CLASS OF 1924
Judging by the scarcity of letters that have been received lately from members of the class, it is very evident that vacations are being taken for all they are worth.
A little news has come to us from the Hub concerning the doings of the "greater Boston boys." Stan Lyon got his degree from the Harvard Law School, took his exams, and is now working in a large law office in Boston.
Roily Barker is after an M. A. at Harvard.
Ced Foster shoots a line from 36 Pearl St., Hartford, where he is in charge of the United Press Association's bureau. Ced wants to lay claim to the class baby, for his eldest daughter, Shirley Foster, was born February 18, 1923. A second daughter, Sarah Ann, was born December 31, 1926. Looks as though Ced's youngest is leading the field. Let us know if that's incorrect.
Bill Dußois is with the Commerce Trust Company at Kansas City, Mo.
Steve Stevenson is with the New York Telephone Company in Newark, N. J., and tells us 'that D. M. Byers is with the same company in its offices at 140 West St., New York. Byers and his wife are living at 102 North Arlington Ave., East Orange, N. J.
Dick Dickinson is working at the National Shawmut Bank in Boston, but finds time to give us a good line on some of the boys he runs into. Bill Doe of Somersworth and Boston married Miss Genevieve Peak of Somerville on the eighth of July, and is working with Swift and Company.
George Kenney, with the Glens Falls Fire Insurance Company, is now a special agent at 8 East Broad St., Columbus, Ohio.
John Dregge stepped off on the twenty-third of June, marrying Miss Constance Cleaveland at lonia, Mich.
Spud Spaulding has evidently been slowing up on the advertising game, for word comes of his engagement to Miss Katherine Anderson of Newton Center. Atta boy, Spud.
To continue concerning Benedicts or those who have been "sunk for that club," Robin Robinson married Miss Ellen Martha Newsome at West Roxbury, Mass., on July 13.
On June 14 David Fales Strong was married in Vienna. Austria, to Miss Barbara Nolen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Nolen of Cambridge, Mass.
William Stanley Patten was married on June 25 in St. John's church, Arlington, Mass., to Miss Katherine Carpenter, Smith '24.
Frank Bardol digs himself out of the missing list in great shape. He is working with the W. T. Grant Company, and says that no permanent business address can be used for him, as he is being shifted about over the country too often. His permanent home address is 195 Tappan St., Brookline, Mass.
NOTES ON THE REUNION
The Thundering Third was some racquet, and it wasn't tennis either.
"Lindy" Luitwieler with "Byrd" Ritter and "Chamberlain" Bob Hayes made a rapid flight from Boston to Reunion, making only one stop and that was on a field in Concord.
Ken Harvey, the realtor, was on hand to strap on an engineer's suit with the rest of the boys, and he said that the waves were still breaking on the Cape.
Rollie Barker was one of the best ball players in a game Saturday P. M. Stan Lyon tried to kill a lady, who was minding her own business crossing the campus after graduation, by slamming a baseball at her (a liner right off the stick). It hit the lady, but she is steadily improving. Jeff Adams was umpire, and I'll say he better not try to do business the way he ran that ball game or they'll have him in jail. Ted Learnard caught, but made one very pretty stop with his right eye rather than his hand.
Ted Nilsen and Johnny Griffin rolled in from Keene looking happy and prosperous. Johnny is now running a garage. Mike Branch and Lewie Erckert with their wives were up from Florida.
Bob Strong '24 and Hanover was looking very well, and said he felt better than that. Bob is to be thanked by all for his very faithful work for the class. He has done more for '24 than anybody else by his untiring efforts on the Alumni Fund. And when he announced that he could not continue his work as class agent, 1924 was dealt a heavy blow.
We had a pretty efficient cavalry when Putty Blodgett, Lymie Thompson, and Thirsty Ritter came thundering across the campus in a cloud of dust on four stampeding stallions. Yes, Ken Harvey was on that other charger, and he certainly was an impressive sight.
Pancho Sturtevant came up, and had everything but his ukelele.
Vinny Rogers, Pete Walsh, and George Murphy were very good at the supper Saturday night, and Vinny put on some snappy numbers.
Jimmie Reid said that business was good, and Jim gave evidence of being happy to be located with a publishing house.
Red Henretta and Ed Bailey were also out standing figures in the ball gartle. (Oh, that ball game was a rough affair). Alton Tupper played in the hot corner part of the time, alternating with Putty Blodgett.
Jack Parker, Ken Davis, George Prager, Curt Bird, Stan Lonsdale, Charles Kearns, Wallie Lord, Walt Barnard, Henry Hudson, Charlie Wood, Paul Wright, Bob Ellsworth, Ernie Barvoets, Dave Perry, and Brad Stafford were all spending the week-end in green engineers' suits, also. It was a fine reunion, and all we have got to do now is look forward to the Fifth, which we hope will be bigger, better, and longer than the Thundering Third, which was a great success.
