1919*

Here it is 1939, and if you add twenty to nineteen you'll get thirty-nine every time. All of which means that next June is our Twentieth, and unlike last December, when we were leisurely kidding about it, the thing is practically upon us now. Louis Munro and Elmer Pilsbury, your Reunion chairmen, are beginning to get at things feverishly, and high time too.

The Reunion Committee is really something to report. It follows: L. W. Munro, and Elmer Pilsbury, chairmen; H. W. Cole, E. E. Martin, P. T. Kohl, Tom Bresnahan, Fat Jackson, W. C. Batchelder, R. J. Paisley, C. Buttenwieser, L. F. Garrison, H. C. Parsons, S. M. Treat, Paul Clements, R. F. French, C. O. Gale, Dan Featherston, D. T. Sullivan, E. F. Stoughton, J. R. Keating, Mose Forrest, E. R. Legg, L. H. Haerle, Bill Eads, Si Stein, E. J. Gluek, E. S. Townsend, C. G. Raible, R. H. Potter, R. A. Hayes, H. P. Fleming, F. Ray Adams, W. H. McCarter, J. L. Murphy, Stew Russell, Johnny Murphy, L. E. Eastman, Spen Dodd, Phil Bird, Norm Jeavons, R. R. Larmon, Chuck Eaton, J. H. Chipman, Max Norton, John McCrillis, and Bill Cunningham.

If that crowd can't make a reunion, one will never be made. In addition there are some twelve committees who are especially entrusted with important duties. Their personnel and duties will be discussed next month. For now it is sufficient to say that they are all working and getting things done. Bonnie Oaks is reserved for the picnic, Stell Hall for the class dinner, miles of movie film are being made to record this epic event, the D. O. C. House has been engaged for an entirely new kind of a party Friday night, and again for a ladies' luncheon on Saturday noon while we are all at the Alumni Luncheon in the Gym. The costume committee is struggling with the problem of something comfortable, colorful, distinguishing, useful, and becoming to forty years—and they'll get it. No trick is being missed to make this the best reunion we've ever had, and we've had some corkers.

This month you will start getting definite dope, and the word exhorting from the Publicity and Attendance Committees. We want to urge you to give them the good word promptly. You're going to go in the end, and as one who has suffered through many of these, we can assure you that you can help in no way more than by replying promptly to their various messages. Further you can help by getting your friends lined up early. If everyone does just a little bit, the whole thing will be easy.

We are all looking for ideas, too, and we'd like to have yours right away. It's fun just to get back to Hanover with all those guys you played around with twenty years ago, but a little thoughtful planning can make the reunion a whole lot better than that. You've got just as many ideas as the boys on these committees—let's have them.
