Secretary, Framingham Center, Mass.
The only Twentieth Reunion you'll ever have a chance to attend is progressing very well indeed. As we go to press, Easter Sunday, the second mailing piece has just gone into Mr. Farley's loving hands. By the time this reaches you, you will have long since returned the coupon with your check and your measurements and be all set to just go to Hanover, arriving June 16 as early as possible.
This mailing piece has stressed the necessity of getting your dimensions back to the Costume Committee before April 17. The costume people have insisted that they have our order by that date. However, we have since made a dicker with them that they will jam through a few more for us up to the first week in May. So, if you find now that you can come be sure to send in your measurements, and your deposit check, $5.00 per adult, and $2.00 per child at once. Obviously, there comes a day beyond which nothing can be done to produce more of these handsome accoutrements.
Report of Progress—This being only a few days later than the date of the last Bulletin from your Committee, the number reported therein is about the same we have today. The Attendance Committee have, however, reported that Louie Apteker, Pat Glasheen, Al Crosby, and Red Murphy should be added to the list. This makes about ninety at the present moment, most of whom are bringing their wives. Max Norton informs us that we have been assigned the three new dormitories, which are situated in back of the Fayerweathers, facing the Gym. They are known as Woodward, Ripley, and Smith. A fine location and one which should fit our plans admirably.
There is little room these days for personal tidbits, what with reunion dope. But Bill Higgins has been made a member of the firm of H. C. Wainwright & Co., John McCrillis a director of the New Hampshire Fire Insurance Co., Red Murphy has just returned from a long cruise about South America, and a recent visitor to Hanover picked up a post card announcement that John F. Reilly would speak at an informal meeting of Tri Kap on Sunday evening at 7:15. Big news of the month centers around the class dinner in New York City, at which Earl Blaik put in an appearance, and six stalwart sons of '19ers listened intently as he commented on the movies of the Cornell and Stanford games. The pictures of the Cornell game were in color—taken by the Eastman people—and are not to be missed should you ever have the opportunity of seeing them.
Those at the dinner: Ray Adams, Windsor Batchelder, Tom Bresnahan, Butten-wieser, Earl Blaik, Walt Cooper, Paul Clements, Red Colwell, L. H. Davidson, Chet DeMond, Dick Dudensing, Eddie Fiske, Lew Garrison, Ken Huntington, Fat Jackson, Vaughan Little, Bill McMahon, Jack Moriarty, Gin Mullen, Hal Parsons, Art O'Neill, Bob Paisley, George Rand, Nick Sandoe, Lou Stone, San Treat, and Howie Webster. Tom Bresnahan, a candid photo feller, took some pictures. The one of the six sons is especially good, and will be found reproduced somewhere around here. They are from left to right: Jack Jackson, Bill McMahon, class of 1942, Jim Huntington, Ted Colwell, Dick McMahon, Dana Bresnahan. Some of the other shots suffer slightly for lack of light, but one which portrays Gin Mullen imitating a Benda mask, Fiske poised to swallow another live goldfish, O'Neill, and Sandoe, we show here, and a very fine looking bunch of guys, what?
After what the various pressure groups have done to you, it seems futile for us to add anything urging you to get out of that armchair and come back to Hanover in June. We know that everyone who can possibly come is coming. We can say this. Don't keep it a secret. Let your Committee know—and right away. The name is Munro, L. W. Munro, 50 Congress St., Boston, Mass. We only recently learned that Spider has been quite sick. He had trouble with his sinuses and was out of his office for nearly three weeks. He's just now beginning to get back into things. That brings to mind the Fund and how much you can help Spider in his tough job of collecting 19's quotas by sending in your check early. Give the poor guy a hand—send your check today. See you in June.
YIPPY! HI HO SILVER! Class of 1919 in New York prepares for its20th, showing, in the usual order: Gordon(Gin) Mullen, Ed Fiske, Art O'Neil, andNick Sandoe.
