Class of 1919
Gale is heard from for the first time since he went to the Princeton game without any tickets. He writes to state that he will schuss us for money or marbles on any mountain we want to pick. But that is next year. The challenge is issued as the first warm suns bring down the floods and he packs to do a little time in Bermuda. However we will meet next winter at Moosilauke.
And speaking of floods reminds us of Nick Sandoe. It seems he did a trifle of patent law work for some good friend, and neglected to send a bill. After a reasonable wait his client realized that Nick was doing him a favor and in appreciation sent down two cases of very fine whiskey. A few days later, when the press was crammed with news of the Merrimack and Connecticut on 'he loose, he received the following wire, 'Flood has just reached here with devastatms effect stop completely inundated—Nick."
Abe Winslows Squeaks from the Golden Gate contribute two bits of news. 1. Cotty Larmon is on his way to the Pacific Coast, where he will be the Guest of Honor (the phrase is Abe's) at the annual dinner in San Francisco. As we write these notes a fnfle late as usual, he is probably swapping lies with McCrea and Townsend in room 316 preparatory to joining the boys downstairs. 2. At the Northern California Ski Party Karl Baldwin was mentioned as the only real expert in the gang. He distinguished himself by running down several mountains in record-breaking time.
Max Norton, worn out from being treasurer of so many things, or overcome by the shock of seeing some of them in the black again had to go back to Florida for a vacation. We haven't the details, but knowing a few of the thousand things Max does in Hanover, we can think of no one who rated a vacation more.
From the Alumni Records Office comes word that Paul White is with Western Union Telegraph Cos., Omaha, Neb., George Rayner at 44 Westernview St., Springfield, Mass., Art O'Neill at Douglaston, L. 1., and Russ Steininger at 5540 Hyde Park Blvd., Chicago, I11. And from the same source we hear that the following men are lost: Ralph Meader, Ken Keely, Ken Matheson, and Kel Pette. If anyone knows where these men are located now, will you please let me know, so we can keep the class records up to the minute.
It wouldn't be fair to lay off without a word about the Alumni Fund. The committee wants to give the college $100,000 this year, and that seems like little enough after the lean years. If we are to do our part in this everybody has got to come through this year. Although Spider has worked harder and harder each year through the depression and done a great job, still we are not occupying the relatively high spot we used to in the standing of the various classes. We ought to be up on top—and then too we have our class fund to bolster up if we are to make the College a handsome gift at the time of our 25th reunion. If everyone would give what he could we would make the grade with flying colors. Let's all come through this year, and do it early so Spider can have a night oil once a week.
Secretary, 27 Coolidge Hill Rd., Cambridge, Mass.
