Class of 1924
Dick Moyse has about the best excuse of anyone for not being able to hold out any hope for making '24's THIRD this June, as he is with the Travelers Bank at 20 Place Vendotne, Paris.
Ev Baker is engaged to Miss Helen Macdonald, of Boston and Montreal. Ev is the assistant minister at the Mt. Vernon church and puts down 490 Beacon St., Boston, as his home address.
George Gercke's whereabouts depend largely on our being able to figure out what country s stamp graces the postal card on which he tells us that reunion chances are not so good.
George Matchett writes from Seattle that he is married and with the real estate firm of Carter, Mac Donald, and Miller, at 719 Second Ave. Bob Fenderson, with the National Shawmut Bank of Boston, gives his chances for getting back to Hanover a BB rating. He and Mrs. Fenderson live at 121 St. Stephen St., Boston.
Word comes of the engagement of Rollie Taylor and Miss Edna Isabelle Craig. Congratulations, Rollie.
Red Newell is about as far away from Hanover as one can be, working with the National City Bank of New York at its Harbin, Manchuria, branch.
Willard Poole was married to Miss Harriet Sawyer Kendall of Worcester, Mass., last September. Frank Harrington helped Willard along in the capacity of usher. At present this fairly recent benedict is' a member of the department of sociology at McGill University, Montreal.
Phil Gould is just bubbling over with the news of a '24 legacy, Philip Chapman Gould, Jr., who seems slated for the class entering in '43. The young man was born on December sixth—right appropriate date, for it was Phil Senior's birthday. Phil is now "located in Portland, Maine, walking the floor and trimming windows for one S. S. Kresge in his dollar store."
Win Nazro shoots us another of his newsy letters from the regions of Tela, Honduras. He speaks of Christmas as follows: "Christmas here was like July Fourth at home except for the decorations and toys in the homes. I had a great time helping to trim the tree for the children of my boss. To think of doing that to the tinkling of ice in a highball instead of icicles falling from the eaves outside the window. And then finishing Christmas up by going out and enjoying a warm swim. I saw the notice in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE under '01 news where Vernon Gooch reports traveling around Central America. He has been here several times and made things quite interesting with his amiable talks."
Roily Barker has given up teaching in favor of selling books for the American Book Company, with headquarters in Boston. Norm Rosie is in New York with the Motion PictureWorld.
Charley Johnson writes from 8 Palmer Ave., Swampscott, Mass., that he is with the Boston Terminal, Inc., a steamship terminal operating concern, at the Army Base. After being put through his paces by the concern he is now assistant superintendent.
The state bar exams hang over Les Haws and his hopes for making Hanover in June. He spent his Christmas vacation in the snowbound town and painted a picture of it which made us mighty homesick. Les passes along the word that Lew Pezzini is a reporter for the Philadelphia Public Ledger, and that Buts Crowter is scouting around the Quaker village selling bonds or insurance—evidently Les hasn't been approached.
Jim Franciscus thinks the real estate business in St. Louis may ease down to the extent that he can make the grade north in June. He is with the Franciscus Realty Company at 804 Chestnut St., St. Louis.
George Kenney has been in Chicago for over a year with the Glens Falls Insurance Company. He gives us the following on '24 doings in Chicago: "A 1 Burke, Bunt Campbell, Johnny Barlow, Charlie French, Ted Lamb (blonde), Ax Coffin, and Don Stevenson are a few of the '24 men I have seen lately, so you see we have quite a colony out here."
Jim White was married on February 19 to Miss Lucille Horton. He says through necessity thumbs down on the Third Reunion, but puts a big OK for the Fifth.
Note this from Kipp Higley, at the Sandy Hill National Bank of Hudson Falls, N. Y. : "Not much '24 dope can emanate from these barrens. Bob Davidson is the only one around, and I see him occasionally. Have had some mighty pleasant elbow-bending bouts with him. He's the lumber king of the North Country, you know. May the thundering of the class of '24 drown all else at its Thunderous Third—will see you there." By the way Kipp is assistant to the president of the Sandy Hill National. He and Mrs. Higley (the wedding took place last September) can be reached at Hudson Falls, N. Y.
Johnnie Mauk and his wife, who was Miss Virginia White of Spokane, Wash., have settled on the coast, where John is with the C. A. Mauk Lumber Company, with offices in the Skinner Building, Seattle, Wash.
The Secretary is ready to shout from the housetops that J. S. Austin, Jr., now aged two and a half months, will be all set to get off the B. and M. at Norwich when the class of 1948 makes its initial bow at Hanover.
Secretary, _ 6625 Dalzell Place, Pittsburgh, Pa.
