Class of 1915

Bill Huntress, our energetic chairman, said in last month's issue of this good MAGAZINE: "More on this, next issue." And what he says is this: "From the 14thday of June, 1940, on,—as nearly 100% ofthe class as can attend our 25th will do so." Bill used the word "humanely" in connection with the 100%. We are not so sure but what Bill should be writing these items, his rhetoric is good. Never mind, Bill will get you boys back. And here is what Bill has dug up, in addition to committees named last month:

REUNlON—Huntress, Barker, Bowler, Bennink, Foster, Merrill, Mullin, Parchert, Reynolds, and Rose.

HOSPITALITY—BowIer, Austin, Low, Montsie, Porter, and Sargent.

COSTUMES—ReynoIds, Clough, Comiskey, Henderson, Sutcliffe.

ATTENDANCE-Dale Barker, and what a committee he has working with him! Fifty, but space does not permit mention of the entire roster. You will hear from them,—do not worry.

Now, let us hear from some of the boys: Jack Bowler, with a letterhead carrying at least nineteen names up front, says: "Ialready have as large a collection of goosefeathers as I can carry." Jack does not need to worry,—this secretary of yours knows that Jack can handle a situation, busy as he is, .... John Mullin says, as regards the picnic committee, of which John is chairman,—'"Davison, Downing,Meader, and Wing,—just roll that combination over out loud and it sounds likea god-damn successful law firm specializing in New Deal cases." I roomed with this fool of a Mullin for a year and one half, and if my judgment is good, I would say that he would handle that committee, tough as the name may sound

Then we hear from Bill Reynolds,—never missed a thing connected with Fifteen,— says this, in spite of the fact that he is in the textile business: "I suggest that yougive this some thought," .... anyhow, Bill came back with an acceptance, naturally Ray King says: "I will be gladto serve." Roy Porter, Hal Davison, Phil Alexander, .... all anxious. This class of ours is just coming into being And Fred Lowe, Charlie Comiskey, and all the others have their shirts off by now. Why not?

On the 13th of April, Fifteen had a most successful dinner at the Dartmouth Club in New York, Killeen, Laferty, Braun, Brown, Healy, Gish, Fredericks, Bissell, Williams, Livermore, Bradley, Dunn, Burbank, Sanborn, Brownell, Davis, and Rose being in attendance. Thanks to Ed Whit and Kell Rose, New York came to life. . . . . A very nice letter came from Mrs. Whit in appreciation of what we did at the time of Ed's death.

Russ Durgin is leaving Tokyo at about this time to attend a convention at Stockholm beginning on May so, traveling via Siberia. Thence he goes to Geneva and Rome, and from there to New York. The family have their regular furlough this summer and will be located at East Northfield, Mass. Russ is a busy boy.
