Class of 1933

Christmas cards redolent of holly and ivy and plum puddings were received from Halligan, Gibbons, Hagan, Davidson. Mackey, Okie (who insists upon retaining the sea-faring motif), Pierpont, Smart, and Max Waldsmith. Max drew his own card, which pictured a group of "D sweatered" unemployed standing in front of several dilapidated cabins. In spite of the unpretentiousness of their surroundings, the protagonists were quite merrily caroling forth an "Ay Oh Ay ... . MerryChristmas."

The matrimonial activities of this amorous class o£ 1933 threaten monthly to get the better of your Secretary. Whenever he listens with more than usually attentive ear, he can hear the fabled wedding bell tolling an end to bachelor days for some courageous classmate.

Ford Sayre and Peg Lincoln, late of Smith College, were married on December 23, somewhere in southern Connecticut.

A confirmed reader of the New York Herald social columns might about January 5 have noted the following brief, but eloquent announcement: "Mr. and Mrs.William Hoffman of Riverdale-on-Hudson, New York, announce the engagementof their daughter Miss Dorothy Edna Hoffman to Mr. Harold Francis Mackey, son ofMr. and Mrs. Francis Mackey of 300 Central Park West. Miss Hoffman was graduated from the Barnard School for Girls andis now studying music. Mr. Mackey wasgraduated from the Horace Mann Schooland from Dartmouth College. He is amember of Alpha Delta Phi fraternity andthe Sphinx senior society. He is now withthe Stock Exchange firm of Weicker andCompany."

We have also .received word of the engagement of John S. Schulte at one time with our class in Hanover.

Ken Weeman, surprisingly enough, turns up in Rochester, N. Y., under the heading-W.T. Grant Cos., Department Stores. He writes: "My prolonged study of the unemployment situation taught me one thing.... regardless of one's educational background, it is no time to get choosy aboutseeking his life-career. In fact, I realizedvery shortly that it was a question of working or else joining the already long breadline. What I am doing now may not be mysecret calling, but it is a damned good wayof earning three squares a day.

"Having been here over three months, Ifind myself much in love with Rochester.What with the zero weather and TedWard's smiling countenance it has muchof the charming atmosphere of Hanover.I see Phil Whitbeck quite often . ... atpresent he is not engaged in any moneymaking schemes. Carl Shineman is with theEastman Kodak Cos. and lives near us. Imet Em Turner once, and he seemed sounconcerned about the work problem, Igathered he was in the insurance game,which may mean almost anything.

My present capacity of fioorman entailssundry duties, from playing nursemaid toost children to attempting to learn howto be a merchant .... whatever that maybe. We are subject to transfer quite frequently, and my next letter may come fromSouth Burlap, Mo." ....

John Rockwell writes from the Lawyers Club at the University of Michigan. He tells of Walter Libbey's finally securing a job in a candy factory and of his subsequent departure for sunnier climes (California via Florida). This letter is teeming with news of members of earlier classes, but we follow the example of an older and wiser head, the 1930 secretary, and treat these jottings with arched eyebrows and snortings of disdain.

Swede Branson writes from New York: "At present, I am trying to keep my headabove water down at Cornell MedicalSchool in New York City. I certainly am noanatomist, but still I could give that nightmare of Orozco's a swell name whichwouldn't be fit to print in your estimablecolumn. I keep in shape by playing on theschool basketball team and by running afew miles each night I see Tris Metcalfe quite often. He is studying now to gointo the advertising world."

You may have remarked that your correspondent has stopped rhapsodizing about the renaissance o£ letters chez '33. There has been noticeable a sudden slump in output which will inevitably result in a decrease in the size of the 1933 class column, increased cold and snow, a probable twocent drop in the price of gold.

Oh, yes! Hagan is reported to be back in Rye, N. Y., again.

Secretary, 64 Cooke St., Waterbury, Conn.
