Class of 1932
Gazette from Ferry, this column's only current correspondent, apparently:
"I suppose that nowhere in these broadstates is there any more apparent the stultifying effect of this let's-all-pull-togetherfellows movement, than it is here in Detroit. Very dull indeed, with a completeabsence of any individuality of action orthought, for which it was never notedanyway. It's to be regretted that an anarchical state can't provide as much safetyas it can excitement and originality. Butto get around to the class of Thirty-two, Ifind that Tom Lott is getting Contracts,Bonds, and Notes, and particularly Torts,into a corner at Michigan Law School.Never having called on your scribe fromthe moment of graduation, I assume thatthe aristocratic attitude demanded of thelaw has already made its way into his life.
"At last reports Louie Heavenrich wasvending insurance Sixteen Different KindsCount 'Em Sixteen to almost everyone except Hanoverites. Said reports also have itthat he is doing very well.
"Bill Van Dusen is working in S. S.Kresge's nickel and dime store here in Deiroit. Nothing much has been heard fromhim, either, so I presume his time is morethan adequately taken up.
"Eddie Eisenberg, ex-32, who is one ofChrysler's more promising young engineers, tells me that his roommate, BillKuhn, is this year finishing medical schoolsomewhere in Kansas. The only other news,and probably no news to you, is about McCall's marriage. Someone stopped in to seehim—he is now living, preposterouslyenough, in Niles, Mich—and reportedback to me that the family life was a joyto look on.
"I am at present in the employ of thePackard Motor Car Company. All daylong I drive test cars around their extensive proving ground at UtiCa, Mich. Ostensibly I am learning something about acar's insides, but really I am acquiringmostly the fine art of tucking off for a fewwinks at eighty miles an hour. If it particularly troubles you or any of my otheradmirers to know that I am working steadily, be reassured in the fact that the job isat best temporary—l mean that's the bestpart of it."
The incoming mail department has been discouragingly idle, biting its nails fretfully, and wondering whether it will have to send out cards to every member of the class prodding them into action. An expensive and beautiful record book sits here at headquarters gathering dust from disuse, when every week or so it should be including entries of news and future interest. Except for a few changes in address, which were supplied by the Alumni Records Office, most of the following items are only rumors needful of substantiation.
On October 21 the weddings of Al Keyworth and Jack Hall took place. The former married Miss Leontine Briggs of Hartford, and the latter Miss Barbara Smith of Rochester. Both weddings, I believe, took place in these respective towns.

Ad Roe was seen hurrying from Bellevue Hospital in New York to catch an evening train to the suburbs. Kramer, Lieberthal, and one other member of the class whose name escapes me are studying at the hospital with him. Ad said that Fisher and Crankshaw had an apartment in the thirties somewhere. It might be suggested to all those living in the metropolitan district that they leave their addresses for the mailing list kept at the Dartmouth Club for sending notices concerning class dinners, etc. There is going to be one of these on a not-far-off date, probably in between the Princeton and Yale games. New Yorkers also ought to see about availing themselves of the special game train service.
