Class of 1930

We have resolved to discontinue the loose references to "blessed events," in the mild sense of marriages or engagements, having been called to task on this subject several times and being pretty sick of it ourself, but, to continue in the genre, there is the clipping which. BROWNIE sent to us about KEN KULL'S wedding on July third to Barbara Nash, daughter of Mrs. L. E. Nash of Wisconsin Rapids. A very glamorous picture of the bride accompanied the newspaper account. She attended Pine Manor, the University of Wisconsin, and the American Academy of Art in Chicago. Earl Seldon reports that the Kulls stopped in Detroit on their wedding trip. BROWNIE'S ailing pins kept him from running the show for Ken, as per schedule.

CHARLIE BUHLER hasn't seen any Thirtymen in so long that he has forgotten what they look like, but writes,"I am still holding my own with the N. Y. Tel. Co. and,like everyone else, living in hopes for thefuture."

WARREN PARISH was in Hanover for a half hour this fall, but we missed him. He later wrote of seeing PLACAK off for Europe.

BILL BLANCHARD writes to lay claim to the first set of Thirtyteer male twins, born February 8, 1933. We feel that Bill has a pretty safe claim. "Saw J. G. CHENEY and NORM MCGRATH in Buffalo," Bill writes, "and ran into WALLY BLAKEY in London,Ontario. All bearing up well."

Gradually we are closing in on Blakey and McGrath. Blakey called here September 20 en route back to Nashua from the World's Fair. He reported the encounter with Blanchard in Ontario. He also called on WADE SAFFORD at Pickering College, Newmarket, Ontario, where Wade is teaching the modern languages and going to the University of Toronto on the side. Other Blakey items were that HANK EKSTROM is winner of the New Hampshire golf championship this year for the third time; that WALLY WASMER was functioning in a big way at the Fair, exhibiting the business 'machines which his company manufactures; and that JOHNNY BISHOP is finishing at the Harvard Dental School this year.

As for McGrath, he sends news that Cheney and he are both bearing up well in Buffalo, Cheney selling insurance and Norm working for J. K. Kahle Foods, Inc.

JOE GOLAN is going to write a "good letter" just as soon as he gets himself a desk. "Since I last saw you," he writes, "twothings of importance have come my way.First, I was given complete charge of themotion picture field production unit atKodak Park. And, second (in chronological order) I got married. During the summer I saw WALT DRESSER, JIM CLARK, HEINIE SWARTHOUT, PAUL SHANLEY, and GEORGE FREDERICKSON." Joe's address is 369 Magee Ave., Rochester, N. Y.

MILT SHULTZ is pretty bored with eating, drinking, sleeping, and working in Reading, Pa., but he is looking forward to a bright spot at the Penn game. Not only for Milt's sake do we hope that this spot will be bright.

ED CONKLIN has been in the Hartford Hospital three times in the last year. The only good that came from these sojourns apparently was the pleasure of having an examination by DR. HANK BIRGF,, who is spending several months in the Pathology Laboratory. To Hank fell the task of surveying the Conklin appendix, which we hope, for Hank's sake, was an extraordinary one. Ed sends a new address for himself at 77 Lancaster Road, West Hartford, Conn.

Russ COLBY gives us the option of using his address at West Boxford, Mass., or his new Cambridge address at 21 Forest St. He is going to be working at the Harvard Graduate School for his M.A. this year. He goes to Harvard after a summer on the farm; milking cows, pitching hay, hoeing corn, "Yes, and doing other little tasks" which he blushes to mention.

DR. JOHN T. SMITH of the U. S. Navysends his subscription from Fort Ontario, Oswego, N. Y., saying that Commander-inChief Roosevelt still supplies medical attention to the forest army through the Navy Medical Corps. It appears that Jack might work into a position with the Swiss Navy if he stays in the woods much longer with the C.C. C. He is doing surgery for the Western New York State Zone, but promises not to operate on any Thirtymen who show up at Fort Ontario looking for a bed.

KELLY RICHARDS writes that he is endeavoring to lose his amateur standing as a photographer in Weston, W. Va.

PETE LILLARD anticipates his second year at Tabor as even more enjoyable than the first. As the brothers of FRED WATSON and Russ GRAY have joined those of SI CHANDLER and BILL STEARNS at Tabor, the enrollment includes some familiar names and Pete hopes to see something of the elder brothers during the year. "Si Chandlersays we'll have some sons of Thirtymen," he writes, "but I am not sure that I knowjust what he meant."

Any Thirtymen who are looking for HERM SCHNEEBELI will find him at both the Penn and Princeton games this fall. Herm came across very nicely with a letter after the recent public plea. His next assignment is to be that of a company salesman in a territory as yet unannounced.

If BILL BASSETT has any gas pumps at his Chevrolet-Oldsmobile Sales and Service Garage at Bridgewater, Mass., he had better install Gulf products before Schneebeli arrives. "I have seen considerable of RED DOHERTY," Bill reports, "and, if you do notalready know that he is employed by thegreat Commonwealth of Massachusetts,you have a news item. Personally, I believethat he is laying deep plans to becomegovernor." MIKE JUST writes spasmodically —I believe he is changing his address from St. Louis to Detroit—although present details are still lacking.—'"As you may havenoted from the letterhead, I am in theautomobile business and have been forsome time. Things are better considerably,so we are beginning to become cheerfulagain."

The campaign for magazine subscriptions drew forth a pretty copious collection of contributions, most of them being rather sketchy in content. There is ARCH CLARK, for example. Arch gives a new address at 235 Collins St., Hartford, Conn., and restricts his further comments to the following succinct note: "Married Janet FormanSeptember 9, 1933."

Then there is GEORGE MOSHER, who has never given us much of a break, but finally contributes the information that he is "still plugging along, making little progress but having one fine time of it. I amstill with Champion Coated Paper Company for which I left college."

PODGE HARTMAN accompanies a kindly and encouraging word with the news that he was admitted to the Massachusetts bar last April and is still with Sherburne, Powers, and Needham in Boston.

HERB CHASE thoughtfully sent along a copy of the formal announcement of his wedding, previously reported on -in these columns with inadequate details. To put the details on record we quote the announcement:

"Mr. and Mrs. Frank E. Allen requestthe honor of your presence at the marriageof their daughter Marjorie Thomson to MR. HERBERT E. CHASE on Saturday afternoon, September second, 1933, at fouro'clock, at their home, 111 Park St., Lynn,Mass."

MILT FLEISCHMAN writes: "Epstein andI are supersaturated with law—exams comeon Friday the 13th of October." It is too bad that this announcement comes too late for all Thirtymen to hold their fingers crossed on Friday the 13th.

It took our news letter to waken POOCH MEYER to the fact that fall is here. Pooch is assistant buyer of linen at Macy's—a new job—and is ready to advise any Thirtymen or prospective Thirtywomen concerning trousseaus. Pooch discovered JESS LICHTER selling—'"or trying to, anyway"—buttons to the Macy notions buyer. Jess wrote us a letter, but devoted the entire communication to describing a clipping from a Socialist paper about violations of NRA codes, particularly at Jake's filling station in Lebanon, N. H. Jess was also interested in confirming the fact that a Dartmouth Alma Mater song quoted by Parker in the WorldTelegram was a complete hoax. We found all of this interesting but dreadfully irrelevant—would have much preferred to have Jess tell us about buttons.

Another new address from AL SMITH-123 Waverly Place, Apartment 8C, New York. Al had seen HERB PARKER (still golfing) and passes on the report that "HANK EKSTROM is still sullenly seeking solacesoliciting service for Haskins and Sells(accountants). WALLY BLAKEY is there also."

GENE ZAGAT writes, "Am still on nationaladvertising staff of the Times and specializing in photogravure advertising. See Dr.Gallup survey re our picture-mindedness.I believe SHELLY STARK'S working with hismother in their advertising business. HEIMBACH seems to have a grand personnel control job at Macy's He tells me that Schuldenfrei '31, K. MEYER, and R. MORRILL areprospering under the same management.I dragged CHARLIE RAUCH and BEN FINCH down to an O'Brien rally. I'm afraidthey're remaining staunch Republicans."

SANDY MCCULLOCH wrote that he expected to be in Hanover for the Norwich game, but we didn't see him here. "GEORGE CLARE lost his dad in May or June," Sandy writes. "He's back with his uncle in thebrokerage game."

Last month we wrote that GEORGE TUNNICLIEF might be almost anywhere, but we are now glad to report that George is still safely 'at the Aluminum Club in New Kensington, Pa. "Was in Chicago a fewweeks ago," George writes, "and saw several Dartmouth men of other classes. Heardindirectly that MICKEY EMRICH is engagedto a charming young lady, but I've forgotten both her name and the date of thewedding."

Fortunately, through the thoughtfulness of a Dartmouth '08 man in Rockford, Ill., we are able to supply all the missing facts about Mickey's new affiliation, which is not merely an engagement but a wedding. We quote the Chicago Daily News as follows: "The wedding of Louise FarsonClabaugh, daughter of Mr. arid Mrs. Hinton G. Clabaugh of Hubbard Woods, and MILTON STUART EMRICH, son of Mr. andMrs. George L. Emrich of Glencoe, is taking place this evening in the Clabaughhome. The Rev. E. Ashley Gerhard, pastorof Christ Episcopal church, Winnetka, isofficiating. The bride is a graduate ofSmith College, and Mr. Emrich was graduated from Dartmouth."

Mickey's doings are pretty well reported on. ED HOLMES likewise undertook to see that Thirtymen should not be left uninformed. Ed sends a clipping from the "daily bank gossip sheet" announcing the wedding and passing along congratulations and best wishes. "Doing the same oldthing," Ed writes for himself. "Did youknow that FRITZ BRUNNER is father of alittle girl named Judith Ann, born August19? BOB MCCLORY drops in quite oftenhe's a big lawyer now!"

Now that we are getting into items of this sort, we might as well place on record the complete details of MAX HORWITT'S marriage, which run as follows:

"Mr. and Mrs. Lazarus Levine announcethe marriage of their daughter, Frances, to MR. MAX KENNETH HORWITT, Sunday,September 3, 1933, New Haven, Conn."

The Hanover Gazette of October 5 carried the announcement of the engagement of Miss Marjorie Mary Jones to MR. GEORGE DAVID CROSIER of North Adams, Mass. Of course we of the Hanover delegation knew that this was brewing.

HARRY DUNNING, who has appeared recently in our blessed events column, sent us this California address before embarking on his adventure of October 10. The address is Box 1245, San Francisco, not giving really a great deal of information about the prospective street and number.

FRED HOLDEN, concerning whom roundabout flashes have trickled in from time to time, now gives the first-hand report on himself as working with the First of Boston Corporation at 100 Broadway, New York, where for that matter he has been since the summer of 1930.

RAY BERNHARDT wrote late in September, still enthusiastic about an auto trip around a circuit extending south through Washington and Charleston and west to Chicago. In Cleveland he found DANNY LOESER, whom he reports as one of Cleveland's young and coming attorneys. He also reported that LEE STURMAN, who graduated from Harvard Law School last June, has already passed his bar examinations and is to practice in Rochester. Ray has a cousin in the freshman class this fall.

Among the pedagogues, TOM DONOVAN is back at Mt. Hermon School, and AL HAYES, in our first crop of Ph.D.'s with his Princeton degree of last June, has a job at the Williston Junior School in Easthampton, Mass., although his main job will be teaching English in the Upper School. He hopes to make the Cornell game.

HANK EMBREE, the perennial scholar, writes that the Cap and Gown has called him once again and he is entering upon a course of graduate study at the University of Chicago, hoping ultimately to obtain the Ph.D. in English. Apparently he is deserting the lumber business. The Embrees spent the Labor Day week-end with the Kulls in Wisconsin. Hank ran into PHIL DAKEN not long ago, the latter having quit the show business and planning to open a dress salon in Madison. As for Hank himself, he reports that "what little has goneon is of practically no importance. My carwas stolen about six weeks ago by a coupleof guys who intended to hold up a fewplaces with it. They ran up against a policesquad in the middle of one of their escapades and very thoughtfully managed toget said car riddled with bullets."

TED TOBEY'S vacation, in the course of which he called at Hanover, was cut short when work caught up with him, according to a recent note. He staged a small reunion one Saturday evening with JOE GUILFOY, "who is still in Manchester dividing histime between his father's office and theRockingham race track," says Tobey.

HERB MANDEVILLE is surrounded by Cornell men at the International Business Machine Corporation in Endicott, N. Y. His address is 1502 Main St.

HARRY CASLER we are frowning upon. He wrote a short letter liberally besprinkled with underlined uses of the word "cheery," a buggy ride for your Secretary. We trust that the absence of this bright word is observed in these columns. As for Harry himself, he writes from the New York HeraldTribune: "To employ a questionable metaphor, the prattboy's status has improved toa point whereby he might easily qualify astowel-swinger. Pretty parallel, don't youthinkl Anyway, for your own information,he has a finger-nail hold on the secondrung of the ladder .... Whenever youhave trouble filling space in the '30 column,you might prod your subtle pen into thesilent ribs of one J. FRANK TRAGLE, whenlast heard from of Reading, Pa., but forall the New York contingent a soul departed."

Tragle, however, has been found. BILL JESSUP was in Hanover for the Norwich game in the course of one of his impulsive expeditions. Bill apparently came to Hanover instead of staying home to sulk about the failure of Tragle to pay a visit to Long Island. Frank had expected to take one of the "long week-ends" which alternate with the other week-ends on which he works, Saturday and Sunday, reporting for his newspaper.

ART SHURTS writes that his new address is that of P. Hall Shurts & Son, realtors, 309 State St., New London, Conn. "As youprobably know," he writes, "after graduation I went with the Firemen's Fund Insurance Company at their branch office inBoston, being an underwriter in the NewJersey department, the idea being to learnsomething of the fire insurance business before going in with dad. I resigned my position the first of May and went to Baltimore,Md., with the U. S. F. & G. for four months'training in the casualty lines. I am nowback in the home town, where I shall belocated for some time. The new job ispromising, so I am pretty well satisfiedwith things in general. Inasmuch as we arein a central position between New York andBoston, I hope to see a good many of the1930 brigade on their way to the big cities.... Ran into GEORGE PARKHURST in Baltimore and understand he is now locatedwith some law firm there. ARNO VOGT isstill at Michigan studying law, and RED SCHWARTZ is in business here with hisfather . ... I expect to drive the kidbrother up to school this next Monday, andI hope to see you for a chat."—He did not, however, show up.

HANK SALISBURY gives his new address at 1911 East 31st St., Baltimore, where he is employed by General Aviation as a "lowly engineer." "Just read in a Reserve newsbulletin that HAM SOUTH is in charge ofMarine Reserves at Anacostia," Hank adds.

ED FROST has been improving his time by studying and writing a volume of poetry, which is finished and ready for a crack at the publishers.—At this point we should mention the firm faith that we have that all '30 authors will send copies of their published works promptly. We certainly want to know about them and should like to pass them along to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE for review, seeing that they ultimately rest in the library.

Since the first of October BOB BOOTH has had a residence at 35 Fifth Ave. That's all we know about Bob's recent activities.

FRAN HORN, that writer from exotic addresses, now writes from the University of Virginia, "Box 1143, c/o Dr. Swineford." This is Fran's annual letter to bring us up to date. We have been good and have held off from quoting any letters in full, hoping to please the editors of the MAGAZINE by not appropriating too much space. We do, however, want to quote a few excerpts from Fran's letter. A year ago he was recovering from a combination of diseases, including malaria, dysentery, and jaundice, at the Beirut Hospital, and, during the convalescence, sat outside the Hospital with "the beautiful Mediterranean spreading out before me and the cedar-coveredmountains of the Lebanons behind me." This is the first man we have ever known who actually saw a cedar. "One ofthe greatest pleasures of returning toEgypt," Fran writes, "was to find HUGH GIBBONS on hand .... Last year broughtnothing new in the way of excitement. Thepolitical situation was fairly quiet, onlyone attempt being made on the life of theprime minister and the leader of the opposition being clubbed but once. Thesoldiers with their steel helmets, shields(to defend themselves against stones), andguns, so much in evidence the other twoyears, were conspicuous by their absence.The British army still sent tank corpsdown the main street now and then just tolet the natives know that, while Egypt isan independent country, (?) John Bull andTom Atkins were still on the scene. Incidentally, if you want some fun, try toconduct a class when twenty-five to fiftyheavy tanks are going down a paved streettwenty-five yards from your classroom."

Fran left Gibbons to hold the fort for Dartmouth at Cairo and started for home via Morocco and Spain. WIN STONE and WAYNE VAN LEER blew into Paris on Bastille Day and settled down to make a week of it with Fran. "I had a difficult time keeping Win away from the bibliophiles andbookstalls, and keeping Van away fromvarious tours of Sweet Briar students .... STONE, who has been teaching at GeorgeWashington University, and studying Anglo-Saxon, Gothic, Old Norse, etc., on theside, had made a last minute decision toget away from the books for a couple ofmonths, and to accompany Van Leer (whowas a gentleman of leisure by necessity, butwho had cleaned up in the market in theJune rise) on a little jaunt in Europe.The three of us, accompanied by AL LESLIE one night, did our best to help the Frenchcelebrate their Fourth of July. Al, incidentally, turned his rifle team experience inHanover to good account, by winningnumerous bottles of wine (the quality ofwhich I cannot vouch for) by shootingcorks out of popguns at little bottles at ashooting gallery. Al is in Paris now studying some more medicine before returningto interne at Mt. Sinai Hospital in NewYork.

"Walking around Versailles on a Sundaywhen the fountains were playing, and,consequently, everybody and his brotherwere in the gardens, we ran into ED WARREN. He was in Paris on a short vacationtrip to see his parents (and, judging by ahurried trip by air to Berlin, someone elseof considerable importance!). We had dinner with Ed one evening and had the pleasure of meeting his most delightful parents

"I left Win and Van, who were off toBarcelona, and sailed July 21 ... . Arriving in New York, after having been awayfrom the homeland for three years, wasquite a thrill .... Dartmouth Club .... FRANK. RATH showed up and we chewed thefat for awhile. Frank had just returnedfrom a business trip to Paris, purchasingmerchandise for his father's business, whichhe enjoys very much, he said ....

"For the past two weeks I've been diggingin down here . ... I have four courses inEnglish literature and a thesis and am hoping to get my M.A. in June."

We had the pleasure of a September visit from the Frenches, who came over from Woodstock just a day or so before pulling out for Cambridge. Sorry to miss John III.

And now, by various trains of thought, we come back to Haffy & Huffy, that happy couple, who are going to be married about the fourth of January in New York and will then set out for Fran Horn's Egypt for their wedding trip. They came down and had tea with us after the Norwich game, accompanied by Si Chandler, Carolyn's sister, and a very nicely housebroken Harvard man. The Pecks were over from Glens Falls for the week-end, and we had a very pleasant little reunion. We were much impressed, withal. There are good feelings all around because Carolyn was much taken with our small dog.
