Class of 1924

Had a great thrill the other night when I managed to get Spike Hamilton ('23) and his Opera Club Orchestra from one of the Chicago broadcasting stations. Thus far no '24 orchestra leaders have been heard on the radio, the nearest thing in the line of music being a letter from Herb Marks written on the letterhead paper of the Edward B. Marks Music Company, publishers and importers of music, 223-225 West 46th St., New York. Herb was married to Miss Hortense Eugenie Tyroler on December 22 in New York, with Jerry Sussman, Honey Honigsberg, and Milt Uris acting as ushers. After a trip to Havana, Herb's home address will be 736 West End Ave., New York city.

Doc Wright, who was married last June to Miss Marjorie Stenson of Hartford, Conn., is with the Robert Gair Company, general purchasing department, 420 Lexington Ave., New York. Gene Wood and Fay Hourdequin are the only two members of the class he has seen recently. The Wright family is living at 163 Radford St., Yonkers, N. Y.

Johnnie Dregge contributes the following, from his office with Nichols and Cox Lumber Company, Grand Rapids, Mich: "Charlie French gets over here once in a while in his capacity as a representative of the crating division of the Chicago Mill and Lumber Company. Charlie claims that married life is a pretty good proposition, and he seems very enthusiastic about it. He and his wife are settled at 321 Custer St., Evanston, I11.

"I also hear from Andy Anderson quite often, and he tells me that he has had a great time with the I. W. W. strike out in Colorado. He was my best man at the wedding last June, and Charlie French was one of the ushers."

Ted Lamb (brunette) has had some experiences recently which cause one to imagine him in some vocation other than the staid practice of law, as his letterhead proclaims. To use his own words :

"After graduation from law school, I started out for Alaska. My trip up there became a very eventful one when I landed in a seaplane and hit a log, almost getting killed. As that was the third serious tumble I had received in less than a year, it of course was not an entirelynew experience. A few months ago I was hit by a 'hit-run' driver and, as a result, took eleven broken bones, both arms and both legs getting the breaks. I walked and rode horseback all the way back from Seattle, Wash., going through Glacier and Yellowstone Parks, and enjoying marvelous experiences every day. On the coast I saw John Fleming, who is now practicing law in Cleveland, and Johnnie Mauk, who is a leading lumber 'magot' of the Northwest country. Morey Ahlquist is in the bond business in Spokane : Larry Hughes does the same in San Francisco. Harry Holmlund sells automobiles in Seattle. As for me, I am practicing law here in Toledo with the firm of Marshall, Melhorn, Marlar and Martin, and learing the intricacies of corporate enterprise."

George Traver is now with the Paperboard Industries Association, a trade association in sales promotion work, with his residence at The Claridge, 319 Dempster St., Evanston, I11. George speaks of a roundup of '24 men to be held in the near future in Chicago for the purpose of a class dinner.

Kenmore Emerson is with the International Banking Corporation at Manila, Philippine Islands.

Bill Dußois is in the foreign department of the Seaboard National Bank, 59 Broad St., New York city. His home address remains unchanged as 70 Lydecker St., Englewood, N. J.

Robin Robinson is this year abroad on a "Sheldon Traveling Fellowship" of Harvard University, with an address of Hamburg, 37, Germany, Klostevallee 5/ PT.R., Bei Wilt. He has been appointed instructor in mathematics at Dartmouth for 1928.

Dave Perry, speaking like the Boston Herald, says that Ted Learnard and Stan Lyon are still the "Newton Boys," and haunt the Boston Arena. Ted played a nice game for the University Club against Yale at New Haven on December 10, the Boston Club winning 8 to 5. Dave said he played a little, but feels that he should have quit long ago.

Due to the class giving up the idea of entire class subscription to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, the officers wish to urge every man to make his own subscription, as it is felt that the ALUMNI MAGAZINE is the best means of keeping in touch with the individual members of the class, as well as with the major current events of the College.
