1925*

At the invitation of the Executive Committee the Secretary will continue on until the Fifteenth Reunion in 1940. The Executive Committee also approved the 100% Group Subscription Plan for 1925, and you all will have been apprised of this, previous to your receipt of this first issue of the MAGAZINE. We make but one quick pleasend in your check to Pete Haffenreffer, P. O. Drawer 3, Bristol, R.I., immediately if you have not already done so. He has a big job, and it's our job to see that it is done in the manner in which 1925 has done other jobs in the past few years.

The Secretary attended his first meeting of the Secretaries Association in May and his twelfth and last meeting of the Alumni Council in June. One of the chief matters approved at both meetings was the 100% Plan, and we all can be proud that 1925 was one of the first classes to sign up

With the aid of the Executive Committee the Reunion Committee has been formed and is as follows:—chairman, Frank Wallis of Boston; members, Pete Blodgett of Boston, Chet Bolles of New York, Bob Borwell of Chicago, Twist Elmquist of St. Paul, Bill Griffin of New York, Pete Haffenreffer of Bristol, Lou Kimball of Boston, Ken Montgomery of Chicago, Bill Pugh of Philadelphia, Jack Reeder of Detroit, Bill Sleigh of Boston, Chan Walker of Washington, Tubby Washburn of Chicago, Bennie Werntz of Cleveland, Ford Whelden of Detroit, and Whitey White of Boston

Of course, you all have seen the results of the Alumni Fund campaign. Connie Conrad, Art Dewing, and sub-agents did a grand job again—92% in both contributors and quota. But we might as well face the fact that we really failed to support Connie this year. Ninety-nine graduates failed to give even a dollar—99 out of 371. Without the splendid showing of a large number of non-grads the results would be pretty dismal. We must get a great many of those 99 back on the rolls next year, and we must get more men into the higher brackets. Many men have given $5.00 for years who now could give more. Here's the way the contributions lined up this year: 3 gave $75 each 22 gave $25 to $5O each 21 gave $l2 to $2O each 48 gave $10 each 103 gave 15 to $8 each 78 gave less than $5

Paul Jerman has moved—after "selling the house at a profit." Brad Kingman has been appointed headmaster of the Bancroft School, one of the leading country day schools in the Boston district. Brad had been dean of the Nichols Junior College since 1933. A wah-hoo-wah to you, Brad, and to Pete Haffenreffer, recently elected treasurer of the Narragansett Brewing Company. Max Emerson has moved from New York to Boston, Carl Bridenbaugh from Boston to Providence, John Pike from Minnesota to Milan, N. H., and Tom Carpenter from Chicago to Knox College in Galesburg. Jack Norris of Rochester has accepted the district secretaryship for Upper New York, and writes that Harry Crawford, also of Rochester, is the coming orthopaedic surgeon in town, and has a very attractive wife and family—boy, James, about two years of age and girl, Betsy, about three months. Ross Beatty is treasurer of the Beatty Lumber Company, retailers in Chicago and the northeastern part of Illinois. Ross and Mrs. Beatty are in the midst of building a new home in Beverly Hills, Chicago. Ross sent us a candid camera shot of some of the Quarters at the Lake Delavan reunion in June—Neil Williams, Len Larson, Whit Campbell, Bob Borwell, Sherm Barnett, Tom Carpenter, Carl Clifton, Joe Murphy, and Ken Montgomery. We have filed the picture in the class records; —there are one or two pretty portly midsections showing! .... Another bachelor is lost—we'll have to check up and see how many are left. Miss Elizabeth Quinn of Smith College 1934 and Brookline, Mass., and Bill Sleigh have their marriage date set for September 17. And still anotherwith the announcement of the engagement of Miss Mary Franklin and Bill Bunting. Lang Spring and Mrs. Spring are the proud parents of Edward, born August 8. A wah-hoo-wah to Ford Barrett of Spokane, last June elected president of the Washington State Association of Real Estate Boards. Ford and Mrs. Barrett have recently added two rooms and a bath to their home to take care of Virginia Ann, born last March 31. Len Boyce, after two seasons in Nushagak, Alaska, is now agent in Astoria, Oregon, for the West Coast Life. He expects to make the Stanford Caravan.

The Secretary expects to be in New York on October 15, to meet wife Gertie returning from England. We then plan to take in the Harvard and Yale games and hope to bump into a lot of Quarters during those two weeks.
