Enthusiasm is running high in Boston for the Round-Up of the First Five Classes in the Century, and all records may be broken at that time. The date has been set for Saturday, March 15th, and the fun will start in the afternoon, with dinner at about six. This will give everybody a chance to get through the usual Saturday's business, and then have time to hike to Boston, and see the crowd. There will be nothing formal, but just a good get-to-gether with men of your own class, as well as men of other classes who were in college at the same time. Circulars will be sent out soon giving all particulars, but reserve the date now, March 15th, and plan to be there.

A most interesting letter is at hand from Bill Sykes. He says the last time he was in the States was in 1937 when he came back to Vermont to settle his mother's estate. We certainly hope he will be with us in June, although he says he does not think he can make it. If enough pressure is brought to bear, and we all write Bill and tell him the reunion will not be complete without him, he may change his mind. We know he has a lot more folk lore stories of Porto Rico to tell that will be most amusing, and we know the girls of the class will miss Bill's descriptions of the island and its customs. So don't forget, Bill, we will be seeing you on the porch of Massachusetts in June, and be sure and bring your box of Matches!

The annual dinner o£ the Boston Alumni Association was held at the Copley-Plaza, Tuesday night, February 6th. Ten men of the class gathered about the 1901 table and enjoyed the usual exchange of story and reminiscence. These included Squash Mclntye, Charlie Whelan, Johnnie Ward, Ned Calderwood, George French, Gardy Cobb, Bill Bryant, T Wood, Guy Denison and Bill. O'Leary with one of his boys. Hoppy as usual graced the head table, taking a short time away from his job in Washington, as he very seldom misses this Boston dinner.
