Class of 1922
The first request for the class film has come from Hal Clark, who proposes to give a show in Springfield soon.
Oscar Rice (46 Lawton Rd., Needham, Mass.) has communicated with us in the pellucid prose that was standard equipment for The Dartmouth board at one time. Unless memory fails, Oscar's letter has been twelve years in preparation. What roused him from his sleep was the challenge that Hanlon issued recently. Oscar speaks blithely of a 72 and the two 73's that he shot on recent week-ends.
Gunny Gunnison also infests Needham and labors in Boston for the Spaulding Fibre Company. The Gunnisons have one daughter. Don Sweet and Jimmie Austin frequently play the Rice-Gunnison team at bridge.
More news gleaned from the Rice letter is that Gubby McDermott has bought a textile mill in Moodus, Conn., and now lives there managing the mill. Oscar spent ten days in Hanover this summer.
Francis Collins is employed in Naugatuck, Conn., by the U. S. Rubber Company as an engineer.
Bugs Crosby is living in Los Angeles at 3721 West 59th Place.
Ivan M. Young, the Mad Musician, has told us that he is living in Freeport, L. I. (586 South Ocean Ave.) and is employed by John Pisicano, 393 Eighth Ave., New York City, a fish merchant.
Wesley Nutten is practicing law in 1232 Rowan Bldg., Los Angeles, and lives at 1914 Fairburn Ave., Los Angeles. His summer address is 204 Lido Nord, Newport Beach, Calif.
Carl Davis (Macy's) spent several weekends in Falmouth, Mass., this summer in close cahoots with Tom Carpenter, who came up from Florida with his three children to spend the summer. Tom called on your scribe in Falmouth, but unfortunately I was out.
I had dinner with the Dick Stetsons in Boston recently and found the bland physician in despair over the way things were going. I could have closed my eyes and thought I was listening to Mark Sullivan.
I spent three delightful days with the Wests in Hanover in August.
Al Acker (3010 Essex Rd., Cleveland Heights, Ohio) avers the dinner was two hours late for him the day the class paper came. This is his first communication with your amanuensis since graduation. For the past eight years he has been employed by General Motors. He is married but makes 110 mention of offspring. He makes the further statement, doubtless true, that he is not yet a millionaire.
Bill Shirley tells us that Harvie Zuckerman is one of the leaders in the Oxford Groups.
Bill Bullen will now be located more or less permanently in Boston and he has rented a house in West Newton. Hitherto he has spent most of his time in Hodge, La., where the mills of the Advance Bag & Paper Company are located. The Company's principal office is in Boston. Bill reports with pride the birth on July 12 of Jed Wentworth Bullen, 2d, which makes two boys in that household, since Wilbur Warren Jr. was born in December, 1930.
The Bob Booths spent July in Germany. They report the birth of their second son, Alan Rundlett Booth, on March 20.
Elmer Ardiff sent tidings too late to be included in the Twoter. He continues to serve in the New England Tel. & Tel. in Boston and to live in Watertown.
Mead Stewart writes that he is recovering from a serious surgical operation on his stomach. He continues to live in Charleston, W. Va., and is associated with the Motor Car Supplies Company. The Stewarts have three children (particulars not furnished).
Tom Carpenter has been elected to the school board of his Florida county as a Democrat.
Nick Carter reports that he is still with the Hutchinson Lumber Company in Lynn, and that he is socially, perhaps too closely, affiliated with Bill Bullen.
Troyer Anderson quite surprised us by a letter which came too late for inclusion in the Twoter. He will be at Swarthmore again this year. The Andersons spent the summer in Hanover, and your spy saw Troyer several times on the tennis courts looking very fit. He showed his son Kenneth (6) the Orozco frescoes in the library. The child, after looking at the walls, drew close to his mother and said with hope, if not with complete assurance, "They won't hurt me, will they, mother?They're only pictures."
On June 24, Janet Allen, second daughter of the Ned Aliens, made her appearance.
Loosh Sherman has become so exercised over the attitude of the rest of us toward brokers that he is about to write letters to the papers.
Secretary, Old P. O. Bldg., New York
