1921

Our DYNAMIC 25th REUNION occupies the center of the stage. By the time you read this blast, the June 28-30 weekend will be only a little more than a month away, you will have received scads of publicity about it, and of course you will have sent in your reservation long ago. In case any reader of this column, however, has not yet decided that he can't afford to miss this big event, there is still time in which to act. Just drop a line (postal or letter) to Tom Cleveland at 405 Centre St., Newton 58, Mass. Based on all the dope reaching this corner (down around the Nation's Capital) a grand affair has been planned. Your scribe can't see how any '21er can plan to be anywhere other than Hanover, N. H., when June 28 rolls around Cliff Hart journeyed to Hanover for a preview late in March and reports in the following vein: "The red tape of fraternity trust matters in connection with re-opening of the houses kept me pretty well occupied during my visit to Hanover, March 22-24. My son Jeff, along for the trip, is well 'sold' on entering with the '51 class. I tried to see Jack Hurd at his office but failed to find him on deck. Despite the mud of this season, the place certainly looks great. And it will look much better on June 28 when '21 descends upon it in full force."

Carleton (Mac) McMackin took up residence in Hanover the first of the year, which assures him of being on hand when festivities commence the last Friday in June. But let Mac tell his own story:

I suppose you may have wondered where I disappeared to, upon leaving Washington. Shortly after I last saw you, I was appointed to a job with the Veterans Administration in Manchester. I started out as a field examiner and then was promoted to training officer, a nice job. What was my surprise, however, to have the boss ask me how I would like to go and live in Hanover. I've been here since the first of January and have an office in the Federal Building, where I am supposed to preside over the destinies of the Gl's at Dartmouth and in the town of Hanover and surrounding area It is ideal living up here. My wife, as you know, is from the South, and even she is beginning to like it, although she thought the cold weather was hard to take. We have just bought an old house here and soon will be engaged in fixing it up. We had to buy a place in order to get somewhere to live. This one-room stuff had gone on about as long as we could take it. .... Both Roxy and I shall look forward to seeing you at Reunion. I don't think anybody knows I'm here—of the class, I mean, except the local '21ers. I see Joe Folger frequently, and George Frost quite often, too.

Harry Chamberlaine writes as of March 20:

I had lunch with Ell Fisher last week in Cleveland and while he is out of the Army now and back in Cleveland, he mentioned the fact that his old colonel was coming over this week to make a presentation to him of the Legion of Merit award, so apparently Ell did his usual excellent job in the Army.

Accompanying this column is the picture of Gene McCabe promised you in our April installment Frank Rood checks in with a new address, 520 a Devonshire Road, Detroit 24, Mich Raphael (Ray) Murray is to be found with Canadian Durex Abrasives, Ltd., 154 Pearl St., Toronto Jim Wicker now receives his mail at 1766 West Willow, Stockton, Calif Warren Homer, on the other hand, is to be found at 380 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, and does social work at the Veterans Service Center, 500 Park Ave., New York 22 Millard (Fig) Newcomb has his office at 1808 Penobscot Bldg., Detroit, and resides at 70 Amherst Road, Pleasant Ridge, Mich.

The sympathy of everyone in the class goes out to Ike Chester in the loss of his wife Helen, who died March 24 in Passavant Memorial Hospital, Chicago. All who attended Reunion five years ago will remember Helen Chester and feel a sense of the loss which 1921 as a family group has sustained.

This dynamic stuff in connection with our 25th reunion seems to be taking hold; the mailman brings a letter from Hal Braman signed, "Dynamically yours." .... Belatedly comes a clipping from the Colorado SpringsGazette for January 18 which starts ofE, "Merrill E. Shoup, president of the Golden Cycle Corporation, one of Colorado Springs' outstanding attorneys and business executives and a native of this city, has been elected to the Board of Trustees of Colorado College." A Wah Hoo Wah for Mick Shoup! .... The Hanover Inn had as guests during February and March, Mr. and Mrs. Don Sawyer, Mr. and Mrs. O. C. (Bump) Ward, Bob Mayo, and Marsh Whelden.

EUGENE F. McCABE '21, of New York, was recently appointed general sales manager of Tide Water Associated Oil Cos., Eastern Division.
