Secretary} 12 Haviland St., Worcester, Mass.
Just about enough news this month to fill a thimble. The bumper crop of items from the captains now repose in a forthcoming 24 Hour Notice which will precede the appearance of these notes.
Jim White has been hot on the job of the Alumni Fund. Mony Monahan came over from Philly especially to attend the general Alumni Fund meeting in New York with Jim. Dave Perry, Luit, and Jeff Adams went to the Boston meeting to learn Fund plans. George Traver functioned in Chicago. The first bulletin to 50 sub-agents is already out. Jim arrived in Boston the first week in April, checked up with Jeff and crew, and dropped into Worcester Easter afternoon to talk things over with Pinky and yours truly.
Lawyer Haws of Ardmore, Haverford, and parts nearby has gone in for a new home in a little more romantic setting—215 Gypsy Lane, Wynnewood.
Stan Curtis, one of the strong right arms of the Meigs Store in Bridgeport, has moved out of the city to Fairfield, to join Ed Spargo, Stan Lonsdale, Prenny Gallup, et al.
Please note that you are hereby appointed the ringleaders of Reunion plans. Quite naturally Pinky wants to give you the "mosta for the leasta." The chief subject of contention right now is arrangements for wives. Please speak your piece voluntarily to your lieutenant or captain, or to Pinky Booth, Telegram and Gazette, Worcester, Mass. Ken Ward writes in to Jeff that he thinks a "familyless" Fifteenth puts too much accent on the indoor sports and tends to deprive Reunion of the kick it should have. Dave Perry feels a schedule should be worked out to include the wives in some way or other. Otherwise the wives are going to ask what kind of a gang are we? Jeff adds that Luit has changed his "no women" tune. Meanwhile Jeff himself heartily endorses some program for the wives.
Ken Davis, covering New Hampshire on matters past, present, and future, reports that he is plugging to get a whale of a New Hampshire delegation lined up.
We are indeed sorry to learn of the death of Mrs. Dana Haskins, wife of the Interstate Commerce Commission representative in Boston. Speaking for the class, our sincerest sympathies, Dana.
Red Winslow, who discovered with our help that Tom Fitzpatrick lived near him in Needham, discloses his neighbor works in Marlboro, and that he has two children. Incidentally Red had a fond hope that this scribe could tabulate the class from a post card poll similar to one taken by Yale '24, to determine the average income by business and profession. This column gently put him off by suggesting that he probably made more in insurance than we did in advertising anyway, so why bother.
