Class of 1924

Jim Newton jumped right back onto the front page of the Worcester Telegramand Gazette, his one-time employer, on February 9. He and a companion from Cambridge, Mass., where he now lives, were somewhat badly injured at Lake Placid, when their two-man bobsled jumped the track on the Mt. Von Hoevenberg bob lun. They had completed what appeared to be the fastest time ever made on the upper reaches of the run, and traveling at 70 miles an hour hit the famous Whiteface Curve too fast to hold the track. Jim was brakeman and suffered a bad cheek gash and other bruises. He announced to reporters that they would race anyway in the Olympic tryouts to be held the following week-end, although their sled was completely demolished. Before going to New Bedford Jim stirred up considerable interest here with his "Vagabond Stories" about Russia.

Bob Benjamin kindly reports from Connecticut, which he travels thoroughly five days a week, that Jim Malcolm looks hale and healthy and continues in the accounting department of the New Departure Cos. at Bristol. Whit Gowrie also has a visit occasionally with Bob when the latter lands in New Haven. The letterhead lists him as agency organizer for the Mutual Life of New York—headquarters at Hartford.

Ed Jones evidently arrived at Palm Springs for the winter season of tennis, because he reported back to Bob Strong that drove out in four days flat, met Ash Castle sojourning with a group of West Coast football coaches in convention at 1 aim Springs, and "missed out on aniotherDartmouthite by becoming papa to GailBonter Jones, born December 10."

Another thoughtful correspondent, Chinee Allen, brings Hanover up to date. Tubby Rothschild has evidently been in Hanover this fall with Mrs. Rothschild, all the way from Los Angeles. New Year's Eve, while Ives Atherton was torn between duty to the occasion in his position as host to some 60 people and preparation for a possible fast drive to the hospital for the arrival of the second young Athertonwhile all this was going on, he lost his key and searched mightily in the good old temperature of 25 below. He didn't find the key, but he didn't have to drive that night either. Chinee reports the arrival of his first boy, Jonathan, last June 4, which kept him pretty busy and not much in evidence at reunion.

Hope this reaches a few new readers who took the tip from the 24-Hour Notice, one dollar from the wallet, and signed for the next four issues.
