Class of 1912
This is written October 9—right after a telephone conversation with Ray Cabot (Boston-New York charges NOT reversed), and if any body was happy that old man was Ray Cabot himself. Of the 35 men written to just a couple of weeks agoforming the Big Committee for the bigger 25th—32 replies came back—and mostly with letters instead of just the post card. Of that 32 every single one was ON HIS WAY to Hanover.

Through the reunion committee—with Ray Cabot at the helm—every igi2er will duly receive full details as well as personal correspondence. In the meantime if you have any ideas that you think will be helpful Ray Cabot will be glad to receive them —address—75 Federal St., Boston, Mass.

The old ego of 1912 rose to a new high when on Sunday night, October the 4th— the Chase & Sanborn national radio hookup—presented the Hon. James R. Erwin— acting as judge in its "Good Will Court" hour.
Queechie French was heard from around New York recently, but he got away.
The next issue of the MAGAZINE will, we are sure, report some interesting gatherings before and after the important football games in Boston, New Haven and New York as well as Hanover. Send in any news, so we can spread the word around that we still recognize one another and how.
Nineteen twelve is in HIGH—tank full- on a record non-stop flight to Hanover in June, 1937.
Secretary, 298 Fingerboard Rd. Ft. Wadsworth, Staten Island, N. Y.
