Class of 1924
Red Holbrook covered Worcester a few weeks ago on one of his rounds of industrial firms who might be potential advertisers in a McGraw Hill trade publication. The open winter and a lost gasoline cap somewhat depressed him, with his annual February 22 Mount Washington climb less than a month away. Somewhere is written his reminder that Bob Hall, Larchmont neighbor, turned father the first week in January. Nothing in the way of '24 luncheons or get-togethers have been held in New York so far this season, according to Red.
"Squeaks from the Golden Gate," published by the Dartmouth Association of Northern California, acknowledging with uncommon California generosity a bulletin issued by Southern California Alumni Association, mentions the arrival of Johnnie Barlow in Los Angeles.
Hobey Holbrook also in that vicinity teaches at the Midland Ranch School, Los Olivos, Calif.
The erstwhile Proctor and Gamble district manager of Pittsburgh and Detroit, Wylie Jones, has now moved to Charlotte, N. C., to build up sales in that quarter. His home is at 2152 Malvern Road, and his office at 1416 Johnston Building, Charlotte. While on the subject of Ivory Soap and affiliates, Bert Perry, who does the Jones honors in this section of Massachusetts, got "pretty het up" in Worcester recently, getting all stores to agree on prices for a big sales push of P & G products.
Don Wilbur presents a new Boston business address—4s9 Park Square Bldg. New or additional information on the Greater Boston gang seems to be missing for lack of any class pow-wows there as well as New York. The forthcoming annual alumni meetings may offer something.
Two of the boys, however, kicked through, Ted Learnard and Warren Hollis.
"Not much to report for interest. Thingsare going along quietly, and as well ascould be expected during these times. Thegrippe has just paid our family a visit,putting us all in bed at one time or another for the past two weeks. It has givenme a good chance to clean up a few outstanding obligations or correspondence,and this is one of them.
"Stan Lyon is becoming quite a squashplayer—now playing on the B team ofthe Newton Center Squash Club. DavePerry is running a badminton club inWeston (Lyon—in Worcester recently—sayshe has warned Perry more than once thatthis is a pansy game—Ed.) and has had sucha turnout that they had to limit the clubmembers or get more time to play, withthe result that they did both and are stillcrowded. He throws a mean racquet himself.
"Hookey Hagenbuckle has stopped inthese parts a few limes lately, and fromhearsay seems to be thriving on the samething in Andover, although I haven't seenhim. Reports from the north side of thecity bear rumors of Luitwieler and Harvey,who is now working in his father-in-law'sleather tannery in Winchester, both beingwell and happy.
"Sincerely
TED."

"Thanks for the paragraph in the recent24-Hour Notice, but I must advise youthat you have made a slight error of noimportance except to some of the classwho might think we were raising a familyof giants, as our spn is six years old insteadof three and one-half. See Walt Barnardand Henry Hudson occasionally, as theyare both trying to sell me insurance. Notso long ago Jan Janvrin of Hampton Falls,N. H., was in. He and his brother havetaken over their father's lumber business.
"WARREN HOLLIS."
Frank Karslake took the center of the 24-Hour Notice return sheet to write the following:
"Now represent the Forbes Lithographing Co., 1000 Wrigley Bldg., Chicago, andam announcing the arrival of twelve-pound William Gale last month. Thismakes two boys now, and as Donald Kingweighed nine pounds at birth some sortof poundage average record may be in theoffing."
All of which seems like a good place to announce that in the middle-weight division has appeared Sue Spaulding, born January 11, who started off the chart at seven and a half pounds.
Orchids (or whatever you wish, Stan) to Stan Miner '22 for stepping out of his robes as a Twenty-Twoter to furnish a little low-down on four of the Jersey and New York '24 tribe. Don Hull is an M.D., married to Dorothy Kay of Morgantown, W. Va.—has two children Nancy, three, and David Edwards, six months. Is a physician by trade, but a sketcher of portraits and painter of scenery as a hobby. Does well at both. He lives in Ridgewood, where he practices.
Phil Van Huyck is in the general in- surance business in New York, married, and the father of two boys, one about a year and the other about a week old.
Dough Graham is in business in New York as vice-president of Wright and Graham, wholesaling cotton goods, silk ribbon, and vanilla beans, and is the father of a boy, Robert, four months old.
Doug Craig is an actuary with the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. in New York, married and the father of a daughter, Caroline, about eight months of age.
Late in the summer Bob Branson left Grand Rapids for his home in Colorado, then started East again for Hanover, with the idea of brushing up on Spanish to take examinations for the consular service. He has decided now to wait until next year, and in the meantime has gone to work for Ted Goddard, who operates a Ford and Lincoln agency in New Rochelle. He feels pretty good, since with no cars coming through he sold three in his first week with Ted.
