Class of 1929

We were soundly rebuked the other day by fat Daddy Bing Carter for having failed to give notice of the latest Carter product —Janet, who seems worthy in every way of Ann, the Acrobat. We might also say that the Carters have a home in Newton Center, a small early Colonial, a red cocker spaniel, and a two-car garage fully occupied. One of the cars belong to the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co. and is used by Mr. Carter in his capacity as an assistant superintendent, in charge of twenty stores.

From the Coast, the "Vox Clamantis in Los Angeles" says that Steve Balkam, far afield from his native haunts, is with W. T. Grant Co.; and that Wally Wallace is with Barker Bros.; Danny Luten is located in, or near by, San Francisco.

Thanks to Saw Kier, we have the following good items from his fraternity dele- gation publication:

Rex Stollmeyer, writing from Montreal: "Well, since leaving Hanover, I was inBoston for a year and then returned to theold tropical home in Trinidad for anothertwo and a half years, working part of thetime with my dad and then in the stockand bond business. Last fall, I was offeredthe job of assistant trade commissioner forthe West Indies, Eastern Group, in Canada,and accepted. Before coming to MontrealI attended the Trinidad and Tobago boothat the annual Toronto Exhibition. HereI have been located since last September.

"You might be interested to know thatI have given up the state of single-blessedness. The young lady hails from the islandhome—, no, not a high brown, for we dohave some whites in the island.

"This town has always had an attractionfor the boys, and so I hope that the nexttime any of them are up this way they willbe sure to give me a ring. ..."

Ken Page was married to Miss Helen Bracewell of Chicago on May 14, 1932.

Johnnie Thompson writes—"After threemonths in the general training school ofthe Chesapeake and Potomac TelephoneCo. in Washington, I was transferred toBaltimore to take my place in the accounting department. After about half a year,in which I did numberless varieties ofroutine accounting jobs, I was transferredto the chief accountants staff, which is mypresent status. My work is all staff work,and because of its variety and generalityis unusually interesting. The assignmentsthat I have been given consist of specialstudies, short and long term budgets of thecompany's revenues and expenses, andstudies of operating results."

Wally Willard is in Hartford with a firm of public accountants.

Walt Wilson writes— ". . . I was marriedlast September and am able to report thatthings are still going well. Mrs. Wilsonwishes to join me in saying that anybrother will always find a welcome in ourhome. I am working for a concern makingmetal window casements, by name HopesWindows, Inc. At present our business,like nearly all others, is terrible. However,we are hoping for the best. So far we havehad only a 25% cut. . .

Lew Schuh has become manager of the Washington office of the Southeastern Industrial Loan Corporation, 1425 Eye St., N. W., Washington, D. C. He writes—"I find the work intensely fascinating, albeitthe responsibility rather heavy. Of course,not the least of the pleasure attendantupon this position is being back in myhome city. Since Arleene and I felt thiswould be our last move, we have under-taken to build a house, taking advantageof the depression with masons eager towork for five dollars a day instead of theerstwhile seventeen. Our home is nearingcompletion, and we expect to be in occupancy within two weeks. The addresswill be 6525 Ridgewood Ave., Chevy Chase,Md "

And to top off the above valuable contributions we have the following excerpt from a recent letter from Saw Kier: . Iwas married on November iS to KatherineStewart of Butler, Pa., and formerlyVassar '30. Two other '29ers were amongthe chief celebrants, namely, JohnnieHowland, who came from Worcester toofficiate as best man, and Ken Page, whotunneled the snow drifts from Chicago.Ken and his wife arrived too late to makethe rehearsal dinner, but in time for Kento act as usher. There was also a largeDartmouth attendance from other classes,which evidenced itself at the Union Station by emitting Wah-Who-Wahs andIndian yells in profusion. I am also informed that the gathering adjourned toPittsburgh's only remaining speakeasyafter we left, and resolved itself into aregular Dartmouth bull session. Kay andI had a most enjoyable trip, sailing fromNew York on the Munargo for Nassau,Miami, and Havana."

Quoting from the San Francisco Chronicle ". . . He then drew a gun and orderedOdell (the bank manager) to lead him tothe first cage, where Blyth Adams, teller,2901 Green St., and Miss Patricia Shreve,stenographer, were working.

" 'Don't make any false moves,' therobber warned Odell, digging him in theribs with a revolver. 'I'd just as soon bumpyou off as not.'

"When Odell walked with the man tothe cage the robber made the threeemployees lie down on the floor and leisurelyhelped himself to all the currency withinreach."

Next month we hope we will have a good report to make on the class dinner scheduled for next Saturday, February n.

From Rumford, Me., in answer to our urgent invitation to the dinner, Long Tom Maynard wrote, in part. ..." Hence I cannot make the trip. But my spirit will bethere—all six feet six of it, and if you heara bit of a yodel it will be jolly me, up inMaine, a-calling hogs for the glory ofthe feast."
