Class of 1924
It is only rarely that an alumnus can rate any time in the Daily Dartmouth during Carnival, but right beside the headlines of "Oudoor Night at 6:45 Opens Carnival Gaiety," we found "Skaters Thought Drowned Turn Up After Two-day Trip"—and reading on we found that one of the skaters was Ives Atherton. To quote the College daily: "The disappearance of three Dartmouth skaters on the Connecticut river caused a great deal of worry on the Dartmouth campus Tuesday and yesterday. Ives Atherton '24, Clinton Goodwin '2B, and Raymond Shaw '2B started skating up the Connecticut river at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. When they did not return for supper, their fraternity brothers sent out five searching parties.
"One of the first parties to start out was the Dartmouth skating team. After skating eight miles up the river in the dark, the party turned back. While searching parties were still out, and alarm was turning to despair, the three men stumbled into their fraternity house at 3:30 in the morning.
"They had yielded to their adventurous spirit and had skated to Bradford, Vt., 25 miles north of here. Too tired to return on skates, the men walked in their stocking feet to the Bradford railroad station and waited for the early morning train to Hanover."
Harold Ranney has "seen the light," and the following was received from him: "As you can see above, I'm still with The Electragist, which is an electrical trade paper. I serve in a lot of capacities, the best of which is leaning back in a swivel chair and gazing at the alleys between here and 38th St.
"I was married on October 21, 1927 to Edith Fischer Meyer of South Orange, N. J. Speck Ramsdell was best man and Harold Collins (whose addresss is 106 Perry St., New York city), Bill Haas '22, and Bruce Eaken '26 were among the ushers. Dick Dickinson was coming down from Boston, but finally decided the big city would be too much for him. I don't remember much about the big event myself, except that I saw Leo FitzPatrick and Charlie Amelung drinking punch with the other guests.
"Ramsdell is with the U. S. Gypsum Company, selling building materials in northern New Jersey and just now rehearsing for the Oranges Junior League Follies, along with Tibby Marshall '25 and others. Speck lives at 30 Washington Terrace, East Orange, N. J.
"Harold Collins, who left Dartmouth after sophomore year to go to Columbia, is advertising manager of the S. B. Thomas Bread Company of Long Island. He is living just a few blocks from Bob Fistere.
"While on my honeymoon, stopped at Peckett's on Sugar Hill, where I was surprised to find Bob Morgan, who was in charge of the hotel and busying himself with keeping the guests happy. I recently saw Bus Vought on the street. He's working on one of his father's construction jobs in New Rochelle or thereabouts.
"One sees some of the boys now and then around the Dartmouth Club here in New York: Spud Spaulding, who looks like the advertising man he is; Fat Daum, who is fatter and more prosperous looking than anyone I've seen and who has a good job with General Motors; and others whom I cannot think of just at present. Sam Stickney is trying to get up a class dinner for February 14. He has gone into insurance broking. Fred Briscoe, who has been married for a couple of years now, sent me a Christmas card from Hartford, so I suppose he is still there with the United Fruit Company."
Stub Jones sends us his address as 108 South Brown St., Jackson, Mich., and along with that a very newsy letter. He says: "I'm still trying to clean up with Proctor and Gamble (excuse the 'wet' pun). Have been switched around quite a bit. In the advertising department for two years and during that time traveling quite extensively. Saw John Dregge in Toronto several times in the summer of 1926. We enjoyed the amusement park! Art Sprague is a lawyer in Chicago, married and has a baby girl. I took the veil myself last September 3, marrying Miss May Louise Fulton, U. of Chicago '25. We are now residing at the above address, which, by the way, is 'Jackson's most modern apartment.' I am working at the exalted task of peddling soap. If I can get some 'parlor grocer' to expend $20.00 or so for soap, they think I am a regular hell of a fellow at the office. Oh well, the best things in life are free!"
Word comes from Glasgow, Ky., of the wedding of Harold FitzGerald and Miss Lucille Williams, which took place January 1. Fitz is a mortgage loan inspector in the real estate loan department of the Prudential Insurance Company of America, with headquarters at Newark, N. J.
