CLASS OF 1924

Win Nazro writes from Tela, Honduras, that the banana business is getting better and better, and then goes on to tell how he and Bud Seavey couldn't hold a big Fourth of July party—perhaps the sort that O. Henry wrote about. Bud is the Babe Ruth of the Puerto Castilla baseball team, which every year crosses bats with the Tela aggregation.

On the 20th of October, Bob Smith was married to Miss Marjorie Elizabeth Anderton at Danvers, Mass. After the first of January, they will be at home at 309 Bushkill St., Easton, Pa.

Les Haws and his bride, who before last June was Miss Lois Lee Vanderkleed, are all set up in housekeeping at 339 West Lancaster Ave., Haverford, Pa. Les says that his old roommate and best man, Gordie Lockwood, is still in Washington with his father's printing house.

Ted Learnard and Miss Beatrice Lane, of Waban, are scheduled to be married the 27th of October. Stan Lyon, Bob Strong, and a number of others, including the writer, plan to be on hand—notwithstanding the chance that the Harvard game may give for having a night off. Ted holds forth some golf at Braeburn the day before the wedding. He certainly knows his stuff, for the night previous to the golf, the bachelor dinner is held—and how!

Samuel Crosby Stickney arrived on Sunday, October 7, at the home of Sam Stickney. The young man and his mother are doing well.

Bob Smith, whose marriage was noted earlier, recently resigned as sales promotion manager of the Wheeler Reflector Company of Boston to become advertising manager of the J. T. Baker Chemical Company of Phillipsburg, N. J.

Luit Luitwieler, who was again pressed into service for the Secretaries Meeting at Hanover last spring, made some observations which I believe have not been passed along to the class:

"The first topic of discussion was the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, and Professor Clark and A 1 Frey gave us a very clear picture of what was being done and tried to point out the need of subscribers. It really was astounding to me when I picked up the ALUMNI MAGAZINE report and found how our class has supported this publication. We have, out of our total number of members, only 83 subscribers, which is 17% of our class. To equal this terrible figure, I must trace back to 1883 before I can come anywhere near our showing.

"Ort Hicks and Sid Hayward gave a very interesting report about filming the College. Pictures of all the happenings during the fall term are to be taken by members of the College officially appointed for that work, and a reel will be released sometime early in December. Another reel will then be started taking in the winter activities and Carnival, to be released sometime in March. A third film will show spring events and the house party, while a fourth will picture Commencement. These films may be rented by groups of the alumni at very slight cost. It seems a wonderful plan to me, and I heartily endorsed it.

"Ken Davis of Manchester and Ed Nason of Hartford were at the gathering, representing the Dartmouth Clubs of their respective cities."

Evidently Luit feels like a good many of us, who believe that 1924 should subscribe as a class to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. There are various pros and cons to the question, but certainly it will be one of the biggest problems that the class has to decide at the coming Fifth Reunion.

Word comes that Fred Rix is head of the Arkansas National Bank at Hot Springs, Ark.
