Class of 1932
Your Secretary having lost interest in everything but the most peaceful kind of slumber at the hour of two, Sunday morning, January 6, he was loath to answer an insistent telephone call from an impatient classmate, who, it is reported, merely desired to enter another candidate for the Class Baby contest. My informant did not get the man's name, but I should like to announce for his benefit, and that of all telephone-minded stay-out-all-nights that this office has rigorous hours—at least on Sunday mornings, early. There being over a hundred and thirty lads of our class in or about this city, I should hesitate to accuse summarily any one of them. I don't think, incidentally, the Dekes had anything to do with it this time.
An announcement from the parents of Miss Evelyn Ruth Kymer bears the tidings of her marriage to one Douglas Kelly. The wedding was in Bloomfield, on December 1. There is some confusion existing as to the business affiliations of Dick Olmsted and Ronny Olmstead. The files show that both of them are working for Niles & Miles accountants, 165 Broadway, New York! This is probably less a coincidence than an error in the records—a pardonable one, however, for the information came as pertaining merely to R. W. Olmstead, the initials of both men being the same, you will note. At any rate this difficulty must be ironed out immediately, for Jack Chesterman has written a letter committing himself to a wedding present for Dick and his bride, Dean Laycock's daughter, if he can only find out what their present address is. It is fairly well established, I believe, that Ronny is working at Niles & Niles, for Dutch Litzenberger reported last month seeing him in Denver. He had been doing some fancy auditing for public service companies in the Southwest. Chesterman, after presenting his poser, followed up with the news that Hal Chinlund is also in an auditing firm in New York; also that Jack himself received a degree in electrical engineering from M. I. T. in 1934, took a job with the New Jersey Bell Telephone Co. in August, and married Miss Dorothy Damm in October. The couple extend an invitation to any '32ers to look them up at 112 Westfield Ave., Elizabeth, N. J.
Whit Daniels sent a Christmas card from Pau, bearing a handsome photograph of a skier zipping down one of the slopes of the Basses Pyrenees with almost Schniebs-like technique. According to Whit, Howie Sargeant was expected to spend part of his Christmas vacation at Pau.
Irving Whitney, who was '32 during his freshman year, but stayed out a season and finished with '33, says that Fred Orner was graduated with distinction from Harvard Business School last spring, and is now with the home office of S. H. Kress Co. in New York.
NEW YORK CLASS DINNER BULLETIN
For the first time since late last spring the New York tribe members assembled January 11 at the Dartmouth Club for dinner. The attendance, in view of the fact that 130 notices were presumably sent out, was not as large as might fulfill a press agent's dream. It was gratifying, however, to note among those attending, the holdout crew from Bellevue Medical School, namely Kramer, Roe, Roberts, and Lieberthal, none of whom before had found it possible to leave their cadaverish study halls for a reunion. After the dinner, Ed McNicol, non-union movie operator but still one of the best in the game, flashed some of the best sports reels this side of Grantland Rice. Besides some memorable shots such as the 33-33 tie (with whom, please?) and Morton's famous rugby kick in the Cornell game, they showed some skiing pictures which made this mild sport look lethal enough to cause any mother to take her son out of college. Apparently they no longer wait for snow to appear in the Vale of Tempe before unracking their skis in earnest. It's pine needles now, and while vou're still on your feet the speed is terrific. Horizontally, the sport definitely lacks enticement Anyway, the following men were at the dinner: Findlay, Marcus, Sey Jacobson, Fendrich, Zimmerman, J., Zimmerman, G., Chandler, Wilkin, Ed Miller, Marsh, Hazen, Mackenzie, Harper, Art Allen, Corbett, Bladworth, McNicol, Owsley, and five others who forgot to sign the attendance slip.
Ronny Olmstead offered gossip to the effect that Dave Larrabee's duties as the dean of freshmen at the University of Illinois are not so serious that they can't be forgotten once in a while for old time's sake when there is a classmate in Urbana. In Boston, Drew has been doing considerable agitating towards a ski expedition to Jobildunk, and Pete Knight has recovered sufficiently from his eye injury to be running the better trails of the White Mountains. Ronny.was in Hanover for Thanksgiving, burning the well-known huile deminuit with Pete Sawyer and Jim Brown. The former was on his way to Medford, Wis., to take up his duties with the U. S. Forestry Service, and the latter was just traveling the beaten path to Hanover again, being schoolmaster in Enfield. Johnny Nutter, according to late reports, has given up the big sax for the more interesting job of stage directing the Radio CityMusic Hall Rockettes.
On top of the late stew about the Class Baby, Hazen tells me that Jeffery has sired another girl-child. In case older sister Babs isn't finally awarded the much discussed honor, it's our opinion that Jaff's family deserves an unusually fine consolation prize.
The following, being in their last year at Bellevue, will be interning next winter: Irv Kramer and Add Roe at King's County Hospital in Brooklyn, Joe Roberts at Morrisania City Hospital, and Milt Lieberthal at the Presbyterian Hospital. It is rumored in medical circles, they tell me, that Yudicky is rooming with Joe Bennett at Rush Medical in Chicago.
We hate to treat matrimonial matter disrespectfully, but all we could find out from Don Marcus about Art Moreau's status was that he was married to a redheaded girl who answers to the name of Andree.
Brandy Marsh is now in the research de partment of the Crowell Publishing Co. at 250 Park Ave., residing at the New Rochelle Y. M. C. A. Outside of his departmental gleanings he has discoverd that Keller is attending the New School for Social Research and living at 26 Bank St. Boldt is still with the Times, and Don Richardson is serving subpoenas for the Liberty Mutual. From Ed Miller I find out that Jim Fletcher, of the same organization, has been transferred to Boston.
Among other marriages that did not come to the notice of our orange blossom department is that of Bill Peck. It was last June, to Miss Star Fowler of New York. Bill ls in the employ of the American Optical Co., temporarily stationed, of all places, in Hanover at the physiological optics research lab in the Physics Building.
Darby Findlay is at the home office of the N. Y. Life Insurance Co., Bob Fendrich has recently changed his business affiliations to the Bankers Trust Co., and your correspondent may now be found during bankers' hours at 90 Broad St., New York City, trying to suggest ways of employing the money of the clients of Robert E. Rich & Co., investment counselors.
Add Roe is the only one so far whom I've heard mention a Carnival trip to Hanover, although I have no doubt that Pettengil has been thinking of nothing else since late September.
Secretary, 424 East 52d St., New York
