Class of 1924
Fortunately for a struggling secretary, Red Newell not only comes through with remarkably regular letters, but he also managed to include a good bit of news where that commodity should be scarce. A clipping from the Hong Kong MorningPost reads, "Engagement Announced of Mr.'Red' Newell to Miss C. Zeigler" Miss Clare Zeigler hails from Santa Barbara, Calif., and is a graduate of the University of California. The fiance writes he doesn't quite understand how he jumped the traces so quickly. Following a long inspection trek from Singapore Nov. 9 to Osaka, Yoko, Tokyo, Harbin, and back to Yoko (Yoko- hama to you) Feb. 7, Red stepped off Feb. 10. After a short honeymoon in Japan, the Newells "expect" to settle in Shanghai. An inspection trip involves "a great deal ofpoodle-faking and high-low society operations" with a consistency that includes Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. However he confides that he was maintaining an extraordinary amount of poise coming into the stretch.
Cleveland as reported last time with all Dartmouth affairs in the hands of the class has nothing on Los Angeles. Ash Castle is serving there as president, and Leon Roths- child as secretary. Leon will go down in history as welcomer number one, ever since he surrounded Dean Laycock with a new bevy of beauties every few hours when the latter visited there a year ago.
Smoke Smith furnishes a tiding or two. "Have made another of those shifts whichthe telephone industry so frequently favorsits servants with, and am now signing myself Division Traffic Employment Supervisor and occupying the chair formerly heldto the floor by the weight of Charlie Amelung, who has the guidance of the telephone office in Hackensack. Charlie, by theway, is the father of a young daughter.
"Jim Wheaton is messing around here inNewark, trying to develop some scientificmeasurement of female aptitude—at leastfor telephone operating. His talk is filledwith correlations and norms and a lot moreilluminating terms. Several months ago Igot tangled with Brad Wilson in variousparts of an amateur theatrical productionin Cranford, N. J., where he lives. Bradisn't the actor—his wife is—but he tis a hell°f a good offstage noise and could usuallyproduce a drink.
"The last I heard of Morry Ahlquist wasover a year ago. He's still in Spokane. Hiswife has him well under control when shels about, but I am sorry the tin-type evidence of backsliding has faded away. Hehas some offspring which sooner or latershould give Dean Pudge the same kind ofworry and care that Morry gave DeanCraven."
February 25 brought forth a pretty good round of Bostonites on the occasion of the annual Dartmouth dinner. Neither Bob Morgan or Ken Harvey could scare up any dirt to accompany the list of those present: Walt Barnard, George Prager, Bunny Sly, Bob Strong, Stan Lyon, Dave Perry, Ted Learnard, Hookie Hagenbuckle, Tillie Lourie, Brad Hersey, Butts Lamson, Win Farnsworth, Doc Christophe, Red Winslow, Herm Barker, Ev Baker, Warren Hollis, Arnie Jenkins. A week or so prior the Dartmouth Matrons' Club sponsored a dance at the Parker House, which also had a good '34 representation.
Bevo Beers, one of the hardy Central American United Fruit representatives, has returned to Arlington Heights, Mass.—156 Westminster Ave.
Bert Perry, Skinner silk specialist, is residing at the Dartmouth Club, New York. Penny Haile, long of Hanover, hovers around Springfield, 28 Edwards St. to be exact, but doing what remains a question.
Frank Little, contractor and builder of Washington, D. C., these many years, now lives at 3205 Morrison St., N. W., Washington, D. C.
Roy Gillander is with the Norton Co. (abrasives), at their Worcester, Mass., plant, and living in the near-by town of Boylston.
Ran Caldwell, for four years lost in the musical business in Buffalo, has been unearthed again by Art Graham, chief sleuth of that sector.
Only slight relief from the news drought this month. All readers please take note.
Secretary, 12 Haviland St., Worcester, Mass.
