Class of 1924
Anything appearing in the next two issues under this heading will have more or less bearing on Reunion. With the first publicity now in your hands, you have a fair idea of the record number of classmates returning and the excellent plans which Luit has laid down to date. Enthusiasm fortunately has been wide-spread, and there's many a guarded nickel taking punishment in solitary confinement, not to reach circulation until the 15th of June.
Newc Newcomb, accepting the captaincy of the Cleveland district, plucked a string that should arouse many a distant resident.
"I got a much bigger kick out of seeingHanover again last spring at the secretaries' meeting than I believed possible. Ihad not been back there since graduation,and despite the changes that had takenplace there, I couldn't quell a strong feeling in me that I was 'home' again. I therefore can't help but join in a movement togive others in our class the same thrill atthe occasion of our Triumphant Tenth."
Ash Castle, Los Angeles Biltmore manager, accepted a similar post for those in his vicinity, with similar enthusiasm, hoping for a few valiant reunioners with the turn to better business. Ed Jones, worldwide traveler, arrived in Los Angeles late this winter either for a few months or for good, according to Ash.
Larry Hewes, north a bit in San Francisco, has signed up with the Federal Land Bank. Larry, Mrs. Hewes, and Larry 111, aged seven months, live at 84 Menlo Park, Berkeley.
One of Luit's solicitous reunion letters reached Jerry Glauber, hot-footing it across the country, at Toledo. If the men's hat store chain he represents allows him to sit still a minute he promises to make Hanover.
Another traveler caught en route more than once is Vim Heegaard. His flour-selling efforts have caried him twice to Boston since the first of the year, and he may come East again before Reunion. Other waypoints include New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh. Lyme Thompson and Bill Buchanan are working the Western territory outside of Chicago for him.
Rudi Haerle regards the cash position with some trembling in terms of a trip East. For the past year he has been with the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Cos. in Indianapolis, giving up the wholesale drygoods business that has occupied him since graduation. In the meantime he has added both to his stein and gun collections.
Stan Lonsdale, voluminously reporting progress with candidates in the Connecticut territory, bursts over on the subject of Shanty Shane—"That spot is the mosta ofthe besta. In my opinion it was one of thehigh spots of the last party. Shanty Shaneforever—sez I. Why not have a hum, by theway, at the four corners of the campus, withvarious classes taking part? Some fun, andthis year will be more, for most of us willneed some fun to forget our several yearsof difficulties."
