CLASS OF 1929
These have been very busy days for all of us, but not too busy to prevent us from running into each other during our moments of relaxation. Beside us at the Harvard game, way up there in the top row of the colonnades, sat Jack Pillsbury. Jack is working for the Boston Globe. On the other side was Monty Montamat, and right in front of us was Jake Jaquith. Close at hand, sharing the shelter of the colonnades, were Squeek Redding, Bill Williamson, Jim Hodson, Dick Clark, Bob Austin, Molly Bott, Gus Herbert, and others whose names the excitement of the game caused us to forget. Molly is working in a textile mill in Rochester, N. H., but manages to get home once in a while. The Sunday afternoon of the week-end we had a very pleasant visit from AI Cooley, who dashed down from Buffalo for the game. He is working in a bank, and seems to be enjoying the work and bearing up well.
Down at Providence we caught glimpses of Noel Salomon, Phil Mayher, Hal Ripley, Johnnie Calver, Ed McGibbon, Ken Wilson, and Bill White.
We have seen Dick Johnson, but only during his serious moments as sales clerk in the gentlemen's furnishings section of Arthur L. Johnson Company, on Devonshire St., Boston. We don't doubt, however, that Dick gets some time off.
Jimmie Loveland spent the summer working in a lumber camp in Louisiana, returning North in the fall to take a position with Chase Securities, New York city. He writes that Fred Campbell, who used to be with us over in Topliff, is a fellow worker. As we remember it, Fred left at the end of the sophomore year and was married soon after.
It is surprising what good looks and a posi- tion in a bank will do for a young fellow. We learn that Gus Wiedenmayer has been with a Newark bank since the first of October, and that he is quite enthused over the fact that he is starting off right with his private secretary. We wonder how many '29 men can boast, so soon, a private secretary?
Wally Willard is working for Putnam and Company, an investment house in Hartford, Conn.
From the ratfier meager information returned on the address cards we gather that Charlie Shaeffer, Eddie Deans, and Ed How are working for the General Electric in Schenectady and are living together at 244 Union St.
Carl Bertch sends his regards from Philadelphia, and reports that he is working for N. W. Ayer and Sons. We would appreciate more news from that quarter.
Phil Dinsmore had been given the Albany territory for the National Carbon Company.
Steve Nordblom is going through a year's apprenticeship with the Fleischmann Company, which has recently changed to Standard Brands, Inc., in Philadelphia. He says he is eating his three cakes a day, and enjoying the work a lot.
Paul Kelsey spent the summer with the Hayes-Biekford people learning the restaurant business. He plans to enter the business in an executive way very shortly as assistant manager of Kelsey's, Inc., his father's concern. Paul is living in Jersey City.
Brownie Waite and Herb Fish are with the Shell Petroleum Company in Boston and New York, respectively, and Bud Woodman is juggling sides of beef in the Swift receiving rooms in his home town of Salem.
A1 Downing writes that Wall St. is overrun with '29 men. Both he and Nick Nickerson are with the Chemical Bank and Trust Company in the customers security department and the credit department, respectively. Tal Babcock is with E. B. Smith and Company in the customers securities. Gene Davis is with J. S. Bache and Company, another brokerage house.
Ken Macnair has a very good job with the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, training for an executive position in the future. He reports that Mike Ferrini, Art Clow, and Freddy Armstrong are also with the company, but are on the job somewhere in New Jersey.
Tux Small is with an accounting firm on Wall St., which recently sent him to Chicago for ten days to gain additional experience on a job there.
Ray Hedger is selling life insurance for the Equitable Life Insurance Company. He says that he has recently seen Nivy Nivison, who is with a brokerage house on Wall St.
Several letters have eome in from men who for one reason or another left college before the end of the senior year. Such letters are more than welcome, because they enable us to re-establish connections and place the ex'29-er back in his true position as a vital member of the class. We urge all men who were active members of the class for even the shortest time to remember that they are every bit as much '29 men as any of us, and that we are all especially interested in their activities since they left Hanover. We wish they would write in to us.
Larry Martin, who left at the end of junior year, is now at the University of Florida, at Gainesville, Fla.
Sandy Hume, who left at the end of sophomore year, has been with the Amazon Knitting Company at Muskegon, Mich., since that time. A year from last June he was married to Miss Harriet Wilson of Muskegon. Sandy must be doing very well, because his last letter made mention of a new house that had just been built. He says there will be a lawn to mow by next summer.
Russ Holbrook is in St. Louis, working for the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Russ left at the end of sophomore year, worked for a year, and then returned, only to be forced to leave again on account of sickness. Russ reports that he is the only '29 man in St. Louis, but that there are several Dartmouth men in the city. His engagement to Miss Charlotte Lewis of St. Louis was recently announced.
Johnny Sanders, who left at the end of sophomore year, graduated A. B. from Nebraska last June, and is now at the Nebraska Medical School in Omaha. About the first of September we had the pleasant surprise of a visit from Johnny while he was making a short stay in Boston prior to continuing on to Hanover. He and his father were enjoying an automobile trip through the East. Johnny intends to transfer to Penn Medical or Johns Hopkins later.
Dave Westwater graduated from Ohio State last June, and is now with Hornblower and Weeks in New York city. Dave left Dartmouth in '27. He writes that he has seen many of the young prides of the New York brokerage houses, among whom he mentions Cliff Purse, who is working for Richard Whitney on Broad St.
Paul Nourie is now in his final year at Boston University Law School, having entered there after completinghis second year at Dartmouth.
Russ Thomas has been with Jordan Marsh Company, Boston, since leaving Hanover at the end of sophomore year. At present he is in the executive offices, having just completed a two-years' training course. Russ writes that Bud Terrio, who was prominent in freshman football, is now married and is living in Everett, Mass. At present he is head salesman in Thayer, McNeil, and Company, Boston, retail shoe store.
We have heard that Steve Balkam is work- ing for the Grant Company in Binghamton, N. Y.
Ayres Boal, Jr., who left college in good standing at the end of his junior year, has been for the past year with the International Grenfell Association as school teacher and leader of Boy Scouts, at Northwest River, Labrador. He may finish his fourth year at college.
We very happily ran into Doe Hatch the other day in the Cadillac service station in Boston. Doc informed us .that he has been with the company for a year and a half, and has just recently been promoted to the position of service salesman. Doc left college at the end of the freshman year after playing such good ball in the freshman infield. Before getting his present job he traveled for the National Drug Company, covering territory in the Middle West. He is now living in Boston at 718 Commonwealth Ave., with his brother.
Bob Hemhauser, who played one of the tackles on the freshman team, is now happily married, and is living in Irvington, N. J.
Earle Bennett entered the New Jersey Law School in Newark, after leaving Dartmouth, where he has been elected president of the first year class and treasurer of the third year class. For a while he served a clerkship in a New York law office and became assistant editor of the Patent and Trade Marl; Review, a monthly authority on international industrial property protection. He writes that he saw Dick Exton, another ex'29-er, in Asbury Park last summer.
Vic Colby, who was with us in Hanover for the first year only, transferred to Bowdoin for a year and a half, worked in a textile mill in Franklin, N. H., for a year, and is now in the class of '31 at Worcester Tech.
A long and much appreciated letter from Bill Abbott gives us the dope on the Chicago group. As yet none of the members have shown sufficient enterprise to get into the beer racket, although no doubt some of them have been helping to subsidize it.
Fred Auer is up at McLaren Dam, Quebec, where he is on the resident engineering staff for the construction of a couple of dams and a power house. I guess the job is a long and interesting one from what he says, and he fully approves of the Liquor Commission.
Ted Selig is still in Harrisburg, Pa.
Several of the fellows got advanced degrees this June, that I know of. Don Burnham received his M.S. at Commencement, having done master's work in chemistry, while Evan Wilder got his C.E. from Thayer School. Evan's address would indicate that he is associated with the Bureau of Public Records, Washington, D. C.
