THE CRIMSON AND GRAY 19 ships at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Stephen Haynes, class of ' 28, has enroll- ed at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Receritly there have been several re- quests made concerning the department devoted to Alumni in the Crimson and Gray. One of our former graduates has particularly urged the extensive devo- tion to the old Alumni news not only that of the classes of 1929, or 1927, but those of 1920, 1919 and back down the years. As he expresses it, This is very important and should not be overlooked. We agree with him and with the other advocates of this plan that it is indeed important and that it, the plan itself is important. The arguments for it are many. In the first place it would keep the classes more securely together and the gradu- ates in touch with chums and teachers of high school days again. It will give us un- dergraduates an idea of just what our predecessors are doing and what they have done. School spirit urges us to be proud of those who have made good and we want to hear about them. But it is just a bit difficult to arrange this. Unlike the college our graduate classes unfortunately have no definite representatives, and the graduates are scattered here and there. Of course many are still living in Southbridge or vicinity but of many others there remains no trace. It is diflficult to locate those of even two years ago to say nothing of ten or fifteen years ago. But we do want to hear from them. Some perhaps would express their feel- ings about that in this way, Oh, well I am all through at high school. I don ' t know a soul in the classes or a teacher. What would they care about hearing about me or my old friend Bill? That is all wrong. Everyone here in Mary E. Wells would like to know the alumni. Per- haps the Alumni themselves will help us solve this problem of hearing about them by telling us in their own way what they are doing, what they have seen or what they used to do at school. I should think the latter would be extremely interesting and amusing and above all instructive for surely those who have had experience in the intricate matters of getting out of do- ing home-work or getting A ' s in United States History or Latin ought to be able to be of great help to us. Seriously speak- ing they might tell us of the good times the had here, of their classmates and teachers. So come on Alumni. Let us hear from you! And by the way — how about the students now here? Probably they can tell us of older brothers, sisters, uncles or friends. If so don ' t keep it a secret fel- low classmates. Tell us all about it. An- other duty for you, circulate the news that we want to hear from the Alumni. Explain it to them.
