1930*
As this is written we do not know what the sports editor of the MAGAZINE will sayabout the hockey team and its victorious season, but it is appropriate for all Thirtymen to pay tribute to Eddie Jeremiah upon the completion of the most successful campaign in Big Green history. By winning nineteen straight games and twentytwo out of twenty-four, Jerry's team has a just claim to the national intercollegiate hockey crown. The two defeats were avenged when Colorado College and the University of Illinois were beaten in return engagements, and Boston College, the winner of the National A.A.U. championship, had its nineteen-straight-victory string broken by Dartmouth, 7-2. During the season the Big Green scored 175 goals, sixty-four of them in the Pentagonal League which it swept, 8 to o. Further details will undoubtedly be found in other columns, but we are mighty proud of Jerry and the formidable record of his 1942 team.
The Arlington Antelope returned to his home town one night last winter to speak at a testimonial banquet for the veteran football and baseball coach of Arlington High. Al was one of a gathering of approximately five hundred former players and friends who turned out in honor of the coach. Al still spends week-ends at home and week-days in New York, but it is a rare occasion and a special event when he emerges from his cloistered hiding.
Assistant general freight manager Chub Mclnnes of the Erie Railroad has been transferred from Youngstown to New York, and will be stationed in the offices at Pier 8, Jersey City. We saw Chub a few days after he arrived and learned that as soon as he gets his family moved he expects to live in Ridgewood, or some convenient point on the Erie's main line.
Just when New York's Thirty delegation was beginning to get apprehensive about the future of its spasmodic class dinners, with Al McGrath on the verge of entering Uncle Sam's armed forces, venerable Pete Callaway returned to Gotham April first. "Sort of an April fool joke on old Father Knickerbocker," quoth Pete. The reason for this change is that Pete now has the title of assistant to the advertising manager of Time. Before leaving Chicago, he attended the Thirty dinner at Eitel's restaurant in the Field building, where the following were present: Cotton Holmes, Bert Crandell, Fred Schmidt, Bud Ackley, Dud Faust, Bob McClory, Dick Bacon, Mickey Emrich, Ed VarlSy, Ed Benoist, Fred Uhlemann, Pete and Lieut, (j.g.) Hank Embree. Dale Wallace called up from Hoopeston and gave his regrets that he couldn't be there.
There should be" a D-V (s) after Hank's name too, meaning Deck Volunteer Special. He was sworn into the Navy on March 9 and reported for duty two days later, although he had been working at the Great Lakes Station since December 18. Hank says he will have to resign as class treasurer at the end of June when the books will be closed for the year, and that he will have everything in order at that time. Meanwhile, Hank's secretary at his former office is carrying on, but according to Hank we will not balance our budget unless more dues are paid by then. Here is your chance to help out our patriotic treasurer and his willing and faithful Secretary, not to mention the class funds, by paying up your dues promptly. Put yourself in Hank's place and you will realize how appreciative you'd be if all delinquents sent their checks in and the worries were over. While the class will regret the loss of Hank's loyal and efficient services as treasurer for the duration of the war, we can admire and respect him for the more important services he is performing now.
Jack Keating has resigned his office as assistant prosecuting attorney of the Stamford city court to join the U. S. Navy, and is now undergoing a course of instruction for his commission. Jack had held his office in the city court for two terms.

Bob Bottome expects the hotel in Caracas to be finished around the first of June, just about in time to turn it into a barracks or something. He had quite an experience last February which he described as follows:
"Played hookey a few weeks ago to spend a week with a friend of mine on his boat, fishing and exploring among the many islands off the almost uninhabited coast of Venezuela. Right in the middle of the trip we heard over the radio of the attack on Aruba. There we were, right out in the ocean in a small boat, very probably right smack in the middle of a nest of submarines. (Aruba was to the west of us; we heard later of attacks around Trinidad, to the east of where we were.) We expected that at any moment a submarine might pop up under us and that the Nazis might decide to raid our ice-box and help themselves to the barrel or two of diesel oil we had aboard. We kept our eyes open, but saw nothing."
We regret to announce the death of William Nelson Galbraith on March 11, 1942. An obituary notice appears in the Necrology section.
