1926
Here it is fall again! And a lot of things have happened within the class and to its members since I last reported to you in May, but I'll try to cover as much of the activity as space will permit.
As you may already know, the class turned in a grand showing in the Fund drive, finishing second in our Green Derby with a total of $13,035.32 in contributions (our second highest total) from 411 contributors (a new record for numbers). To Al Louer and his assistants our sincere thanks for a grand job one of which we may all well be proud.
A second big meeting of the Class Memorial Fund Committee was held at the Dartmouth Club in New York on July 19. BobStopford presided and discussed plans for making our twenty-fifth-year gift to the College the outstanding one to date. In attendance were Paul Allen, Dick Mandel, BobCleary, Hal Marshall, Reg Hanson, Jack McIlwraith, Don Hopkins, Chuck Webster,Charlie Singleton, Carle Blunt and yours truly. With the help of each man in the class, and under Bob's leadership, the campaign should be most successful.

Jordan (Jud) McCarthy was pictured in the August 18 issue of the Journal of Commerce signing a contract with Seagram Distillers Corporation on behalf of McCarthyHicks, Inc. of Baltimore, of which Jud is president. This was one of the first individually negotiated contracts that any jobber has signed with a major distiller.

Herbert (Hub) Harwood's daughter Georgia was recently awarded the grand prize of $500 in the Fifth Annual National High School Photographic Awards contest sponsored by the Eastman Kodak Company. The picture, "Summer Surf," was taken by Georgia last summer while on her vacation and also won a $ 100 First Prize in Class Four of the contest, according to the news article forwarded to us by Ralph Thomas. Looks like Hub can plan to retire soon with such talent in the family.
