CLASS OF 1924
(These under date of December 17.)
With the holidays at hand, the alumni in western Pennsylvania may begin working up appetites for the Christmas luncheon, although their hopes of seeing the Green basketball team in action against the University of Pittsburgh have been shattered by the local school calling off all sports during the holidays due to the "flu." This means that the Secretary and Joe Egolf will not compose the '24 cheering section and will have no excuse for celebration. Joe is with the Ludlow Valve Manufacturing Company at 422 Oliver Building, Pittsburgh.
Joe Holliday will be married to Miss Olive Moffitt at St. Louis, Mo., on January fifth. So far this is the only declaration of intention that we can bring before the class this month.
Bob Morgan sends the following: "Until a month or so ago I was located up in God's North Country in the winter and summer resort business at Pecketts-on-Sugar-Hill, Franconia, N. H. The fascinating bubble of investment banking has attracted me out of the sticks to Boston, where I am now located with the statistical department of the First National Corporation of Boston.
"About ten days ago I saw Ted Learnard shortly after his return from the 'trip of trips.' Wes Blake, living close by here in Cambridge, is in the uptown office of Kidder, Peabody, and Company. Jim Jagger writes me from New York that he has been moved downtown to the Wall St. bureau of the Associated Press. He has been with them for three years."
Bob is living at 16 Lancaster St., Cambridge.
Dana Haskin shoots a newsy pen: "Fortunately I have succeeded in working up to the present position of assistant superintendent of the Rhode Island Lines of the New England Transportation Company, a subsidiary of the New Haven Railroad Company. It handles all motor coach operation connected with or running in parallel operation with the rail lines. I am living at the Y.M.C.A. in Providence; and probably shall be located here for some time. I plan to be married to Miss Edith Bryant of Maiden on the first of February and will see Hanover at Carnival time, as part of our honeymoon schedule includes a stop-over at that metropolis. Roy J. Gillander, my old roommate, will act as my best man. He is now with the Norton Company of Worcester."
Dave Perry is lining up the organization for the coming festivities in June, and the rumble of activities in Boston will soon be heard by all of us. If Dave has a golf tournament on the program of Commencement activities for the class, I advise staying as far away from the golf course as possible, for it will mean that Davie has been blistering his hands with all the indoor and outdoor practice he can get. That boy sure is a money player.
Secretary, 6625 Dalzell Place, Pittsburgh, Pa.
