Class of 1924
Only the occasion of the secretaries' meeting held on the two days prior to the closing date for these notes saves this column from the double "0."
Mony Monahan from Philadelphia attended in the capacity of secretary of that city's Dartmouth organization, and headed up discussion of club secretaries when they met in separate conclave. Mony has a considerable reputation for staging interesting meetings.
Ed Spargo, functioning for Bridgeport, Conn., crashed through with an item or two on news happenings in his sector. Larry Stone it seemed has built himself a new home in Bridgeport, where he is now serving as district manager of the Southern New England Telephone Co. This is home number two for Larry with a summer camp at Green Farms. Incidentally, he was elected vice president of the Bridgeport Dartmouth Club this year. Home building seems to have struck thrice, with the news that Stan Curtis is also about to move into a new house which he has built, and with a freshly constructed residence in Stamford awaiting Jim Reid, the Harcourt Brace star salesman.
Frank Montross from Westchester appeared on the scene with his wife and son, only to tarry for a week in the pleasant spring weather of Orford.
The secretary of the Cleveland Club elaborated on Newc Newcomb's recent polo excursion to play in the national meet in New York City. Among Class B teams, Newc is rated as a "Dead Eye Dick." This information was followed by an awaiting letter in the home office of your columnist from Newc himself. The items he records are worth a quotation mark or two.
"I was in New York about three weeks ago and saw Don Coyle for the first time in about six years. His charming wife was gracious enough to invite me to dinner twice, in spite of the fact that she ..had previously met Stan Lyon and a couple of other Dartmouth guys of like ilk and immediately classified me as another fresh Dartmouth guy. I tried to persuade them to come to Cleveland next month, though I don't think Don has ever been farther west than West Orange.
"I have been able to give Charlie French a cogent reason for having gone to Dartmouth in the form of a few orders for Container Corporation cartons. He seems to like it here in Cleveland and is taking an active part in Dartmouth Club activities.
"Paul Gordon is still actively engaged as a customer's and customeress's man at J. S. Bache & Co. He has gone in for road building on a large estate he recently purchased in the Cleveland suburb of Brecksville.
"Doug Gorton has been kept busy commuting between Kent, Ohio (to dabble with figures), Florida (to vacation), and Grand Rapids (to talk and drink furniture). In between times he sells insurance.
"Russ Treadway, present treasurer of the Dartmouth Club of Cleveland, manipulates the market in the interest of Prescott, Biggar & Co. So far I can't see that he has made the Dartmouth Club's loan bond take on any more of a golden hue than it has had for the last 15 years. Still he's a broker, not a magician."
Four stalwart souls belong to the Dartmouth Outing Club of New York and participated occasionally in the far-flung affairs of that organization when snow permitted—Al Hadlock (treasurer), Bill Gardner, Charlie Holbrook, and Jim White. Al's apartment served as the stepping-out point for the farewell party extended to the Swiss Ski Team on the eve of their departure March 17 for Switzerland. From published reports the visitors left in a tremendous burst of friendly feeling for members of the Green.
Secretary, 12 Haviland St., Worcester, Mass.
