Class of 1923
On April 29 the Boston Twenty-three men staged a very enjoyable party which included a dinner at the University Club followed by a trip to the theatre. Sherm Clough and Brooks Palmer are right on the job and have several interesting "get-togethers" planned for the spring and summer months.
Bill Gratz wrote from St. Paul that it was time the magazine contained news from his section of the country—so here goes : Paul McKown is married and still working for the Fire & Marine Insurance Cos. Incidentally, he played on their championship hockey team.
Bob Maxwell has given up teaching and is now with Lane, Piper and Jaffray in the statistical department. Eddie Lynch, in case you haven't heard, is with the same company sellingbonds. Eddie, by the way, is quite the man about town and being good-looking and single, is much sought for by the fair sex.
Ches Sweney is working for some railroad company in the neighborhood of St. Paul.
Bill Kelly and Jack Booth were last seen in Los Angeles. They admitted being on a vacation. Bill is now located at the Kings County Hospital, Brooklyn, while Jack is at the Bellevue, New York. Incidentally, Jack's voice is .heard over the radio quite often. Bill Gratz is still single and is with the credit department of the First National Bank, St. Paul.
Walt Gates was married on March 5th to Catherine Hamilton, a graduate of Leland Powers School. From all reports, the wedding was a very enjoyable affair, the reception being held in the Hamilton home. Mr. and Mrs. Gates spent the greater part of their honeymoon in Tampa, Florida, and are now living in Hartford, Conn.
Swede Swenson, after a season with the Chicago Bulls, a pro football outfit, settled down a bit and is now working eight hours a day. His engagement to Virginia Forbes, Smith '23, of Evanston, Illinois, was recently announced. It is to be a fall wedding, I believe.
Metz Metzel is becoming stoop-shouldered from night walking with his twin boys, now eight months old. Metz is with the Cutler Shoe Company.
The Opera Club orchestra, under the direction of "Spike" Hamilton, will give its first afternoon program on W-G-N today. Listeners are asked to tune in, and watch for future announcements concerning this peppy musical organization which is scheduled to entertain often. Mr. Hamilton is a graduate of Dartmouth, '23, and during his college days was active in musical lines. His orchestra, also composed largely of college men, has been featured at some of the country's highest class hotels and seaside resorts. The phonograph records have been popular, as well. The orchestra, whose career for the last three years at the Opera Club has been marked with success, will be heard in varied programs on W-G-N at late hours on Wednesday and Saturday nights.
