Class of 1924
This column might get off to an extraneous start with a squib from a new publication called the Collegiate Review, which emanates from Worcester. The current issue quotes three reasons given in the Smith College Guide Book and republished by the Daily Dartmouth, which prove that Hanover still amounts to something at North Hamp. The reasons are that the undergraduates "act like drunken sailors onleave," are "impossible to identify outsideof Hanover," and that their ideal "is getting ejected from bars at three o'clock inthe morning."
With this bit of filler at the beginning, with few if any class contacts in the last go days, and with ten-ninths of the information on hand a month ago now used, the remainder of the column will be slim.
Alex Gibson, the Philadelphia French Prof. (Penn Charter School for Boys), reports that Bill McNiff, history Prof, at Miami University (Ohio), visited in Philadelphia over the Christmas holidays and attended the Dartmouth smoker with him. Of a more family nature, Gibbie Jr. arrived September 13 in the Gibson domicile, 5022 Schuyler St., Germantown.
The limits of the last report prevented any record of the attendance at the Boston alumni dinner. Arnie Jenkins on a recent visit to Worcester kindly phoned the writer that he spotted the following: Jerry King, Dana Haskins, Ed Winsor, Bob Hayes, Ted Learnard, Dave Perry, Stan Tyon, Red Maloney, Ev Baker, Luit Luitwieler, Win Farnsworth, Red Winslow, Stan Chittick, Dick Dickinson, Doc Christophe, and Tim Lyons. This bunch plus others so exceeded reservations that there were not enough seats to keep them all together.
B. L. Winslow, one of the master secretaries of Dartmouth Associations, who publishes a Directory of Northern California Alumni, has uncovered Sleepy Soule, who now resides in San Francisco at 537 Hillside Ave. Of his business no mention is made. The other two members of the class to keep Sleepy company in Frisco or thereabouts are Tom Flint, surgeon, of 1403 Willard St., a:nd Howie Clark, also a physician and surgeon at the Monterey Hospital, Monterey.
Ned Mansure, the drapery and upholstery trimming king of Chicago and North Windham, Conn., very obligingly dropped a two-page letter in the mail concerning a recent visit with Jim Franciscus, the real estate operator of St. Louis and resident of 10 Lenox Place.
"Jim is looking fine, and was certainly anxious to hear about some of thefellows. In St. Louis there are none fromour class or even around our class. Itmight be a good idea to inform the gangwho travel through St. Louis that Jimwould certainly like to hear from themand take it from me, he is a grand host. Hehas continued in the real estate businessand now has a whole block of propertieswhich he is managing, including a motionpicture theatre. Furthermore he just recently became a member of a syndicatethat is reorganizing an internationallyknown corporation and is going to take anactive part in its management."
Ned is now Illinois Republican state treasurer, and last December was made president of the South Central Association of Chicago. He has also been chairman of the Citizens Waterway Committee in Chicago. He came East last fall and visited a while with Bob Hall, taking in the Yale-Dartmouth game and a week at his North Windham, Conn., residence. His stay wound up with the Princeton game. This program fulfilled a five-year wish of his.
Earl Kees has shifted from Kansas City to Chicago as representative of the Washburn Crosby Cos., 208 S. La Salle St.
Secretary, 12 Haviland St., Worcester, Mass.
