Class of 1924
Freddy Shaneman opens a letter dated September a 8 in answer to one from this column, "Promptly responding to yourletter of January 23, this year, I can truthfully say that I have been so all-fired busylooking after my own work, that I had toneglect reporting on the classmates youasked me about. Although it won't satisfyyour needs very much for me to visit Hanover and take in several games this fall, itwill satiate my desire of long standing. Until I get this off my chest you'll have to forget about news of others." Freddy, who represents the Pennsylvania Salt Mfg. Co. of Tacoma, Wash., and who lives there, does a whirlwind Eastern tour each year when he visits the executive offices of the company in Philadelphia.

Delving again in Leon Rochschild's voluminous letter, Ash Castle, for many years assistant manager of the Los Angeles Biltmore, completed a noteworthy year as president of the Southern California Alumni Association and is now manager of the University Club there.
John Fleming of that sector and father of twins, continues to be one of the busiest lawyers. John does a lot of traveling as counsel for mining interests in Arizona and Montana. In fact, he has these trips pretty nearly on a commuting basis at present.
Bill Buettner, secretary of the Association of Exterminators and Fumigators, Inc., with a slogan—"Don't Tolerate—Exterminate" sends along a few recent bulletins of the nation-wide organization he helped to sponsor, a copy of a ticket entitling a few hundred underprivileged Brooklyn children to spend ten days in the country, which he writes kept him busy all summer, and the whereabouts of all Zeta Psi's as published by Osmun Skinner '28. His own letter is about ten words long with the information that he is on his usual go and too busy with termites to entrust himself to a lengthy letter. From this material, Fred McKenzie, Trust Department of the Central Hanover Bank, New York, emerges as the groom, yes and father. He and Miss Marjorie Johnson of Brooklyn were married March 23, 1935, with Charlie Zimmerman '23 as the best man. A daughter arrived June 2, 1936, and has Fred under full control.

Cubby Weeks, who has made Alberta, Canada, his home for years and who has worked for the Metropolitan Stores, Ltd., there, would seem to have moved to the suburbs to North Battleford. Only a guess, because the map isn't detailed enough to show it.
Ray Hopkins, United Shoe Machinery, Boston, was married June 20 to Marjorie Hall, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur W. Hall at the First Parish church, Quincy, Mass.
A personal visit to Skaneateles, N. Y., the last of September disclosed the arrival 10 months ago of Wilson Askew Jr., who has a 17-pound advance on his five-pound birth weight and looks as husky as his father still looks thin. Wid has a wide territory to cover as Syracuse agent for General Motors Acceptance Corp., does no more hooking, but a lot of interesting reading, between trouble shooting with dealers all over the state and as far east as New Haven, Conn.
