CLASS OF1935 Q7 Dear Mr. Editor: Marblehead, Mass. There's not much to say about an old salt like me. Being a physical wreck on getting out of Dartmouth after five hard years, I was forced to restore my health. I came down to Marblehead, therefore, and took up sailing and boat building in earnest. With our Yankee XV we hope to keep the America's cup in this country. E. E. O'Donnell, a former class mate, will skipper this boat in his spare time. A school like good old Country Day gave me much time to spend sailing, thus in- spiring me to the heights which I have recently attained in boat building. With regards, JACK HALEY. My Good Sir: Harvard University. It is not customary for a professor of my rank to give forth to the press any statement pertain- ing to my, shall we call it, success. I take great pleasure in helping the young chaps who come to this majestic university from Country Day, and who do not yet know of the pitfalls college has in store for them. I now see clearly the reason why members of the Class of 1935 of Country Day are so successful. The majority had many outside activities which made their lives round and full, having acquired that Augustan delicacy of taste in spite of the faculty's doubts. A reunion of our class would be fitting after your article, Mr. Editor. Respectfully, N. R. .-X. BI.-XDDEN, PH.D. Dear Editor: Chelsea, Mass. I am glad I went to Country Day and had the opportunity to play on its line teams. There I gained the necessary training to play for the Red Sox. Since our slump in 193-I, it has been a tough fight with the I-louse of David to keep out of the cellar. To the young ball players of America, I say use a Blueyville Swatter and hit like Miller does. Yours truly, REED MILLER.

Q6 COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL Dear Editor: Clearview, N. H. I was very glad to receive your letter attempting to discover the reason for our class's success in life. I married a New Hampshire farmer's daughter of pioneer stock during my third year at Dartmouth. I then entered my father's ice business and settled down to raising seven children. I still maintain that the sale of ice is increasing in spite of electric refrigeration. I firmly believe that I obtained all my personality and ability to cope with the problems of ice at C. D. S., and not at college. Sincerely yours, VVILLIAM EATON BENNETT. My Dear Sir: Bronx, N. Y. As you have already told of my success in your letter, I will omit the details of my present life. My advice to American youth is to have many outside activities while in school. I obtained my firm foundation of stage 'experience under Mr.iHoward Wiles, a man of most unusual knowledge,- in the C. D. S. Dramatic Club. My appreciation of feminine beauty I developed in the wilds ol XYaban, which is now most thickly settled. Still your friend, JOHN CRANSHAVV. Mr. Editor: Hiddenpark, Mass. I am much complimented at receiving your letter. Your news of Mr. Cranshaw Q I despise you j makes me feel most grievous. Being modest, I will only say that the majestic school on Nonantum Hill rounded me out, both physically and mentally, giving me strength to succeed in the contracting business. Incidentally, business is booming in spite of the Democrats and Nugh Hawn. Yours, MIM DADDARIO. Dear Editor: Out of the Vilay, Me. I profited much from numerous beneiicial contacts at the Country Day School. Hockey at school gave me a fine start for my professional hockey career. This year we hope to bring back the Stanley cup to Boston and the Bruins, where it belongs. I owe my extra strength in the pinches to Ducky YYucky cigarettes. Sincerely, BOB GORHAM.

Q8 COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL O Marlboro St., Boston. My Dear Editor: Not having attended school enough to matter, I ought not reply. However, I did receive much valuable training and knowledge of life at C. D. S. This season the Redskins should be XYorld Champions with a combination like Gaber Dean and myselfunder Casey's coaching. Since the collapse of the Eastern Steamship Company, I have taken up navigating the Swan boats, and, in my spare time, I skipper Jack Haley's wonder boat, the Yankee XV. With regards, E. E. O'DoNNELL, ESQ. Newton, Mass. Dear Sir: As I soon found I was not an intellectual, having to leave Dartmouth the freshman year, I took up the profession which comes naturally to me-auto racing. I wish to say that I received my training driving from home to the high school and then to Country Day in two minutes Hat. I ex- pect to win easily the Indianapolis SOO-mile Classic this year. Give me some good publicity. Thanks. Sincerely, DAREDEv11. PERRY.. St. Andrew, Scotland. Dear Mr. Editor: I received your letter here, and certainly hope you make a success of your article of our amazing Class of 1935 of the Country Day School. I am having stififcompetition, but feel confident that I can repeat my success of last year, retaining my British Open and United States Amateur crowns. Not boasting, I feel myself equal to Bobby Jones' record because of my excellent training in dis- cipline and self-control at school. Yours truly, ENDY SMITH. Yes, you guessed correctly. The editor is Phil Smith.
