Class of 1920
If bigger and better class dinners are any indication of better times we are well around the corner. SHERRY BAKETEL reports the best New York class dinner in several years. It was held in the Dartmouth Club, and there were somewhere between 20 and 25 there. Among the names Sherry recalls are those of: DUKE BELLEN, JERRY STONE, Doc STICKNEY, AL HAAS, TOM CARPENTER, DEAN TRAVIS, NED PEARSON, JACK MAYER, DICK CHARLOCK, BEARDSLEY FOSTER, HAL CLARK, GINGER BRUCE, BILL SHEA, 808 MORSE, JIM CHILCOTT, TOM DAVIDSON, CHARLIE MCGOUGHRAN, BILL FUCUET, ED MALING, 808 WINTER, LES WILLARD, NORM RICHARDSON, BILL MEZGER. Sherry reports that in the excitement of the occasion several joined the Club and promised faithfully to attend all future suppers or dinners. Now there are several names in this group that were very familiar ten or fifteen years ago, but we haven't seen much of them recently in the column and we'd like to. What are you doing Duke, Tom, Ned, and Dean?
Here's a belated bit of news from GENE FISKE, down in Mt. Vernon, N. Y. He's in politics and stepping along fast. Was county supervisor in 1931, and was later appointed to the office of city comptroller, a position which he still held on last reports. He is still single.
Speaking of being single, JOHN FELLI surprised the Secretary by dropping in on New Year's Day with his bride of two weeks. As is generally known, John is treasurer of some five aviation companies headed by North American Aviation Corp., with headquarters in the General Motors Building in New York.
SIG SIGLER, reported "lost" not so long ago, has turned up in Leesburg, Va., where he is connected with the Leesburg Laundry, an industry with which he has been connected most of the time since graduation.
BILL DURKEE has been promoted to the vice-presidency of the Shell Union Oil Company, New York. He is living in Bronxville, and has been an oil man for a number of years CHARLIE MILLS is with the credit department of the Regional Agricultural Credit Corp. of Minneapolis. . . . . HOWARD PULLEN, who back in 1925, was a chemist, is now divisional accountant for Grand Trunk Western Railroad Company with headquarters at Battle Creeks Mich Marcia Bill SUNDERLAND wasborn November 21, 1933, in Omaha BILL MEZGER, class dinner attendant, IS manager of the municipal bond department for Graham, Parsons & Cos., New York.
Our numerous appeals for letters have not been as fruitful as the length of this column might indicate. Most of these little bits of news have come through the Alumni Records Office, without whose help no class secretary could survive. We thank them, but we'll thank you more for just one good letter about yourself and the classmates you regularly see.
Secretary, 774 Great Plain Ave., Needham, Mass.
