Class of 1918
Louie Lee, New Yorker, is now advertising manager for Pall Mall cigarettes. . . . . George Kapff, Bostonian, is to be married in June H. S. Robinson, Westfield, Mass., leather goods man, made a Southern trip in March, but did not make Atlanta. Atlanta being the headquarters of your Secretary, if you must know. Which is as good a time as any to get in this plug: Gottschaldt-Humphrey, Inc., Atlanta advertising agency, has opened a branch office in Greensboro, N. C.
Barbara and Harvey Hood did some skiing at Sun Valley, Idaho, not so many weeks ago. .... Hort Kennedy and George Hull called on Mr. Tuck early this year. George writes: "Saw Mr. Tuck theother day before he left for Monte Carlo.Ninety-four and, still keen, marvelousmemory, and looks about 60. Hort livesnear me—l think he will be the first American banker in Paris in ten years—doingvery well. Shall try very hard to make the20th and bring my family."

Hua Huang is at 492 Av. du Roi Albert, Apt. 401, Shanghai, China. Clarence H. Lewis is "lost, strayed, or stolen." Letters address to him have been returned. Anyone know where the lad is?
Have a letter signed "Al," on the stationery of the Paramount Pictures, Inc., Times Square, N. Y. Have a hunch it's Al Rice, but am not sure. In all events, the mysterious "Al" recuperated from the flu by shooting quail in South Carolina during January A note from Tom Campbell, our Denver delegate, reads in part: "I enclose a copy of the Rocky Mountain Churchman issue of Feb. 7,1937, which recently came into my possession. Whichsimply goes to show what a versatile, übiquitous bird our own Red is. I regret that Imissed his appearance here, but maybe I'llbe able to corner him in New York someday and be able to reap the benefit of a fewinspirational dicta—if, that is, I can catchhim sober."
The story in the church paper has to do with one "Stanley Jones." It starts off this way: "What a name! Two words, twelveletters. But what a character! What adynamo! How simple, how sincere!" Far be it from us to argue with Tom, so we await further word from Stan (Red) as to his evangelical endeavors. By the way, Tom's son Dick is a freshman at Hanover.
Chuck Palmer and A 1 Gottschaldt represented the class at the Dartmouth-in-Dixie Pow Wow, held in Atlanta early in April. Dean Neidlinger and Secretary Haywarcl came down from Hanover; Alumni Counselors Kendall '99 and Milham '06 came in from Washington, D. C., and Williamsburg, Va., to help make the affair a real event. We are indebted to Bob Fish, 20th reunion chairman, for a grand reportmuch of it to be used in "The Roar."
We pick up a few items for inclusion in these columns. The Dartmouth dinner held in New York City on March 9 was memorable on more than one count. It witnessed the largest turnout of members of the class of 1918 since our 15th reunionthirty-two of them! That proves that the class was not shot to pieces during or because of the War, and that there is a latent reunion fever among them. Now if we can get the right mosquitoes to bite, we should have an excellent turnout for the aoth shindig! .... Bob then goes on to tell some things about various ones present, which will make sweet and juicy reading for the w.k. "Roar." He also commanded us: "If any of this is of interest or assistanceto you in compiling your column, snap itup and dish it out, but keep your Pinkerton man's name out of the story or youwill destroy his effectiveness for futurework (?)."
About time to have some of you ducks put your name on the line for the informal, in advance, pre-and-so-on reunion to be held by the class in Hanover this June. The general idea is to meet up there at Commencement time, do a little bit of everything and line up plans for the big 20th to be staged just one year later to the day. If you can arrange to get up there, get in touch with Bob Fish at the Lightolier Company, Jersey City, N. J., and he'll save a place in a foursome for you, or a comfortable chair at the Eighteen bridge table.
Soon now, you'll be hearing from Frank Clahane, class agent. Need we say more?
Secretary, 812 Norris Bldg., Atlanta, Ga.
