Once more we are up to bat, and expect to make a hit. Norvie Milmore, the watchdog of our treasury (and a Yankee like myself), says that the funds are very low. However, this first issue of the MAGAZINE is going to all Fifteeners. Not necessarily as a bait; but, honestly, with the hope that the sending of it would bear fruit. Norvie has included an epistle which is self-explanatory. This class of ours was not too bad in college, spirited as all get out;—so let's keep going. 1940 will soon be here.

And by the way! So many of the class feel that at our 25th reunion in 1940 we should have something in the way of a gift (in the nature of a scholarship, perhaps) to the College, that undoubtedly a campaign will be started shortly. Kell Rose is working on it at the present time. It will not be at all painful, so please do not aggravate from this paragraph any jitters that you may already have. In the meantime send in that three dollars to Norvie, 34 Bellevue Road, Swampscott, Mass.

Arrangements are being made for some sort of a reunion-get-together the night before the Harvard-Dartmouth game, on Friday evening, Oct. 22. Undoubtedly the affair will take place at the Parker House. If you do not receive a card, get in touch with Dale Barker, Jason St., Arlington, Mass. We will attempt to cover everyone likely to be in Boston at that time, but if we "muff," get in touch with Dale. We guarantee, also, that this affair will be without pain.

We have explored a bit during the summer,—spent a day at Hanover during Commencement, and lent a helping hand to Don Bennink, Charlie Griffith, Gov Jordan, String Downing, and Earl Clough. They did not need much help, but we were there in case of an emergency. Hanover,why not? Any time one can get there, and no day-dream either.

Just do not know how to use my thunder,—must save some for another day; but, anyhow, Doc Noyes is still factotum in and around Duxbury, Mass., and will entertain any and all of you to the "nth" degree, as we know from experience Gabe Walker of Chicago spent the summer in Duxbury Earl Clough is now at 220 Warren St., Allston, Mass Walter Wanger has been East recently, and spent a part of his time (maybe money) in Hanover.

Ed Wilson is in the practice of orthopaedic surgery in Columbus, Ohio; and more than that is a professor at the Ohio State University (College of Medicine). . . . . Herb Potter, busy as ever in the investment game, is now on Carver Road, Newton, Mass.

Bud Doe of Harvard, Mass., is just starting to harvest his crop of approximately 5000 bushels of apples. We offered to help him (in a light tone of voice, naturally), but he said no Adam Sutcliffe is reported, one time and another, either iri Pawtucket or down on the Cape—his latest venture seems to have been to acquire the old Sandwich (Mass.) glass plant in which to tie strings onto the tags which he prints, or something. Adam always had a notion. . . . . A 1 Bradley goes and goes and goes, with General Motors. What a man!

So much for now. Keep Norvie Milmore in mind, however. If ever the class of 1915 needed help, it needs it now. A word to the wise is sufficient, and our class always was, and still is, wise.
