CLASS OF 1923
Dear Metz Your appeal for news arrived yesterday, and thought I might be prompt in giving the little news that I know and can give concerning self. Endeavored to give the necessary news, and trust my statement concerning honors is not out of place.
How are you, Metz? Have often thought of you many tames and wondered many times. Believe you hold the record of twins. Is that right? Heard from Walter Rahmanop a little while ago. Do not know whether he finished medicine at McGill or not. Have seen very few Dartmouth men in our class. Trust that you receive a hearty response to your appeal for news.
Always a latchkey out for you with food and lodging if ever your trail carries you to these parts. Try it.
Sincerely, JOSEPH A. S. MILLAR (705 Asbury Ave., Asbury Park, N. J.)
As reported elsewhere by our Broadway correspondent, Jim Landauer, Joe is a leading cat and dog physician of Asbury Park, New Jersey, an attainment for which he prepared by a course of sprouts at the University of Pennsylvania veterinary department for four long years.
Dear Metz: I'm writing you to let you know of my change of address and change of position. I wrote you a few months ago from Dover, N. J., and brought my history and that of my family up-to-date.
The first of October I left the government service at Picatinny Arsenal and took a position with the Royal Baking Powder Company. I am doing chemical research at their laboratories in Brooklyn, and like the work very much. It is interesting, the people are very nice to work for and work with, and laboratory is a new one and well equipped.
When I get a little more settled, I expect to attend the '23 dinners and renew some of my old friendships.
Best regards to you and any of the boys out your way.
Very truly yours, WM. F. RICE, JR. (2449 27th St., Astoria, L. 1., N. Y.)
Dear Metz: Your request for news arrived with several bills on the first of the month, and for a minute I was afraid that your missive contained one to add to the list. The aforementioned bills were mostly for office equipment and were of staggering proportions, for I have finally been able to open up an office for the practice of medicine here in Laconia, N. H. The makers claim that all surgical instruments are nickel-plated, but judging by the price they must be solid silver.
After my second year of medicine at Dartmouth I transferred to University of Pennsylvania Medical School, along with Ed Hopkins, Colin Stewart, Jr., and Rufe Bierly. The faculty got rid of us there in June, 1926, by giving us M. D. degrees. Colin celebrated by getting married, and Hop and I by taking a trip to the West Coast. After that the three of us spent two years in internships, and then Hop got married. He had me stand 'longside to hold him up and see that he didn't stutter at the most important places. After that I dissipated by having an operation that laid me up for several weeks and delayed my work, but at last I am under way. Enough kind friends and relatives have brought their aches and pains to me to enable me to pay the first month's rent. Beyond that I can only hope.
Guess I've said enough about myself for now. Hope the other boys send in some dope, for I sure do enjoy reading what is going on in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.
Best of luck, "Russ" PEKLEY, M. D. (533 Main St., Laconia, N. H.)
Dear Truman: To take away a bit from the horrible formality of the enclosed questionnaire, I am adding these few, more personal words.
An envelope with your name and address in the corner was a reminder of days that are gone, and happy days, for I believe that you, the class, and I will agree that the years '23 spent in Hanover were the best ever.
The form I believe covers the major events in my life since graduation, although of course they could be expanded immensely. However, I believe that an elaboration on them would border on a confession—and most certainly, that would never do.
At present I am a menial, slaving for a mere pittance in the hopes of some day recovering my health, if health can be recovered. At any rate I am surely testing my physical powers by working twelve hours a day, and that after having been classified as physically unfit.
From a habit that started at the Nugget, my main form of dissipation at present is the movies. Not exceedingly strenuous, but under existing conditions, enough so.
Have seen several members of the class since graduation, but at infrequent intervals. Johnny Allen, Ralph Staley, Joe Houston, Kit Carson, and Ed Gumaer are here in Denver. Saw Art Everit, Red Carbaugh, and Ossie Holland in Kansas City. Met Bud Friedman in Milwaukee. Also had some long talks with Louis Grover when back home in Fall River this past summer. Geo. Broadley went to the tropics with me—a hectic tripbut he stayed only a short while; the last I saw or heard of him was when he passed through Barrios on his way north in 1924.
That's about all—here's hoping that the class crashes through with some news, for I have just parted with two precious pesos for theALUMNi MAGAZINE. Incidentally,let'shear all about you, Truman, along with the rest.
My best toall theclass—to their success and happiness—and a glorious Tenth-—which I'll make if I perish in the attempt. Best wish to you, Truman, and all the good luck in the world.
Sincerely, FRANK S. ALMY (1320 Grant St., Denver Colo.)
I am sure that those of us who find ourselves in Denver at any time will make it a point to look Frank up and give him a big hand. Until 1926, Frank was with the United Fruit Company at Puerto Barrios, Guatemala, and then he was forced to report to a Santa Fe, New Mexico, sanatorium. His stay there did not seem to help him, and he located at various spots that were recommended, until his stay in Denver commenced some time ago. His trouble started with malaria in the tropics. Frank is proud to report a kid brother, class of '33, at Hanover.
Dear Metz: After reading the notices credited to your name in the current issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, I remembered that I had long ago received a questionnaire which had gone unanswered. It seems from the published replies that most of those on the receiving end hesitated to open the questionnaires for fear of finding a request for payment of some damn thing or other.
I am sending my address in the vain hope that some of the former "cherubims in urbe," being well lubricated with the Yuletide spirit, will recognize the name and address and will forthwith despatch the 5's and 10's which they so hesitatingly abducted way back in the lean years of 1920 to '23. This should be very simple for the '23 class, admittedly the greatest class to ever enter Dartmouth, not to mention the most intellectual, probably went short on the market just before the crash. I am frank to say I wasn't, but am now decidedly short. But aren't we all? That's the theme song, but it takes a good guy to show the brokers how to go broke.
Going back, about twenty gallons before reunion I became attached to the Karle Lithograph Company in the fall of '24, and specialized in creating window displays, booklets, and general colored advertising, which, incidentally, nobody appreciated. I traveled more in one year than the ticket collector on a merry-go-round, and we both landed at the same place—just where we started. About that time God's Country began to have a real estate boom, so all traveling salesmen stopped traveling and went into the real estate business, giving the farmer's daughter a much needed rest. I staked out my claims with the others, and now have plenty of pretty little slips, proving that I am one of those big hearted fellows who pay taxes for the enjoyment of the rest.
After several years of hard work and other people's money, we find ourselves quite strongly entrenched in the real estate field in this locality. But beware of these real estate fellers who let you in on the ground floor. I got in on that particular floor so many times to find it only an empty loft that I now take nothing less than the basement. If you run across anybody in Chicago who has become frightened out there on the western front and wants to move into a nice little cottage with a big mortgage, let me know, for we have all the dirt.
One other experience for the "believe it or not" column is, that I have seen Dartmouth play every year but one since I left college and have yet to see them win a game. It doesn't take much to guess it has been the Yale game each year, and also the Navy game, where I sat with the other forty thousand Eskimos to learn just how comfortable one feels when he discovers the South Pole.
I hope you will have a very happy New Year, not to mention a boisterous Christmas. If you are ever in Philadelphia, remember it is controlled by the little town across the river, and come over to headquarters. With best regards to you and your ensemble,
JACK MYERS(12 No. 7th St., Camden, N. J.)
Dear Metz: The biggest social event of the season took place on Thursday night, December 18, when the Hooper-Doopers of 1923 held their annual Christmas party at the Hotel Lafayette. Since the raising of the rediscount rate and Queen Marie's visit to this country, there has never been an event equal to this party.
Notwithstanding the fiery oratory of Cy Aschenbach, the fiery gin of Dr. Ungar, the fiery jokes of Dick Kershaw and Ellis Wilner (who, having only recently returned from sojourning in Paris, told his stories in very broken English), and the presence of ExPresident Don Moore, the party was a huge success.
A small table in the center of the room was very cleverly decorated as the Dartmouth campus we used to know. Such familiar figures as Kip Couch scurrying off to go on a D. C. A. deputation, Artie Herz vociferously arguing in a corner of the campus with Professor Adams to pass him in German, and Joe Millar in deep conversation with Tim Cullen and George Zahn, were appropriately marked with signs. Unfortunately, towards the latter part of the evening, Phil Keigher tried to sit on the senior fence again, and the results were very disastrous to our decorations.
The success of this party and the thanks of the class go to Irish Flanigan, Charlie Zimmerman, and Stanley Ungar for the way in which they put the party across.
A fairly complete list of those who attended, together with their occupations, follows:
