1927*
Only eight more months till June and that big Quin-decenial Clambake! There is no time like the present to start putting away a few dollars in the old sock to get yourself back to Hanover. Let's start talking it up now and let's write a few letters to some of those guys you'd like to have there with you.
We don't know what we'll do when everybody in the class is finally married. There is something about getting married that makes a guy proud enough to let somebody know about it and the news eventually gets around to us. Clippings from both the Ossining, New York, Citizen Register and the Manchester, New Hampshire, Leader and Evening Union, tell us of the marriage of Ray Holbrook to Miss Frances Graham Karr of Ossining, New York. They were married on August 20th and spent their honeymoon on Cape Cod. After graduation from Dartmouth, Ray received his B.S. from Columbia University and his M.A. from the University of Michigan. His bride graduated from Mt. Holyoke College with an A.B. degree and later received her B.S. and M.S. at Columbia University. She has been on the staff of the Law Library at Columbia. Ray is a member of the instructional staff of the City College of the College of the City of New York. They will reside in New York City.
From the New York Herald Tribune and the Elizabeth, New Jersey, Journal, we learn of the engagement of Miss Doris Wilgus to Mr. Lewis F. DeWolf Jr. Miss Wilgus is a graduate of the Berkeley School of East Orange, New Jersey. Lew is with the Chase National Bank of New York. The wedding is planned for next winter.

Mullin, assistant to manager of sales of Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corporation here since 1938, has been named as assistant to manager of sales for the same company at Detroit, officials of the company announced today. Mullin joined the Illinois Steel Company, also a subsidiary of United States Steel Corporation, in Chicago in 1937, the year he was graduated from Dartmouth College.

The following letter dated August 25th. has just been received from Bob Stevens, who, as you know, is out in Java with General Motors Export:
"At this late date I am beginning to receive the '1927 Speak-Easy' and other announcements regarding the 1941 Alumni Campaign together with the Ernest Martin Hopkins' 25th Anniversary Campaign.
"I am crest-fallen that my name will not appear on the list of contributors to the 1941 Campaign.
"The foreign exchange problem has probably not meant much to most people in America and has been just one of those hazy subjects left to the economist, but since the events of the last couple of years we have come to learn to our sorrow what it really means. In any event, here I am out here, wishing to contribute but am hamstrung by the question of exchange. When better times come around again, I'll do my best to make up for it.
"At the time of my departure from the U. S., the mention of Java brought no reaction from most of the people I spoke to about my next destination. They seemed to have some hazy idea of its association with coffee. When I said that it was close to the island of Bali, some interest was shown. Since that time I suppose that most Americans have learned from the papers, from the magazines and movies where the N.E.I, are located on our planet and where Java is. In any event, we are having a very interesting time out here and are wondering when the final showdown will take place. I cannot tell you much about our life and conditions out here because it would never get by the censor anyhow. I am still hoping that I shall be able to make "our fifteenth" in Hanover but, of course, am not sure. I am looking forward to the time when I shall be able to see all of you fellows again and to swap experiences encountered over these last two momentous years."
See you next month.
Secretary, 152 Waban Ave., Waban, Mass. Treasurer, 244 Dorset Rd., Waban, Mass.
