Class of 1917

This is still the TREMENDOUS TWENTIETH publicity section shoveling. Chuck and Mrs. Gilmore have been dallying on Florida's sunny strands for a time, soaking up vitamins and enjoying an overdue vacation. Hence the monthly column is given over completely to the affairs of the approaching reunion, which after all, is the big news for the next three months.

But Chuck's vacation does provide too good an opportunity to miss,—that of spreading uncensored on the record a brief word of appreciation for his five years of service as Secretary. With all due credit to others who have supported his efforts to widen class activities, he has been the mainspring that kept the wheels turning and that has never run down. He has given his time and energy without reservation and should take solid satisfaction in the increasing effectiveness of class contributions to the affairs of the College. In other words, he's done a swell job, so come on back in June and tell him so.

"Marching Along Together—" those two jolly fellows SEVEN and TEEN Fall in behind them for the TREMENDOUS TWENTIETH

Less than ten weeks to go before heading for Hanover and three grand days. This is an interim report of progress, that will shortly be' supplemented by the second direct-mail release to the entire mailing list, carrying the first announcement of TREMENDOUS TWENTIETH reuners. This was to have been sent out in March, but in the interests of economy was held over until about the middle of April. Re. turns have been coming in from the first letter, and without going into details, everything continues to point to a big time in the old town next June. Continued progress has also been made in smoothing out many of the little odds and ends, and the reunion budget has come in for its share of attention. Watch for further dope about the fifteenth of the month, but make your mind up now that you're really going to miss something special if you don't come.

You'll get a kick out of recent snapshots of Seventeeners that we aim to publish in this forthcoming Tee-Tee News—but don't forget that a lot of the boys would get the same kick out of seeing yours in there too. We want more photos,—of you or your family. Even if you have to sneak one out of Junior's album, send it in with your questionnaire to Chuck with a special request to return it, and it will come back to you undamaged.

And how about photos of the kids? The kind we like to get came in from Trenny a little while ago, showing the Major himself and a likely looking youngster almost as big as the old man, who is due to be all through at Hanover by our Twenty-fifth. Trenny in bathing trunks doesn't have any more fat on him than he ever did, and looks ready to step the high hurdles in 15 seconds. (Moral: join the army and keep your tummy flat.)

So come on, you papas, let's have a look at the rising generation,—but do it right away. The Tee-Tee News goes to press almost immediately.

As a little preliminary to the main event, a representative gang showed up for the New York alumni dinner March 9 at the Commodore, starting things off at the Dartmouth Club, second floor front. The chief topic of conversation was the TREMENDOUS TWENTIETH, with many good suggestions being passed along to the committee and a very evident determination on the part of the majority to get more men to Hanover in June than Gawge Currier's Boston delegation. Seventeen was officially represented at the head table by Don Aldrich, who gave the invocation. During the discussion of reunion plans, Gene Towler emphasized the importance of sending the $10 advance payment on the reunion tax when sending the registration blank. The class treasury is in normally healthy condition, but Don Brooks is very anxious to keep it so, and since reunion is individually financed, the downpayment idea seemed the logical way to handle necessary advance expenditures. Make the check payable to Don (as usual) and your Hanover installment will be that much lighter.

Stand by for further news of the TREMENDOUS TWENTIETH, uniform measurements, costs, transportation arrangements, and especially, WHO'S COMING.
