1927

This column will be necessarily brief. Apparently we score about zero net as a salesman, since our fervent pleas in the first two issues of the magazine for more news to publish have resulted in exactly one letter during the past thirty days.

We did see a good crowd at the class luncheon before the Harvard game, although the turnout was disappointing. Those who did attend were unanimous in the opinion that it was a good party. Following were the '27 members: Kern Folkers and wife, Bob andMargaret Hazelton, Chuck and Olive Bunnell, the Hitchcocks, Bob Williamson and his son, Don and Kay Gardner and their two children, the Salingers, Fowlers, Bill Cusack, Sykes andHelen Hardy, and your scribe and his bride. The, Class of 1929 had about an equal number present including President and Mrs. Dickey. What with a very delightful luncheon and the pleasant bus ride out to the stadium and back and above all the results of the game, it was a good party and we only wish there had been more there.

A much appreciated note from Gus Buschmann, who is still teaching German at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, announces the arrival of John Christian Buschmann, their third son and sixth child, born October 17. Gus blames little John for not having been at the 20th reunion last June. He also reports that he recently called on Reg and RachaelFrench at Amherst and had a brief visit with them and their three children. He further reports that Dick Clapp has returned to his home town of Gill, Mass.

We recently saw an article in The New YorkTimes regarding a proposed reorganization of the Thompson-Starrett Co., Inc. According to the article, Nick Zaro, former vice-president and director of Eversharp, Inc., was a member of the independent stockholders committee and was slated to become a director of Thompson Starrett.

Twenty-seven's who have been fortunate enough to visit at the Hanover Inn in the recent past include Mr. and Mrs. Donald McCall and son of Scarsdale, N. Y.; Mr. and Mrs.Don Proudman of Glenbrook, Conn.; and Mr.and Mrs. Gordon Hope of Hingham, Mass.

.Guy Bostwick, manager of the New York Telephone Company Office at Hempstead, N. Y., is now living in Northport. LaurenceJones is still living in Brockton, Mass., where he is superintendent of Jones and Vining, Inc. Don Megathlin works for the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company and is now living in Walpole.

We had the pleasure of seeing Dud Bonsall and his wife for a short time after the Harvard game. Dud is still practicing law in New York City and has recently purchased a country home upstate from New York City where they are planning to live this winter.

Brick Stone has moved from Mexico City to Havana, Cuba, where he is now working for General Motors.

It is with deep regret that we report the death of Dr. David Climenko, who died October 9, at Ft. Bayard, New Mexico. Further notice will appear in In Metnoriam in an early issue.

Sorry there isn't more, but we will try to fill in with a picture from the reunion last June and before the next issue will break down and write a few letters to see if they will bring any replies, even though we hate to do it.

Here's wishing you a very merry Christmas from our family to yours.
