Class of 1925
We hope you have had a good summer and will let us have a little news about yourself for the succeeding issues of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. Of necessity the class notes will be rather brief in this issue.
The summer seems to have done things to some of the boys, and Bill Thompson of Lowell and hardware fame is reported engaged to Kay Trumbull of Cambridge, Mass. We hear rumors about several of the other local yokels, but definite information is lacking. June nuptials, however, include Haven Belle Johnstone and Eddie Blake on the sth at Atlantic Highlands, N. J.; Virginia Hoxsey and Ford Barrett on the 25th at Spokane, Wash.; and Esther Kelley and Lang Spring on the 20th at Portland, Me. Cousin Dr. Jack Spring was best man and Joe Leavitt an usher. Lang was reported very serious, but came through bravely at the last. After a motor trip to Maine and Quebec they settled down in Cambridge.
Dick Holden spent two weeks this summer doing the Yellowstone and Mid-Western cities. He saw Chuck MacMillan in Detroit, and reports him hale and hearty but still a bachelor. Doug Archibald was in Boston recently, and caused a Kappa Sig reunion at Marblehead which included Lou Kimball, Charlie Hayward, Nate Bugbee, Whitey, and one ringer, Bill Sleigh. The two latter and Ken Hill took their annual cruise in Whitey's sloop to Maine, stopping to see Prexy Hopkins at Mt. Desert. Whitey and Bill continued on to Nova Scotia. Bill Jenkins was in Boston this summer for his annual homecoming and saw a number of the gang. Ben Werntz's wife and children have been summering in Hanover, and Ben came on in September to join them after a successful struggle with the law books.
We plan to have some guest writers for this column this year from key cities such as New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland, and the Twin Cities. This is aimed to keep the news from becoming localized and to bring out items certain to be overlooked from this stamping ground. In the meantime we hope you will take a personal responsibility in getting the boys to subscribe to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, which not only is well worth the $2.50, but also is the best means of keeping the pulse on college and class affairs.
In closing, we wish to thank K and Bob McKennan for the many interesting notes they provided during the recent successful Alumni Fund campaign. Also Whit Campbell for his regular monthly news about the goings-on in Chicago and vicinity. Remember we are always glad to receive notes about yourself or any other '25ers.
