Class of 1927
The summer season is over, and vacations for 1936 are a thing of the past. Football again fills the sport pages, and the class of 1927 enters the tenth college year since its Commencement. Let's strive to make it our best, climaxing it in June with a reunion which will be second to none.
Our final standing in the Alumni Fund campaign was not nearly as bad as early Fund reports seemed to indicate. An intensive drive by Gus Cummings and his assistants during the last two weeks, together with the generous response from the class, resulted in a remarkable finish, which landed us in thirtieth place out of sixty classes. Seventy per cent of our living graduates contributed a total of a little over $1,500. This is slightly lower than our record of last year, and somewhat below \what we think the class should do. Nevertheless it was one of our best years, and we look for a real improvement next year. Again, our thanks to Gus Cummings for the tremendous amount of time and effort he gave to this difficult job.
Early in the summer we had a call from Wil Shaw, who was in Boston on business for a few days. In August Josh Davis dropped in for a couple of days.
Dinty Gardner reports running into Harry Wallace in Boston last month. Harry was in town to visit his brother, who is laid up in a local hospital. Dinty again skippered his boat, "Borogove II," on the Boston Yatch Club cruise, and spent most of the other summer week-ends at his favorite sport, sailing.
Your Secretary spent a most enjoyable week in July cruising along the northern coast of Maine with Barbara and Charlie Bartlett and friends, on the "Red Raider," a forty-four foot sloop. Charlie has resigned \his position as assistant U. S. attorney, \and has returned to the firm of Bartlett, Jennings, and Smith. He is still retained by the government as special assistant to handle the Polymet case, which is being appealed.
