Class of 1931
TOPLIFF HALL! 1931 Headquarters for Reunion. That's the latest flash. And it's a mighty fine choice on account of it's going to take a big dormitory to house the delegation we expect in Hanover this June.
The tentative costume selection is out for bidding from various places, and more about that later.

Do you know?

Mac McCullough, who is sales statistician for Gooderham & Worts in San Francisco, likes the weather out there, but understands the reason why Californians are such strong advocates of the Townsend Plan.
George Nickum wants to be at reunion, and he wants to be there very much. But 3000 miles is something—says George. And he adds, "Why not a cash prize for the onetraveling the longest distance to get toHanover?"

Forrie Norris is with the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company at 347 Madison Ave., New York City.
Only one note from Charlie McAllister out in Detroit, so far. And that one had some sort of a frame-up in it. Methinks Ping Ferry was mixed up in his preparations of a certain news column in the Detroit News.
A 1 Noyes is a traveling salesman for Oneida, Ltd. And that means Texas or Oklahoma for A 1 next June. That makes him number 2 for the Tenth.

Seth Revere is a resident physician at Monmouth Memorial Hospital, Long Branch, N. J. Says, "Working overtime fora total of $OOOO.OO weekly. Bet I'm the onlyThirtyoner in that kind of four figures."
Well, it looks like my space is about up. It certainly is a fine job to be Secretary to a class in which so many guys have planned on attending reunion without much ado from pleadings, bulletins, ballyhoo, el cetera. We may have to resort to some of that, but it doesn't look like we'll need it. Just be sure to read each mailing piece carefully, because very likely it will contain much of the dope you are looking for.
Secretary, 433 E. 51st St., New York
