BE SEEING YOU IN HANOVER NEXT JUNE

In accordance with its usual custom our class held its annual get together at the Algonquin Club Boston the night before the Harvard game. Twenty-eight members and guests were present which is the largest turnout the class has had for several years, and Charlie Main, on whose shoulders all the work in connection with the dinner falls, deserves a lot of credit for his efforts in our behalf. Nat as usual conducted the meeting in his scintillating manner although it was necessary to break up part of the china in order to get the fellows' attention.

The following were present: Bill Bell, Bob Blood, Gott Brooks, Art Chapin, Kid Clark, Tom Connell, Randall Cooke, Art Dennison, Halsey Edgerton, Ralph Glaze, Thurlow Gordon, Max Hartrnan, Arthur Holmes, Nat Leverone, Charlie Main, Dave Main, Walt Powers, Herb Rainie and son, Ned Redman, Norm Russell and son, Eph Smith, Bobbie Wallace and Harvey Whittemore. The guests were Gen. John Davis, Lawrence Holloway and Billy Van, Mayor of Newport.

The President called on most of the men present to report on their behavior for the past year but the principal speech of the evening was the talk by Mayor Van on "Selling New England." He also told us some interesting facts of the shady past of our President. Charlie Main read messages from a number of '06ers who were unable to be present.

After the football game Saturday Ethel and Walter Ponzis entertained at their home on Beacon Hill and there I had the pleasure of meeting Betty Keyes and learning that her father and mother, Dave and Antonia Main were grandparents.

Thurlow Gordon, who was present also reported that he and Polly had had a second granddaughter, born last July.

The New York papers recently carried the notice of the appointment by Mayor La Guardia of Thurlow Gordon as a member of the Local Defense Council.

Gott Brooks also reported that he was a member of the 'O6 Grandfathers' Club as his son Lawrence, Dartmouth '37 had a son born last June.

Bob Adriance also checked in as a member of the 'O6 Grandfathers' Club. His grandson, David Holmes Niles, was born on May 25th. His son-in-law Dr. E. Kenneth Niles is a member of the University of Maine Faculty.

While I am afraid Harold Rugg will never join this select Club nevertheless the Osmunda Ruggii has been named for him. In wandering about the hills of Connecticut he discovered a fern, the pecularities of which he was the first to notice and hence it was named for him.
