Plainfields

LOCALLY WE ARE keeping the decks clear for the New York Alumni Dinner March 9th. Several colleges have sent walking delegates here to organize their alumni recently. It is not clear whether they are working under C. I. O. rules or under the A. F. of L. Some groups are to bowl and some just dine. The one with the best visiting troupe passed by Plainfield High School with an enrollment of over 2000 and another 1000 at North Plainfield H. S. only to exhibit their "ivory" at a small private school that gets a man into North Carolina once in a while. Imagine those disappointed thousands, who were waiting "To shake the hand of one who shook the hand of John L. Sullivan." Although we never furnished a varsity pitcher to Dartmouth, we still have a hop on the ball that the fellows will never figure out. (One day Louis Ekstrom '12 a came over from the Lehigh Valley and taught us the very point at which the ball should break to give us this hop.)
