Louise Pickens, 45 Stevens Street, is a multigraph-typist for the Converse Rubber Co. She only has to say for herself that she has gained 50 pounds and is no taller.

He’s at home, Franklin Street, in the contracting business with his father and brother Charlie of ’25 fame. They em- ployed forty-five men last year, built a state road in 1928 and expect to repeat this year with more business. His weakness is the opposite sex so he’s keeping busy night and day.

A couple of years with Stone i Webster in the drafting division intro- ' duced him to his present job with the ' B. M. E. E. desiging and drafting i steel bridges and he intends to stick to , structural engineering. Hope he takes i the flat wheels off the cars, too. He’s j engaged to Miss Bernice Doucette of | Heading. It happened in May, 1929, so j guess Johnny is all set for the rest of his life. Francis Eafferty, 20 Wright Street, is also a plumber.

He spent four years at Dartmouth to get a B. S. degree but he really didn’t need it for he made good on the road with his ability as it was demonstrated in the Webster Debating Society of old. Florence Kelly also has done espec- ially well. She took the preliminary hospital course at Simmons College 1924-25 and then trained at N. E. Dea- coness Hospital of Boston for three years. In 1923 she was appointed su- pervisor there, a very responsible posi- tion, and then followed her folks south to do private nursing in North Carolina and Florida. She has just announced her engagement, June 1st, to Frederic W. Fudge, whom you will all remember as in the Class of ’22. Her mail ad- dress is 15 Deaconess Eoad, Boston. Gerald Eyan only spent his senior year with us but we all remember him as one fine boy. He’s living at 4241 By- ron Avenue, Bronx, N. Y. C. Engaged to Helen Lally, 8 Sargent Eoad, Win- chester, this brings him to the vicinity of Stoneham once in a great while. He’s had a varied career, Bentley School for C. P.

Hilda Frost, 86 Hancock Street, is a stenographer-bookkeeper. She’s held down various positions with different concerns but sticks to the same line of work. As we understand it now she is with the Stevens Linen Works of Bos- ton. Jessie Powers, 9 Prospect Street, was four years with Boston Consolidated Gas Company as bookkeeper and now she’s in the local office of the M. M. Gas Light Company. A bookkeeper she says, but we’ve heard her giving orders, too. Johnny Cahill took a B. A. from Bos- [ 26 ]

THE STONEHAM HIGH SCHOOL AUTHENTIC lives in Wakefield. Harold MacAnanny is married and lives in. Worcester. Eldred Patch went two years to Dart- mouth and then transferred to Massa- chusetts Agricultural College. Played some hockey according to the papers. George Eiley is now in the insurance game, although he’s tried several things including a little bit of law. We’ve heard him speak at town meetings. Dorothy Green confesses that she is working “in town”, meaning Boston, but fails to say where. Edith Ewing was working in the box factory, Wakefield, according to the la- test reports. Olive Goudey is employed by the Edi- son Electric Illuminating Co. of Boston. Mildred Krohn is with John Hancock Life Insurance Co. of Boston. As to mj ' self, Dick Barnstead, four years of Dartmouth for a B. S. and one year with the Stoneham Independent have convinced me that law is my fu- ture, so I enter Harvard Law for three years of work this fall. And there you have the class of 1924, as completely as we could get them under the circumstances. I might say a word for the benefit of those of the class who read this. Only three of the forty-seven felt that they did not want a reunion, the remainder were heartily in favor. However, it is a very hard thing to organize. The time to hold one is on the evening of Saturday, June 15th, but that is here already. Perhaps I one might be held in the fall, but it I would take much work to find out just who could be there and those who could not attend. The class of ’24 takes a bow and steps into oblivion as a unit. Its individual members may be seen now and then, ! but the rest remains only as a memory, or the form of a picture hung on the wall. May the future bring you all good luck. And to the graduating class of 1929, best wishes for success and a future of happiness. Adieu, for aye.
