The wedding season is settling down in real earnest, and its arrival in Hanover was duly observed by BRUD CROSIER at the St. Thomas' Church, Saturday, April 7, at which time he was married to Miss Marjorie Jones of Hanover. Your Secretary fulfilled all promises in adding to the confusion by mixing up the friends and relatives of the bride and groom, functioning without benefit of carnation-in-buttonhole until almost the last minute, when in a great aroma of florist shop, SAVORY AVERY RAUBE, best man, arrived with this official badge of usherdom. Ave did his part nicely, and Brud answered all of the questions without a quaver. At the close of the ceremony he proceeded with his bride out of the church at a leisurely pace hardly appropriate for an ex-track-captain.
In observance of the occasion, the Chi Phi house had been opened, with Mr. and Mrs. FRANK RYDER to keep things on a high plane. AVE, BILL FLETCHER, and WARNER CRANE had a reunion which they enjoyed especially, in the absence of any rosycheeked undergrads, whose presence already gives returning Thirtymen an oldgrad morbidity. Also on the scene was MORT COLLINS, who is now covering practically all of Connecticut for Educator Crackers. Mort, in the course of a brief call after the wedding, left a supply of tasty Educators, which will last us, we are sure, for weeks. We commend them to you.
It should be said for the sake of the records with regard to the above-mentioned blessed event that Marjorie is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leon H. Jones, and that the couple will be established at North Adams, where Brud will continue his contribution to the manufacture of Blackinton Worsteds and Crosier's Supercreamed Ice Cream—lt's Delicious. In connection with the above-mentioned Ryders, it should be noted that Frank is back at his old task with the Telephone Company. In the course of the ice cream and cake after the wedding, no information could be gleaned from Fletcher, Crane, and Raube, the latter being obsessed with the responsibility of speeding the Crosiers' departure.
Apropos of nothing in particular, unless it might be MORT COLLINS, JIM DUNLAP is back at the Harvard Business School. After all of our remaining Thirtyteer scholars have departed from academic cloisters in June, Jim will remain hard at work in Camr bridge until August, at which time he will have a brief respite before returning to the grind in September.
There are no first-hand accounts yet received of the marriage in Oak Parle, 111., on Monday, April a, of Jane, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Holmer Daniel Sayre, to SAMUEL ALBERT ADAMS. The couple departed shortly thereafter for Bermuda.
Another blessed event, which should have been treated more in detail had the information been at hand, was the MAGENAU-BRUNEL imbroglio on February 10. We have at hand now a clipping from the Manchester Union which, in addition to its references to the attractive bride, snapdragons, mossy crepe, orchids, and aquamarine blue, mentions the fact that WILLIAM FENTON of New Haven, Conn., was an usher. The bride graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 1930. After a wedding trip to New York the couple returned to Concord, where, as we all know, Gene is indispensable to the architectural activities of the CWA for New Hampshire and Vermont.
Fenton, in a great nostalgia for Hanover and clean snow and skiing, wrote from Westport, Conn., March 10, with references to the MAGENAU-BRUNEL wedding. Bill and Gene roomed together in Crosby during junior year. Bill had a rendezvous with Ranny Hobbs in the North Station en route to Concord, and the smell of pitch and ski wax which prevaded the station almost diverted Bill from nuptial errands to snowfields. "Rannie iswriting a book," Bill reports, "and I willnot divulge its contents, but from theamount of work which has gone into itsomething choice should emerge."
A certain gleam in the eyes of DICK BUTTERFIELD and Genevieve Benezet during a recent visit to Hanover gave suspicions o£ possible plans for the June season, before Dick resumes his connection with Mr. Larson's architectural office in Hanover the first of July. All this, however, is just a Winchellian speculation and should not be taken too seriously.
As a matter of fact, all of this weddingbell stuff is just a build-up for a bit of free advertising for your Secretary. If any of you honeymooners would like a neatly furnished apartment on Park St. in Hanover or a cute little brick house on Elm St. in Norwich, the mildest expression of interest will produce voluminous and lyrical descriptions of either establishment. Through an overlap of leases we find ourselves proprietor of both establishments for July and August, and offer you your choice.
IN the event that some of you may not read the ALUMNI MAGAZINE from cover to cover, we call your attention to an item in "The Books by Dartmouth Men" department of the April issue which records our own WIN HATCH as the author of "Sexuality of Allomyces Arbuscula Butler."
About all that is left now is the item gleaned in New York that BRAD CARNELL is teaching at the Albany Business College, which we understand is operated by his father. We hesitate to picture the whimsies that probably find their way into the instruction of Brad's pupils.
On March 8, which is nowhere near our birthday, a postcard was mailed to us from Hanover, Kans., saying, "Happy Birthday,if it is your birthday, and greetings pomHanover.—E. E. H. '30." The writer could be none other than ED HARTWELL.
And one other item which has been gathered in addition to the usual batch of unadorned address changes is the activities of ART SHURTS, ARNO VOGT, and RED SCHWARTZ in the organization of a Dartmouth club in New London. According to our informant Arno is recovering from an operation. Having graduated from the Michigan Law School, he will take the Connecticut bar exams in June.
We don't like to give much time to Thirtymen who contribute nothing but their addresses, but we will give ART BROWN a break by informing his correspondents, if any, that his new address is 920 Burton Ave., Cincinnati, Ohio . . . . Likewise, anyone who is hopeful enough to write to GOMER WATERMAN may address him at 120 Harrison St., Elyria, Ohio .... If you want to felicitate Arno Vogt on his convalescence, communications may be sent to 94 Truman St., New London, Conn. .... JEREMIAH, the hockey season now being closed, is back at 256 Broadway, Somerville, Mass. . . . The first flash from HANK BISHOP in a long time indicates that he is an attorney with an office at 1114 Majestic Building, Detroit, Mich. His residence is at 14909 Washburn Ave Wis CLARK of the Travelers Insurance Company now has his residence establishment at 105 Bloomfield Ave., Hartford, Conn BILL LAWSON is manager of Clark, Chapin & Bushnell, Inc., at 114 North Main St., Port Chester, N. Y. His residence is at 22 Sound View St., Port Chester.
We almost forgot. AL MARSTERS, a trifle plumper then when he used to dance down the sidelines for a touchdown, was in Hanover during the month with an extra special candidate for admission to next year's freshman class.
We respectfully call your attention to the Alumni Fund.
NOTE ON THE RISE IN POPULATION: A red, wrinkled, astoundingly unbeautiful male child put in its appearance at the Hanover hospital April 22 and was burdened by its self-willed mother with the name Albert Inskip Dickerson Jr., over its father's dead body.
