Class of 1933

After a distinctly unproductive period there has become evident to eager observers what may be the beginning of a glorious renaissance in the art of letterwriting among the members of the class of 1933. Two particularly noteworthy examples of this renewed vigor have come to light in the persons of Gordon Ingram and Phil Byers.

Gordon's letter was so full of news that this struggling young Secretary nearly swooned with delight and surprise. Included with his letter were several clippings from the Hanover Gazette and TheDartmouth. All members of the class are hereby served notice that any clippings pertaining in any way to the class of 1933 will be gratefully received as material for a scrap-book which we started recently and whose blank pages are literally screaming for appropriate fodder.

Excerpts from Gordon's letter: "BillHoffman, running a laundry in Norwich asa sideline to coaching, is residing therewith Mrs. Bill (Hoffman, of course. Ed. note), nee Mary Doris (Molly) Day. DickGoldthwaite spent the summer in Alaskawith the Bradford Washburn expedition,climbing up and down molehills, and isnow studying geology at Harvard.

Jim Pimper is still after the elusivehours. Phil Bill is seen dashing about townnow and then, but I don't know as it isanything to worry about.

"Now for a few generalities—The Nuggetis noisier than ever—Saia's is the best eatingplace as far as waitresses are concernedand the leaves have turned, but I can't getpoetic about it because it means that ourfamous Hanover 'dry cold' is coming.

"I am busy pushing a pencil for the localfirm of architects—Wells, Hudson, andGranger."

Phil Byers adds some pertinent and valuable information: "I am at the School ofMedicine, University of Pennsylvania, inPhiladelphia, and living at 4111 WalnutSt. with my new wife, not that I have everhad any other, but the first one is stillnews. She was formerly Miss Marye FrancesCammack of Dallas, Texas. The nuptialswere performed on the twenty-seventh ofJune at the Little Church Around theCorner (now the Prosperity Chuch. Ed. note), New York. While I am busy plugging away at one of the many dead mendown here, Lee Eckels and John Meek arediscussing the Sacco-Vanzetti case at theLaw School. Ray Ferris is at M.I. T.
