Class of 1927
TWENTY-SEVEN'S BIG TENTH
The week-end of February 22, Gus Cummings and your Secretary traveled to Hanover, where we spent three days making final arrangements for the reunion. Outside of one or two special events which may be announced later, the program will include a brief class meeting with a showing of the class movies, a reception at Dick's House followed by the taking of the class picture on the front steps, a banquet Saturday night, and an all-day picinic at Shanty Shane on Sunday. This program, as you may see, leaves you plenty of time for visiting, browsing, golf, tennis, swimming, bullthrowing, or whatever you desire.
To date we have one hundred and thirty-six subscribers to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, which is not so good considering the fact that the MAGAZINE is to be practically our sole medium of publicity for the BIG TENTH. If you have not subscribed, you have received this issue of the MAGAZINE because we feel sure that you want to keep in touch with the reunion plans. Please justify our belief in your desire to be of assistance to the class by sending your dollar to Hanover at once. It will bring you the last four issues of the MAGAZINE for this year, with a lot of news about your class and all the dope on TWENTY-SEVEN'S BIG TENTH.
The best way we know of convincing you that this is going to be one swell party is to tell you the names of those who have already indicated their intentions of being there. One hundred and fifty-four to date! If you don't believe us, count them!

Well, well, well, isn't this a small old world. As we pen the rest of this column we are resting more or less comfortably in a bed at the Newton Hospital waiting for what we hope will be the last operation on our left wing. A pretty young nurse who just came in to hold our hand, and incidentally count the pulse, noticed "Dartmouth 1927" at the heading of this paper and informed us that she has a cousin in that illustrious class. Dick Griffin, now working for the Retail Credit Company in Portland, Me., is the cousin. My nurse and informant tells me that Dick is married and has recently built a home out in Falmouth, a suburb of Portland.
Dr. John Greener, Roentgenologist (X-ray specialist to you) of Brooklyn, N. Y., shows the spirit we like to see and states that he will definitely be on hand for the TENTH. He has also submitted an ex- cellent suggestion for a costume, which is being given serious consideration by your committee. Johnny's hobby is singing with the University Glee Club of N. Y. C. He is hereby appointed to organize a "barbershop" quartet for the reunion.

Attorney Paul O'Connell has been associated with the Worcester firm of Mirick & Whitcomb since 1930. Paul and his wife Helen have two daughters, Ann, age three, and Mary Lee, born last September. Paul will definitely be ii Hanover for the Big Tenth. We regret 'hat through error his name was not included on the above list.
Al Wise is a coniractor and builder in Hartford, Conn. He is still single, so we can see no reason whatever for Al's not being at the reunion.

Am. on the road except during thesailing season, and the company has beenriding along on the Roosetelt wave ofprosperity." If we were not an honest columnist we might have edited that last lineto read: "—riding along on the wave ofprosperity in spite of but hold on,let's not start any controversy here. Bob'shobby is sailing and racing on Lake Michigan. He formerly owned a cruising yawl,but now skippers a 22 square meter.
Steve Osborn must manage to keep pretty busy out in St. Paul, Minn., for he is president of one company and advertising manager of another. His main work is with the Halvorson Research Association, engaged in sewage disposal. Steve and his wife Lillian have two sons, Merritt, born June 22, 1928, and Thomas, born July 19, 1932.
Gus Lauber proves his first statement untrue when he says, "like most chemicalmen, lead very uninteresting life. Went toColumbia for one year after leaving Dartmouth to get M.A. degree. Married whilethere. Started with General Chemical Co.following summer. Am now superintendent of their plant here in Pulaski, Va. Aftermuch traveling around, have found thebest living in the world among what I always thought were hill-billies."

J., where they live with their two daughters, Valerie Ann, age five, and Mary Jane, age two.
Johnny Pike is still out in Chicago, his work being factory management, with the Kendall Company, we think. John says that after six years in Chicago he still thinks New England is a grand place.

George Provost is resident bank relations manager for the Commercial Credit Co., in Chicago. He is married, and says that his hobbies are beating Si Morand at squash, and reading one good book a month. George will definitely be at the Big Tenth.
Bob Funkhouser is an accountant with the Frigidaire Division of General Motors out in Dayton, Ohio, and if he doesn't come back for the Tenth we'll go on using our General Electric refrigerator and continue to drive our Ford. That ought to get him. Bob was married not long ago, to Miss Margaret Mann.
Jock Davis, the Eastern Apple King, says he is "In partnership with my father andbrother George '35, with farms in Sterling,Lancaster, and Bolton. Principal crops areapples, peaches, and milk. Live in Sterlingwinters and Bolton summers. Only business (farming) where you can lose moneyevery year and die with money in thebank." Jock is married, and will be at the reunion.
