Class of 1924
With the red-flannel season just getting well under way, the class can turn envious eyes on Bud Seavey, who is on the way to South America, where he will add his talents to those of the United Fruit Company.
The Dartmouth '24 section of the Orient is well represented by Red Newell, who is with the International Banking Corporation at Harbin, which city we learn is termed the "Paris of the East." Red believes this is a bit too colorful, though he uses up considerable vellum in telling of the beauty and temperament of the Russian ladies of the city. By this time Red has learned the result of the Cornell game. A letter of sympathy will be sent to him. The letter from this distant end of the world winds up with "yours for beer and turpitude," so maybe working in China isn't so bad after all.
Brad Stafford says that he runs into a lot of men from the class around Springfield, where Win Sturtevant sells securities for Torry Hawkins Company, and Bob Benjamin writes insurance for the State Mutual Insurance Company. At the Yale game Brad saw Paul Wright, who is a gentleman farmer in Orange, Conn.
Sending future men to Dartmouth is included in the vocation of George Lyons, who is writing educational insurance in Cleveland. George is now settled down as a married man at 2440 Overlook Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio. While talking of the Ohio metropolis it might not be speaking out of turn to say that George Traver, the genteel treasurer, has as his headquarters the University Club at Dallas, Texas, from which he radiates with his wares.
Cliff Blake is dispensing English in the class rooms of the University of Texas, at Austin.
Raymond Hopkins placed his name on the class roll of benedicts the last of October, when he was married to Miss Helen Louise Manson at Arlington, Mass.
Ned Mansure, while working with the E. L. Mansure Company in Chicago, has been studying law, and in June hopes to receive his LL.B., after which he will take his bar examinations. This puts a damper on Ned's chances for making '24's third reunion.
A genuine breath of "Good Old New England" came the other day, when a letter was received from Ax Coffin. Ax no longer can lay claim to being the Daniel Boone of the class, for his days are now spent as a smooth and dapper insurance agent in the wilds of Chicago. He certainly picked a splendid field for his work, especially since Windy City citizens have been packing machine guns.
The engagement of Bob Hayes and Miss Frances Barry Powell of Providence was recently announced. From last reports Bob is with the telephone company in Boston. Bill Oatman is in the Arpin Milk Products Company at Arpin, Wis., too far from Hanover for a haul back in June.
So far answers to the class cards have been received from one quarter of the class. Not a bad percentage to get back in a week's time. If anyone in the class has not received one of the return postal cards, will he please get in touch with the Secretary at once, for either a class booklet or a Twenty-Four Hour Notice is about to be sent to the printer.
The marriage of Miss Harriet Cotter Brooks, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lyman Brooks of Wellesley Hills, Mass., to Samuel Abbott Lamson, took place in the Unitarian church at Wellesley Hills on October 13. Dana Bent was best man. Mr. and Mrs. Lamson are living at 18 Saunders Terrace, Wellesley Hills.
Secretary, 6625 Dalzell Place, Pittsburgh, Pa.
