Class of 1933
You have received the swell letter sent from Hanover by the reunion committee, and it is to be hoped that you have been impelled to begin preparations for the trip to Hanover.
With regard to the letter .... there are two points upon which we do not fully agree with the committee .... (1) the use of the word "reunioning"; (a) the warning that Dewey will not be in the nude when giving his lessons. We feel that a glimpse of Dewey au naturel would arouse almost as much laughter as the promised pontifications of Prof. Foley.
In spite of the weird weather, our annual letter-writing renaissance has begun, and we turn forthwith to our correspondence.
From Harrisburg, Pa., comes the following announcement: "Lee Waggoner Eckels, Attorney-at-law, announces theopening of his law office, Room 25, StateChamber of Commerce Building, 222North Third St," ....
The Charlie Clarks announce the advent of another Charlie in the following novel fashion: You receive a card with this drawing: a stork, with undercarriage droops, panting and sweating, before the Elizabeth Steel Magee Heir-Port. An infant editor whose desk is located, conveniently enough, at the door of the hangar, sends to the press the following: "THE SCOOP,published haphazardly by Clark Coop.,100 Academy Ave., Mt. Lebanon, Pa.,First Addition, FIRST MODEL BEATSDEADLINE FOUR WEEKS PARTNERS ARE PLEASED BY INITIAL DELIVERY Gene and Charlie Clark proudly introduce Model No. 1to the stockholders of Charles T.

In addition to the above notice, Mr. and Mrs. Robert M. Saywell have announced the birth of a son, Stephen Sawyer, on March 7 at the Lying-in Hospital in Providence.
The proud father comments as follows; "I am still working for my father in themill I spent some time in NewYork recently with Paul Wetstein, whois turning out some very fine stuff for T.Dorsey. A far cry from the Green Serenades of Lebanon town hall and facultyparty fame!! . ... The program for theFifth certainly sounds great. I plan to bethere."
The above mentioned Wetstein, when approached on the question of rendering a few selections during the reunion festivities, promised to be on hand, unless a Dorsey contract to make a picture this summer required him to be in California.
And while we are on the subject of reunion music, it should be noted that the much publicised quartet is lacking only one man to fill out its personnel. Rollins,Bernache, and Farmer have contracted to appear.
Dougy Kaplinger has finally made up his mind that his address is now 24 Bangor St., Springfield, Mass.
H. Mackey, having recently been elected a member of the Stock Exchange, reports that the said Exchange is bubbling with inactivity. He also tells of a Washington visit with Dicky-Bird Lyon, who will be back in June.
A fragment of a letter from Hagan:"Since the cherry blossoms are out andspring is here, I went down and boughtmyself a suit the other day. I'm afraidit's going to turn out to be green whenit is delivered. Oh, well, I can always geta flash down on U Street (the heart ofthe black belt). People were beginning tothink that my old suit was a uniform thatI had to wear."
Gay Milius breaks into print again: "Iam still selling liquor, and am getting tobe known as an inveterate interior decorator. But the more interesting part of mytime is that which 'I spend on Tin PanAlley. I have been plugging the musicpublishers and expect success any minute.
"As for members of our class, they havebeen hibernating, because even at a classdinner we never see half of those wholive in the city. Perhaps they are shy orhenpecked. Or is it that they don't likehappy memories?
"I hear from Arny Salisbury once in awhile, and he is working in the MassSupreme Court. Dick Rocker of the N. Y.Tel. and I see each other at lunch occasionally.
"I'll be seeing you at Reunion."
Attorney Earle C. Gordon of the firm of Carr and Gordon writes that his winter has been pretty well taken up with officiating at ski meets. He adds that some of our illustrious classmates have been showing their lack of finesse on the alleys in the Graduate Club Bowling League during the winter. Gordon,Branch, Theriualt (the leader of Theriault's terrible Turks), Hoffman, and Sayre were those who ranked well down in the cellar in league standing.
He tells also of having seen Dr. VinYoung, who is now an interne at the Lawrence (Mass.) Hospital.
Don Doherty is back in Boston as an assistant to the president and vice president of the Atwell Cos. He has this to say of the recent Boston class get-together: "Last Saturday night about twentyof us gathered at the University Club forwhat we termed the triple 'B' sessionbeer, biscuits, and bull. It was one of thefinest times we ever had, and if it is anycriterion of the June reunion, what asession it will be!
"From present indications there will bea very large delegation from the Bostonarea.
"Please note that anyone in or aroundBoston who desires transportation to orfrom Hanover or company to fill his carshould get in touch with me. I have alist of car owners, but would like to getthe names of any others who would bewilling to be Good Samaritans. They canget in touch with me at 205 Warren St.,Suite 77, Allston, Mass., or phone me during the day at Liberty 7270."
