Class of 1924

By the next issue, more information may be available on the sudden death of Richard M. Wagner at Valentine, Neb., on October 19, who was accidentally killed while duck hunting.

The games at Hanover this fall have not been overdrawing their quota of the class, or else they are much more split up under the present seating plan. Ken Harvey, just about distinguishable under an outside layer of well-soaked fur, Brad Hersey, Sandy McClintock, and your correspondent got to Hanover for the Norwich game. A move in any direction other than sitting tight (or sober) meant certain drowning. Not a '24 visiting fireman came into this department's line of vision at the Virginia game. The "in urbe's"—Robin Robinson, Bob Strong, Doc Sycamore (called out for X-ray duty in the third quarter), and Ives Atherton were scattered in various sections of the stand.

RED NEWELL HOME

Red Newell made the Lonsdales in Bridgeport, Conn., stopping point number two after returning from Canton, China, on furlough and visiting at home. The three of them, Red still going strong in the single column, spent the Harvard game week-end as guests of the Ken Harveys, on which occasion Red had his first taste of the Big Green at the Harvard game. He was in Hanover with Stan the following week and on deck at New Haven the next Saturday. The Boston gang turned out strong for the Harvard game according to all reports, with Howard Booth, a few hours home from eight weeks in England, among them.

The loving-cup interim at the Yale game turned up Ed Jones, Ed Spargo, Prenny Gallup, Ken Harvey, Stan and Red, Norm Everett, Tup Tupper, Whit Gowrie, Spider Martin, Bob Hayes, Bob Benjamin, Ray Hopkins, Dave Perry, Johnny Woodbridge, Hal Springborn, Jim Gray, Brad Hersey, Mony Monahan, and Bill Buchanan.

The Third Canto of the annual Lonsdale Beer Party preceded this seemingly lost cause at New Haven (although it was agreed among us that the team lost not because its members did not capitalize on their sound training). Stan reports this stem-winder of a prelude brought forth 39, including one Yale man and the first six of those named in the last paragraph. Gallup immediately on arrival, unquestionably at ease with the world from an illustrated newspaper tribute under Bridgeport Personalities and by the recent birth of his third son, went out to survey the Lonsdales' new country estate. His first discovery was an imposing terrace, down the face of which he had just rapidly descended. No broken bones, one short run, no hindrance, before the opening of the first inning.

Ed Jones, the class adventurer who hopped from jungle Africa to the bond business and tennis heights in Shanghai, and thence back to Macy's, is now the professional at a Westchester squash and tennis club, but about to return to Palm Springs, Calif., for another winter of furthering the tennis aspirations of Garbo, Crawford, at al. We have a promise of more gory details on this winter siesta of Ed's.

Taking strong sides on a current Dartmouth topic has spread to '24. Red Maloney and Fred Shaneman upon leaving reunion in June, stirred to the wallet over the desecration of the Library walls by the Orozco Frescos, started a fund with one buck apiece to provide sufficient money to erase same. To the sender Stan Lyon, they expressed disappointment that all of '24 could not have visited the spot in a body, which would thus have given a tremendous impetus to the new fund.

Back from Hitler's locale has come Don Coyle, to continue in New York with the Bankers Trust Co., 100 Broadway.

Harry Wolfe, one of the Washington, D. C., non-governmentals, who serves S. Kaun Sons Co., as merchandise manager, is living at Chevy Chase, Md., 4610 Nottingham Drive.

Servel Refrigerators moved an office a little nearer Red Hall in Scarsdale recently. If too tired to go all the way into New York, Red can drop in at 144 Grand St., White Plains.

Charlie Hammond, more recently in New York and Texas, has a Columbus, Ohio, address—2041 East 5th Ave.

The Berkshire Fine Spinning Associates, 271 Church St., New York, continue to hold in good standing the sales services of Bert Manley, late of Passaic and now of 108 Inwood Ave., Montclair, N. J.

Buffalo's aviation builder, Chuck Miller, reports a new address—86 Tillinghast Place.

Introducing the sales manager of the Old Mill Paper Products Corp., Skillman Ave., Long Island City, N. Y.Hank Stevens, long with Menasha Paper Products Co. Hank hikes back across the river to get home to the Fairways, Wynnewood Rd., Pelham Manor, N. Y. While we're up that way, Red Holbrook has moved from Overbrook Terrace to 2 Thompson Place, Larchmont. Did you take that swell garden and your New Hampshire room with you, Red?

Fran Brown has been made editor of the Journal Press, Moosup, Conn.

Joe McKoan, onetime lumber dealer, has built up an imposing array of fiery red trucks delivering McKoan's Range Oil from 263 Grafton St., Worcester, Mass.

Syd Fish, reporting for the Times, has shifted his residence to 11 West 69th St., New York City.

Shrimp Thornton, broker and business mate of Joe Butler's, lives on Warner Road, Youngstown, Ohio. Both Shrimp and Joe were coming East to reunion, but, as one or two have written, Joe's father died just a week before. Although this column is late reporting it, the class joins those members who individually extended their sympathies.

Secretary 12 Haviland St., Worcester, Mass.
