1922

At the request of Jack Aborn, your treasurer is experiencing his first attempt in the reportorial art in the compilation of the following notes this month.

The lack of notes in last month's issue is explained in a recent letter from Jack about the severe illness of his 8½-year-old boy. The youngster has very serious eye trouble, and naturally Jack has had to give his undivided attention to his family. Because of the strain, Jack and his charming wife are leaving for a month's vacation on February I—the first holiday he has had in a couple of years. We all wish him well and hope for the speedy improvement and recovery of his boy.

AI.UMNI MAGAZINE subscriptions to date total 109, with dues payers 118. In order to equal the 50% guarantee given the ALUMNI MAGAZINE 14 more subscriptions are needed. The next time you see a "Twoter" ask him if he has sent his check for $4.00—$2.00 for dues and $2.00 for the MAGAZINE—and if not, stay with him until he writes that check!

The January 19 edition of the Denver Post is authority for the knowledge of Verner "Zeke" Shoup's marriage to Miss Adelaide Lake of Brown wood, Texas.

The happy couple will settle down in Wichita, Kansas, after a honeymoon in the East.

On a recent Western trip your correspondent had the pleasure of being received by Denver's famous "Twoter," Bill Nicholson, in his oak-paneled office. Bill is the same as ever, and it was a pleasure to see him. He complained of the scarcity of "Twoters" in the Great Open Spaces, and reported that his nearest neighbor is Dick Livermore at Colorado Springs.

Various reports from the Boston group indicate an increasing activity and interest in class and college affairs.

Reports from the Chicago area report a recent luncheon attended by Hotchkiss, Davidson, Ball, Wagner, Pierce, Jack Taylor, and Marshall.

ANDY MARSHALL.
