1924

All members of the class are cordially invited to attend a class officers' and Executive Committee meeting to be held Sunday morning, October 12, at Moose Mountain Lodge a few miles from Hanover. The ski hut at the Inn will be the scene of a class get-together on Sunday afternoon. This will be a reception for all the sons of classmates now at Dartmouth. We hope everyone who possibly can will attend this important class meeting and reception.

The Wheatleys held a get-together for the Eastern Massachusetts clan, August 28. PhilVan Huyck and his family, who were spending the month of August on Cape Cod, arrived for the event along with Fred Briscoe and his wife, Sid Gielich and wife, Red Hopkins and wife, Herm Barker, who drove over from Walpole, and the Spud Spauldings who drove over from Worcester for a very pleasant outdoor barbecue and get-together in the Wheatleys' home after the mosquitoes drove them indoors.

Met Perry Moody in the subway this summer. He's in the Real Estate Department of the National City Bank. Perry lives in Maplewood and quite often commutes with DickHenry on the Lackawanna Dave Dyche reports a very pleasant trip abroad last spring on business Clif Blake has an antique shop in Hoosick Falls, New York. It is ru mored that he lias become quite an authority on American antiques Larry Kugelman telephoned me last spring when he was in town from Montreal on business. He and his wife made it a pleasure as well as business trip and stopped off to see a number of friends Sumner Robinson is now with the Goodall Fabrics Company in New York Ray Holbrook reports that the Spauldings dropped in to say hello this summer while driving through northern New Hampshire.

.... George Rockwood has left the Bell Laboratories in New York and is now a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Illinois Bob Hall has resigned his managership of the Grant Store in Bridgeport and is now back in the big city. He is connected with the Adam Hat Company.

The following newspaper article came to my desk recently, "City Finance Expert Named by Representative Bates (Republican of Massachusetts) to Study District of Columbia Problem. Parker L. Jackson of Newton, Massachusetts, today was picked as 'analytical adviser' to the House District Subcommittee on Fiscal Relations, which soon will handle the city's proposed new tax bills. Mr. Jackson was assigned immediately to a comprehensive study of a mass of data on the District's financial problems. He comes to Washington from the Bay State, where he held the important post of executive secretary of the Massachusetts Commission on State and Municipal Finances. He also is a financial adviser to the Governor of Massachusetts." Parker has always been a statistician and an authority on municipal bonds, first in Boston and then later in New York with Charles E. Barney & Company and he recently moved back to Boston where he is associated with Lyons & Shafts.

The big event on the Whites' trip to the Coast this summer was a gathering in southern California arranged by Leon Rothschild. This was a barbecue at the lovely Rothschild home in the Los Angeles-suburbs. Johnny Barlow drove us to the Rothschilds and there we met Ash Castle and his wife. The class movies were shown after dinner and the three members in far-away California seemed extremely interested in what was going on among the alumni in the East and events in Hanover.

In this connection, will some of the other small alumni groups get together informally from time to time and ask Spud Spaulding to send the class movies, 16 m.m. The barrel is low—in fact we hit bottom this month. We can't write about classmates unless you send in news. So please—one and all, send news items about yourself or other classmates. Start planning now for your reunion in June 1949.
