CLASS OF 1928
Well, I suppose you have heard by now the call of spring and Dan Hatch's Alumni Fund suggestion. Outside of agreeing with Hatch-Kimball-Langdell that this proposition is good stuff and deserves your dime, or whatever, I refuse to give it any further notice until Dan'l answers two (2) letters which I have laboriously written him. But that is merely a personal grudge and shouldn't deter you from signing on for, let's say, twenty rocks and up.
Stew Goodwillie avoids ennui by trading for Brown Brothers at New York. And the fellow has been there for a year and a halfso that's something.
Morrey Gray is headmaster of the Jefferson school district, Jefferson, N. H.
Craig Haines has been holding down the title of investment analyst for the First National Corporation at Boston for quite some time now. Craig says that Joe Merrick labors at the Apex Chocolate Company, Cambridge, Mass.—a sweet job, that Barney Norton toils for Halsey, Stuart and Company, Boston office, and that Jack Magrath sings over the radio.
George Boughton is studying law at that U. of Pennsylvania.
And Ralph Church is doing the same thing at Harvard. Must be something in this law idea, considering the mob of Dartmouths at Harvard. I'm not sure whether, or not, I've mentioned before that Ralph and Sally Juiba were married in the fall of '28— but there it is anyway.
Van Curll has been salesman and sales manager for the "Chicago Flexible Shaft Company at Chicago, and right now is selling for the Delaware Power and Light Company at Wilmington, Del.
Art Lane clerked for the National Shawmut Bank after graduation, but has been teaching English at Arlington High School since last September.
Paul Kruming has been working for the National Export Advertising Service for so long that he must be running the place by now.
Paul Knowles is working as a student apprentice in the shop of the Falk Corporation at Milwaukee,—steel, etc. He has been in the foundry for six months and six months in the erecting shop, and now is getting his hands dirty in the machine shop. Great stuff—these white collar jobs.
Ray Shaw has been a salesman at R. H. Stearns Cos., a Boston department store, and last fall was elevated to buyer of men's furnishings.
Don Solis has served time with the National Shawmut Bank, Boston, and the Hygrade Lamp Company, Salem, Mass. A year ago, he signed on with the Texas Company, spent ten weeks in training at New Haven, and at present is agent for the company at Portsmouth, N. H.
Bill Sreenan is supervisor of the soda department for the F. G. Shattuck Company (Schrafft's) at Boston. I don't want to give away any long-standing secrets, but Bill and Rebecca Hyde were married a while back.
Dick Rawson seems to be the possessor of an extensive and varied career. Back in the fall of '25 Dick got himself a job with the Wheeler-Osgood Company, of Tacoma, Wash. Later on he felt the need of fresh air, and got to be a sheepherder for E. C. Smith, Armstead, Montana. Later still he became foreman for the J. J. Dunnegan Construction Company at Shenandoah, Va., and now he is a salesman for the Atlas Powder Company.
And here's Chuck Robertson with one to match. Blacksmith for the Tex-Mex Can- della Wax Company at Reata, Coahuila, Mexico, timber estimator for the Robertson- McDonald Lumber Company at Devers, Texas. Finally secretary-treasurer of the Robertson-Kurth Hardwood Lumber Company, Liberty, Texas, and pieced in there somewhere Chuck found a few months or so in '26-27 to take the College Cruise around the world.
Red Sanborn has hied himself back to his old stamping grounds as an instructor at Phillips Academy. Summer times he directs the Cockermouth Camp at Grafton, N. H.
Johnny Lawrence has forsaken his floorwalking function at the Medford, Mass., store of W. T. Grant and Company, and is one of the extra hardworking students of the New England Tel. and Tel.
Vic Hartjens is in the credit department of the Commercial Investment Trust Corporation, New York city.
Bill Hunt was married to Edna Reeve Bossen last June (seems like I've said that before), and is doing graduate work at the Harvard Psychological Laboratory. Hank Reynolds is a second year student at Harvard Medical School.
Harry Harwood has recently gone to work for the First Union Trust and Savings Bank, of Chicago.
Brad Parker describes himself as a clerk for the Phoenix Insurance Company, of Hartford, Conn., but he, like many of the rest of us, is "learning the business" of writing inland transportation insurance.
Beef Vernon called me up as he was going through Providence a week or so ago. Says that things are going along in fine shape in New York, where the '28 gang is concerned, that he has two youngsters and that Bus Heydt '27 has the lead in "Strictly Dishonorable."
Ken Kent has been sales manager for Sample-Durick Company at Springfield, Mass., and now holds the same position with the Standard Paper Company, at Bellows Palls, Yt.
Bill Lutey spent one season with the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in Alaskan waters and three years studying at the University of Washington; for the past two years he has been in the passenger car division of the Puget Motors Company, (Pierce Arrow) at Seattle. Bill was married to Mary Reeves Dawson on March 3, last year.
The latest and by far the most important news originating in Hanover is the announcement that Jim Campion has a grandson, James Walsh Campion, 3rd. However, due credit and congratulations should be given to Mr. and|Mrs. Jim Campion, Jr., of your own class.
Secretary Waypoyset Mfg. Cos., Pawtueket, R. I.
