Class of 1924
For the sake of stretching these notes out an important four lines, from what would otherwise be small enough to establish a side show, the following items are divided into four parts
MATRIMONY
On March 14, Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Allen of Spencer, Mass., announced the engagement of their daughter, Miss Barbara Allen, to Howard Mason Booth (Pinky, to be more exact). Miss Allen attended Wheaton College, Sea Pines, and Fairmont School in Washington, D. C., and is a member of the Junior League of Worcester. They plan to be married in June. (Noteit's been looking, rather serious for the past three or four months, even to the casual observer.)
On February 16, Dr. and Mrs. William P. DeWitt of Auburndale, Mass. announced the marriage of their daughter, Miss Marion DeWitt, to Russell Willard Letteney of Newton Highlands, Mass. Mrs. Letteney is a graduate of Wheaton College. Bride and groom left on a wedding trip to Florida.
Two rounds of congratulations.
PERSONAL
Ruel Tucker, submaster of the Concord, N. H., High School, and connected with the school for the past 12 years, has been chosen by the board of education as successor to Headmaster Charles F. Cook when the latter retires at the end of the present school year. Make those congratulations three.
Fat Daum, these many years on the Egyptian frontier for General Motors and with a sales territory of eight different countries, has returned to the home office in New York, 1775 Broadway.
We no sooner report Henry Hudson and Whit Whitaker in a men's wear retail publication venture with headquarters at the Parker House, Boston, than Henry sends along a sample copy with the notation that Whit is no longer connected with it.
Ever since Mike Uris returned from Hollywood and Al Vincent went into a new decade of silence, no one from the class seemed to remain in the movie business. However, Emory Pratt turns up at the Consolidated Film Laboratory, 6363 Santa Monica Blvd., with his residence at 631 North Colorado Ave.
Paul Healy from New Haven reports Tom Fitzpatrick's address, c/o Sarah C. Fitzpatrick, 83 Pleasant St., Brookline, Mass.
AGRICULTURE
Putty Blodgett rises to a point of order. In Time's letter section Putty wants to know the basis of claim for Carnation Milk Co's champion cow Carnation Ormsby Butter King and her record of 38,606.6 pounds of milk and 1420 pounds of butter fat. The gentleman from Roaring Brook Farm, Bradford, Vt., quotes the record of the American Shorthorn Breeders Association for Australian Milking Shorthorn Melba 15th of Darbalara, who had the edge on butter fat by 196 pounds. Decision goes to Carnation, who calls the latter figure established when Putty was cramming for the parchment, in 1924, entirely unofficial.
HISTORY
Culling The Dartmouth for a few choice reminders of fourteen years ago discloses the hockey team trimming Princeton in the last game of the season, with Hall, Lyon, Sheehy, and Sly on the forward line, Dave Perry on defense and Ted Learnard goal tender. Except for a 2-1 decision in Princeton's favor at the start of the season, the team won every game that year.
John Doe was high scorer in the ski meet at Montreal against Montreal and Toronto with two firsts, one in the snowshoe crosscountry and one in the snowshoe dash. That was the meet Wes Blake, captain, broke both snowshoes, another entry sprained his ankle, and still another lost a ski pole just at the wrong moment.
Tom Flint, against Navy, tied for the only first place the Dartmouth Gym team could corner—on the flying rings. On the subject of ties, at the I C 4 A's Track Meet in New York that February nine men tied for second place in the high jump at 5'10".
Remember the Gilded Shovel? Cliff Blake, after confessing authorship to the column, ran a quotation from the Boston Transcript following Les Haws' election as class chorister: "H. L. Haws has beenelected class chorister.'' Cliff also quoted a number of the letters pouring in at that time as Percy Marks' "The Plastic Age" went into its third edition in a month, from colleges all over the country acknowledging each writer's discovery that the story was centered in his particular school.
The day Kip Higley was elected director of the Commencement Ball, Paul Whiteman presented his Steamship Orchestra on furlough from the S. S. Leviathan, at the Gates Opera House, White River.
Take your choice. Next time you'll find less of this and more up-to-date news if you will only spend about two minutes over a penny postal.
