Trace Brownell is still at the old stand in Brooklyn. He seems to object to the stillness there and yearns for a little sociability with Dartmutters. He and Dex Davis attended the Dartmouth dinner in New York in January. It is reliably reported that some fine stories are in store for us at the Twentieth Reunion next year if Davis (M.D. not D.D.) can make it.
An official card anounces the new firm of Morgan & Lockwood, attorneys, 44 Wall St., of which Ralph W. Brown is a member.
One way to get responses from bachelor members of the class has just been discovered. If they find they are reported attending a football game with their wife they will quite promptly write a protest. At any rate Bob Bigelow claims emphatically that he is still a member of that small but select group of 1915 bachelors. It does not seem that apologies are in order, but we will express REGRETS that a mistake was made and also that it is not true.
Russ Rice is still with the construction business and cheerful about it. It's a pleasure to report one man who is not complaining about the depression. Russ has a job for the winter and hopes for more in the spring.
Freddy Frederick is our representative with General Electric. Bob Fredericks (ne Klokow) is an engineer at Hastings-on-the-Hudson, and each has been taken for the other by the Secretary on various occasions, including the last issue of this MAGAZINE. Both are good 'ISERS and do not demand apologies.
Beardsley Ruml has recently been made treasurer of R. H. Macy & Cos. Congratulations to both.
H. T. Rich is at 44 Whitehall St., New York City, as head of the firm of Vandegrift & Cos., custom house brokers.
This is to acknowledge all cards and letters of appreciation received during the holiday season from 'isers. They were all appreciated and may serve to keep up the writer's courage for another issue or more. It's hard to make news, and it is equally hard to get some of you fellows to report it. Remember after 1934 is 1935 and our 20th class reunion. Even the thought of it ought to revive a little of the old class spirit in every one of you.
Opie Horton has started this new year with one of his typical letters, which if quoted in full would be of much interest, but perhaps too long for our space in this column. His chief concern appears to be because "they are thinking of dredging theNissequogue River, which will spoil thebest stretch of clam-digging water this sideof Porpoise Channel." From Horton's report Long Island must be almost a sportsman's paradise.
From far away Antwerp, Mac Hale pays his class dues for another year to keep his name on the subscription list of this MAGAZINE. Too bad more of the locals have not the same spirit. Then too it's Alumni Fund time again. Don't say you know not where to send your contribution! Dick Clarke, 84 William St., New York City, will be more than glad to receipt for it.
One of the readers of this MAGAZINE is Lawrence Durgin, the 15-year-old son of Russ Durgin, center of the American School basketball team at Tokyo, Japan, and a hopeful for Dartmouth about 1936. Our greetings to you and your parents, also the Waughs and the Mitsuis.
Dan Daniell writes from the "Banana Belt," where the temperature was below zero for a stretch of 63 hours! In spite of the big wave of Democracy he is still a Republican. Congratulations, Dan, I had come to feel I was the only one left.
Charlie Comiskey says last word from Athens, Greece, was that Jimmie Killeen was Ford's agent there. Wonder if he has Insull on his customer list?
