Class of 1924
Long live the privileged group—the ones with enough money. May the hardy band of subscribers bearing the numerals of '24 who foresaw their money's worth in nine issues of this publication last year, again come within gunshot of a few class doings. But of equal importance may you accept with pleasure the additional duty of ferreting out a few more A 1 prospects for subscriptions. If you're not personally called on, please try your hand at it uninvited. We bring up the rear once more with the smallest percentage of readers, which is the third time in a row that's happened. Let's get out.
Vim Heegaard, "the miller from Minn.," got a sheet of paper around the cylinder long enough this summer to write of a long postponed vacation to the north of Minneapolis, and an evening of fond Dartmouth reverie and rehashing with Owl Keyes and his wife. While the empties were assuming larger proportions, Vim accounted for Lyme Thompson, still in Minneapolis but single again. Owl could only issue a wail that Des Moines produces no class specimens, not even when you're a banker.
While the main effort to again gather in Hanover concluded last year, the impulse to step up the event to an annual affair struck Stan Lonsdale, Ken Harvey, Dick Teel, Red Maloney, Pinky Booth, and Bob Davidson. Housed in the head- quarters of 1925, the only known facts that have seeped out since point conclusively to the undoing of the foregoing and a unity of spirit that could not be daunted. As usual Stan Lonsdale officiated in white gloves.
Another informant drops into Worcester occasionally since Luit has taken to the road to sell his illustrious line of shoe trimmings. Bert Perry spent a week-end at the Luitwielers' in Winchester recently, his first return visit to Boston since he left Proctor & Gamble in the Boston office for the Skinner Silk Co., and a new territory out of New York. Bert seems to like the new set-up very much.
Bill Fawcett, first importer, then investment salesman, next dental supplies, has taken over the agency for several lines of furniture formerly handled by his father. This shift brings Bill frequently to New England and fortunately to Worcester. Bill reported a Chicago gathering of Sigma Nus—'24 vintage—with Ralph Roberts, Bob Branson, Fred Diehl, and others helping Bill to see the city (inside). Bob Branson, recently appointed an executive of the Crusaders (non-political independents) with the help of the above plus Ted Goddard of Bennington, Vt., will marry Miss Eleanor Verdier of Grand Rapids, Michigan '27, sometime after Thanksgiving.
Dot and Stan Lyon, now of Wellesley Hills, Mass., extended a great welcome to Mark Batchelder Lyon, born July 29. He'll find an older sister, Mary Lou, to look after him.
NEXT MONTH. Turn to this page again to hear of the new big scientific farmer who has blossomed out in Vermont in overalls for the first time.
