Norv Milmore, our energetic treasurer, reports some 125 class members having cashed up to him, dues and MAGAZINE subscription included. His first broadcast was sent to the 384 men on the mailing list; the next, an appeal, to the 259 remaining outside the gate. Naturally, Norv is discouraged; but having been treasurer for the preceding five years, we should think Norv ought to be encouraged,—a new broom is supposed to sweep clean, and Norv has built up the clientele some over twenty-five per cent from what we were able to do our last year. However, those of you who read these items should dust around a bit and stir up the remaining 259, or the part of them with whom you come in contact, and insist that they respond to Norv for dues, and Tap for news, and forget rhyme or reason, as of yore. A word to the wise should be sufficient, and more so. Just pass the word to those outside the gate, that,—three minutes, three cents, three dollars, will do a world of good. We take no tare, but will credit in advance.
We question whether we ought to advertise in these columns, as above, or politically; but you are the cause of it, so here goes: Bill Rogers, now completing (if Congress ever completes anything) his fourth term in that august body, has recently announced his candidacy for the United States Senate from New Hamphire Bill should know the works, but whether or no, New Deal, old deal, or plain deal, .... let him page for assistance some of our other 1915 politicians,- jack Warren, Ken Washburn, Ed Dewing, Russ Chase, and Hal Davison.
Milt Ghee, that stuffy little devil, who used to carry a football, or else throw it, but never drop it, ... . then went advertising for various people (McCall's since 1925), Has been promoted to western manager of McCall's Magazine, his headquarters now being in the Palmolive Bldg., Chicago. Milt should now have the Royal Oak out of Oak Park.
We happened to be in Hartford, Conn., just before the high water (we had a flood up here in 1927), and while we could not even get invited out to lunch by our old roommate, Johnny Mullin, we did eventually stir up Jack Burbank. Jack is now with the Travelers as superintendent of engineering and inspection, after having been with Macy's in New York for a considerable time. Another Hartfordite, Leo Burt, we could not find, but he is still on earth, we know,—always active in the Hartford Alumni Association.
Charlie Comiskey is at 364 Broadway, N. Y., with Charles Chipman's Sons, and plays squash a bit around the Dartmouth Club, .... Jack Moloney is now deputy collector of internal revenue with headquarters at St. Albans, Vt Johnnie Johnson reports that he is reaching the second stage in man's life, whatever that may be Roy Johnson is with the Sun Life in Jacksonville, Fla Dick Merrill was recently elected vice president of the Boston Alumni Association Hal Corwin is with the National Bank at Hopkinton, Mass Carl Swenson is with the contracting firm of Foley Bros., New York, as vice president Joe Comstock conducts a civil service coaching school in Los Angeles George Reed can be found at the offices of Studebaker Sales Company of New England.
