1932*
Fifteen members of the class attended the Second Annual 1932 Picnic at the Fin 'n' Feather Club, Dundee, Ill., on Sunday, Oct. 6. Archery was on the card this year, as well as trap-shooting and beer-drinking, which formed an important part of last year's program. The report of an eye witness, who shall be nameless, reveals that Bill Morton, though renowned for his allaround athletic prowess, lost a quarter to John Wright, who bet he wouldn't hit the target in five shots. However Bill redeemed himself to a certain extent by beating John in the trap shooting. John hit only one clay bird in 25 shots. Joe Bennett became the new champion through his foresight in prevailing upon Dick Cleaves to work in the pigeon pit.
Don MacPhail came without Eleanor because of her recent deliverance of a fine eight pound lad. Cleaves introduced his fiancee, Marg Shurtleff, who spoiled an otherwise favorable impression by breaking up a crap game in one corner of the living room while Cleaves, in another corner, was acquiring stock in Morton's Chase National Bank, Wright's Burlington Railroad, MacPhail's Wrigley Co., not to mention a due bill on some professional services from Dr. Bennett. Total for the newly organized Cleaves-Shurtleff holding company—$29.50.
Ed and Jean Eichler dazzled the crowd with three big wild turkeys, home baked beans, cole slaw, and all kinds of homecanned pickles and jellies. Others attending were Sheldon, Brookby, Ackerberg,Hulbert, Ireys, Kirby, Dyche, Fitch and McGowan. The group plans a ski trip to LaCrosse via the Burlington shortly after the first of the year.

Mail will reach John Keller at 3349 Monroe Ave., Brighton Station, Rochester, N. Y. John is working in nearby Pittsford as timekeeper for a Brooklyn construction company named E. W. Foley, Inc., which is building a bridge across the Barge Canal. Engineers will be interested in John's enthusiastic description of an earlier job—a bridge recently completed, at Rockville (near Cuba). "It is a functional design, gleams in the sun like a World's Fair production, and has just the essentials—steel piles, concrete, steel beams and hand railing a very modern piece of design and construction to be hidden away in the back country of upstate New York." It was apparently good enough to have inspired the words of a song composed to the tune of "Beautiful, Beautiful Texas," of which John was one of three collaborators. The song goes: Oh, beautiful, beautiful Rockville The first floating bridge in the State; We finished a month before schedule Although all the pipe piles were late. You can stand on the Erie or Pennsy, The spot that turned Foley's hair grey And see bright aluminum flashing On the bridge that was built on wet clay. We learn from Carl Baker that one of his English students at Princeton, a certain Allerdice, is specializing in Browning. In "Pippa Passes," no doubt!
