1915*
We have a 25th in June and it is going to develop into a sensible sort of reunion, such as the class of 1915 never has had. This MAGAZINE is good enough to allow us sufficient space to publish all the news about it. Somebody, I think that it was Earl
Clough, said that he had arranged for 1915 to have a party at the University Club the night before the Harvard-Dartmouth game. As I remember it this aforesaid club is in sight of the Back Bay station of the B. & A.
Harold Thompson Rich not only has gone crazy over a motor cruiser named the Prelude, but he has written an article published in the N. Y. Herald Tribune on boating. Once somebody stole a story on Harold. Hope not this one.
Bill Reynolds, the factotum of the Jamestown, N. Y., woolen mills has gone academic again, head of the school board, and everything. An editorial in the Jamestown Journal states there had been a need for a long time of business like leadership of the school board. Complete quotation of the editorial is not possible in these columns for lack of space, but suffice to say, Bill is thought a lot of in Jamestown.
By the way, the current address of Bill Huntress is 44 Harding Road, Melrose, Mass. Keep in mind that he is the manager of this affair next June. Knowing Bill as I do, I know that he will welcome any suggestions offered. The affair must be a success, and will be.
Art. Sterling has gone into partnership with Hugh Courtright. The venture is in the nature of abrasives used for optical glass. You can find them at 7270 South Chicago Ave., Chicago.
Our esteemed president, Kell. Rose writes of the World's Fair. It seems that there was a Dartmouth day there. Jim Killeen took an active part and at his right on the platform was one Charlie Comiskey. Mingling around in the audience were the Roy Lafferty's, the Gus. Brauns', Bill Williams, Ralph Brown, Dick Clark, and the above mentioned Kell.
FROM THE REUNION COMMITTEE
With the interim of the Summer season, there has been little news from the members of the class, but with everyone back home, we ought to be hearing from many of you, and particularly a few preliminary reports from those who are all set to attend the 25th Reunion next June.
In fact, the most important thing this year is to hear early from as many as possible who can and will be back in June. Your committee is working hard to arrange every detail, and early commitments for accommodations will go a long way toward simplifying the routine of getting a dormitory and arranging other events.
An informal gathering of 15ers took place in June, when about a dozen members of the class drifted into Hanover and reuned where and how they might—but all report it as most successful.
Glimpsed about the various reuning points were, of course, the natives—Fletch Low, Jack Bowler, Murray Austin, Roy Porter, Wes Sargent and Warren Montsie. Among others who were present from one to three days were Jack Mason, Don Bennink, Al English, Johnny Mulliii, Russ Chase, Don Page, Ray King, Sid Crawford and Dave Davison.
They looked over 1914's 25th, got some ideas, talked far, far into the night about plans for 1940, and wished that they could convey to every 15er just how good it felt to be roaming around Hanover again.
Concurrent with the regular class letter this year, will be a series of articles called "Lookin' Back" reviewing the events of our undergraduate years, and planned to recall incidents that all members of the class will want to live over again in June to make the biggest 25th of all time.
The publicity committee for the reunion would like a thumbnail sketch for later publication, but prior to the reunion, of every member of the class who is planning to be back. Ye who read this, will save ye editors sleepless nights, and the class a few extra dollars which can well be used for an Eleazear Cocktail in June, if you will send this sketch at once to Don Bennink, P. O. Box 697, Lawrence, Mass. Your name, and address, family status, and not over ten additional words of what you are doing today. This will all be summarized in an issue of the MAGAZINE before reunion as a sort of Fred Allen's "You didn't expect to meet—" column.
And, incidentally, your class officers and executive committee have committed themselves to the 100% coverage plan of subscription to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. All the news of the reunion, the history of the class, and important notices will all go through that medium. So when you get the bill, send Norvie Milmore the money promptly, for the MAGAZINE will be full of '15 news each month and it's our one means of telling you the story of the biggest and best reunion we've ever had. You won't want to miss it
BILL HUNTRESS.
15ERS! REMEMBER THIS PICTURE? TAKEN IN THE SECLUSION OF THE BEMA, AFTER WET-DOWN IN JUNE OF FRESHMAN YEAR We were safe from the depredations of ribald sophomores who previously had prevented an official picture. Of course we took a razzingfrom 1914—but at least L got a complete and authentic photo of the class for posterity. If you doubt the date, just observe closelythe choker collars and shoe-horn pants and identification will be complete.
