1935*
As MAINE GOES ...
Mr. and Mrs. John Harvey Shuttleworth of 10 Melville St., Augusta, Maine, beg our indulgence to the extent of apprising you of the arrival on March 15th, 1942, of a future tax deduction in the form of Miss Gail Hope Shuttleworth, quoted at 6 and 7, on arrival. .
So WENT NEW YORK .. .
Said Shuttleworth small fry having been preceded three days earlier by Alexandria Hay Mitchell, born to Mr. and Mrs. Edward Charlton Mitchell, now in New York, having returned from the British Gold Coast and points down under.
REUNION AT THE COPLEY . . .
A few weeks back our mornings mail contained a gay and gaudy little postal emblazoned with a rainbow-hued picture of what we have always remembered as one of Boston's better spots in the Copley Plaza. Ah ha, said we to ourselves, the management has suddenly discovered that WildBill Nevin, the sage of South School Street, never paid for that last spot of porter we consumed there many long years ago, and this enticing little billet-doux is a reminder to settle with the powers-that-be for same. But no: we turn the card over and read, or at least we think this is what we read, "Here's a reunion for you, Gilly. The Merry Go Round misses you. (signed) RegBankart, Hurdo, and Dave Smith, believe it or not." So far we have had nothing to confirm any of the above, either in the form of verbal or written evidence that such a meeting actually did come off, or in the more plausible form of a report from the nearest riot squad off Beacon Hill. It's just possible that the card was written in a quieter more balmy spring, such a one as we dreamed through in 1935, rather than in these more turbulent days of 1942. Maybe one of these days the inseparable BudCahoon and Fred Depin'et team will wander out of the Statler and cross over to the Copley and run this thing to earth for us. We hope so, for if such a triumvirate is still snowed-in there, the makings of a party are implicit: Stowell can ski down from his Maine hideaway, Deckert can leave the provincialisms of St. Louis, Kreer can come east from Michigan Blvd., Steinle might show, even Cam Duncan might come up from Texas. This thing is like a snowball, and we'll leave it there, thankful only that it has served to return our thoughts back to the days when such pleasantries actually did happen.

ORCHIDS TO BROWN
The attached story of what ChuckBrown is doing along those lines is complete, except for one word more. The letter telling this scribe of his plans, written the day he left Pittsburgh, enclosed a check in two figures made payable to the Dartmouth College Alumni Fund. Loyalty to two causes, one a part of the other. Are you with us?
