1904

At Beck's alarm voices from all over the nation began Sept. 17 from Washington State Crack Corn Smith and Mo Lockwood; BullTurner from Missouri; Kirker from Maryland; Ned Bartlett, Niagara Falls; Perkins and Major Sharp, California; Fletcher, Tennessee; Jig and Peacham, Illinois; New Hampshire, Terrien and Austin; Bray ton, Idaho; Johnson and Lampee, Massachusetts; McKeen, Texas; Sanborn, Minnesota; Woodbridge, New York; and Withey, Wisconsin all with messages to the men at the Dartmouth-Harvard dinner which both in the letters and dinner attendance gave way to the election trends and occasionally more vigorous language.

Roscoe says Washington wheat growers do pretty good with wheat at $2.02 paid by U.S. and then Uncle Sam stakes the exporters another $2.02 to carry the wheat to Japan, India and other short trips. In Chicago Jig and Peacham kept both sides of the Presidential contest in the air, but with a home product as a candidate, Peacham was in second place, and the Grocery Magnate won. Referring to McCarthy's success, Jig said, "He tells the truth and that hurts."

Here is meat from John Fletcher: "I have felt very strongly since '35 that we were headed towards a national government which is based on the Socialist system, and which doesn't fit our American spirit. New Deal legislation has made the long arm of the Federal Government stretch farther and farther in controlling our lives. ... I hope there are enough Americans interested in the free enterprise system to change and defeat the present tendency toward absolute government. Greeting, best wishes to my classmates." From Terrien: "I have felt that I was asleep since 1932 when that superlatively cheap politician, Roosevelt, started us on the welfare road and when that did not work fast enough, got us into a war to create employment. I have had all three of my sons, two for four years in the last war, and Paul in that first year of the Truman-Acheson 'police action' in Korea he went in with 39 men and came out with 9 alive. I have given much of my time during the last three years to stimulate Republican principles and homes and politics. I want to see Jig and intend to come to Boston the 24th."

From Spike: "1 wish I were to be there with you. In politics, the wish is likely to be father to the thought and I think Minnesota will be found in the Eisenhower column. Best regards to our classmates."

From Mose, Madison, Wis.: "I wish I could be with you all at the Boston Reunion. Please give all the comrades my best wishes. I haven't seen Jig for several years. I trust that the Sky-hook arrangements which he seems to have acquired continue to hold true and that he will enjoy another million or two miles. ... All of our family is in fine shape. We now have 13-grandchildren. Our youngest son and his wife got into production last fall. Best wishes to all."

Opportunity, Washington, Oct. 15: "Have had wonderful weather for four months two days' freezing temperatures killed all the beautiful flowers. Do not like the way Harry Truman and his crowd handle affairs. I want to hear from Ike Charron. Mo"

"In the old days whenever I returned from the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Cuba or elsewhere I always had a feeling I was returning to the finest country on earth. How far we have sunk into the mire! Hurray for Jig and his atom bomb jacket full of bombs for the malefactors. Thank you for this privilege of greeting the class again. Hope delayed doesn't mean forever. Major."

Ame Foster's son Franklin was a member of 1934 and is now in Athletics and Recreation. His address, Department of Recreation, Jackson Park, Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Be sure you have this address when you go hunting or your grandchildren go skiing in the Dominion.

Men of our class gathered at The Algonquin Club, Boston, on Friday evening, Oct. 24. Observance of our annual "night before" the Harvard Game they were eleven plenty to make a team Robbie, Pete, Jig, Beck, Perce, Tinker, Bowles, Terry, Matt, Carl and Squid, all old hands in the enjoyment of an evening together. NO FOOTBALL - Politics without animosity and the usual delightful time and excellent dinner as always at the Algonquin Club provided a sober, perhaps more serious occasion than usual. The big political game was on.
