This month's column is to be entitled "Late News Flashes." Most of the items are late, not all of them are news, but practically each one .is a flash.
Larry Welch, in Boston, with the bond buying department of the Old Colony Trust Company. Why is it that secretaries who did not go to Tuck School are always tempted to write "Tuck School" after the name of each individual who did so when reporting his present occupation? There's nothing dusty about the Old Colony Company either.
Speaking of Boston, I was favored by a short call from Jock Brace of the First National Bank of that city upon the occasion of one of his recent visits to New York. Wish more of the class had the same habit of dropping in when in New York.
Win Prescott, in the accounting department of the Gillette Safety Razor Company.
Ted Geisel, as you may have noticed, is getting rather prolific in Judge under the old time pen-name of "Seuss," his middle moniker. He even went so far as to print some of Dutch Jerman's school boy adventures in an issue around Christmas time.
Dutch Hendrian, one time representative of Gunther's, another time of Macy's, has now settled to the insurance game, if it is a game, with the Travelers Company in New York.
Charlie Flint may be found at Camp Elizabeth, Pine Bluffs, Newport, Vt., a good place, he says, for a summer vacation.
Congratulations to Steve Ryan upon the announcement, at Christmas time, of his engagement to Miss Margaret Lampee of Winchester, Mass.
Congratulations too to Jack Norris, engaged to Miss Beatrice Mclntyre of Needham, Mass. Both these boys have picked home town girls, you'll notice.
Ray Comer ford, now athletic director of the high school at Leominster, Mass., residence in Roxbury.
Paul Hartstall, associate in French at the University of California, Berkeley.
Elmer Richards, in the investment banking business with Lehman Bros., New York.
Syd Batehelder, sales manager of something, Boylston St., Boston, residence in Maiden.
Charlie Moore, in promotion work with the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, Washington.
Phil Farnsworth, a salesman of Frigidaires, working and residing in Newark, N. J.
Pete Kelsey, special agent for the American Insurance Company of Newark, working and residing in Albany, N. Y.
Dick Gratz, formerly in Duluth with the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company, severed relations there and since last November has been with Kenneth H. Bayliss and Company, investment securities, St. Paul, as assistant secretary. Dick wrote us about that, too, only a couple of months after it happened, which is more than we can say for a lot of you. Also, Dick is one of those who recommend married life, and further states that he will be at the third reunion. A perfect record!
Eddie Pease and Bob Rahmanop went to Stamford about the first of December to study conditions at the Stollwerk Chocolate Company. Having done so, they are now on the road for that firm, Eddie in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania in general, and Bob in Indiana for the present.
Hal Rider is located in Hartford doing something or other, and Curt Wright is reported as the outstanding example of a college man in that city who is neither in the bond or insurance business. Our correspondent neglected to state, being stunned by that first outstanding fact, just what does occupy Curt's time.
Gam Rogers, erroneously reported elsewhere, is still holding forth at Daytona Beach, Fla.
Clif Hill is the economics department at Springfield Y. M. C. A. College, Springfield, Mass. That is no idle jest—he teaches all four years, and early this year was sent to Washington, where he attended an Eccy conference at the appointment of the college. And he only took courses 1 and 2 at Hanover.
Pete Haffenreffer is an executive in a couple of Fall River corporations, in which city he resides.
Max Emerson, who was in South America for a time, has returned and married and settled in business in Boston.
Ken Hill, with headquarters in Hartford, is still knocking them down for Dillon, Read, and Company.
Secretary, 2710 Graybar Building, New York
