1929
This is the beginning of our 25th year as a Class. About this season of the first year of our golden Hanover era we were matriculating before President Hopkins, buying brokendown, second-hand furniture at outrageous prices from the overbearing Sophomores of '2B, and trying to get used to the Commons fare and our daily assignments. Then FrankFoster was leading the '29 freshman football team which Sid Hazelton picked from the wealth of material consisting of Stan Piatt,Bob Waterman, Wen Schuh, Tux Small, HerbWoliston, Dick Barrett, Mo Heath, Frank Williams, Ralph Sherberg, Bill Morgan, JimMorse, Johnny Howald, Allah Lovejoy, MikeFerrini, Hal Walker, Dave Martin, Bill Bunge,Charlie Dudley, Red Flynn, Cy Morse, StanFryberger, Johnny Neal, Larry Bankart, Freddie Briethut, Bob Leigh, Bott Abbott, AyresBoal, Bob Lyle, Bob Hemhauser, Bob Harris,Bob Walsh, Walt Howell, Hank Moore, GeorgeFowler, Bud Terrio, Dick Black, Harry Enders,Paul Babcock, Howie Gulick, Walt Green, GusHerbert, Jack McQuiston, Jack Meany and Mike Sherman. Baird Rogers and Bing Carter were rooming in 29 South Mass., Bill Magenau and Dud Orr in 3 Crosby, Johnny Howald and Bob McClure in 4 Top., next to them GeorgeSmith and Chris Born in 3 Top., and Jim Kelley and George Case in 46 Hitch. Back in those days the pea green freshman cap covered a full and luxurious head of hair, even on such as "Monk" Chinlund, Mike Ferrini, JoeO'Leary and Earl Fyler.
Since the days of our youth the Class has grown slowly but surely into an exceedingly happy, healthy and responsible being, and each year more and more of us are contribut- ing in many more ways to the attainment of that full stature which we know the Class must achieve. Noteworthy individual accom- plishments too many to mention have been recorded over this period of years, and it un- doubtedly can be asserted without contradic- tion that there have been almost as many worthy individual accomplishments, whether spectacular or routine, as there are members of the Class. At this point in our history our achievements as a Class need no advocate. Our Twentieth year as alumni has been es- pecially gratifying, with a highly successful Reunion and a magnificent Alumni Fund contribution setting examples that should in- spire us to continue to maintain this higher level of accomplishment in the service of the College. You have already had a report of the Reunion in the June issue of the MAGAZINE, and Larry Lougee's final issue of '29 Up, dated August 10, has published the news of '29's winning the Green Derby and the details of the Class participation in this splendid per- formance. On behalf of the Class SqueekRedding has already been commended and thanked for the part his leadership played in bringing this major Class undertaking to such a proud and successful conclusion, but this mention of the Class' record-breaking performance would be incomplete without further expression of our affectionate appreciation.
Archie Crowley writes from the Rectory of St. James Church, Grosse He, Mich., June 8:
"My copy of the class list arrived yesterday and I hasten to correct the address in it. I have just come here to become Rector of this parish after fourteen years in Lawrence, Mass. It was quite a decision to make, having lived in New England all my life, but we are very happy here. This is a suburb of Detroit but having been here only six weeks I haven't had a chance to meet any '2gers as yet. I was all set to make the 20th until we decided to move. The fact that I have to start for Maine June 26 to direct a boys' camp means that we can't do it this time. That is a blow because we enjoyed the 15th so much. However, we shall start a five-year plan and aim for the 25th."

"President F. H. Corrigan of the Florida Farm Bureau operates an 80 acre citrus grove in Manatee County. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1907, Mr. Corrigan was educated at Dartmouth and the University of Florida. He settled in the state in 1928, developing Crescent Farms, a large enterprise which he sold in 1942.

Back in May we had a very pleasant surprise visit from Bob Jones who was in town in his capacity as assistant director of agencies of the Northwest Mutual Life Insurance Company. Bob looks hale and hearty—carries his years well and appears happy in his job in spite of the fact that it runs him all over the country about a third of the time. It has, however, its compensations, he says, since it gives him the opportunity of seeing classmates across the country—such as Carl Spaeth and Fran McEntee in Los Angeles. Bob's family consists of his wife and seven year old daughter.
