1928*
The Class is fortunate in having PaulKruming consent to serve a second year as Class Agent. He is itching to better last year's 100% performance and has already started '28 on the road to another record for 1941.
After the campaign closed last year, 29 non-contributors answered a letter from Paul asking why they hadn't contributed. The replies were—"Just neglected sending in a contribution."
Incidentally, Paul would like to hear from anyone who is willing to serve on the '28 Alumni Fund Committee this year.
Help '28 lead the way again for all the other classes by sending Paul your check now! Every member of the class will receive all the issues of the '2B Campaigner regardless of when they contribute and several of the interesting features that Paul instituted last year, such as the class surveys, will be continued. Paul has outlined to you a plan that looks like a winner—it can't miss if you all get behind it!

Four '28ers were among the lawyers who attended the first Dartmouth Lawyers Dinner January 23 at the New York Athletic Club: Bill Hobson, Wayne Van Orman,Hank Walker, and Myles Lane, chairman of the dinner committee.
The '27-'28-'29 Pow Wow at the Dartmouth Club in New York on January 29 was a great success, with go members of our Class there, 26 members of '29, and 6 members of Doane Arnold's decrepit class. "Mo" Heath '29 acted as toastmaster and, according to all reports at hand, equalled even that old spell-binder of the Hawk-shaw-Murgatroyd days, Bob MacPhail. The '28ers present were Lew Beers, TedBaehr, Cal Billings, Nick Carter, Bill Cogswell, John Cronin, By Dodge, Tom Ellis,George Emery, Irv Engelman, Ev Field,Charley Gearhart, Stu Goodwillie, ClarkHarrington, Jack Herpel, Court Keller,Chet Kellogg, Art Kneerim, Paul Kruming,Hank Livingston, Makie Makepeace, PhilOrsi, John Phillips, Curley Prosser, BobRockhill, Iz Rubin, Herm Schnepel, HankWalker, Bud Weser and Jack Zellers.
Of course '28 started years ago to outdo '27 and '29 and has kept it up ever since. We'll admit that our dinner chairman, CalBillings, did a lot of telephoning, but then he just wanted to be sure he would win his side bet on the attendance from "Mo" Heath.
