CLASS OF 1924
The United Fruit Company declared a holiday in January for at least two members of the class. Bud Seavey journeyed up to Newtonville, Mass., with Mrs. Bud, on their honeymoon from Honduras early in January, and returned to their new house at Tela just as the ground hog was kidding himself about balmy weather. Bud was married to Miss Eunice Warren of Brookline, Mass., on December 27. She was also connected with the United Fruit at a company hospital in Honduras. Bud just at present supervises the loacding of bananas aboard ship. According to Putty Blodgett, who paid the couple a visit while they were here, the groom looks mysteriously on the marriage ceremony. It was all in Spanish, and Bud doesn't recollect one familiar word.
Win Nazro came North from Tela to visit and to announce his engagement to Miss Dorothy Grant of Auburndale, Mass. They expect to be married in June and to return to Honduras.
Speaking of the big deer and bear man, we are in on the ground floor details of his marriage. Putty confides that he is not only to be married in April to Miss Charlotte Towle of Newton, but that he has purchased a house and an acre or two of land for his dog
in Lincoln, Mass. (often found by accident between Waltham and Concord.) What with a grant to chop down an adjoining young forest, a well-drawing fireplace (he claims it was built by a specialist), and most of the furnishings complete, only the snow needs to be shoveled off the walk and the wedding performed.
The usual nest of envelopes recently disclosed another benedict farewell. El Dickinson married Miss Eugenia Maslen of Hartford, Conn, on January 25. They will hang out the latchkey the middle of February at 141 Englewood Ave., Brookline, Mass.
Ax Coffin saved this month's average of replies to pleas for correspondence from zero. He needs introduction anew to this column as editor of "Dartmouth Diddings," the scandal sheet of the Chicago Alumni Association. Though the issue he sends along does not represent his debut, it indicates that the Chicago boys will get well caught up in their Dartmouth reading a la Abe Martin style. He reports steady interest in Hanoverian affairs from Johnny Townes, George Emrich, Charley French, Keith Drake, Herb Kaiser, Frank Karslake, Jerry Wood, Otis Jackson, and Chief Traver. Chief left the general health of the paper box and board business to its fate, and many opportunities to drop in on the boys from Boothbay to Bisbee, to manage the Chicago Safety Council. Ax, here's hoping he needed little convincing from you that it was fittin' and proper to buy more insurance with such a job in your city.
China from all reports turned out an author in Keith Drake. All life is not reject cards for him either. So writes our Chicago informant. As for the salary menace, Coffin, he reports great enthusiasm for insurance, for his successful escape from matrimony, and for a plan whereby at sixty he will marry a nurse who can then take care of him.
Rumor has hinted that Maine was to include a new summer vacation tycoon this year, one Dick Ludwig. At least he is supposed to have departed from Boston to organize a summer camp or camps. Either the weather wasn't auspicious or something, because Dick is back in the Hub selling insurance.
Bill Fawcett and Ed Donaldson are making a run on Tracy City, Tenn. Ed married Miss Elizabeth Hampton of that fair spot on January 4, and Bill took a step in the same direction by announcing his engagement to Miss Sarah Hampton, sister of the bride, The Donaldsons will live in Glen Cove. L. 1., where Ed will meet all comers hankering for a house and lot.
Secretary, C. 7 Harvard St., Worcester, Mass.
