Hayward has asked me to advise the class through these columns that copies of the 1926 Aegis can be secured from Miss Lynne Oakes of the Goodwill Book Shop at 2416 East 9th St., Cleveland, Ohio, for the nominal sum of $.50. Anybody desiring copies can write direct, and should do so in a hurry, as only a few copies are left.
Dexter Wilbar is the senior partner in a new law firm in Brockton, Mass., now operating under the name of Wilbar, Wainwright, Dorn, and Stone. Also, I have received a letter from someone—Bill Nigh, I think—describing Stormy Hartley's activities as an executive in the "Utopian Society" of southern California. Stormy is a big shot in this organization, founded by Upton Sinclair, and evidently supported pretty popularly on the West Coast.
