Class of 1914

George Briggs flagged the announcement of Tuck's wedding in one of the metropolitan journals, and forwards it for the benefit of the rest of us. Mrs. Ambrose A. Wetmore of New York and Capt. Alexander John Marshall Tuck of New York were married at the American Church, Paris, December 28. The couple proceeded to St. Moritz for the honeymoon. On their return they will reside in London. The account goes on to say that the bridegroom served five years in the British army and was decorated with the Military Cross.

With a story in the current Saturday Evening Post by Jack Scarry, the thoughts of 14ers will turn to our own writers. Recently the literary editor of the Boston Herald addressed a Wellesley audience on the subject of the new books. He made the statement that the "Second Generation" by Anthony M. Rud was easily one of the dozen best books of the season. For the first work of an author he commended it highly, and said that it was by far the best first work he had seen. He predicted a brilliant future for Tony.

At the same time he commented on the book recently published by Dan Chase under the title "The Middle Passage." This he classes among the upper twenty-five of the season. It would appear therefore that the class has at least two novelists bound to make their literary mark in coming years. There must be other authors. Who knows about them ?

The call for funds sent out by Perry Parsons just before Christmas has brought a five spot from 64 men; There must be other wealthy members of the class who will be heard from shortly. Remember that the 10th reunion next June will require much preliminary work and finances are necessary.

Gordon Sleeper, now of New York city, president of the Sleeper Radio Corporation, is broadcasting to all interested the arrival of a son, Gordon Crothers, Jr., born November 10, 1923.

William R. Holway of Tulsa, Okla., designed the plans for Tulsa's new $6,800,000 water system, and is one of the engineers in active charge of the construction work.
