Class of 1917
As we move a month closer to the TREMENDOUS TWENTIETH the Reunion Committee (announced in this column last month) is getting organized, and Chairman Towler will announce in the very near future his active working committees, and from preliminary reports he is leaving no stone unturned in his endeavor to make this reunion TREMENDOUS in every respect. The first executive committee meeting will be held on Friday night before the Princeton game, a report of which we will be able to give you next month. From the College we have discovered two more sons of Seventeen in the freshman class—Daniel L. Harris, son of Dan Harris, and Howard A. Stockwell Jr., son of Stocky Stockwell. This brings our total representation to three, including Derrill deS Trenholm Jr. We might add that Stocky will be sending boys to Dart- mouth for several years to come, having a son aged 17, another 15, and another 11 (having no recent report we cannot be sure this is the complete story, except to state that we do know he has two daughters, ages 9 and 6).
Congratulations to the Boston gang! The night before the Harvard game they held a class dinner at the University Club, and either due to Bunny Holden's energy or to early TREMENDOUS TWENTIETH enthusiasm a turn-out of twenty-two men resulted in the most successful class party in Boston in many years. As might be expected our reporter carefully neglected all detail's except for a list of those present (and the accuracy of this we doubt)—G. L. Nourse, Len Shea, Will Fitch, Sam MacKillop, Howie Stockwell, Fred Spearin, Don Norton, Roy Halloran, Connie Murphy, Jim Fox, Hunk Stillman, Pete Olds, Walt Ferguson, George Clark, Johnny Wheelock, Sunny Sanborn, George Currier, Spike Maclntyre, Bunny Holden, Wendell Reycroft, Nick Carter, and Phil Evans.
From Bob we have learned that the Scotts' post-Yale-game party was held as usual. You remember that after the jinxbreaking game last year the Scotts had to remodel and redecorate, but according to our reporter this was not necessary this year, and if you attended the game you would readily understand why—no one could have had sufficient nervous or physical energy left to even break a glass. No complete list is available, but we have heard a few names mentioned—Don Brooks, Gene Tolmer, Jack Saladin, Bunny Holden, Spike Maclntyre, Roy Halloran, Ev Robie, Len Shea, Russ Fisher, Heinie Wright, Butch Sherman, with their wives and women.
Every year after the Scotts' party, Bob has asked us to report that various and sundry articles have been left at his house. In accordance with this annual custom he requests that we give due publicity to the fact that he now has a brown steamer robe which he did not have before the party. He will gladly return this to its owner upon demand.
In the October 15 issue of the New YorkState Journal of Medicine our roving eye discovered a very unusual and interesting article by Roger Haggerty, M.D., of Arkport, N. Y., entitled "A Report of Poisoning by CicutaMaculati"—which, when translated, may mean any of the following comman plants: water hemlock, water parsnip, muskrat weed, cowbane, children's bane, and eight or ten others. The gist of the article is "Don't eat water hemlock or let your children eat it." Anyway, it is an excellent article concerning a subject which few of us know anything about.
Secretary, Craig House, Beacon, N. Y.
