Class of 1913
Both Ted Davis and John Scarry have continued to have their stories appear in the Saturday Evening Post during the summer months. Ted has been at Harwich, Mass., and John at Juniper Point, Mass.
Ross Powers has been at Sunnyside, Greene Cos., N. Y., since his long siege of pneumonia last spring, after he had moved to Albany, N. Y. He. is improving rapidly, and expects to be back in his office in September, and will welcome any '13 men there. He says that if he is out of it he knows he can get it.
Sherm and Delia Ward let us know from Glacier National Park that they were on their way home, after touring the West with the Manleys. They were to visit Yellowstone, which would make the fifth national park they had visited—chiefly on horseback.
Emmett Pishon spent his two weeks vacation at Camp Devens on active service. If any remember the two hot weeks the first of August, they can sympathize with him.
The Secretary, this summer, took his annual trip through New Hampshire endeavoring to locate those of the class that live or summer in that state. After a week-end with Tubby and Marjory Merrill at North Rye, he found Clayton and Lena Fairbanks on here from Cleveland, Ohio, and spent an enjoyable weekend at Brant Rock. At North Sutton, N. H., he found Shumway jazzing at a dance, and a week later "Chuck" and Ruth Stone at the same hotel. While at his camp he went to Hanover for a day of golf and saw Harry French, but missed Bob and Belle Conant. As planned, he made a three-day hiking trip with Mose Linscott, starting at Linscott's camp at Wolfeboro and going in a Reo to Gorham, N. H., calling on Phil Randall at North Conway, on the way. After successfully scaling the twenty peaks of three ranges he "beat it" to Laconia for a short visit with "T. D." and Marion Jewett. On the return trip to Boston, Jack and Louise Nelson and family were found to be at their cottage at North Rye.
Met Russ Varney in Boston on September 8. He was on his way to the station to meet Mrs. Varney at the train for St. Paul, as he was returning to St. Paul Academy after spending the summer in Maine.
News from Buenos Aires. Matthew Edward Gately, 3d, arrived on July 28, 1924, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Matthew E. Gately, Jr. Just the announcement; then Matt followed with a letter, stating that he hopes to be in the United States in the fall of 192S for all the football games.
Paul Harmon of the Simmons and Hammond Ice Cream Company offered two large cups for the golf tournament at the first outing of the New England ice cream manufacturers on September 13 at Portland, Me. Cups were won by two Massachusetts men, but Paul was captain of the ice cream team which defeated at golf the supply men team. The Herald gives us this item of interest.
Word has been received from Tede Haskell that around January first he will be traveling eastward, twins, bag, and baggage, as he is to be transferred to the New York headquarters of the American Thread Company. Mrs. Haskell and the children are to be in the East in October.
In one of the recent Boston trips of Collin Wells, we dined with him and saw a good bill at Keith's. He did not say much about golf, but a day or two later Johnny Remsen forwarded a clipping from the rotogravure section of the New York Evening Post. This shows Collin, "of the National Bank of Commerce," one of "three of the bankers who competed for the Sabin Cup at Grassy Sprain Golf Club course at Bronxville on Thursday afternoon."
Nor Catterall has been commuting from Greenwich, Conn., all summer. That is why Squire Wilson could not find him when Squire was in New York on his return from Europe this summer. When Squire was here in Boston he said he couldn't find many of the old crowd in the big town.
Yick Nutt has been hitting a mean golf ball all over the Borough of Richmond, while Stoddard and Richardson have become radio fans.
Harv McClary has been reported as seeing New York with friend wife—said wife being new—but Harv; has not let us in on the good news.
It will be of considerable interest to the class, especially those who remember that they were in Hanover in June, 1923, to know that three of our Jazz Band have gone to Chicago to accept positions with the Benson Orchestra at the Opera Club. G. W. (Spike) Hamilton, the leader of our Jazz, will lead this Chicago organization this coming year. W. R. (Wally) Lord is the second, and he will be remembered also' as one of the saxophone players at the football games last fall when "Annabelle" was "rendered." G. D. (Gordy) Richards is the third member.
Eric Foster reports from California that the trout fishing up in the Sierras this summer was of the finest. He and Grace packed back in the high mountains of the Sierras with burros, and had a wonderful summer. He is now back at the University of California in Berkeley.
Mrs. Robert O. Conant died in Hanover July 14, a week after an operation for a tumor.
William Tapley was re-elected department commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the state of New York at the annual encampment held at Binghamton June 19-21.
Secretary, 18 Oliver St., Boston
