1915
Just to keep the dates before you, remember that the postponed Thirtieth Reunion will be held in Hanover July is, 13, and 14, and we will be tied in with the classes of '13, '14 and '16, and four of the younger classes.
Apropos of my note in the December MAGAZINE suggesting that those who know already that they can attend Reunion should drop us a line, I have received word from Eben Clough, Dan Waugh, Jack Mason and Russ Chase, the latter assuring me that he thinks he can convince Red Stevens to be with us also. This is the first list, so let's make it grow.
Chuck Ingram is to be in the East just before the Reunion, and is going to try to stay over to attend.
In response to a criticism which came to me in regard to these postponements of the Reunion, that too many classes are meeting at the same weekend, let me say that as a matter of fact there are less than ever. The entire plan was worked out to avoid that very thing, and where as in normal years, probably twenty classes would be present in varying numbers, this year in any one weekend there will be a limit of eight classes.
Bill, Chan and I met with our new class agent, Jack Mason, in Boston last month and plans are rolling for the Alumni Fund collection. You can help Jack out a lot if you will send in the donation before his notices go out, as we will then be that much ahead.
A nice note from Dan Waugh told me that he plans to be at the Reunion, and also mentioned that he has a nephew who entered College in November, and even though it isn't his son, it brings another of the same name to Dartmouth, as the boy's name is John Waugh.
A number of the boys have sent packages'to Jiggs Donahue in accordance with his needs, as outlined in previous Class Notes, and I know that many tnore are planning to give him a lift, for conditions in France do not improve, but are apparently rather more the reverse.
Sid Crawford writes that Dutch Scharmann and his wife dropped in to see him" in Worcester not long ago. Sid, who, although he has not officially notified me that he will be at the Reunion, undoubtedly will be, took the occasion to sell the idea to Dutch.
Bill Huntress's boy, Billy, is taking in the Ski School at Hanover this winter just as he did last year.
I am indebted to Mott Brown, secretary of '17 for a note advising me that Paul Rothery has become a grandfather through the birth of a son to his daughter, Janice Marks. Paul's other daughter, Connie, became engaged to Lt. William H. Copeland of St. Louis, on November 15, and a son who has been three years overseas was to be home shortly before Christmas, so that the Rotherys should have had a very Merry Christmas.
A note from the Hanover Inn tells me that Dale Barker, his wife and son, were at the Inn for several days the latter part of November.
Our illustrious classmate, Beardsley Ruml. who has more plans than Heinz has pickles, is publicized in a recent issue of Time magazine presenting a new plan for Macy's in New York, of which he has recently become Chairman of the Board. With tax plans, financial plans, "Q-System" and what not, a plan for Macy's was inevitable from our fertile-brained classmate.
Don't forget that this is the year for added contributions to the '15 Memorial Fund, subscriptions for which are only solicited in a Reunion year. Charlie Griffith is right on the job, and of course you will hear from him.
The recent big dinner to Basil O'Connor '12, in Boston, found three '15ers on decknamely, Bill Huntress, Duke Sullivan, Eben Clough.

Secretary, Bay State Building, Lawrence, Mass. Treasurer, 31 State Street, Boston, Mass.
