Class of 1925

Eddie Griffin has resigned as assistant manager of the Hanover Inn. His late father-in-law owned the New England Buffing Cos. in Boston—the oldest company of its kind in the country—and Eddie has gone to Boston to become operating head of this concern. (Anyone wishing to retire can probably buy Eddie's brand-new house in Hanover at bargain prices.)

Sam Churchill was in Boston last month for a short visit. For several years he has been operating and promoting gold mines in Nova Scotia, and reports that there are over 60 of them in the section east of Halifax Dick Holden recently spent three weeks in the hospital to cure a stomach ailment which has bothered him at intervals for several years.

Quite a few of our boys are located within a block of the Grand Central Station, N. Y. In the Graybar Building are Bill Griffin, demon advertiser; Doug Archibald, secretary of a paper company; and Augie Janssen, who has a swanky dining establishment on the main floor. Next door, in the Chrysler Building, Terry McGaughan sells insurance, while across the street in the Chanin Building Bob Canfield settles legal problems. Curt Abel lives three blocks east in Tudor City and works with General Foods Corp. on Park Avenue. We wonder if they ever think of getting together for lunch or dinner at Augie's?

So much for the Chicago migrators! And to the already long list of winter vacationists add the Jake Penneys, who deserted Worcester for a three weeks' motor trip to Florida (it seems the ice business isn't very prosperous in the winter months), the Stricklands, just back from several weeks in the little West Indies (Trinidad, St. Thomas, etc.), one of your greatly over-worked secretaries, in the person of Pete Blodgett, recently returned from ten days in Bermuda, where also basked Line Davis and Deak Blodgett.

A-tra Social Note: One Langdon Spring was authentically reported as putting on a funny suit and occupying a box seat with his fiancee at the opening of the opera in Boston two weeks ago.

Jim Curry is teaching chemistry at Williams College Bill Thompson has gone completely berserk over skiing, at this late stage in life! An outing club has been formed in Lowell, and Bill now carries a complete line of domestic and foreign ski equipment in his hardware store, hobnobbing with Otto Schiebs and other experts, so that now he knows all the answers.
