Class of 1930

Thanks to minature reunions at Alumni Fund meetings in Boston and New York, and at the Boston alumni dinner March 11, when Thirtymen filled their table and the "overflow" table, there are a few items to report. Dean Wiggin, Fred Scribner, and John French—all of Carl Haffenreffer's Committee of Fourteen—were on hand for the Alumni Fund meeting in Boston March 10, with Carl. The Class rang in more men on these parties than any other class and got quite a hand for capitalizing opportunities. In New York, Dave Ruben, Nelse Rockefeller, Pete Callaway and Vic Borella were present. Dave, it was pointed out, is quite the social worker—"Father of the department of unmarried mothers," the boys say. He has a tremendous repertoire of adventures. Nelse got away from his various activities, Pete temporarily set aside the interests of Conde Nast, and Vic forgot, for the moment, Yellow Cabs, to participate in the Alumni Fund parley. (Vic didn't forget for long, though. We were dodging from the rain into a Checker cab afterwards, glad to reach shelter, when Vic was heard shouting a warning in a horrified voice. . . . We escaped into the safety and luxury of a Yellow Cab.) Vic is a personnel man, with no few anecdotes of his own.

The only item of news gleaned at the New York party was from Pete Callaway —that Buck Steers is to marry on April 29 a girl named Hannah whose last name Pete thinks might be "Lea." We hope for more details.

While on the matrimonial items, there is the clipping which Cliff Vogt sends saying it is the only item he has found in three years. It says that "tomorrow evening in Cleveland will be solemnized themarriage of Miss Alice Virginia Beidler,daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Howard TaitBeidler, Shaker Boulevard, Shaker Heights,and Edward B. Neff, son of Prof. FrankHoward Neff, Richmond road, SouthEuclid, the nuptial ceremony held inTrinity Cathedral." The item was undated. How about a date, one of you Shaker Heights?

From this point transition is easy into Dick Bowlen's news. Dick tells about it himself:

17 Phillips Street,Wollaston, Mass.,February 13, 1933.

Dear Al:After waiting months I find now that Ido have a little news for you. So—a letter.

The chief piece of news (and the realreason for the letter) is that on February12 Mr. and Mrs. Arthur D. Quimby ofNewtonville, Mass., announced the engagement of their daughter, Miss GWENYTTE SPENCER QUIMBY, to myself. The bride-tobe graduated from Skidmore in 1931. Thewedding will take place in the Fall.

Now with that off my mind, I can thinkof a few other items.

BILL FLETCHER is with Carter's Ink andapparently doing fine. He is assistant toone of their sales managers. His old roommate, BRUD CROSIER, as perhaps you'veheard, is at Harvard Business School. Hehasn't changed a bit. He's rooming at 33Chase.

Have seen quite a bit of GILLY GILBERT, who also remains as noisy as ever. He tellsme that JACK FITZPATRICK is trying to coaxhim off to Europe again. OTE HUMPHREY is living in Lowell. BILL STEARNS, after being trained in Boston, has returned to Manchester to take up banking.

GEORGE CLARE has been working in theBoston Garden, but I hear now has somesort of a brokerage job. The other day Ihad lunch with PETE LENT, who is workingin Wollaston as a draftsman.

I see a great deal of CHARLIE RAYMOND. He's been waiting all winter for good skiingand got it when he went up Washingtona week ago.

I'm working here in Quincy as assistantto the president of the Norfolk Paint andVarnish Company and like it very much.My job is looking after the finances. Thereare several other Dartmouth fellows here—Charlie Norton '24, Dick Denby '3l, BillMiller '3l, and last but not least, Ed Carroll '5O, who is now in Salem. Ed apparently has given up the sea and is doing anexcellent job selling paint.More news another time.

Boston, March 11, around a couple oftables: Pete Lillard, George Lord, John French, Art Shurts, Jack Fitzpatrick, Charlie Raymond, Fred Scribner, Ray Bernhardt, and your scribe. Up in the organ loft: Russ Gray.

Gossip emanating from the above cau-cus: (1) Bill Blanchard has twins; (a) Placak is graduating from the Harvard Medical School this year, will then be in the Children's Hospital in Boston for six months, and finally will go to the Massachusetts General Hospital for two years' surgery interneship; (3) Hub Christman is to become an interne at the Henry Ford Hospital (not a garage) in Detroit; and (4) Wade Safford is rounding out a novel career-cycle at the Union Theological Seminary, after successively going from crack scholarship in biology to the instruction of French and Latin somewhere up in Canada.

At Carnival: (1) Earl Seldon at the Phi Psi house—no report; (2) Bob Walker, invisible, no report; (3) Ad Rugg, good report on his graduate work at Columbia and other activities; (4) Karl Rodi, at the hockey rink, with a girl—of course, no report at that point; (5) Brad Carnell, arriving on Main Street, girl, fur coat, no report, invisible from that point on; and (5) Stan Osgood, second hand report that he was to be home in Berlin for a month before returning to his S. S. Kresge store in Poughkeepsie.

From Charlie Raymond, a list of those present at his last Boston luncheon, adding the following items:

DON HIGHT is skiing on the D. O. C. ofBoston team and placed third in a downhill race at Franconia last week. I've takenup the art seriously and went up to Pinkham Notch a couple weeks ago when therewasn't any snow around here—which ismost of the time.

I was in New York last week-end andvisited with 808 WALKER, who is withA. Iselin and Company. Perhaps you sawhim in Hanover at Carnival time. WIN STONE is teaching and studying at GeorgeWashington University and hopes to spendnext year at Harvard.

Saw JACK "Old Gold" CRAWFORD'S namein the log book at the Groton cabin theother day and I guess he's a regular customer.

CHARLIE RAYMOND.

Then there was Kisty's Reunion. Kisevalter corraled Merit White, Tony Weinstein and George Simpson, that old Thayer School fraternity, got them into an automobile, and Shanghaied them to Hanover along about Washington's Birthday time. Kisty is working every other week in the Bronx Board of Trade. George is working an apprenticeship in an engineering office in New York. No report on the others. They had a picture of Griff Roberts' infant which we will print for you some time.

Speaking of these benefactors of the race like Griff, there is Julio Herrera, who cabled to Godfather Carl von Haffenreffer of the arrival of a six-pounder March a. Julio is with the Chase bank in Paris.

And the Allyns. Mary Elizabeth and A 1 announce Mary Ann, March 8.

That is all excepting for some of the neat white sheets from the Alumni Records Office... . Exciting, like: "J. Warren Knapp111, 7_j Genesee Street, Hornell, N. Y." and "Jerome W. Howard, 8106 St. Paul Avenue,Detroit, Mich." . . . Also "Henry W. Salisbury, 16 Chauncy Street, Cambridge,Mass." . . .Think of it—could you ever believe it of these fellows?

Bob Noeltner is music arranger for Keit-Engel, Inc., in New York, living out at Mt. Vernon. . . . Porter Haskell gives a new residence at go Holden Green, Cambridge, business in Somerville, and occupation "sales." . . . And Chuck Faye, the Western Pacific freight magnate, with his business in San Francisco and a residence at 6391 Hillegass Avenue, Oakland. . . .

Gene Magenau, the M.I.T. student, writing a "business" (what does this mean?) address at 491 Boylston Street, Boston, and apartment at 17 Forsythe Street.

Finally "Paul R. Alexander. . . . 'Lost.' . . . Mail returned from all addresses."

Dana Evarts Low, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Evarts Low Jr., has now attained to the age and stature of more than three months. We somehow took it for granted that everyone knew about it by this time. Imagine our surprise to hear from his father that Dana has been searching the MAGAZINE monthly for the announcement of his birth, last December 5. Here it is, Dana.
