Class of 1932
With its Hanover reunion a blissful, beery memory, Thirty-Two plunges back for another five-year tussle with the tides.
HARRY LITZENBERGER has ably chronicled reunion events in a breezy, informative check-up that swansongs his valuable term as Alumni Fund agent.
Among highlights of the festival, however, which can stand brief review at this time were: Thirty-Two's spanking Softball victory over Twenty-Seven with Capt. MACK, KRAMER, SHELDON, FOLEY, BONCOTTER, and SCULLY SMITH in the van of the attack; official designation of the SWENSON offspring as Class Baby; Herb West's terse class dinner speech; KELLER'S informal beer tent eloquence; YOUNG and MCCONNOCHIE in deep-throated song; SUNNY SUNDOWN paddling a mean canoe on Lake Morey; and WALSER! WALSER! WALSER!
Reunion marked the retirement from the presidency of 808 WILKEN, whose efforts in behalf of the Fifth (together with O'BRIEN'S overalls) were in great, measure responsible for its zooming success. HOWIE SARGEANT will replace Bob as president.
Also eligible for social security, from the point of view of services rendered, is CHUCK. OWSLEY, free from his fetters after half a decade of conscientious, capable scrivening. Chuck's law school address this year will be 49 Kirkland St., Cambridge, Mass.
JACK ELLIOT, whose drive East from Billings, Montana, established something of a record, topped off his stay with a visit to New York and a trip to Washington, whence he was lured by MACK and PYLES. JOHNNIE WRIGHT, whose re-election as treasurer reflected the touching faith of the class, accompanied Jerk to New York before heading back to Chicago.
JOHN SHELDON, who will be dunning you as class agent starting next spring, returned to Chicago via New York after a month's retail merchandising course at Harvard. While in Boston, John went to a baseball game with RED PORTER, who is working for a local paper concern. Concerning Red and others, he writes:
"Red is still an athlete, playing base-ball with a team in Beverly at the presenttime on week-ends. He is also an amateurphotographer of much talent, doing hisown developing, printing, enlarging, andmuch experimenting.
"One week-end I drove up to the WhiteMountains, and finding myself near Fryeburg, Me., drove over there to say hello to JOHN WESTON. He wasn't home, but I methis wife (who was JOE PIPE'S sister) and sawtheir plutnp one-year-old daughter. Mrs.Weston told me that her brother is doingquite well with the Gulf Oil Cos. in Boston.John is in business with his father—theyare cattle brokers—and the day I was therebusiness was thriving and John was over inConway picking up a calf."
Shifting scenes rapidly from that attractive rural setting, we find WALSER'S greetings on an Egyptian postcard. Cairo is a stopover on a long Cook's tour through Mediterranean ports which The Whip is helping to conduct. BILL COLE'S new address is at a point somewhat remote—U. S. Consulate, Vancouver, B. C.

Interviewed at Manchester, N. H., where he serves as newshawk and book critic on the Union-Leader, DON MACPHAIL declared in early August that the nuptials of 808 BUCKLEY were then imminent. Don also reported that soundings were also in evidence from PING FERRY'. Ping wrote from Detroit, reported that he was eying New England and Manchester particularly with the thought of settling there as newspaperman. Ferry returned to Detroit via Washington after several months in Puerto Rico, during which he allegedly occupied himself by playing the organ, writing a column for the local paper, and dealing in a nightly blackjack game.
JOHN CLARK, accompanied by his wife, is now on a vacation trip to Puerto Rico, and may possibly be able to supply some corroborative details concerning the Ferry legend on his return early in October, when ROD HATCHER reports he is expected in New York.

The following compendium of information relating to Stephen Shailer SWENSON, official Class Baby, was supplied by his pa: "The picture .... was taken this summer at thebeach, and although he is squinting a bit Ishould call it a good likeness of him whennot on the move, which isn't often. He wasborn on the 16th of May, 1932. This fall he isstarting in kindergarten at the age of fouryears and three months. He had to take somesort of examination to enter school beforefive years, which is the required age, and hepassed it—so that is about all the bragging I'lldo until we see how he makes out at Hanover."
STEPHEN SWENSON, CLASS BABY
