Class of 1930
The New Year has begun with a good momentum in the consummation of the HAFFENREFFER-Huffard nuptials, January 5, and the announcement of similar events of a blessed nature. The event is of such recent history at this writing that no detailed account from witnesses has come in.
Here's another: Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Julius Seith announce the marriage of their daughter, Flavia Arline, to Mr. JOHN SHERMAN MARSH JR. on Saturday, December 16, at Lakewood, Ohio. At home after the first of January; 15724 Summit Court, Lakewood.
From the Thirtyteer Chicago Bureau (H.8.C.) comes a clipping announcing the engagement of EDWARD F. HAMM JR. to Miss Joy Fairman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wilson Fairman of Winnetka, Ill. June will witness the event. The clipping continues in the following details: "MissFairman and Mr. Hamm have known eachother since they went to school togetherat the North Shore Country Day School.Since those days, Miss Fairman studied atLes Fougeres, Switzerland, returning tomake her debut. After that she went toRome, where she has studied music for thelast two years, making her operatic debutthis winter in 'The Bartered Bride/ pro-duced by the American Opera Society."
The Christmas card of Bernice and CARLL BUHLER carries the suffix "and PeterCarll—born December 11, 1933."
Continuing in this happy vein, we have the announcement from DICK BUTTERFIELD that he has become engaged to Miss Genevieve Benezet, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis P. Benezet of Manchester. Dick was in Hanover during the sub-zero weather of the Christmas holidays, when everyone else was frozen too stiff to move, skiing with his fiancee. He will get his B.F.A. from Yale in June as a reward for his extensive architectural studies. It would be fine all around if he should come back to Hanover and assist Mr. Larson in developing the architectural beauties of the campus.
There is an incidental reference in a letter from BUD FRENCH to new ties hanging over the head of SHAW COLE. It appears that the old Simons and French fruiter is off again. Bud writes as follows on December 20: "Two weeks from today I shall besailing on the good ship Manhattan, witha friend from Hood River, Oregon. Thegreater part of my time will probably bespent with the Simons offices in GreatBritain, but I also expect to visit the principal markets in France, Belgium, Holland,Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway,Finland, and Poland, returning to U.S.A.sometime in April.—Unfortunately, I shall have to miss CARL HAFFENREFFER'S and SHAW COLE'S weddings, the latter scheduled for late March.—Bumped into WALLY BLAKEY the other day in the elevator, andwe had lunch together the next day. He isgoing over Borden's books just two floorsbelow."
A couple more nuptial items and we are through with this department.—The Honorable and Mrs. Charles I. Pettingell announce the marriage of their daughter, Dorothy Nash, to JOHN FLETCHER RICH, Esquire, Saturday, December 23, in Amesbury, Mass.
DICK PARKER is in the grip of change. After working since graduation with the Telephone Company in Chicago, he is going to get married on February 10 to Gladys Anne Burns, and in the fall will enter the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago with a view to archaeology in the Near East as a life work. Brother Parker is certainly not in a rut.
Before changing to another key we will remain in this matrimonial atmosphere long enough to hark back to HAFFENREFFER'S election as chairman of the Rhode Island Association of Boat and Yacht Builders and Repairers, and second vice-president of the National Association of B. & Y. B. & R., as a sort of prelude to his January experience. It was while in Washington for consultation with the Brain Trust that Carl wrote his valedictory letter to the Class Secretary before the experience of becoming a changed man. Simply in order to write it formally into the records for the sake of future generations, the facts in the case are that Mr. and Mrs. John Brabson Huffard announce the marriage of their daughter, Carolyn Balmer, to Mr. CARL WILLIAM HAFFENREFFER on Friday evening, January 5, at Christ Church, Manhasset, Long Island.
From DICK PARKER comes the news that 808 WHITTLESEY has got a raise—in thesetimes—at the Plimpton Press, and has become a rabid golfer.—HAßßY DUNNING reports arrival in the California sun, writing on the letterhead of Ecksol Corporation of American, San Francisco Branch, carrying his own title as a sales representative. He is impressed by tire activity of Dartmouth alumni in those parts. The first person he saw after his boat pulled into the dock was CHUCK FAYE, who had come down to greet the Dunnings on their arrival. JOHNNY HAHN, who is working with International Business Machines, was encountered at the Yale-Dartmouth gridgraph reports.
JOE GOLAN, impelled by the New Year's resolution to overcome his correspondence delinquencies, writes a good long letter. He fell heir to the reins of the Cin6 department of Eastman Kodak last May. "It is mightyinteresting work, balancing productionschedules with cost budgets, with personnel problems, with N R A codes, with production engineering, with quality production, etc., and still keeping employees frommuttering reservations behind my backfor a nice warm seat for me in the northeast corner of Hades." Joe has also recently been elected vice-president of the Foreman's Club, which organization of Kodak executives gives dinners at which nationally known speakers lecture. Joe and Carol toured New England during the summer and observed ACE DRESSER in his native haunts. "Since Ace gave up flirtingwith the angels under the guise of anarmy airman, he has retired to Calais tobe a gentleman farmer and amateur radiobroadcaster," Joe reports. "GREG SWARTHOUT assembled some ex-college footballersto form a pro team that did exceptionallywell out here this fall. PAUL SHANLEY witha determined loyalty to Gulf Refining stillmaintains that Will Rogers has one of thebest programs on the air (adv.) Ihaven't seen PAUL FORD of Socony lately tohear this claim disputed." Joe concludes, bragging about the way he keeps his weight down to twenty pounds below his graduation figure, urging us to steer Dartmouth men who are headed his way to him, and ending with the benediction "Happy freshmen, in only four years their education willbegin."
From JOE PLACAK, traveling medico, a picture of the Mosque Ste. Sophie in Constantinople, and his foreign address, which is c/o Thomas Cooke, 1 Berkeley St., London.
CHARLIE AUSTIN comes out of his uncommunicative spell of three years to report from Portland, Me., that he is still plugging along for the Texas Company. He saw WIN DURGIN at a charity ball in December, this being his only encounter with a Thirtyman in Maine.
CHARLIE WIDMAYER comes back from Washington with the news that WAYNE VAN LEER belongs to the forces of the C W A as an engineer, at present engaged on the project of a public swimming pool; that DICK SQUIRE is in Cincinnati as engineering adviser for a department store; and that WIN STONE is a very high powered pedagogue at George Washington University, where, green instructor though he is, he teaches Chaucer and philology to seniors and graduate students. He has had an article accepted for that esoteric publication, P.M.L.A.
PETE LILLARD brought up one of his Tabor Academy charges for an examination at our famous eye clinic, and spent such parts of the vacation as weather permitted, skiing. For diversion on a quiet evening he tried to burn the C. & G. house. When your Secretary, a village fireman, arrived on the scene, Pete was pretty crestfallen, succeeding only in toasting a patch of wallpaper and destroying the contents of a wastebasket.
The executive committee of the class has been trying to assemble a quorum for its second annual meeting in New York. In the course of the correspondence on this subject we have followed HERM SCHNEE-W.LI s wanderings up and down the Atlantic seaboard and have traced FRAN HORN'S journey from Toledo back to University, wginia. Fran saw TIEDTKE in Toledo during the holidays. PETE CALLAWAY wrote to lerald the arrival of a Conde Nast colt-ague in Hanover in an effort to beguile e Hanover Inn into some advertising in vogue, Vanity Fair, House and Garden, and American Golfer. This colleague, a pleasant fcHow full of Conde Nast esprit decorps, reports the good Callaway as breez"ig along beautifully with Cond<§ Nast and a present enjoying (this is the word)a position as directing magnate for hotel, dude ranch, and minor travel advertising. JEREMIAH, after some months out of communication, shows up in Philadelphia, once again in the circles of professional hockey, this time with the Philadelphia Arrows. He covers lots of ground in the Eastern states and Canadian provinces. 808 BOOTH submits his annual financial report as treasurer along with New Year's greetings, and NELSON ROCKEFELLER again extends gracious hospitality to the committee. MCINNES, whose activities with the Erie Railroad are now centered in Hornell, N. Y„ regrets that New York City is too far away. JOHN FRENCH hides out.
That is about all excepting for the address changes. The boys who send in their addresses without a word of good cheer for ye Secretary should be frowned upon, but here are a few items, nevertheless: Benedict JACK RICH, lawyer, is "at home" at 136 Bidwell Parkway, Bulfalo, while his legal activities take place at 505 Iroquois Building SHELLY STARK, still silent, has been tracked down to a joint office with his mother at 30 Church St., New York City, with the assistance of a telephone book ....
