Class of 1927
Upon perusing our column in the January issue, we find that our most willing and efficient ghost-writer slipped one over on us by adding a little paragraph of his own after he had left us in the hospital. Gus' comments regarding the need of this column for more material were no idle jests. Even with a wealth of material it would be difficult enough for us to sit down once a month and punch out an interesting column with our two fingers, and without sufficient material it becomes next to impossible. If each member of the class would consider it his responsibility to write us at least one letter per year, our toughest problem would be solved and this might develop into a bright and entertaining column.
We are pleased to report that we escaped from the hospital a week before Christmas, and that although the left wing is still wrapped in plaster everything is progressing smoothly, and within another few months we will be back to normal.
Once again, orchids to Guy Bostwick, the efficient whip of that lively and loyal New York crowd. On the special train to the Princeton game he reports seeing, in the bar car or elsewhere, Lloyd Eno, Eddie Webb, Frank Coulter, Sam Wormser, Ethan Hitchcock, Mike Ketz, Art Keleher and wife, Sykes and Helen Hardy, Bob Reinhardt, Paul Pierson, Frank Cloran, Ed Fry, and Monty Phillips.

CONGRATULATIONS TO NEW YORK
And why wouldn't it have been a grand party? Congratulations to the New York crowd, our hats are off. Twenty-nine present must have been an all-time high, and we personally would give our good arm to have been present.
Guy continues: "I learned that Ed Ruthhas been laid up for six or seven weeks witha heart attack, but in talking to his wife,Doris, I find that he is now able to sit upand the specialists have high hope that hewill be able to return to his job after thefirst of the year. Doris allows as how thereis a ray of sunshine in everything, since Edhas regained his long-lost boyish figure."
We are sorry to hear of your hard luck, Ed, and wish for your speedy recovery.
"I had a note from Ken Anderson on aDepartment of Commerce letterhead, regretting his inability to be with us at thedinner. He says that there are weekly Dartmouth luncheons in Washmgton with anattendance of about thirty. 'Among them isour old friend Paul Hannah, who is one ofthe up-and-coming tax lawyers of the nation's capital.' Ken admits, however, thathe misses the New York class dinners.
