Class of 1924
Pinky Booth, Worcester's leading bachelor, took first honors again in the Boy Scout organization when he was re-elected president of the Worcester Area Council. He was able to report increased activities at the end of his first term on a curtailed budget, and a year's operation without a deficit. Two nights before the Harvard game, all Worcester precedents collapsed when the Harvard and Dartmouth Clubs staged a joint pow-wow. Pinky saw to it that more Dartmouth than Harvard residents attended, and yours truly helped to see that all contests of brain and brawn were won by Dartmouth.
Stan and Mrs. Lonsdale spent a week or more in Hanover around the time of the Bates game. Bob Hayes hiked himself up for the same affair in his new flivver eight from Providence. Dave Perry and Ted Learnard also were on deck.
Plus the above, the Harvard game brought forth Stu Dunham, who now lives in West Newton and who looks just about as of '24 except for a moustache; the Tropic Triumvirate, Bud Seavey, husky as ever including voice, Bevo Beers on a sabbatical, and Win Nazro, all from Honduras and the United Fruit Company; Tup Tupper; Dick and Mrs. Ludwig, of hotel fame—locale now Presque Isle, Me.; Ken Harvey; Bert and Mrs. Perry; Stan and Mrs. Lyon; George Prager; Arnie Jenkins; Brad Hersey; Parker Jackson and unquestionably others. Never have class seating arrangements put so few of the boys together. The night before, the gang turned out some thirty strong at the Lenox for a class supper. Though the Boston correspondent hasn't yet kicked through with the list, several new "old-timers" showed up—Ted Low for one.
In spite of big plans for a get-together after the Yale game, Red Holbrook, part sponsor, couldn't be found by this column's New Haven correspondent. Again the seating arrangement probably threw the observer off the scent. Spotted and accounted for were Spider Martin, Waterbury journalist; Hal Brandt, Long Island wholesale food purveyor; Dave Solly, Passaic mathematician; Stan Lonsdale; Prenny Gallup; Jeff Adams, now of Wellesley Hills, Mass.; Paul Synnott, still marching with Time-, Pete Wheatley, Brockton lawyer; Al Robinson, Hartford and insurance; Dan Pingree, insurance statistician of Providence; Paul Wright, gentleman farmer; and Bob Hayes.
Ott Grauer, Buffalo's book barterer, expected to go to Germany this past summer, according to Coffin, who mentioned it a month ago, and who said Ott had been busy earlier, embroidering swastikas on his tops and shorts in case of a showdown with Hitler. Alternate motive for the trip (other than books), relief from soda fountains serving 3.2.
Bob and Peirce Knott, M.D.'s, have a twin shingle outside 226 Davidson Bldg., Sioux City, la. Johnny Townes is with the Pontiac Engraving and Electrotype Co. of Chicago and living in Evanston, 847 Judson Ave. Al Pearl doctors in Highwood and lives at 1523 Sumac Rd., Highland Park, Ill. After hiding in the Kentucky hills for six years, Bub Tice has come out in the open and jumped the river into Cincinnati to become a buyer for John Shillito Co. Bill Stopford shows up once more in Montclair, 205 Christopher St., after Arizona ranching for the past few years. Roily Taylor, Chicopee resident, is selling for Price & Lee of New Haven. Harry Cereghino, from the three words, sounds as though he was a lawyer with Hoit, Rose, & Troster, 74 Trinity Place, New York City.
John Proctor, long a Florida resident, now teaches at Coburn School, Miami Beach.
Mike Watkins has deserted the Cleveland headquarters of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Cos. and gone to the Chicago office, with a home address of 422 Abbottsford Rd., Kenilworth, Ill.
Art Adams left Choate School this fall for Utica Country Day School at New Hartford, N. Y. He gets back to Utica each night—2B2l Leibel Place.
Dr. Howard Clark has moved in from Howard Lake, Minn., to the University Hospital, Minneapolis, as physician and surgeon there.
Sessions number one and two are now history. First plans for the Terrific Tenth are under way. You may be called on to drum up some trade among prospects. Luit is organizing the whole class on an army scale with a good-sized number of lieutenants. It won't be a minute too soon to sound out every classmate, when you get the first word.
Secretary, 12 Haviland St., Worcester, Mass.
