1923*

There has accumulated during the past several months a number of short newsy items about many of the gang. While your scribe has in no way forgot his pledge to publish during his five-year stretch, either in these notes or in the Alumni Fund Newsletters, a complete history of every man in the Class, we are varying the program a bit this month and devote most of the column to these "Quickies.".... Luther Elliott who used to be inspector and sales engineer with Vacuum Concrete Corp. in N. Y. C. is now putting his shoulder to the wheels of the aviation industry with Pratt Whitney in Hartford—home, 72 Campfield St., Manchester, Conn.... .Ced Swett has been transferred by Chevrolet Motors from Portland, Me., to Boston and is living at 120 Lanark Rd., Brighton, Mass.

.... Lyndon Pratt also comes to light in Hartford as Dean of the Day Division of Hillyer Junior College Bob McMillan, our most efficient Treasurer and Advertising Mgr. of Lip ton Tea Co. in Hoboken, is now a gentleman farmer of Green Harbor, N. J In case you didn't happen to notice it, Pudge Neidlinger was elected to the Executive Committee of the National Collegiate Athletic Ass'n. at its recent meetings Manchester, N. H., business must be on the up and up as Win Wadleigh reports that Al Taylor, the hardware man, and Dr. Walt Rahmanap have just moved into newly built houses—Al's in Manchester proper and Walt's in nearby Bedford Jim Landauer sends along some pictures (too distant to be recognizably reproduced in this column) of himself and Kip Couch competing in the National Men's Doubles Paddle Tennis Championship Ed Furey who is in the contracting and painting business in New York— Sec'y. Treas. of Halcyon Decorating Co. has just moved to 32 Sidney St., New Rochelle, N. Y.. .. .

Y.... .Larry Curtis is chief adjustor of compensation claims with Liberty Mutual Ins. Co. in Boston Hoped you all noticed in the January issue Prof. Riegel's review of Randolph (Red) Downes' latest book Council Fires on the UpperOhio Let me introduce the new editor of our Alumni Fund Newsletters Hizzoner Irish Flanigan who promises us some big surprises by way of many new ideas and a completely new get-up. Knowing such would be the case with anything Irish tackled was exactly the reason Sherm Clough, Ward Hilton, and Babe Miner asked Irish to take over the editorship Incidentally it wasn't until just recently in an exchange of correspondence with Al Dickerson, executive assistant to Pres. Hopkins and Executive Sec'y of the Alumni Fund, that I discovered that Don Moore is the actual father of the Fund Newsletter idea and that it was in the years that Don was our Class Agent and inaugurated this novel procedure that we as a class first made any real showing in the Fund results.

... .Johnny Durham is the big sash and door man of Belfast, Me., as Asst. to the Gen. Mgr. of Matthews Bros, and right in line for the No. 1 spot in the company Sol (Polly) Levine received his'L.L.B. from Columbia in 1926 and now carries on as Senior Tax Counsel in the Law Dept. of the City of New York.—Office, 1603 Munic- ipal Bldg.; Res., 690 Girard Ave., the Bronx Frank Miller is an Investigator for the Public Welfare Dept. of Haver- straw, N. Y Another '23 Miller is Aub, a teacher in the Commercial Dept. of the Fairview H. S., Dayton, 0.....H0race Taylor has added another to his already overpowering list of accomplishments— that of a trap drummer. Horace, with Red McPherson on the piano were the nucleus of a hot swing team which knocked 'em dead in Buffalo New Year's Eve. They played continuously all evening and answered each and every request—provided it was for the "Twelfth St. Rag"—if it wasn't they played the "Twelfth St. Rag."

... .Rae Taber, who Charlie Akin refers to as the "painless dentist" (we don't know whether from experience or because Charlie reads the ads) received his D.M.D. from Tufts in 1926 and has had his shingle hung out in New Bedford, Mass., ever since

Another '23 dentist is Eddie Grevatt who received his D.D.S. from Univ. of Penn. in 1934 and practices in Montclair, N. J. Clint Wells claims that if Eddie can't find holes in your teeth he makes them anyway and Clint ought to know as he claims to patronize Eddie Clint, by the way, is still working on his first million with the Trust Dept. of the Chemical Bank & Trust Co. and hails from Orange, N. J. Clint developed into quite a professional photographer under the able tutelage of his old roommate, Owen Smith, before Owen was transferred to Portland Halsey Mills covers N. E., N. Y. and Pa. as Special Representative of Medusa Portland Cement Co. of his native Cleveland. Just for your information, Halsey, Worcester is in N. E..... I presume you have noticed George Fuller's listing in the MAGAZINE'S Alumni Register as a builder of low-cost homes. This is quite a radical departure for the G. Fuller & Son Co. of which George is Retail Sales Manager and this new venture is his own particular baby. They staged quite a party in November when George opened up a new development—radio broadcast, theatrical stars, dance orchestra, Life photographer, 'n ever'thin Clarence Robinson is in the Planning & Scheduling Dept. of American Fork & Hoe Co. of Cleveland, charged with the responsibility of anticipating the ensuing year's requirements of that company's wide assortment of agricultural gardening and hand tools and scheduling the production of these items among the company's several plants. Some job to see that the demand and supply of each of several hundred different items comes out even Cap Palmer ran into Tom McKnight at Chariot's Revue in Hollywood recently—Tom was with the Rathbones and Nigel Bruces whose NBC show Sherlock Holmes he has produced for several years. Tom also produces Blondie this year. Cap reports Tom hasn't shrunk a fraction of an inch but looked a little worn—no doubt from his constant struggle in a sea of British accents Bill Rice has joined the Active Materials Laboratory of the Electro-Chemical Div. of Thomas A. Edison, Inc., in Belleville, N. J Ralph Dunton is putting his Tuck School training to advantage as Office Manager of the Ackshand Knitting Co., knit glove manufacturers, of Ballsta Spa, N. Y. In the old days when I was peddling wool Ralph's outfit used to be customers of mine and I saw Ralph almost every week so I was more than pleased to hear that he is carrying on the excellent job he was doing in those days. And I don't imagine gloving the new army has been any less of a headache for Ralph than clothing it has been for my company. Ralph's family consists of Mrs. Ralph and a daughter, Barbara Jane, 12.
