Class of 1922
"The Wailing Rock Murders," the second thriller from the Corona of Kip Orr, has been getting fine reviews, and I hope its sales have been boosted by purchases made by his classmates. I am sure that he wouldn't mind if any of us should buy copies for Christmas gifts to detective friends, etc. Our own Conan Doyle has been in New Orleans since June, engaged in spiritual and temporal works. One product of the stay will be a short story in the December number of an educational journal, College Humor. He is also engaged in concocting another murder mystery, having a taste for horror which makes me jumpy.
Miss Reine Gibeau and Steve Tredennick were'married in New York city on October 8. They have taken an apartment at 405 West 23d St. (London Terrace), New York. Admirers of Mr. Tredennick should know that he has for some time been in business in New York, after a spell in Boston.
Apparently there is a group in the class interested in economics or something, for dat 01' librarian Bill Shirley writes us a dib from his desk in the New York Public Library to say that at various times he has been called upon by Dick Shepard, Charlie Throop, Boinie Bernheim, Godfrey Canty. Charlie gets in frequently, being now employed by a research bureau the name of which Bill was good enough to write altogether illegibly.
The Phil Goves welcomed a son, Norwood Babcock Gove, on October 23, which was a Sunday, affording Phil plenty of time to sit down to write us about it. This is certainly the best performance so far in the particular of supplying your Winchell with news. The event occurred in the Sloane Hospital, New York, and the little Gove weighed seven pounds, thirteen ounces. Further, the Gove menage has been moved from the lee of N. Y. U. to 111 Harvard Drive, Hartsdale, N. Y., making of the professor a commuter.
We have received a prospectus for "Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham, His Life and Works," by Herbert Faulkner West. The publisher is Cranley and Day, 15a Harrington Road, London, S. W. 7, England. The book is illustrated, and costs 15 shillings. It can be obtained from the bookstores in Hanover, or from any bookseller. A limited edition, signed by both Mr. Graham and the author, will be issued at the price of two pounds, two shillings. That will be on mould-made paper, bound in full buckram. Cunninghame Graham is not very well known to the likes of us, but happens to be one of the most distinguished men of letters in England, who has lived one of the most adventurous lives of modern times. The author is living at 1640 Cambridge St., Cambridge, Mass., this winter, while attending Harvard.
We have been supplied by Lawyer (adv.) Haskell Cohn with a lush write-up in the Boston Transcript of a speech by Charley Earle before the Advertising Club of Worcester. The topic was financial advertising, which is what the "Local Banker" (as the headline put it) does for Chase Harris Forbes Corporation.
Danny Kincaid, greatly to our surprise, has furnished some information about himself—that he is living in Shapham Court, White Plains, N. Y., and is employed as a securities salesman by George H. Burr & Co., of 57 William St., New York city. His brother in the deathless tie of Beta, Ben Wilson, is in the mortgage loan business in sweet Scarsdale, with L. Walker, Cushman Road, but he likewise lives in White Plains at 201 Main St.
Ray Atwood, whose marriage was chronicled here recently, is now living at Beck Hall, 1201 Massachusetts Hall, Cambridge, Mass. Whereas formerly he was employed by America's answer to the depression, Henry Ford, he now labors as credit manager for Sears, Roebuck & Co., 201 Brookline Ave., Boston.
Monty Mountcastle, of the Mountcastle Map Company, 2530 Superior Ave., Cleveland, Ohio, has supplied the bare fact that he is now domiciled in 3243 Bradford Road, Cleveland Heights (Ohio).
We recently visited Had Pinney in his new home on East 65th St., Gotham, and can assure such cronies of his as Spencer Franklin Smith that he is comfortably situated.
Norm Crane is now on the staff of Babies' Hospital, New York city, whither he commutes from Mahopac. Babies, Just Babies.
Wrung from him by the need for tickets to the Yale game, these facts appear about Lew Dettenborn (woodworking), that the wood is worked at 307 Sheldon St., in Hartford, Conn., and that he lives at 21 Ardmore Road, West Hartford. Now let's all us boys send Lew a nice Christmas present.
Al Crampton is living at 20 Leslie Road, Auburndale, Mass. We reported that he became bond trader for Edward H. Smith & Co. after Lee Higginson folded.
At 48 Washington St., Endicott, N. Y., there is located a store—whose, we don't know. But the manager is that shrewd old trader Earl Fredericks, who lives at 1506 Tracy St. in the same fair city.
That fellow that was at the reunion, Bob Hight, tells us that his new way of making a living is as factory sales representative for Chevrolet in Maine. His business address is 410 Chapman Building, Portland, but he lives in Augusta, 85 Green St., which is just a short trolley ride.
Believe it or not, after a silence of many moons, Ozzy Siegfried has made minor disclosures about himself: that he is in the contracting business in Buffalo, 423 Brisbane Building, and lives on Roberts Road, R.F.D., Hamburg, N. Y.
Tobin won't stay put. We put him away on the Jordan Marsh staff in Boston, and forgot about him. Now he turns up in San Antonio, Texas, as with Joske Stores. It appears that his employer there is an affiliate of Jordan Marsh in Boston, for whom he has been working. He expects to be in Texas, poor fellow, for two years. He can have it.
Vice-President John Wood of B. Altman, notions and dry goods, sth Ave., Noo Yawk, has moved to 60 Gramercy Park.
Roger Bacon is now engaged as science teacher in North Quincy High School, Quincy, Mass., resident at 17 Greenleaf St.
The rise of loyalty to Old Dartmouth is too thrilling when the football applications go in. Almost all of this dull recital of names, places, and occupations has been winnowed by Miss Ford's staff from such applications.
Kris Kristeller appears to have shifted his legal activities to 393 Seventh Ave., New York, although he continues to live in White Plains.
The handful of us who went to the Penn game in Philadelphia were given abominable seats high up in the stands, behind posts, etc. All save one, Old Manager Kilmarx, who sat as pretty as you please right smack on the fifty—in a box. And they laughed when he said he had made Rake and Roll.
Our contemplative circle in Boston assembled for an exchange of ideas on the night before the Harvard game, and we have several witnesses to say that 01' Marse Andy Marshall retains the gift for arranging parties where one can take his hair down. As recently, this conversazione was held in the University Club, and was enjoyed by these turfmen: Hal Burnham, Phil Threshie, Ted Dyer, Haskell Cohn, Hal Green, Andy Marshall, Jim Hamilton, Fran Leland, Dick Stetson, Mike Adams, Carroll Dwight, Russ Putney, Charlie Earle, Ralph Totman, Ray Atwood, Joe Perkins, Cedric Porter, Ray Rambach, Bud Winkler, Bill Gallagher, Nick Carter, George Stanley, Len Morrissey, Al Crampton, Jack Aborn, Dick Wills, Lee (1920), and Ken Harvey (1924).
Anyone who corresponds much with Treasurer Miner knows what a curious brand of chirography is his, and on that ground we explain the printer's mistake in the class bills (which doubtless you have all paid—what, haven't?) which changes Brookside Ave., in Ridgewood (N. J.) to BROADSIDE Ave. There is a joke in this, but our wits were never much.
Attorney Ulysse Auger, New Bedford's Choate, is the father of a son born in midOctober.
Secretary, 2700 Que St., N. W., Washington, D. C.
