Class of 1932
No report of Ben Jeffery's wedding in June had come to my ears until yesterday, when Hosmer stepped into town on his way down to the docks, hoping to find a berth to Shanghai or some place. Anyway Ben was married on June 28 to Miss Dorothy Hamel of Syracuse, Mike Cardozo and Bob Harrison attending as ushers, and Jack Hamel, the bride's brother, as best man. After the wedding Jeff and his bride left for a short honeymoon jaunt to the Adirondacks and then toured to the West Coast. They are now living in Detroit, to the best of my knowledge. Jeff works in the Champion Spark Plug factory.
At this writing no replies to the class letter which was sent out with the October issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE have come back, but I have at least run across two fellows who claim they have mailed theirs. The rub comes in the fact that yr. sec'y has forsaken his allegiance to the Middle West, is living now in New York, working for Wood, Struthers, and Co., and no doubt great sheafs of postcards and letters are being forwarded at this moment.
But while I have received only one direct communication this month I have come into actual contact with a considerable portion of the class, either in Hanover over the Norwich game, or here in the city. Among those who attended the opening of college and then went their respective ways were Ed Judd, who is studying medicine at Harvard; Dick Hazen, now going to Columbia for a civil engineering course; Al Young, who is attending the MercerVeasley Law School in Newark; Bob Hosmer, still in search of high adventure; Whip Walser, who didn't reveal any of his plans, as I remember. Bill Morton was there (scouting for Yale, they say). The Bully is now with the firm of Chase, Harris, Forbes, and at lunch yesterday said he was being moved to Chicago in a week. Ping Ferry came up to see about moving his library down to Choate School, and to reminisce over his recent experiences on the Continent. With this contingent, several of whom I probably missed, and all those enrolled at Thayer, Tuck, and Medical Schools, Hanover looked very little changed as to personnel from last spring. There was, of course, a large freshman class on hand, who did not for once overwhelm the sophomores in the football rush.
