CLASS OF 1924
The '24 Hour Notice has reached you by this time, unless it fell out of the envelope on the way. No alibis are offered for several obvious errors. There are a couple of mistakes that are improvements, in fact, though not intended.
At the present writing we cannot report further concerning the status of the Alumni Fund, but a complete story later will bring you all the standings and quotas.
The financial editor of the Hartford, Conn., Times, Ced Foster, has made twenty-four trips to California and one to Tahiti, where he visited John Farnham '23. His crosscountry commuting explains itself by his marriage to Miss Marguerite Lane of Butler, Mo., on December 12, 1921, in Berkeley, Cal. They have two daughters, Shirley, aged 7, and Sarah Ann, aged 3.
Pop Foster is a few miles away in Wethersfield, Conn. Of insurance he writes, "The woods are thinning out but not too thin even so waiting a little impatiently for the break Here's How!" Pop married on October 24, 1925 (but we can't read her name), and has two boys, Peter, aged 3, and Bill, aged 6 months. "Getting in an occasional drink have a good cellar though gorgeous gin, wonderful wine, rotten rye (1 quart), and one case of beer. Come on down, there's no lock on the door." After saying which, Pop's address will be sent on request.
Jeff Adams is trying to put the iceman out of business in Lynn, selling Frigidaires. He was married in 1925 to Miss Beatrice Holliday. They have a daughter, Jean, four years old.
Art Adams is teaching at the Choate School, Wallingford, Conn. He spent two years in Florida doing a little bit of everything. Art is very much a bachelor, and taking advantage of it this summer by going to Europe.
Nat Sawyer tried the restaurant and hotel business on the Cape and in Concord, then swung over to life insurance, and is now with the Concord Lumber Company selling building materials. He was married August 3 to Miss Pauline Davenport, and lives at 221 North Main St. Rog Littlefield, with the Conover Company in Boston, did some of the patrol duty at Nat's wedding. Nat says that Ruel Tucker assists the headmaster at the Concord High School, and also that Dick Perry runs a store in Charlestown, N. H.
From the Players, Jim Newton graduated to editorial writer for the Worcester Telegram, and Gazette, specializing in feature stories. He got into Russia last year while seeking material for his daily stint, but is safe once more under the green eye shade in the office.
Ken Goss, married May 19, 1926, to Miss Katherine Sutherland, superintends the production department of the DeSoto Creamery and Produce Company in Minneapolis. Fishing is the only past or future reunion on the calendar.
A 1 Hadlock is somewhere in between Kirlin, Campbell, Hickox, Keating, and McGrann. "Have stayed on the outside looking on the inside of most penitentiaries by learning the quirks of the laws which put one in jail—and of the other laws—and keeping myself occupied in the comparatively lawabiding profession of dispensing this learning to others for a consideration. In September, 1928, I returned from a year on a fellowship at a German university with a decidedly favorable impression of our former enemies. Attended the annual alumni dinner at New York, which was a great success, I thought, Prexy and I both being present. Look forward to the results of the questionnaire. I'd like to get some idea of what particular breed of dogs the class appears to be going to."
Rudy Haerle with Hibben-Hollweg and Company, wholesale dry goods, Indianapolis, fills up a couple of sheets with "no's," but reports that he is married to Miss Elizabeth Compton Shepard, and is father of George, aged 20 months.
Bill Jones discloses that Minneapolis reunions are few and far between, because "what there are of us are scattered all over hell's half acre. Ed Brooks is owner of some well-known old bookstore importers in London. Forgotten the name. Tom Atwood is one of the more prominent coffee roasters of this hamlet. The last I heard of Dick Leonard, which was at least two years ago, was that he is still relieving the North Dakota farmers of their nickels and dimes in one of Bismarck's better banks. Dave Rubins is on the path to world renown as a sculptor, studying in Rome. Don't know whether any of the above information is new to you, but thought it might throw some light on one or two that you may not have heard about. Won't vouch for its authenticity, as I haven't heard from or about any of them recently. As for myself, I am pioneering in the field of public address systems and centralized radio installations for schools, hospitals, hotels, etc., in this part of the world with Hawley, Inc., of which I am V. P." Bill lives at 87 South 10th St., Minneapolis, with his wife, Miss Helen L. LaDoux, and son, J. Willis 111, aged 3% years.
Joe Holliday with Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills, Walker Ave. and Seventh St., Kansas City, Kans., writes to Charlie French, "In case you are sending any of your gleanings from numerous letters you may receive, to Spud Spaulding, he might like as a matter of record the fact that the little daughter's name is Olive, for her mother, and was born May 2."
Secretary, , 7 Harvard St., Worcester, Mass.
