1924

Pete Wheatley sent in this report of the Columbia game weekend and the meeting of the Executive Committee and class officers. "The Columbia game attracted a goodly representation of the class to Hanover. Brad and Lois Hersey opened their very attractive farm in New Boston, New Hampshire, to the Executive Committee. Jim White, SpudSpaulding, Jeff Adams and Pete Wheatley arrived with their respective wives Friday evening, went on to Hanover Saturday morning and came back again and spent Saturday night in New Boston. Luit Luitwieler came over from his neighboring farm, sat in on the fun and the business and joined the gang in Hanover. Brad and Lois were wonderful hosts, Brad even offering to light the fires laid in each bedroom before rising time, but the warm weather made the fires unnecessary somewhat to Brad's disappointment we all thought.

Pinky Booth, Doc Christophe and FredBriscoe with their wives were found ensconced at the inn. Ken Davis was seen at the game and, with his wife, joined the gang at BradHersey's farm for an elaborate Sunday breakfast which started with fruit juice, went through five courses and ended with stories, some good and some not so good, but all greeted enthusiastically. Others seen at the game in Hanover included Don and Dot Hull with their two children, Don Bartlett, GordyBridge, John Coyle, Ken Foley, Al Robinson,Parker Hicks (the democrat from Colebrook), Sandy McClintock, Joe Doe, Don Day, EdSullivan, Warren Whitney and Whit Whitaker. Dot and Betsy Strong were at the game.

One of the matters discussed by the Executive Committee was the possibility of local gatherings in the near future. It was definitely decided to attempt a revival of the Jug End Barn parties next spring either there or at some other point equally accessible to Boston and New York. Get-togethers in Boston and New York were talked about and undoubtedly these will develop during the winter. KenDavis and Brad Hersey were elected to the Executive Committee.

A Wah-Hoo-Wah for Ev Baker, appointed Dean of Students at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Ev is leaving his position as pastor of the First Unitarian Church of Cleveland to take up his new duties at once. All the class extends congratulations and best wishes to Ev in his new work.

REPORT ON THE YALE GAME

Unfortunately our seats were not with the class and so we saw only a few at the Yale game. (Many were turned away.) Had lunch with Spud Spaulding in the southwestern parking lot. Incidentally, next year we will try to get a gathering together for a picnic luncheon at the Yale game. Saw many such groups, and it should work out. The Van Huycks and the Grahams were on hand with their two boys. Doug Craig, there with his son, reports that he saw Pete Wheatley who was down from Brockton, Cip Cipillaro, the best dermatologist in New York, and Stan Curtis from Bridgeport.

Spud writes after his return to Worcester: "Evidently the class was scattered far and wide over the stadium. I sat next to Bob Hayes, his wife and son, Robert, and right behind me was Paul Synnott. A couple of rows back were Prenny and Ev Gallup with one of their four sons, David. The oldest Gallup boy is in the Marines at Parris Island, the second one is at Kent. This one is in grammar school in Holyoke, and the "baby," still another son, has just turned four. Quite a family—Luit called yesterday and said he had seen Lonsdale and DaveSolly at the game—not where he was sitting, but outside, between the halves Going back to Hayes a minute, he seems to be back on his feet pretty well, and by watching his hours, should be sound as ever. Luit called to tell me that George Murphy had died, and to report that he had sent flowers on behalf of the class. Luit had to go to New York last night and so could not attend the funeral this morning in St. Patrick's Church, Watertown. Ted Learnard, Ted Perry and Red Maloney were at the service."

Warrie Hollis has moved to Springfield and is now located at 292 Union Street. He has a boy stationed with the Coast Guard at Groton, Connecticut. Right now he is busy trying to get automobiles to satisfy his customers. He's with the Chrysler Corporation, and sees Win Sturtevant now and then on the streets of Springfield Charlie Knudsen did not return to Hamilton after his service with the Office of War Information during the war, and is now teaching French at the University of Illinois Ken Harvey was at the Penn game but I haven't received a report of that game from any of the '24 men. Incidentally, Ken's son is a freshman and out for football. It is also reported that Ken is about to take an assignment for the government that will send him to the Far East. Hope to get more detailed information for a later issue Am George's daughter, Elizabeth, is now attending Colby Junior College where she is taking a medical technology course. Looks as if she will follow her father's footsteps.

BROWN GAME

Ed Winsor has sent me a report on the Brown game as follows: "I should prefer to leave out any comments about the game itself, but am glad to report that the portion of the 1924 delegation made up of Bob and FranHayes, Luit and Sally Luitwieler, Red and Norma Maloney and Ed and Mary Winsor were treated to a pre-game luncheon (dinner would be a better description) by Bert and Marg Perry and that the same delegates, plus Arnold and Helen Jenkins, held together for appropriate treatment of their sorrows at the Winsors after the game.

Gordon Bridge reports that Ken Davis was the only member of the class on hand for the Syracuse game besides the local boys.

We were all shocked at the news of the sudden death of George Murphy in Watertown on November 2nd. The sympathy of the class has been extended to Mrs. Murphy by the Secretary.

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF 1924 takes time out for a peerade before the Columbia game at the Herseys' farm in New Boston, N. H. Left to right, standing, Luit Luitweiler, Spud Spalding, Lou White, Kay Spalding, Alma Wheatley, Lois Hersey, Ken Davis, Ann Davis, Bea Adams, and Jeff Adams.
