Class of 1924
With icicles in their eyes, some fifty of the more hardy souls either at the annual Dartmouth dinner in Boston or otherwise have come forth to announce their attentions to Luit, of attending the Tenth next June. Added to the excellent organizing work which he has accomplished, the administration gave impetus by cutting down the length of the Commencement festivities a whole day, so that by arriving Friday night and staying through Monday noon, none of the College program will be missed.
Bob Morgan acted as scribe for the Boston gathering and after some hunting discovered two small pieces of paper to write down the names of those present: Henry Hudson, Annie Jenkins, Putty Blodgett, Ted Learnard, Ken Weisiger, Brad Hersey, Stan Lyon, Win Farnsworth, Don Wilbur, Ralph Stuart, Walt Barnard, Ev Baker, Bob Benjamin, Dana Bent, Hank Hartshorn, Luit Luitwieler, and Ed Jenkins.
Putty has given up the brokerage business, rented himself a store, hired a famous gunsmith, and set up a gun shop on Federal St., Boston. Our next-door neighbor (in columns) says his brother is doing well and considerably elated over the change of professions.
Bob Morgan allows that a large stork brought a small daughter, Martha, to the Morgan household on August 20, 1933.
Ken Harvey calls attention to the arrival in Boston of Fred McKenzie as chief speaker at the Life Insurance Council's Convention the last of January, representing the Central Hanover Trust Co. Also the fact that he was extremely nervous before the speech because Ken held back a drink on him before the scheduled talk. Something regarding a Memphis insurance meeting and a hair-raising escape therefrom by the same speaker was appended to Ken's letter.

"THE GRANT STORES."
Otie Jackson has been hustling around Cincinnati, lining up reunion prospects, and reports that Jim Hutton and Louis Ireton are both set. On a trip to Columbus he found George Babcock inclined and his wife strong for the idea. Hal Cowley faces his busiest season about that time of year, and feels certain he can't make it.
Art Graham, working Buffalo, reports good progress. One Buffaloite all these years according to the records, Bill Fredericks, Art says is a Duluth resident, living at 4102 East Superior St.
Keep your eye open for later reports via a 24 Hour Notice soon to be issued.
Bob Strong came to Worcester in a hurry about two weeks ago, to line up Worcester Academy candidates. He has already made some arrangements in Hanover that will insure us even a more perfect three-day sojourn in June.
Secretary, 7 Harvard St., Worcester, Mass.
