Class of 1930
A 1930 "Personnel Committee" in New York is undertaking a novel function under the chairmanship of Vic BORELLA. The project arose out of one of the class dinners gathered together by PETE CALLAWAY. The membership of the committee, according to Vic's letter to all the metropolitan classmates, includes all employed members of the class of 1930 in and near New York City ex officio. Vic has a list of 1930 men "broken down" by occupations and professions. Any classmate looking for a job can get in touch with Vic by telephone (Circle 7-4902); by mail (501 Tenth Ave.), or in person, submitting a written resume of his * past experience and the type of work he seeks or would accept. Vic will then give the applicant names and addresses of the men in his particular field, who will do what they can to give him proper entree. We don't know how far Vic can go in putting Thirtymen behind the wheels of Terminal Cabs, but there ought to be a few opportunities for Thirtymen in the range with which Vic deals from riffraff to Russian generals.
HARRY DUNNING has turned up as Camden branch manager for Fuller brashes, and has established headquarters at 413 (b) Second Ave., Haddon Heights, N. J., where the winter weather largely consists of "a nasty, snarling damp sort of cold that gets right to the very roots of you." .... BUD FRENCH has admonished us that we have bandied his name around overmuch in the class columns, but the fact must nevertheless be recorded that he is secretary of the New York branch of the National League of Commission Merchants, which is one of the four big trade organizations which serve the fruit and vegetable industries. It has members all over the country, principally east of the Mississippi, and in the larger markets there are branch leagues, such as the New York branch of which our good classmate is secretary AL MARSTERS, we are told by about everybody excepting Al, is with the Federal Trade Commission in New York AL SMITH paid a call in Hanover for a touch of skiing, having left his weaker companion in a hospital in Greenfield with a case of the grippe. We took great pains to ask precisely just what he did with himself besides reading law, but for the life of us can't tell you a thing Al did tell us that 808 BOOTH is over the bar exam hurdle, but couldn't say whether our good treasurer planned to settle down to squiredom in bucolic Southhold, L. I.
Practically nobody took the hint about writing notes on Christmas cards, and those that did, such as AD RUGG, CUPE BURNS, and PHIL BASSETT, contributed no new knowledge. Only FRANK MCLAUGHLIN offered any that one could put one's teeth into, which was the fact that he had just taken a job with the Department of Justice and that a "New Year's resolution will be to write an explanatory letter." Meanwhile his address is at 82 West Irving St., Chevy Chase, Md.
It is against our principles to give much time to the boys who just send in address changes without even writing us a profane word of greeting, but we will give you a few of the items about new occupations and addresses. PRES RANDLETT, for example, formerly a state police officer, is an Internal Revenue agent with his home address at Watertown, Mass 808 MARR writes down "municipal bond statistics" as his occupation and the Ohio Municipal Advisory Counsel in Cleveland as his business address FRED HOOPER teaches general science at the South School in Watertown, Conn DUD FAUST is in the advertising department of the Chicago American. .... MILT PATTERSON is, we deduct from his business address at the Providence Journal Company, in the advertising end of the Providence Journal. . . . . DICK LORING is owner and manager of a Texaco service station in Portland, Me., and we trust not running any competition with CHARLIE AUSTIN.
DEAN WIGGIN, who manages the business affairs of that affable restaurateur, George Gitsis, was in Hanover during the Christmas holidays. We carefully wrote down and lost the name of the law firm in Manchester with which Dean works and studies Buzz WHITELAM is with the sales department of the Fisk Rubber Corporation at Chicopee Falls, living in Springfield We believe the Phillips Petroleum Company is a new racket for TED WOLF, but for all we know it may be his old Philgas in disguise. Anyway, Ted's residence address at Hemlock Road, Pompton Lakes, N. J., seems new ED VARLEY is an insurance underwriter and broker with a business address c/o Springfield Fire and Marine Insurance Company, Chicago And here is TINY TASKER in Wellesley Hills
ELT PALMER visited Hanover during the fall, having driven East from Oklahoma, where he is at work with the Gulf Refining and Development Corporation. We forget just what the name of his particular occupation is, but he is one of the men who decides where oil ought to be and that is where, more often than not, it is. His imagination just begins to operate at the ground level, and works from there downwards. He painted for us a startling picture of mountains underneath the Oklahoma plains which would make the Alps look SICK HANK SALISBURY is instructor in the department of aeronautical engineering in the College of Engineering and Architecture at the University of Minnesota. The co-ed feature of this seat of learning cramps his style This puts Hank in the bailiwick of STU SEIDL, who has recently contributed a good letter announc ing, among other things, the marriage of Doc MILLER to one Frances Fuller on Thursday, October 11. As Stu recalls, their home will be in Brooklyn EARL SELDON likewise visited Minneapolis "witha most engaging young woman fromWinona, Minn." Earl, we learn from Stu, has recently passed the Michigan state bar examinations, and will shortly start practicing with Jack Brabb '29 "The re-union next June is constantly in my mind,and weather etc., permitting, I'll be there," concludes Stu From some quarter comes the information that JIM CLARK is teaching and coaching at the Burr and Burton Seminary at Manchester, Vt Referring back to WARNER CRANE, mentioned elsewhere, we glean from authoritative quarters the information that Warner's bride was the former Peggy Van Nest and that they were married at Maplewood, Saturday, October sixth Now that we are on the New Jersey delegation, we are considering a searching party for GALBRAITH, who visited us on October 13 just before setting out for Armington Cabin. We know he couldn't possibly have survived as strenuous a life as this and must be just about congealed, now that winter has really settled down over the north woods.
THE TRAVELING TRUMPET
FRAN HORN, with his usual good luck, went to Yale in October, and four days after arriving in New Haven went to the hospital. Fran just can't keep out of hospitals in strange towns. He gravitates there just about as inevitably as some of the boys used to gravitate toward bootleggers in the course of peerading. He lost his appendix and ran into difficulties over language requirements. When seen at the Yale game, however, he had overcome all of these problems and was well set. Fran stayed at Virginia until September 1, polishing off some species of sheepskin, we presume the M.A., which he managed to do at the cost of some twenty pounds. He visited Washington a couple of times and was well treated by WIN STONE, one of the class's premier scholars. Win is now taking a course in medieval Latin at Catholic University, while teaching a full schedule at the George Washington University and doing other work at the Folger Library. LT. HAMMIE SOUTH showed Fran through the Naval Air Station at Anacostia and will be glad to do the same for any other visiting Thirtymen. The Traveling Trumpet also saw 808 RELYEA in the office of the Travelers' Insurance Company in Washington—carrying just a bit more avoirdupois than he used to carry over the Hanover paths. .... DICK SQUIRE was home in Washington from Cincinnati and joined in the entertaining of the feted Fran. JACK. HODGES also joined in the feting and "produced a very smooth date on short notice." VAN LEER was out of town, being in charge of the repairing of the Statue of Liberty in New York for Uncle Sam. This came as a surprise to us, since we expected to see pictures of Wayne polishing the Washington Monument. BERK FITZPATRICK is with one of the government departments in Washington but was hard to find. En route- to Toledo from Virginia, Fran visited author ED FROST in Nashville and learned about another volume of verse in the process of development in Ed's thinker, not to mention a projected study of the lives of the twelve apostles, using the psychology absorbed by Ed in Hanover. Landing finally in New Haven, Fran found CHICK SHERBURNE and came temporarily to rest As for WIN STONE, just mentioned above, he contributed a sprightly message of his own sometime in the dim past. He provided some of the travel data subsequently recorded by Fran and added the fact that DALE WALLACE and his bride Marguerite drifted into Washington during the spring and paid him a visit. That seems to be about all, excepting (this being the gossip column that it is) Win had a rumor that HUGH GIBBONS is planning eventually 011 theological school. The work which Win is doing in the Folger Library is snooping into the affairs of one Garrick, with the direct accusation that said Garrick was largely responsible for the change in the attitude of Shakespeare criticism which marked the latter half of the 18th century. We personally don't believe a word of it, but shall leave our mind open to conviction Here we go on and on in this large happy family and find a dusty letter from JACK HODGES himself, who is a member of the staff of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation attempting "to gather in a couple of the millions we have passed out." Things turn over so fast in Washington that, for all we know, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation may have been absorbed by the Department of Agriculture, so we had better have another up-todate report from Jack before long.
WRITE JIM IRWIN
We have been planning to tell you for a long time to sit down and write a note to JIM IRWIN, 1416 3d Ave. North, Great Falls, Montana, Jim was in the course of what promised to be a lengthy convalesence from an illness. We trust he has recuperated by this time, but why don't you write to him "just in case," and certainly he will be glad to have the letter, no matter how rosy his present health may be Back in the dim past BUD ACKLEY was the class's manure magnate, but WALT DRESSER has this responsibility at present, writing to us not so long ago on stationery of the Big "D" Fertilizer Company of Calais, Me It is too late for anybody to care now, but JOE GOLAN, SAM STAYMAN, JACK WOOSTER, PHIL PECK, HAI. BOOMA, and JACK BOWLEN among others were at the Norwich game. .... BERK DOWELL is a real estate flash, at the William A. White & Sons Company, New York. He was just as economical with information about himself in his recent letter as he was when we met him in a subway station some months ago. Berk certainly has never done any unnecessary chattering.
REUNION BREWING
MERRILL BUSH is assistant director of the Oak Lane Country Day School of Temple University, Oak Lane, Pa., with a residence address at nearby Elkins Park HAL WARREN gives a Montreal address and a "medical school occupation," which we assume makes him a medic at McGill JOE STONE, with a residence address in the Bronx, is a security broker with Hirsch, Lilienthal, and Company, 165 Broadway. .... GENE SIEGEL, who was in town recently with his wife and Scottie, is a brokerage statistician with H. G. Einstein and Company in New York and residence in Purchase, N. Y. He breeds Scotties from champion stock in odd moments STAN PITMAN is manager of a store at 907 Washington St., South Braintree, Mass., with a home at Medford Hillside.
"A hundred eighty-two days until ourFifth!" writes KEL CLOW on his Christmas card. Figure it out for yourself and start saving money so that you won't have to rob your baby's bank when June comes.
