1919
For the New York crowd, the leading socialevent of the month was a class dinner stagedat the Dartmouth Club on September 17.Batch arranged the affair and it was a greatsuccess. Spider Martin was our guest of honorand his impending departure from New Yorkto Boston gave us a good excuse to have a swellparty. Certainly there is no one man in 1919who has done as much for the class and the College as has Spider, and he has the best wishes of the class for every success in his new work—we in New York will miss him. On hand for the affair were Bob Paisley, Harry Colwell, Ken Huntington, Win Batchelder, Sam Treat, Horace Hitchcock, Nick Sandoe, Bri Greeley, Clarence Buttenweiser, Dick Dudensing, Mose Robinson, Hal Parsons, Bill Smith, Spider and your secretary.
Gene Neely was a surprise and most welcome addition to the dinner, as most of us hadn't seen Gene since 1917. He looks fine, is a member of the skin heads' club, and reports all well down in Texas. He and Dick Dudensing talked to Bill Cunningham on the phone —subject not reported. Spider is going to Boston as assistant New England district manager of the Graybar Electric Corporation. Regrets on not being able to attend the dinner were received from Bill Stedman, Louis Munro, Tom Bresnahan (Tom stopped in early but couldn't stay), Chad Chadwell, Vaughn Little, Russ Potter, Bill Hooven, Teto Webster, Harwood Childs, Jack Emerson, Art Palmer, George Davis, Wentzle Ruml, Ed Warnke, Chet DeMond, Dr. Dennie Sullivan, Gin Mullen, Fred Balch, Lew Garrison, Budd Welsh, Charlie Harney, and Eddie Fiske, who was in London.

To repeat the blurb in the October issue, the reports on 1919 in the magazine will be what you make them, so let's have the news.
