Class of 1924
Otie Jackson writes from 4019 Gilmore Ave., Cincinnati, that he hasn't moved, had any more children, traveled, or seen any more Dartmouth men. If this was not a tough enough existence, he was recently selected as secretary of the Diocesan Convention, which, according to Otie, means a certain amount of slave work which other prospects had the courage to refuse. Along with the help of some other Dartmouth men, Otie is working with the County Probation Department in a section of the city where there is much unemployment, dissatisfaction, and juvenile delinquency, and all the things which go with poverty when poverty is accompanied by lack of culture and lack of spiritual foundations, as he puts it. Lou Ireton, Otie reports, has been an excellent and faithful organizer to rally the boys together for different Dartmouth occasions.

"Probably my not having written is indictative of the dullness of my existence inArdmore. However, 1 find the practice oflaw interesting, but less remunerative asweeks pass by. While the number of clientsand the volume of work increased greatly,the income therefrom seems to have beenreduced in the same proportion. I am looking forward to a great time during theTerrific Tenth reunion, which will rollaround before any of us realize it.
"Although I've been to Hanover everysummer since 1929, I've seen very few 1924men. While in New York to see the Purdue-New York University game last fall, Isaw Bill Hatch and Joe Egolf at the Dartmouth Club for a few minutes. (Joe, by theway, has taken a big interest in TammanyHall affairs—Ed.) There are very few '24men in Philadelphia. Chinny Voorhis hasbeen here for almost two years, living atthe Penn Athletic Club, but none of us seehim very often. Butts Crouter and DoctorHarry Weaver, specializing in eye, ear,nose, and throat work in Philadelphia anddoing well; were at the Dartmouth Clubsmoker on the night preceding the Penngame. At the Army-Navy game in Philadelphia, last fall, I saw Don Coyle, whowas visiting this country from Berlin, Germany. The good German beer and thebanking business seem to have done himno harm.
"Last summer, while in Pittsburgh onbusiness, I saw Shirley Austin for a fewminutes while he was watching a broker'sboard. Inasmuch as the market on that daywas quite active, we had little chance totalk.

"The holiday fireworks have subsidedenough to permit fulfilling a delayed intention of filling this sheet. Since the lasteffort I have taken over a new job for theN. J. Bell Telephone, and now guide thedestinies of the Elizabeth District. Also,taking advantage of said company's fiveday week, I have gone rural—acquiring anold farm house on the outskirts of Plainfield, where gentle-eyed bovines peer wistfully over the fence.
"The offer of Gin Fizz for the mascot forthe Tenth is withdrawn. He is now chasing celestial cats and his place is partiallyfilled with a young lady Sealy answeringto the name of Julep. As an extensivemotherhood, calculated to augment thefamily fortunes, is planned for her, 1 donot wish to let her become acquaintedwith the heterogenous canine populationof Hanover. A black tomcat namedJamaica, say that out loud, completes themenagerie.
"Have seen very few '24 men lately, lastheard from Norm Rosie from Buffalo. Iwant to protest to the Washington authorities for permitting Ahlquist to liquidatebanks. The last time he liquidated anything for me he got both the date and theliquid.
"Perhaps the next time will be moreinformative and coherent.
