Class of 1922
Dick Wood has moved from his Union St. address in Manchester, N. 11., to 503 Beech St.
Stewie Stearns has broken a vow never to write to the Class Secretary and came through surprisingly with a long, interesting description of life among the Stearnses for the last several years and even with a clipping from the Brattleboro Reformer for August 13, 1928, chronicling his marriage (Mrs. Stearns was Louise Salisbury Dutcher of Arlington, N. J., a 1925 graduate of the New Jersey College for Women). It appears that Stewie has been employed since graduation by the General Electric Cos. and has lived in various places, including Scotia, N. Y., Indianapolis, New York City, and lately in Schenectady. He is in the treasury department of the corporation in securities work. Stewie enclosed a picture of his son, Stewart Jr. (born August 23, 1931), charging across the Hanover campus in a football pose. It was a treat to get a letter giving us much information about one of the long-lost brethren.
Tommy Carpenter writes that he will leave his Florida orange plantation in time to appear at the June reunion.
Al Curtis, sometime member of Round Robin and nifty cornet player, writes us a pithy note about life in Grand Rapids. Al is president of Electric Sorting Machine Cos., which makes the gadgets which sort most of the beans and peanuts consumed by the citizens of this republic. He is a director of the St. Louis American League team and of the American Investment Cos. of Illinois. Al is president of the University Club of Grand Rapids. He reports that his main interests in life are troutfishing and bird-shooting. For catching trout he favors the "hump-back nymph," while for grouse he favors the Parker twenty-gauge double gun. The Curtises have two daughters, Patricia born June 35, 1924, and Barbara born August 15, 1925-
Dick Wood again took high rank as a Christmas card sender. His card is a photostat of an ancient township map of Randolph, N. H., circa 1858. The map carries such legends as "school," "sawmill" and "R. Wood Hotel."
We learn that Edward W. Feeley, who was with the class for a short time, is now a physician practicing in Arlington, Mass.
A new business address which without explanation was received from Larry Leverone: 2253 Union Guardian Building
, Detroit. Merritt Smith (Metal Sc Thermit Corporation, 120 Broadway, New York) reports that he is in a new residence at 27 Atlas Ave., Malverne, L. 1., N. Y.
Haskell Cohn on January i entered into a new law association known as Mintz, Levin, and Cohn, with offices at 1 Federal St., Boston.
Joe Ross became master of the Albany, N. Y., Lodge of Masons on December 15. Joe apparently has held most of the offices in the Albany Lodge, and was a senior warden last year. Along with the newspaper write-up which we saw was a picture which indicates that this distinguished laundry tycoon is looking very well.
It seems that while the rest of us have been reading good books Ed Ansin and an associate of his who was in the class of '24 have been acquiring a string of moving picture houses which now numbers thirtyone, located in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Recently by another deal they have added seven more to the number which they control. This latter group is made up of houses located in northern New Hampshire. The Ansin venture is called the Interstate Theatre Corporation and was formed in 1926. Arrangements are being made for engraved gold passes for all 1922 men, which will allow the bearer to attend any of the theatres anywhere at Ed's expense. While we are mentioning movie magnates, it might be well to add that Art Stewart controls two theatres at Durham, N. H.
The governor of Vermont, who curiously enough is a Republican, has appointed a three-man commission to administer the Unemployment Compensation Act. One of the appointees is Sterry Waterman. We have tried from time to time to chronicle the progress of Sterry's political career, and it seems the worse the party gets, the higher Sterry rises. He is at present Republican National Committeeman from Vermont, according to the Barre Daily Times of December 23. Sterry's new job is not a full time job, and he will continue to practice law.
