1922*
GREETINGS TWOTERS: We all will be looking forward to seeing Larry Henderson who is coming to reunion from Phoenix, Arizona. All ist squad, Company I men please note!
Rex Malmquist has sent on some rather disappointing news to wit:—only 144 men have paid their dues and subscribed to the MAGAZINE. 259 of the class received the MAGAZINE this year and though 144 is the largest number of dues payers on our record, it is 'way short of a reasonable proportion. There were 115 men, some of those for the second year, that have not paid for the MAGAZINE though they have been receiving it. I hate to bring up this point just a few days before we are all gathering for our aoth reunion, but the point is an important one as regards the College and the Class and there may be a brief discussion of this problem during our Class meeting, so please give it some thought. I will welcome your ideas.
Word from Mai Clarke is that he will direct the St. Johnsbury Academy Summer School this year. [See Alumni Registerpage, this issue. Ed.]
I have received an excellent letter from Gaylord Anderson who is the head of the Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health at the University of Minnesota. It is a fascinating outline of a Twoter's daily activities and represents such meaning for others that most of it is quoted herewith.
"Am still at the same stand as Professor and Head of the Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health at the University of Minnesota. The enclosed bulletin will give you a bit of an idea as to what it is all about. To put it briefly, am heading up a six-ring show that includes (1) teaching preventive medicine and public health to medical students, (2) a training course for health officers (all graduate physicians), (3) a training course for public health engineers, (4) a training course for public health nurses (one of the largest in the country), (5) instruction in hygiene to the university undergraduates and (6) instruction in biostatistics throughout the University. It is a mad whirl of administrative and teaching responsibilities but I'm having a grand time out of it. With the present demand for personnel trained in public health to replace those called into active service, our teaching load has gone up rather than down. Had students from about 25 states last year and about the same distribution this year. Aside from these university duties have got myself a bit tied up with other things, such as Chairman of the Health and Medical Care division of the Minneapolis Council of Social Agencies, member of the Public Health sub-com- mittee of the Procurement and Assignment Service of the Federal Office of Defense, Health and Welfare Services, and as a consultant on epidemic diseases to the Secretary of War. Just how much these two latter duties will entail I don't yet know but it may be a lot if something blows up in the way of influenza. One of my worst headaches of the past few years has been a book that finally appeared this past September and which has been very well received so far. All of the above and much more of a minor nature means that I am keeping thin, out of mischief and growing a few grey hairs to keep up the paternal tradition. Gail is now seven and doing a first rate job of bringing up both father and mother. We had all expected to be in Hanover for the reunion but with the war situation that seems very unlikely at present. Even if I had tires on which to come, I shall probably not be able to get away from here at that time."
Here it is—are you all set? For what?—REUNION, of course, May •5 "6 17.
It doesn't seem possible that the time has gone so fast since we began to think about it last year and now it is practically tomorrow. As a matter of fact it is next week.
SEND IN YOUR RETURN CARD NOW!
Your committee (at least the Boston part of it), were a bunch of sissies. When things began to happen so fast we got cold feet and figured the reunion wouldn't be all we had hoped for. The class sure put us to shame. Replies came back from the first questionnaire faster and a much larger number showed their intention to come than we thought-possible. The second surprised us even more. It looks as though we will set a record. Between 70 and 100 are almost ready to start for Hanover. ARE YOU ONE OF THEM?
Here is the program: May 15, Friday Afternoon—Checking in, meeting all the gang with sneak-peaks at the Green Book, guessing who he is, and then openly reading the name on the badge. Len Morrissey and his reception committee will be on the job.
Friday Evening— Buffet supper in the tent for all Twoters, their wives, and children if there are any.
Friday Evening, later—Reception by Prexy and Mrs. Hopkins, followed by dance in Thayer Hall.
Friday Evening, still later— Bull sessions, etc., etc. if you are interested, and then to bed.
May 16, Saturday Morning—Lazing around and getting over Friday night—golf—softball on the campus, etc.
Saturday Noon—Alumni Luncheon with short speeches.
Saturday Ajternoon—Baseball game, with fraternity meetings later.
Saturday Evening— Class Dinner. Olie Olsen is in charge and is keeping it a dark secret, except to guarantee the best slate of speakers heard in Hanover this year. He won't even divulge who the toastmaster will be.
Saturday Evening, later— More of late Friday evening, if you can take it.
May 17, Sunday Noon—Picnic—need we say more? Those at Camp Pinnacle will remember that picnic as a high spot of the 15 th. We were not sure of the spot when this went to press but our talent scout, Bob Hight, has been scouring the environs of Hanover for the past month for a likely spot, as close to town as possible. "Mercury" and the beer will be on hand.
HOW DOES IT SOUND? EXCELLENT, we hope. Oh, no, we haven't forgotten the wives. Elsbeth Olsen has done yeoman duty and has arranged luncheon on Saturday, and dinner for that evening. The Sunday picnic is for the family.
Carroll Dwight promises costumes, neat but not gaudy, as befits the austere men out of college for twenty years. Don't forget to send your hat size.
With all this program before your eyes, you fellows who are undecided—or who have even said "No"—if at all possible, better change your mind. Send a telegram to Andy or the Chairman—we'll be expecting you.
Come at the last minute—we'll make room for you some way and there'll be plenty to eat.
Oh,—most forgot the tax. Rex Malmquist and Haskell Cohn have been in a huddle. Men—sls.oo, with ALL meals included except breakfasts. Wives—s7.00, again all meals included except breakfasts.
