1924
A big turnout is expected for the annual Dartmouth Dinner in New York on April 26. Our class has arranged a get-together and cocktail party (bring your wife, sweetheart or Aunt Hattie) before the dinner. Meet at the club as soon after work as possible. Don't miss this annual Dartmouth party and chance to listen to Hoppy. How about some of you out of towners. Make it a point to be in New York on business that day. Save the date, April 26.
Lt. Comdr. J. Shirl Austin writes from 33x4 "P" St., N. W., Washington, D. C.:
I am now "Chairborne" in the Department here in Washington, in fact have been since the first of March of '44. A year ago I was nearing San Francisco after a fourteen and a half months' tour of duty in the South Pacific, New Caledonia, Espirito, Santo and Guadalcanal. I enjoyed the work, even though our outfit was pretty well back and out of things. The job here is mighty interesting and now that we have a small house, I find duty in Washington not too bad. My sixfoot-three infant son enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserve the second of this month and will be on inactive status until he finishes Culver this June, then he will probably head for Quantico. He has filled out the Dartmouth application for this fall even though Hanover or any other place will be out until all this is over.
Otis Jackson has just sent us an interesting brochure describing the many activities of his church, the St. Paul's Episcopal Church, in Flint, Michigan. The Jacksons have three children, a boy and two girls. He is very active in the local Civic Organizations of Flint For the last eleven years Bill Doe has been with the Springfield Bank for Cooperatives, which is a unit of the Farm Credit Administration in Springfield, Mass. He and his wife and their two children, a son sixteen and a daughter ten, live in Wilbraham, Mass. Bill is an attorney and acts as treasurer of the bank
Another son of a classmate is in Hanover. In this case it is Ken Harvey Jr., who entered the Navy and was assigned to Dartmouth in July 1944. Ken Sr. is with the War Production Board in Washington Les Sycamore is one of the outstanding members of the medical profession in Hanover. Besides his professorship in the Medical School, and his activities in the Hospital, he is very interested in Medical Economics. He was recently elected president of the New Hampshire Physician Service, which is a non-profit organization sponsored by the New Hampshire Medical Society. This organization is somewhat similar to the Hospitalization Plan, taking care of medical bills for the individual's family Larry Goldstone, after writing for a number of years under the name of Lawrence Treat, has now legally changed his name to his pen name. Before his marriage in 1943, he continuously travelled around the country getting data for his stories and novels. His latest book is TheLeather Man (mystery). In all he has published a half-dozen books, over a hundred stories and a number of articles On the first of January of this year, Frank Harrington began his duties as president of the Massachusetts Protective Life Assurance Co. and the Paul Revere Life Insurance Co. Frank received a law degree at Harvard in 1927, and since that date has been living in Worcester and active in many of the Worcester civic affairs. He was general council of the Assurance Company before he became president. The Harringtons have three, children, including a boy who is almost ready for Dartmouth Johnnie Dregge sent the class Christmas Greetings in the form of a very unique V-Mail Card from Cairo. Johnnie, as you know, is a lieutenant colonel and the Military Attache of the American Legation in Cairo, Egypt. In a letter some time ago he said that he was very busy with a Jack-of-alltrades job. He writes, "Our new American Minister here in Cairo is Mr. S. Pinkney Tuck, a Dartmouth man, the class of '13. He is a very fine chap and most highly respected by all. I haven't run into any of the members of the class here, but I do hope that if any of them do get to Cairo, they will be sure to call me at the American Legation."
Flash From Butts Lamson! BOSTON ALUMNI DINNER
The '24 boys on hand February 28, for the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Boston dinner at the Copley Plaza were Jeff Adams, Christophe, Geilich, Gibson, Hudson, Jenkins, Kellogg, Lamson, Lourie, Learnard, Lord, Luiteweiler, Maloney, Paul Morgan, Dave Perry, Nat Ryder and Winslow.
There were about seven hundred present, including a large delegation of servicemen from all branches, who were guests of the Association. Before dinner, "refreshments" were served in the small room adjoining the ballroom. This room had been rigged up to represent "Wheelock Tavern," and was most effective. After dinner, free (no less) beer was served here by mustachioed waiters with white bar-room aprons, etc. An excellent dinner followed, after which guests at the headtable were introduced by Mr. Burns, the toastmaster. They included Bill Cunningham, Tuss McLaughery, Capt. Robert O'Brien, former football star and now in the Marines, Prexy Hopkins, Capt. Damon Cummings, Col. Arthur Soule o£ the Army and Dartmouth, Comdr. Charles "Chick" Shea of the Coast Guard, Major Anderson, new commandant of Marine unit at Hanover, and Bill McCarter. An interesting feature of the festivities was the reading of the citation awarded to Bob O'Brien some time ago for his work at Guadalcanal and Tarawa, among other places. As part of a so-called double quarter, loosely organized by Bill Cunningham and Harry McDavitt, we noted Jeff Adams among those present. Also, Henry Hudson and Wally Lord! Believe me they were somethin'! Wally and Paul Morgan were members of the orchestra, who played before festivities began in the Wheelock Tavern.
