The football season is now past the halfway mark. We have just returned from New Haven where we took in the Yale game. Yale looks like a powerhouse and certainly made things tough for our boys. Previously we had taken in the University of New Hampshire, Holy Cross, and Harvard games. They were all good games to watch, but the Yale affair was something of a Donnybrook. That will all be history by the time this reaches you.
We drove up to Hanover for the Holy Cross game and I have never seen such marvelous fall foliage as prevailed over that weekend. The trip through the Berkshires and up through the Green Mountains, crossing over from Manchester to Springfield, Vt., was indescribably beautiful. At Big Bromley there is a terrific view that stretches for miles and miles and since it was a bright day the scene could not have been more perfect. You folks ought to promise yourselves to take that trip along about October 10. No matter where you live it will be worth any inconvenience.
At the various games this fall we saw at one time or another Paul Sample, Jim and Ruth Chilcott, Mel and Helen Merritt, PaulRichter, Al Foley, Al Frey, Dick Goddard,Pat and Rita Holbrook, Jerry Stone, Jackand Margaret Mayer, Bud Weymouth, Charlie and Elsa Crathern, and quite a number of others.
The Carroll Swezeys and the Roger Popes spent a good part of the summer in Europe and, believe it or not, encountered BaronEddie Bowen at the Copenhagen Airport. It seems that Eddie had left Virginia and their daughter in Copenhagen while he headed for three or four days of the Parisian night spots. This reflects tremendous confidence on the part of Virginia and we hope it was well placed. Carroll claims that he and Roger had no luck trying to sell the same deal to their wives. Well, Eddie always was an old smoothie and a great hand with the malarkey, as you can well imagine.
Tommy Thomson writes that his daughter Mary and her family live in Princeton, N. J., now that her husband has retired from the Navy. It seems that he is going into the ministry after three years in the Seminary at Princeton.
A brief note from Stan Newcomer the other day indicates that he seems to be coming along all right but he is still resting at home and has not yet gone back to the office. Keep up the good work, Stan.
The Lost and Found Department is functioning in good style and Laddie Myers is due to get back the raincoat which he left lying around at the reunion last June.
The guest speaker at Trinity Methodist Church, Merchantville, N. J., in mid-September was Major Clayton M. Wallace, Executive Director of the National Temperance League and editor of the American Issue and Alcohol Education Digest. Apart from being a Twenty, Clayt is a fellow of the Yale School of Alcohol Studies.
I am heading for Chicago next week and hoping that time will permit a luncheon get-together with such Twenties as I can round up out there.
Everyone thought it was to be a Hallowe'en party - because Hallowe'en invitations were used - but it turned out to be a romantic occasion when Miss Nairn Pettyjohn entertained. On the receiving end of good wishes were Barbara Terry Hamm, daughter of Fred and Dorothy Hamm of Vero Beach, Fla., and John Bruce Parichy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Emery A. Parichy of Forest Park, Ill. The news item from a Chicago paper indicated that the couple's engagement is being announced by Fred and Dorothy. It goes on to state that Terry and her young man will go to Vero Beach at Christmas and that the wedding will take place next year. Love and kisses, Terry, and congratulate the lucky guy for us.
If you have not as yet sent in your class dues to Al Frey, get out your checkbook now and send him five bucks. With all of his other activities it is a pretty tough job for Al to handle the treasurer's assignment for us. You can make it that much easier for him by sending your check promptly.
The mailbag has been so very light these last two months that I am thinking seriously of working up a questionnaire and sending it around to members of the Class in an endeavor to get some news for this column. In the meantime, if you have seen any of your classmates lately, or if you have any interesting news about them or their families, or about your family, please let me know about it. Without this help from you I won't be able to write the column!
As you read this, Christmas will be just around the corner. Dorothy joins me in best Christmas wishes to all of you and your families and the hope that the New Year will be the very best.
