Class of 1924
If you are a secretary of anything, don't ever move from one house to another. Such things as clearly addressed, properly stamped envelopes containing reports get lost in a shuffle which may last for a full thirty days. The following was ready for the October issue.
Participation of these class notes in the NRA campaign is hereby established. The column will be shorter, thinner, and brief for this month at least, to denote the well known hibernating instincts of all members, and the consequent lack of news.
The California Gold Gate Squeaks carries a note that Dr. Tom Flint spent several months on the high seas, returning to San Francisco the latter part of June. Larry Hewes has switched firms, but is still chasing the extinct bond buying for Mitchum, Tully & Co. of the same city. He lives in Menlo Park, 8 Hobart St.
Dick Dickinson, wielder of the Winchelllike pen, now has a second son, Perry Holbrook, who joined Mike, now two and a half, on August 13. Dick takes no chances with his writing, carefully printing out Perry lest it be read Percy.
That world traveler, Octavio Hecht, picked out Havana for a business trip the day the strike broke out preceding Machado's "abdication." Bottles for Mr. Bacardi of rum fame took him there. Of course the Owens Illinois Glass Co., his employer in Toledo, hasn't much to do these days, but Ockie admits beer helped.
Sam Stickney, the insurance maestro, has moved over to New England Mutual, about one-sixth of the way up the Empire State Building.
Gillette's gift to the Straits Settlements for several years, handsome Henry Hudson, gave up bachelorhood on June 17 last. He was married to Winifred Norton May, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Alberto Norton, at Bedford, N. H.
Below you'll get an idea of how they grow in Hanover. The gentlemen in company of the rabbit is Peter Robinson, born in July, 1932, son of Robin Robinson, Math professor.
Hobey Holbrook, long connected with private schools in California and Catalina Island, is head of a new school opened this fall at Bonita, Calif., known as the Bonita School.
Should there by chance be a stray member who has a little ink left in his pen, the writer will be very glad to give space to his commonplace doings perhaps exclusively in the November issue, who knows?
FOR NOVEMBER
The Golden Gate Squeaks announces that Leon Rothschild made a stop-over in San Francisco this summer on a coastwise steamer vacation and that George Traver took the wind out of the secretary of the Northern California Alumni Association by phoning from a pay station in Frisco seeking snake venom.
We are not certain how many years ago it was, but Sandy Campbell went to Antioch, Syria, somewhere around 1928 or '29, and a week ago showed up in one of Worcester's "most brilliant" night clubs with Mrs. Campbell, celebrating his return. He is teaching in Wellesley until January, and will return to Antioch again to dig some more ruins. While on that subject, Charlie Altman has also turned archaeologist and is leaving as field assistant to the University of Chicago Expedition in Iraq. Charlie thinks it may help his architectural leanings to dig up a few homesteads and palaces of Assyrian kings. He looks upon it as a perfectly swell job for the next eight months.
Don Gray recently announced his marriage to Miss Sally Miles of Norwalk, Conn., on October 7.
Beevo Beers has returned from the tropics for the football season or otherwise, and has domiciled himself at 16 Wiley Road, Belmont.
Herb Melleney has moved up to 5 Seeley Place, Scarsdale, N. Y.
Ken Harvey, late of the leather tanning industry, has now turned back to insurance and is with the Massachusetts Mutual Life at 31 Milk St., Boston. He still lives at 20 Clinton St., Woburn, Mass.
Ed Jones, world traveler and now of Macy's, and Miss Jane B. Stetson of Philadelphia were married on July 22 at Larchmont.
Henry Stevenson is working for the New Jersey Bell Telephone Company and living at 239 Spring St., Red Bank.
It is now possible to see our way clear to concoct enough news for December, and will therefore save some in case the starving gets too intense.
Peter Robinson Born July, 1932. Son of Robin Robinson '24.
Secretary, 12 Haviland St., Worcester, Mass
