Class of 1924
Now that the stock market has recovered from its recent biliousness, the Florida land scare quieted down, and your scribe quite recovered from getting out the first "TwentyFour Hour Notice" since his launching into the Gulf Stream of matrimony, a line to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE seems most necessary. Without this line those who failed to see the February class paper might rightly surmise-that '24 had lost its power of speech.

Dave Perry sends in the news on the '24 dinner before the Dartmouth-Harvard hockey game and the game itself, which was witnessed by 40 members of the class plus girls, in a number of cases wives.

Ken Harvey, Putty Blodgett, Larry Marshall, Luit Luitwieler, Bill Doe, and Dave are plotting to get the gang in Boston out the twenty-fourth of every month for a '24 dinner. It is also said that Ken, Luit, and Putty plan to be on hand at Commencement this June to get a line on things for our Thunderous Third.

Harold Ranney can be found at 30 Washington Terrace, East Orange, N. J.
Joe Butler breaks the long winter's silence with a most welcome hail from Youngstown, Ohio. We discern from the letter-head he uses that he is open to congratulations, being in the brokerage firm of Butler, Beadling and Company. Joe says that wading knee-deep in molten iron at the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company proved a bit too much, so about December he started in riding hard on the bulls and bears.

Phil has hopes of tearing off this summer for a fishing trip with his old room-mate Mose Moses, who from recent reports is with a. Boston brokerage house and still lives at 22 Reading Hill Ave., Melrose Highlands.
Paul Synnott gives us an interesting line on the boys from his desk in the offices of "Time" in New York. Paul says he was badly bitten by the Florida bug, and last fall departed for Miami in search of fame and fortune. He goes on to tell that he found neither, and after a few months returned to New York and entered the offices of "Time." Two of the up-and-coming young realtors whom Paul saw in Florida were Bert Perry and George T raver. He says Bob Anderson was frankly bored with the bustle of life in Miami, and was undecided as to whether he would seek the peace and quiet of some tropical isle or become a pilot in the air mail service.
Dimitri Shvetzoff has finally been found in the offices of Spencer, Trask and Company at 25 Broad St., New York.
Bob Benjamin can be found with Benjamin W. Ayres, Jr., general agent for the State Mutual Life Assurance Company of Worcester, in the Third National Bank Building at Springfield.

Before Shep Patterson left Trinity Hall College, Cambridge, for his marriage in Springfield on the 24th of March to Miss Louise Notman, the American gang, including Keith Drake and Don Bartlett, gave him a bachelor dinner.
