Class of 1933

The first crisp, cool mornings of early September give rise to a nostalgic longing to return to Hanover, and the realization that with this opening letter the class of 1933 take their place as alumni-in-factleaves one with a sensation of poignant sadness.

From now on most of us will be forced to live a vicarious Hanover life, nourished by news and comment in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE and by the stories of Dartmouth athletic teams in the daily press.

And then by the time next September rears its ugly head some of our more verbose classmates will have achieved permanent notoriety as prominent batters in the "Now when I was in college" league.

THINGS REPORTORIAL

Almost immediately after Commencement there took place what from the number of representatives present might well be adjuged the first quasi-official meeting of the class of 1933. The cause for the gathering was the formal joining in holy matrimony of John Koch Smart and Miss Caroline Christy. The scene of the weding was the church of St. John's in the Wilderness, Paul Smith's, N. Y. Present were: Okie, Chapman, Hagan, Davidson, Mackey (an usher), Quinn, and your Secretary.

Hagan, subsequently removed to Rye, N. Y. (an appropriate place, one must admit), writes that he has spent some time in looking for a job but as yet has not purchased a conservative grey business suit.

Davidson from quaint old St. Albans, Vt., makes known the fact that he expects to be called at any moment to initiate the local yokels into the mysteries of the mother tongue at the far-famed Bellows Free Academy.

Vague whisperings have reached the mountain fastness of Waterbury anent the marriage of one Frank King '33, but as yet no definite denial or substantiation of this report has been forthcoming.

Manchester is said to be pumping his way up from the bottom at one of the more socially exclusive greater Boston filling stations.

Whitbeck wins the honor of being the last man in the class to be awarded a Dartmouth letter, being thus rewarded for his efforts toward helping the Hanover entry win the inter-collegiate yacht regatta.

Bob Turner, sometime Senior Fellow, returns to Hanover this year to dissect frogs and various other willing subjects for the honor and glory of the zoology department.

Dick Jackson, at one time in the not too distant past a prominent figure on the Dartmouth campus, has been engaged to instruct fair-haired Andoverians in the manifold ramifications of hockey and the classics.

Bill Hoffman will be a member of the Cannell coaching force during the coming football interlude.

Paul Wetstein has been tickling the ivories during the summer at the Hotel Rockaway, Rockaway Beach, Missouri.

A recently received letter shows a heartening and laudatory determination to do right by our class of 1933. The following quotation will, I think, show that the nobler emotions are not lacking completely in this jazz-mad (hey-hey) generation of ours:

"I hope the enclosed check won't arousein you any hopes of a forgotten inheritance, since it's merely a rather belated attempt to pay up the rest of the class tax.A desire to finish up in the proper mannerand also to get the ALUMNI MAGAZINEprompted this noble act."

Late returns from the recent question- naire show:

Roland Stevens studying medicine at the University of Rochester Bill Hitchcock "traveling more or less during the summer." .... John Black studying law at the University of Michigan Wes Beattie returning to Tuck School for another year at the Plant John Schneider connected with Martin J. Kennedy, insurance and surety bonds at 511 Fifth Ave., New York. (He adds parenthetically "found a nice brunette") Walter Libbey answers with a question, "Do youknow where I can find a job, John?" Sager writes rather fatuously, I think, "Noprospects; have companionable blue-eyedcalf on farm which father gave me ongraduating." (Calf or farm? we ask.)

.... Gates returns to the Dartmouth Medical School from the euphoniously named Coxsackie, N. Y Tallberg begins graduate study on a fellowship at Stanford University. (The subject is left to the reader's imagination.) .... Russ Danielson turns to the land and is tilling the soil at Danielson, Conn Ed Halligan enters Harvard Business School.

NEW ADDRESSES: Edward P. Staudt, Pilgrim, Mich.; Roger J. Kafka, care of Mrs. Leopold Wachtel, 1723 Lurting Ave., New York City.
