Letters (probably bearing 11/2& stamps) are flashing over the country "in an attempt to make the 1925 reunion the best possible. Of course, it is difficult to see how 1925 could possibly put on a good reunion, considering the subject matter. They will have Pete Blodgett's cannon, but that is the only noise which they appear to be able to make since the loss of the freshman picture fight back in the spring of 1953.

All of which reminds us that the 10th Reunion of 1926 should far outdo that of 1925, to follow the precedent set throughout college and at the 3d and sth Reunions. Now is the time to talk it up. Start the Reunion Fund the same as you have started your Christmas Club, and we guarantee that if you put a $1.00 a week away you can have the best time of your life at the 10th before you join the ranks of the sedate old-timers. Your committee will start functioning in short order, so be on the lookout for news.

Jack and Dorothea Roberts of 14 Claremont Ave., Bloomfield, N. J., announce the arrival of John Wayland Roberts Jr., on February 24, 1935, weighing 8 pounds and 5 ounces.

A second addition to the 26 family is the subject of further congratulations to Bob May and wife. Bob's first letter failed to arrive.

"Away back in December, your secretarymust have spotted in your mail pile atypewrtiten Gimbel envelope addressed toyou. 'Aha. Trying to sell something to theboss!' she probably exclaimed. 'I'll fool'em! It's probably lousy, anyhow!' And theletter forthwith found the trash-basket.Which helps explain why departmentstores use so little direct mail advertising.(Hope Ed Miller isn't still in that business.)

"This time, as you see, I've fooled yourguardian by using a plain envelope, and ascrawl that couldn't belong to anyone buta Dartmouth '26er. All this strategy merelyto tell you that Barbara May was born onDecember 2. Six and one-half pounds, andso far has proved a good investment;doubled in just 21/2 months!

Otherwise, nothing new. Still tellingthe truth, more or less, for GimbeVs.

"808 MAY"

"Squeaks from the Golden Gate," the Northern California bulletin, reports that Dick Husband was recently in San Francisco on a visit from back East, with reports that he still looks the same and has very definite ideas on the subject of Psychology, in fact as reported earlier, a psychology textbook was the outcome. The "Squeaks" also reports as follows.

A HALF HITCH TO THE CLASS OF '26

Dartmouth snow birds! DON HOFFMAN and RITCHIE SMITH, both '26, took time off the job to pierce the snow country at Soda Springs in January 15 feet of snow and still falling when they arrived; then the sun and perfect skiing. Don stood the elements very well, but Ritchie finds the need for a rest cure in the Islands, and sails February 5 on the Mariposa for Hawaii. He will be away until May 1, and he says he is on business. Draw your own conclusions; Ritchie represents Ginn & Company, and I hope Treasurer Al Priddy hears of this in Boston.

Such a class, these 1926 boys. Don is going to take on more snow, February 16, and this time the Mrs. will go along. Ritchie resorts to the warmer climates, and BILL NIGH says, "to h ... . with the snow,San Francisco is good enough for me," and sticks to his bridge and golf.
