1907

The letter from Jack Stilphen which follows offers a suggestion which has been made with some variations by several classmates in past years. The class secretary thinks it has merit, and also that it means hard, though decidedly interesting, work. When you have read Jack's proposal, write a note to DickLane expressing your opinion.

"Friday when Bill Smart called to tell me of the passing of 'King' McCoy he told me also of our loss of Sam Barnes and Walter Clough and Billings. The idea came to me that I should have some kind of a book at home that brought each one of these old friends up to date to me, something that I could look through and see them as they are and remember them more vividly as they were in days gone by. I pictured a real nicely bound book with a half page or perhaps a full page for each of our class who are still here with us, a photo or intimate snapshot and a short word picture of his home and family and nothing more. No story of his success or work nor his war work or that of his children; as simple as possible and avoiding any chagrin or envy, a little facetious perhaps and his nickname, but above all to have it done well, costly, if necessary, but something to be desired."
