Book Description

Excerpt from Twenty-Five Year Record, Class of Ninety-Three, Yale College: Including an Account of the Anniversary Reunion in June, 1918 By Saturday night there were thirty present, eleven more than at the same time five years before. On Sunday morning many heard the baccalaureate sermon, and a'few went to the New Haven Country Club for golf and tennis. Frank Donnelly averred that his score would have been better had not a mosquito bitten him on the first tee. All lunched together at headquarters. Arrivals during the lunch were Mrs. Fay and John, Mrs. Hay and two daughters, and Fox with the two little Foxes, each somewhat over six feet tall.' Immediately after lunch someone got Gatchel a guitar, which he played with the old assurance and facility. Everybody gath ered around him and had an Old-fashioned sing for nearly three hours. All the old favorites were revived: The Days of '93, Mary Green, Denny Grady's Hack, Down by the Riverside, Predicaments, The Fishers Swore a Feud, Hold the Ball, Down the Field, and a host of others. Major Louis B. Runk, the only one of our men in uniform who could attend the reunion, arrived during the singing.
