1928
For the first time in the 15 years we've been on this job, we haven't had to worry about how to get enough news tor the next issue. The landslide of news is due to the interest in the coming Reunion and the 25th Reunion Book. We've sent out many questionnaires, but never have we had so many returned and more are coming in every day. And instead of the 160 family pictures we had as our goal for the Book, we have 225 and ten more promised. The only problem now is to edit the biographical material and get it to the printer on schedule so you will have the Book in May.
We want to extend to George Cole and his daughters the sympathy of the class in the death of his wife Dot in January. George operates his own food brokerage business at 178 Atlantic Ave., Boston.

W. of the class of '27 who resided in Middle Mass across the hall from me when it was '28 up!' me being a frosh. Small world, aint it? The offspring is called Steve and if all goes well should be in the class of '72 at Dartmouth. See you at Reunion."
