Class of 1930
Chilly winds are beginning to sweep down the valley from the already snowcovered top of Moosilauke, and by the time you get this you will almost be thinking about Christmas. We present you, therefore, the greetings of that season, and suggest that any of you who think of sending us cards pick out big ones with lots of blank space, and, enclosing photographs of your babies, if any, for our Brat File and snapshots of yourself for the file which we are gathering for the Department of Justice, fill the blank space with information about yourself and all your, if any, family.
Now, having dispensed with our Christmas Message, we proceed with the disposal of some hot June news. Gradually we catch up with you, and predict that by February we will again be making up the information which we dispense monthly with faithful and loving care.
TAIL RUMPF of the Harris Trust and Savings Bank was, in June, concentrating his efforts on "reorganizing defaulted municipalities." .... On the stationery of George D. B. Bonbright and Company, HUEY JOHNSON sends a colorful metaphor to describe the difficulty of kicking a shilling out of the stock market at that time. ... TOMMY DONOVAN, shivering before a fire in August, looked back on his summer and found it good. The letter came from Hall's Mills, East Machias, Me., but we presume by this time Tom is back at Mount Hermon. At the end of June he went to New York to correct English comprehensives for the College Boards, which he found a lucrative and pleasant experience. Everyone who writes to us seems to have run into the fast-moving WALLY WASMER, and Donovan is now a member of the "Ran-Into-Wasmer Club." The swell delegation that Tom gathered at Mount Hermon dropped off one by one toward Harvard and Yale.
HENRY KOHN AT HARVARD
"My address is not New Haven but: Institute of Biology, Divinity Avenue, Cambridge, Mass," writes HENRY KOHN SANDY MCCULLOCH records his family move to 2 Sylvester Road, Neponset, and says he is still at the Cambridge Hospital Laundry still single, etc.
Anent the graduating medics: BILL DORAN got his doctor's degree at Cornell Medical School June 7, and leaving his Gargantuan daughter Johanna (18 pounds at four months) set out with Priscilla for Kingston, Balboa, Panama, and Cartagena, etc. His '37 brother keeps him posted on Hanover Speaking of undergraduate brothers, there is quite a group in '38. JIM DUNLAP drove up with HERM SCHNEEBELI to establish Jim's young brother, Walter, and SI CHANDLER arrived to keep a fatherly eye on the first college days of his freshman brother. A young blood who admitted relationship to Russ GRAY was observed going through the matriculation process, but a boy named WATSON from Keene was very reluctant to admit any relationship to FRED. There are some others whose names escape us for the moment.
Another holdout, RANNY FAWCETT, is far from his '30 friends in Hartville, Ohio. Ranny married Dorothy Eckie (spelling?) in September, 1930, and has a daughter, Carol, who was born February 27, 1932. The family live pleasantly on one of Ranny's father's farms, a short distance from Canton, but Ranny disclaims any agricultural efforts on his own part, he having worked for the Monarch Rubber Company in Hartville since graduating and having achieved the position of credit manaser PHIL LOWER, in June, anticipated good fortune, of what kind he did not say, and hasn't since reported On a flyer advertising the merits of Featherwear ("Knocks 'em Cold!") RED HOLME sent a note of good cheer emanating from Macy's Men's Store MORT SMITH contributed a nice note with no news with his Fund ante AL MARSTERS is still holding out on the news of his legal affiliations, which he promised us this fall. ..... From the Herald Square Hotel HOWIE HEIMBACK sent greetings and a Fund ante but no information, and PAUL REAVES' communication from 33 Cedar St., Maiden, Mass., was of the same nature.
Four words ("Sorry to be late") constitute the sum total of messages from HANK EKSTROM. These came with a money order message from Concord, N. H...... En HARTWELL acknowledged the arrival of our green letter and replied in pink, lamenting the absence of Thirtymen in the immediate vicinage and announcing plans to see if 808 RIX was over in Omaha (60 miles away). Denver wasn't lonesome for Dartmouth men, but since Ed moved to Lincoln, Neb., he has mourned for the granite muscles and brains. He asks for news of VISCOUNT TOSHIMITSU MAYEDA, which, if anyone has any, we should like to have also All SPEN FOSTER could do was ten words—just like a telegram—which were nice enough in their way but didn't go far ERIC BIRMINGHAM wrote in late June of his efforts to get a Ph.D. in chemistry at Columbia while being an assistant on the staff there with the responsibility chiefly of keeping the lab students from committing suicide or manslaughter as the case might be. We hope Eric will bring us up to date when he gets this and sees how far behind we are ALEX MCFARLAND, on the letterhead of Herrick, Smith, Donald & Farley, 1 Federal St., Boston, promised news "in the near future" (June 29) HANK SALISBURY nicked his clothes allowance for the sake of the class's swell showing on the Fund, indicating that there might be some news soon, but hasn't been heard from since
A BID FOR BUSINESS
Advertisement: "The real reason why Iam writing you is so that I may obtain ashort line of space in your forthcomingnewsletter. I have been practicing law foralmost two. years and have yet to see aDartmouth man enter the door of my officesin search of anything more than freeadvice or an invitation to dinner. CHUCK SIMMONS engaged my services in the matterof a $10.00 fine which was levied againsthim for reckless driving, driving througha stop light, speeding, and various othercharges. I succeeded in having the finereduced to $2.00 and obtained a $4.00 feefrom Chuck. I feel that I owe one of thosedollars to Dartmouth, and it is for thatreason that I forward it to you herewith." —BOB MCCLORY, Gann, Secord, and Stead, 135 South LaSalle St., Chicago.
ART PETTENGILL is managing a Texaco station in a town which begins with W., and one infers it is probably in commuting distance of Stoneham, where Art lives at number 13 on a street which begins with P. More important is his engagement to a girl named Hazel, whose last name begins with L. which has been announced with date for the wedding undetermined, but Art hopes to produce the bride by the Fifth Reunion. The girl's name looks to our handwriting experts like "Luce." .... HAL BOOMA has some excuse, inasmuch as he has reported verbally on several occasions, but it is fun calling names and the ones we called Hal produced his first letter in four years. We have said before that he works for the United Shoe Machinery Corporation in Boston and, we have it on various authorities, does very well. WALT BIRNIE works for the same company at the Beverly plant, "where he is busy inventing machines." Hal says that he plays golf with Walt, who swings an impressive club, which Hal for one does not wish wrapped around his neck. There are some 230 pounds behind the Birnie drive. We took Hal and his wife and a couple of friends through the library and gave them our well practiced song-and-dance on the frescoes, which threw them for a loss
HEARD HAFFENREFFER
Our famous blackmail technique produced the expected reaction in RAY TALBOTT, who writes to refute our insinuation that he was a Travelers insurer rather than petroleum heater, which he is at the P. H. & P. Company, where he bosses at least six people. He isn't married, sees JACK KEATING every day or so, and was one of those radio listeners during the cup races who heard our CARL HAFFENREFFER dispensing "seafarin' terms" about the two boats. JACK KEATING is one-half of Keating and Keating, counselors at law, Stamford, Conn. Ray went over to Hoboken on the 21 st to see a Yale friend (he was penitent about this) sail on the Rotterdam to Bermuda and Nassau, and while running over the R's on the sailing list found "Mr. David Rubin" followed by (this order will soon be reversed) "Mrs. David Rubin" in Stateroom 341 on "C" deck, so he went hunting "and to be sure it was our Davie and his boss off on a honeymoon tour, having been married that very day." There follow some remarks about the attractiveness of Mrs. Rubin.
"Do you hear those bones arattlin'?That's TRAGLE coming out of the grave." But his excuse is that a fellow can't write a newspaper all -by himself along with the help of fifty others and think about sending dollar bills to New Hampshire. Frank is, as well informed people know, the moving force behind the leading newspaper of Reading, Pa. .... Incidentally, while treating our newspaper fraternity, it is worthy of note that BILL RICH now gets bylines for his stories in the Minneapolis Journal, "The Northwest's Greatest Newspaper." We hope to get a sample of Bill's writing for you soon To the "Ran-Into-Wasmer Club" we add the name of 808 KEENE, who contributed the swell picture of his baby for the last issue of the MAGAZINE. We propose that all Thirty fathers bring their babies to Hanover in June for photographing by one of New York's most artistic cameramen. "Wally hopes to be married this comingChristmas season," Bob writes, "sorry Ican't give you any facts about the luckygirl except that she hails from Pittsburgh.Wally spends some hurried week-endsfrom his IBS labors chasing down to thesmoky city to keep the home fires burning.He hopes to light his home fire in ForestHills." The KEENE hearth, incidentally, burns brightly at 54 Cambridge Ave., Garden City.
"I'm not a six-day bicycle racer—in fact,haven't a bicycle," writes MRS. PETE FORD from Buffalo, "but I do know that it is JACK DEAN and his bride who reside at27748 Center Ridge Road, West Dover,Ohio."
Happy New Year, too.
