For years I have been trying to get the members of the class of 1906 to send in news about themselves, their families or some classmate. The response has been practically nil. 1906 members seem to be either too busy or too modest to tell of their accomplishments so what can your secretary do to fill up the space in the MAGAZINE?
Cap Pierce has finally come across with a suggestion which should prove interesting if there is any response. His suggestion is that each of us write about some of the episodes of bygone days (also some of the escapades). The following are his contributions.
Who does not remember the way Paul Felt and Nate Redlon would entertain us in the Commons after supper at the piano? And the way Paul would sing "Because" from the steps of the Commons when we gave a send-off to the football team?
Or the way Henry Thrall would come tearing down the stretch at the finish line of the two-mile relay?
Or the way that Ralph Glare would give Brown hysterics on his famous trick shoelace play in cooperation with his brother Johnnie?
And who will ever forget the basketball game we played with Williams for the championship when Lonnie Russ kept running up and down the court, shouting at the top of his voice for Burt Rix to shoot him the ball for a lay-up?
And, of course, with Pitcher Glaze and Kid Gleason doing the pitching, and Dave Main, Bug Gardiner, Bill Page and others helping out, the baseball team had a pretty good record.
Will be waiting to hear from the rest of you in the near future.
On September i George Terrien died in Nashua, N. H., while visiting his brother, Albert, of the class of 1904. The class sends its sincere sympathy to his wife, Lillian.
