1925

And now has come the time when the class must begin to give thought to the Twenty-five year gift to the College. It is not a matter to be entered upon lightly. Correspondence between the class officers and the College has been initiated. While the date of the gift is about seven years away, the experience of other classes would seem to show that it is high time that we got going. Just the thought of a twenty-five year gift makes us realize that we will soon all be the fat, greying, bald alumni we used to see treading around the Inn back in 1923.

Don Lyman is now a lieutenant (s.g.) in the Navy. He is located at Washington in the Commodities Branch of the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts—Lumber Division. The Navy needed good lumbermen so badly that they waived training on Don and sent him out to buy a uniform. Don is living at the Naval Officer's Club at 1900 Florida Avenue, N.W. Going through Chicago he saw some of the crowd there and claims that they had him saluting everything from bell boys to the Chief of Police of that city.

Before leaving for the Navy, Don hunted hard and filled up his freezer with ducks, partridge, pheasants, a goose and a deer. Walker Vincent has been making some trips to Minneapolis and spent some time with McKoun and Lyman before Lyman left to work in Washington.

Rumof- has it that McKennan is in Alaska. Bob has always had a strong affection for that territory and with any sort of luck will get in some good hunting and fishing.

Red Martin is a first lieutenant in the Finance Division of the Army. He is at the Army Finance School at Duke University, Durham, No'th Cahlina, and is taking a three months' course.

Nort Canfield has just been commissioned a lieutenant colonel in the Army Medical Corps and has been assigned to the Walter Reed Hospital in Washington. Before Nort was called he was associate professor of otolaryngology at the Yale School of Medicine.

Eddie Edwards has been commissioned as captain in the Quartermaster Corps and is in training at Camp Lee, Virginia. He will be stationed in Chicago.

Stud Wright has just received his colonelcy in the Air Corps. He is now stationed in Washington, D. C.

Phil Coykendall's new address is 701 Choctaw St., Clinton, Oklahoma.

Brad Foss is reported to be doing a really magnificent job at the Sparrows Point plant of Bethlehem Steel and has had a formidable amount of responsibility piled on, which he is carrying off in good shape.

They ain't much happened here sence the last writing. General stores close at six and the stove league has adjourned for the winter. Drog store folds up at eight and the sidewalks cum in at nine. Passing the plate in church last Sundy I got $4.32 in cash, wun sugar coupon, wun "B" gas coupon and six thutty-thutty soft nose catridges—awl very valuable and wuth more than the cash part of the colleckshun.

Wun of the outfits we be getting out oak for has just got its third Navy "E" which dont make me feel tew bad. We was loading oak the other night and the thermometer was at three clapboards below zero with a twenty-mile wind. I went to give each man in the crew a hooker uv genuine Old Warwhoop (three hookers and you got a massacre on your hands) and we had to put the blow torch tew the flask tew make it run.
