CLASS OF 1920
As we sit down to our few bits of Twenty news our mind wanders back to an evening not long ago when we read the last issue of the TWENTY TOOTER, famed periodical of our worthy contemporaries. Never have we seen such a mass of newsworthy materials so well presented as this issue from the fingers of Editor Horan. Our hat is off to him and his collaborators. We lost count of the pages, but there must have been somewhere between twenty and thirty, single spaced at that. Even granting his undoubted ability to make much of little, he must have at least an occasional letter from someone about something or other. During the past month no communication of any kind has come to our mail box. The inference is, we believe, fairly clear.
We are indebted to the Alumni Records Office for most of what is appended. Going back a number of years we find HANK SPERO in the advertising business in Cleveland, later in real estate at Indianapolis. He is now the Chicago manager for the Turner Type Founders Company, and is living with his wife and two children at 226 North Clinton St.
Although CLAUDE FAR WELLhas always kept his Groton, Mass., address on the books, he has done considerable traveling around. In 1923 lie was in Nashua, 1924 in Keene, 1925 in Philadelphia, 1928 in Winchester, Mass., where he was teaching school. He is still teaching, but this year at the Wooster School, Danbury, Conn. We have no family datum, so assume there isn't any.
GIBBEY GIBSON is selling in Chicago for the Union Bag and Paper Corporation. He is living at the Allerton House, home of many a bachelor. He has previously been located in New York and Detroit.
Seven and two are the ages of the two GERRY BARON children. For a long time in financial work, dad's present location is Colombus with the Bancohio Securities Company. Our previous report from him was on the letterhead of the Atlantic National Bank of Boston, many of whose affairs are in the capable hands of classmate MUGS MORRILL.
DTJKE BELLEN and his wife were two welcome attendants at the Tenth. We put it this way because, if we are not mistaken, Duke graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. And we mightadd that few of our many graduates of other colleges have retained enough interest in Dartmouth even to report their whereabouts. Duke is and always will be very much a member of the class of 1920. We assume he is still at Albany instructing Tide Water service men how to wipe off the windshield of every visiting car even though the stop may be only for air. There are two girls, seven and four.
We are glad to hear again from BERFORDOAKLET, now the Western manager for Marine Transit Corporation, with headquarters in Barge Canal Terminal, Buffalo. When last heard from he was living in Larchmont, N. Y.
Although not a record holder, ABB PRESCOTT has done his share of movingaround: 1926 Cleveland, 1929 Ravenna, Ohio, now Kirksville, Mo. At some time or other he must have been in St. Paul, for it was there that he married Lillian McDonald. The record reveals one child, a girl, Mary Jean, born in 1927.
This meagre report does not do KEN HUSSET justice, for he has been a consistent letter- writer, a joy to every editor. Whenever there is anything to report about Ken we know ahead of time about what it is going to be, and this time is no exception: new location with W. T. Grant Cos., Danbury, Conn. Although at one time he was with the United Shoe Machinery Company, he has for several years been with his present company, and has beeii manager of several stores, among them at Gardner, Mass. If Ken is married he's kept it a secret.
POP BIHCH, a frequent attendant at class suppers in New York, is a mortgage broker, and gives his address care of Ivor B. Clark, 331 Madison Ave., New York.
We do not know that we have ever reported in much detail on SAM STRATTON. Until such time as his handwriting becomes more legible it will have to suffice to say that he is an assistant professor of economics at the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration. There's a lot that comes before this, but we lack the energy necessary to interpret it. We'll try that some month when there isn't any news.
The Secretary wound up his connection with the Murray Printing Company in Cambridge on January 1; will probably have a new connection to report in the next issue. Until then. . . .
Secretary, . 774 Great Plain Ave., Needham, Mass.
