1924*

At the Columbia Game in Hanover we saw among the mourners Mr. and Mrs. Pete Wheatley, Brad Hersey, Dick Ludwig, Butts Lamson, Cy Aschenback, Rothchild, Jimmie Reid and Chinee Allen. The Game was fairly interesting but the score was wrong.

Saw Al Martin at a distance down in New Haven. Also attending the Yale game were Mr. and Mrs. Spud Spaulding, Mr. and Mrs. Stan Lonsdale and Mr. and Mrs. Red Maloney. The game was a real exciting one right up to the finish when Yale won it with two miracle forward pass receptions.

An announcement has just been received of the appointment of Stuart E. Eldridge to the faculty of the Hartford Arts School. Mr. Eldridge will head the applied arts department. Congratulations Stu! Stuart received his art training at the Beaux Arts Atelier of Mural Design in N. Y., and at the Art Students League, under Kimon Nicolaides. For the past eight years he has been a member of the art department of Cooper Union, and has taught in the summer at the League. He has had extensive practical experience in display and advertising, textile design and mural decoration, and executed decorations for the Textile Building at the New York World's Fair. His work has been exhibited at various galleries in N. Y., in Chicago, and in several N. E. cities. Drop me a line Stu and tell me all about the new job, your hobbies, etc.

Bill Buettner and Helen Roehrs were married Aug. 7. They spent their honeymoon on a trip to Puerto Rico and Santa Domingo, and now live at 2131 New York Ave., Brooklyn. Many congratulations to you both.

Please send in your dues to George Traver and please send me news. I have a few letters from the regular subscribers but I would appreciate a letter from anyone and everyone.

The night before the Harvard game the class held a dinner at the University Club. Seven of the wives wined and dined by themselves in the main dining room of the club and had a grand time. They were Mrs. Adams, Goldman, Harvey, Luitwieler, Maloney, Van Huyck and Wheatly. Those attending the men's dinner were Arnold Jenkins, Butts Lamson, Stan Lyon, Dave Perry, Brad Hersey, Ted Learned, Luit Luitwieler, Pete Wheatly, Ken Harvey, Red Maloney, Harold Goldman, Phil Van Huyck, Jim White, Wallie Lord, Spud Spaulding, Eve Baker, Warren Hollis, Henry Hudson, Dick Ludwick, Tillie Lourie and your Secretary. After the festivities subsided Spud Spaulding showed the class movies to the combined groups of wives and men in a private room, cheering led by Luitwieler. The party was a great success and it was voted to hold one each year if possible.

Most of the wives present were still talking about the fine time they had at Jug End Barn and already are making plans to go again next spring.

Nice letter from Chinee Allen in which he writes "North winds blowing and the first snowfall of the year at last. Got my bulbs in and my carrots and beets out just in time, I guess. Despite the score, the Columbia game brought pleasures. As I remarked as I passed in front of you to my faculty seat in the top row with the press box for a back-rest, it was good to see Tubby Rothschild and his wife as we walked to the game. They were with Mrs. Rolfe while the professor was parking his new Plymouth. Saw no more of the Rothschilds but the Rolfes came in in the evening with Prof, and Mrs. Cusick, my neighbors. Professors Cusick and Rolfe roomed together during graduate school days. A very pleasant evening. The Rolfes were East on sabbatical leave from his teaching (English) at U. C. L. A."

Dave Perry reports that Ax Coffin was in town recently on a business trip. How's to stop and say hello next trip, Ax?

Nice note from Ken Davis wishing he could have been at the class dinner and saying that he and his son Allen came down Saturday for the Harvard game.

Spud reports that the Whites had a swell steak roast at their house during July with plenty of much needed refreshment in the way of good swimming off of his dock, beer, and whatnot, for a few more fortunate members of the class, Don and Ruth Coyle, Gil and Florance Thornton, Charlie and Marion Amelung, Van and Lu Van Huyck, Stub and Doris Reed, and C. J. and Kae Spaulding. Spud says Morrie Fitch, head of Greystone Press, is both author and publisher of a recently published book for adults and children called Me Too, a juvenile volume concerning a prize winning piglet. Spud guesses that Fred Shaneman has taken away his gift to the class as it does not seem to be in Hanover.

Stan Curtis writes he has been busy landscaping his new house. He says that he makes it a point to see Bob Tice when he goes on his annual buying jaunt to Philadelphia. Drop me a line, Stan and give me all the news.

Jim White sends a long newsy letter on a business trip through the mid-west. He talked with Shirley Austin between planes in Pittsburgh. Shirley traveled to New England and Hanover in the summer. Jim had a nice visit with George Traver who reports the class dues coming in, but still lots of the fellows to be heard from.

Jim telephoned to Dave Solly while passing through Hartford and reports that Dave is well and plans to take in the Jug End Barn party next year. Dave makes weekly trips to New York so Jim hopes to see him at luncheon occasionally. Jim thought the party at the University Club was grand and hopes we will have it annually.

Notice. Any men within 50 or 60 miles of New York, who occasionally come to the City on business, should notify Jim White at 70 Fifth Ave., so that he can send them postal cards announcing class parties. The mailing list of class affairs in the New York City district goes out only to those considered living in the suburban area.

At this time your Secretary wishes to extend to all of 1924's families the season greetings, a very Merry Christmas and a most prosperous and happy New Year. May our country be at peace.

Secretary, 45 Chestnut St., Wellesley Hills, Mass.
