Class of 1928
By this time (November 8) it's quite definite that the election is over and five hundred and some electoral votes say that you might just as well start talking about something else. Expect Gene Andres and Johnny Nixon, charter members of the Massachusetts Landon-for-President Club, have dug in for the winter in some fairly quiet spot and are trying hard to forget it all. They put in some mighty hard work, but the job was a bit too much for anyone. Saw Tommy Ellis last week. He tells me he has a brand new job with a firm of accountants—his boss, by the way, is a Dartmouth man and I can't remember his name. Ed Reece claims to be the father of a three-months-old boy, which makes the second youngster in the Reece menage. Fownes gloves still keeps their old man busy.
The name of Loren J. Westhaver emerges about as frequently as a seventeen-year locust—he is still, and this makes the eighth year, with the American Steel and Wire Co. at Worcester. Cuddy Gardner at odd intervals used to call the old puck dodger a human sieve, but nobody ever suspected that later on he'd be making them. The date on this clipping is a little hazy, but the idea is that about the middle of August Parker Noyes up and got himself engaged to Phyllis Canning of Newport, R. I.
Chet Kellogg is in the publishing business with A. M. Best Co., New York City.
Last time we heard about Wally Carr he was on the other side of the country extracting nickels from unsuspecting school kids in the name of the Educational Thrift Service, but it kind of looks like he's back in these parts. It sounds like a swell idea though—l wish they'd had something like it when me wife went to school.
Eliot Wakeman is at the Fairfield, Conn., plant of McKesson & Robbins, Inc. —Fred Titus is in the accounting business with Madigan-Hyland, New York City Johnny Waters works in the advertising department of Armstrong Cork Co., Lancaster, Pa. Bob Nespor is practicing medicine at Bridgeport, Conn. Larry Miter serves the traveling public at the Whitcomb Hotel, St. Joseph, Mich.
Art Lane got married awhile ago. Once in a while it seems like everybody in the crowd is all taken care of—some of them a couple of times—then an epidemic breaks out and another flock of the boys get hitched up. Art, it seems, was married to Janet Gordon on October 12 at North Scituate.
Got a letter from Dave Menard about the middle of last month and shortly after that saw him at the Dartmouth Club in N. Y. Dave has been a chemist for the Fiberloid Corp. at Springfield, Mass., and only recently has changed over to the General Aniline Works at Grasselli, N. J., where he is working on dyes in an air-conditioned laboratory, no less.
Gordon Miller is doing social work at the moment in New York City. Warren Clark is with the Metropolitan Life Ins. Cos. at Concord, N. H. Ray Hyman is teaching at Memorial High School, Middleboro, Mass. We hear that Dave McCathie is managing the Sun Dial Inn at Port Pervis, N. Y.
Joe Goodwillie is doing what they call commercial engineering with Robert Heller and Assoc. at Cleveland. Doc Simonds teaches at Pelham Memorial High School, Pelham, N. Y.
And Jack Rose, that advertising man, is now in the picture business. Bob Williams told me he has signed up with Walt Disney in the production end of the business. Next time you go to the Symphony (Silly) look sharp because Rose probably has a finger in the pie somewhere.
