CLASS OF 1924

Ken Davis and Ms father have formed the company of E. L. and K. W. Davis, general agents, 1016 Amoskeag Building, Manchester, N. H., and will handle all the insurance for the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Cos. within the state.

Any regular or stray reader of this column who has any information on Connie Rebman will receive both the thanks of the scribe and the Alumni Office for speaking up. Both his father and father-in-law are unable to furnish any idea as to his whereabouts. Connie, when last heard of, occupied an executive position in Macy's, New York.

Ed Streater has deserted the wilds of Wisconsin for Winona, Minn., though still in the same lumber business.

We now have the example of the welltrained 24-hour-notice reader. Cleve Poole contributed to last month's column via an old questionnaire and two weeks later kicked through with the latest one. (By the way what happened to your answer?) Cleve reports that Jim Newton has deserted Worcester for the New Bedford Mass., StandardMercury, and for Greg Belcher's benefit has not been a hobo since a winter in the Canadian woods in 1927. "However, Jim did go to Europe on a two months' leave and stayed six months. He was jostled in a crowd, so forced to take a walking tour of Ireland. His experiences are worth an evening of solid conversation. He really saw Europe from sunrise to sunset. iYank Harrington is doing well and during the last year acquired a new house, a new car and a new baby (his third). He works legal problems in the insurance business, thereby denying a good lawyer to the general public."

Second letter of the month comes from Newc Newcomb. "Your 24 Hour Notice at hand. Since I was the only one in the class that didn't rate a headline it looks as though I'd have to fill this in as a measure of preserving my self-indulgence. Still what chance for a headline has anyone who hasn't either traveled or begotten himself a few kids, etc., in such high-powered company. Perhaps I might strike a new note by reporting my advent into the sport of indoor polo. That's one field that ought to be covered. You might spread that around on your minutes. Beyond that I can only add that I'm still engaged in the art of pork packing for the Lake Erie Provision Cos. (Cleveland), purveyor of Meadowlark meat products. But I'm still in the dark concerning the exact relationship that could possibly exist between a meadowlark and a hog. '

"It begins to look as though my only chance for recognition lies in the fact that I have not only managed to locate Ray Shane for you at 456 6th St., Richmond, Cal., but have actually had some letters from him, enclosing asked-for photographs of his charming auburn-haired wife and lovely baby daughter, Peggy. I think Coyle must have drowned in a stein of Berlin beer. At least his anticipated letter is two years later than usual. If any '24 men get through Cleveland, tell them to drop in at one of our noon-day gatherings at the Statler every Saturday. Jim Rutherford stopped in one week-end. He's working in Detroit now, but I can't remember whether he was in the class of '24 or 'Bl. Hope to see you, if at all able at the 10th."

Ted Goddard of South Mass. and the Packard phaeton with red wheels has settled in New Rochelle, 32 Old Orchard Rd. "The '24 Hour Notice prompts me to bring my own history up to date. In November after a nice long vacation I started to work again helping to handle rates and costs for the Motor Haulage Cos. of Brooklyn, N. Y. Believe me, truck drivers may not rate socially but they do make money. How I wish I were driving a truck instead of just figuring up how much the company loses. If you have to move anything from boilers to bath powder, just let us know and we'll give you a rate on it. As for the family, the second daughter was born Christmas night, for which doubtful distinction she got the name Carol Jean. 1931 may not have been much of a year for the pocketbook, but it certainly established the family—Marion Lee in January and Carol in December. Have been to a couple of '24 class suppers in New York, but the attendance was poor, to say the least, and as far as I know they have died a natural death. Bill Fawcett used to be pretty regular, but since he got married he has other places to go for supper—and I can't blame him."

Since his return to this country Dave Kubins has been awarded the Henry O. Avery prize for the best piece of small sculpture by a living artist under 30, in the 47th Annual Exhibition of the Architectural League of New York. This was shown the first two weeks in March in New York.

George Booth is pursuing the insurance business in Detroit, with offices at 724 Book Building, and home in Bloomfield Hills.
