Class of 1924
the annual alumni dinner in Boston brought forth the reliable table and a half, and fortunately for this department an item or two of news. Jack Parker parted company with C. H. Whittier & Bros., real estate, as of December l, and is now field assistant for Travelers Insurance in the Life, Accident, and Group Departments, with his office at 147 Milk St. Stan Chittick has moved nearer the cash drawer at Simonds Saw 8c Steel in Fitchburg, Mass., and is now assisting the treasurer. He also announced that Casper Whitney has shifted his first furniture love in Gardner to Greenwood Carleton Co., as assistant on sales and advertising.
Changes seemed to be in order that evening. Paul Lockwood is with the C. H. Stone Co., produce, Faneuil Hall Market, Boston, in charge of credit and accounting. Paul was formerly with Swift. Red Maloney reported that Frankie Smith (who left Manhattan a year ago) with the aid of Jeff Tesreau landed a baseball coaching job and assistant football coaching position at a high school in New Jersey. Red had to swallow at the moment the name of the town came to him, and he never did think of it again.
Red Winslow, looking fit and a bit fat, came forth with the news that Ruel Tucker, these few months new headmaster of the Concord, N. H., High School, has taken the same position at Brockton, Mass. Pete Wheatley, the Abington, Mass., town moderator, said he understood Nat Ryder had left banking in Middleboro, Mass., married, and gone to California.
Win Farnsworth, the telephone gentleman who lives in a four-floor bachelor apartment with three other "hardys," confirmed the other news items, added nothing new, but brought one round later. Wales Holbrook was on deck, a night off from his Ph.D. labors at Harvard. Brad Hersey, Tillie Laurie, and yours truly completed the table and a half, with Dave Perry and Stan Lyon doing honors for the Club as members of the arrangements committee.
Nice long newspaper clippings come in about as often as a century plant. Such an event took place last week with the larger portion of a column from the Elkhart (Ind.) Truth, announcing the election of George Anderson, as President of the First National Bank. No need to reproduce his speech to the board of directors, but needess to say the bank is in good shape. They even declared a dividend. George came to Elkhart as V. P. of this bank in the fall of 1935, from the Chicago Agency of the RPC. He is a director of the Elkhart Genial Hospital, the Chamber of Commerce, the City Club, and a member of the Christiana Country Club. The story mentions Aat George also headed the business division of the last Community Chest drive. That's three bank presidents to date, Anderson, Kip Higley, and Fred Rix. Some day a count will be taken of bank officers.
Stan Lonsdale (hereby shooting the last semblance of news in the file) sends out a finely printed card to announce the removal of his office to the Bridgeport City Trust Co. Building. Probably no insurance prospects left at the old address.
Secretary, C. 12 Haviland St., Worcester, Mass.
