Class of 1935
For the first time our column appears with another one after it and a kind of funny feeling comes to me that no longer are we merely being dragged in the wake of years of Dartmouth alumni, but have made a wake of our own. We are no longer the last boat, and the process has begun which will gradually end with the imperceptible acceptance of '35 into the ranks of the older classes. Do you think you can get back for your FIFTIETH? Can't you see the starry-eyed youth of 1986 regarding you with mild tolerance?
Your harassed secretary is in Munich watchfully waiting for these things to pop that we were promised when the Olympics were over, but so far nothing startling is happening but hordes of Germans touristing with chocolate and Baedeker all over Austria, and those who stay at home busy wondering how much longer they are going to have to serve in the army. It is of course understood that I see these things only through the grimy panes of the Staatsbibliotek. Who mentioned the Hofbrau!
The news this month, therefore, is somewhat patchy. No end of fellows told me they were coming over this summer and I've seen familiar names in the register at the American Express. Owen Fairweather was factotum on a Holland American liner and then was courier for a group of college students. He was at Chicago Law in the winter and writes truly enough ". . . . have enjoyed it very much. It is entirelydifferent in attitude, and when I once conquered my childish college boy desire tohave a good time things went fine and Ihad surprising luck."
Halsey Loder left his card at Trinity when he missed me there during August. Curt Lamorey has gone back to the States. I got a card from him in Havana, Cuba— what you might call a roundabout way home from Paris! Grant Herman came over in July, wandered around a bit and settled in Berlin for the Games. They were, by the way, absolutely phenomenal. Cannon-ball Owens, der schnellste Mann der Welt,Riesenschritt Woodruff, who really looked as if he were running in slow motion, and the crowd which jammed the great Sportfeld. The air was surcharged with excitement and you found yourself expecting a new world's record in every race.
Os Skinner, who was falt-boating in Austria this summer, and who graced the Hanover plain some eight years before us, has news for those who deigned to walk on Webster Avenue. Herb Shuttleworth has graduated from M. I. T. in Business and Engineering Administration—which is quite a mouthful to put after your name— and is working for the Mohawk Carpet Mills in Amsterdam, N. Y. "Fergie Hub bellworks for General Electric in Schenectady..... Bob Lovegrove, we hear, is growingserious-minded in Bridgeport, Conn., mustache and all Bob Collins and GuyBriggs should have finished at HarvardBusiness School. Larry Sommer is marriedand works in Albany, N. Y. Norry Nimsand Barbara Wood announced their engagement last year."
This seems to start the matrimonial section. Harry Knott was married in July at Meriden, Conn, to Beverly Valorie Belair of that town. Also in July the marriage of Dick Lauterbach and Elizabeth Stuart Ward well was announced. The announcement is more than usually interesting:
Thursday, the twenty-fifth of JulyOne thousand, nine hundred and thirty-five
Moscow, U. S. S. R.
Wille Ogg has also taken the fatal step. A June marriage was announced for him with Frances Ware McGarry at Grafton, Massachusetts. Also in June, Frank Hermes and Marietta Jordan at Larchmont, N. Y.
A very interesting letter from Johnny Jewett who spent half of the summer in New York learning what makes vital statistics possible, second half vacation, and is now ensconced in Harvard Medical School for the last stretch. He's the only one at Harvard. Frank Van Kirk, Dick Potter, Bill Mumler and Bill Butts are at Rush in Chicago; Ralph Seeley and Cliff Mills at Cornell in N. Y.; Harry Marchmont-Robinson ("who turned in his Lincoln 12 for a newLincoln-'Zipper' has had to take an awfulkidding about driving a cheap overgrownFord") and Johnny Morrison are going to Penn; Ted O'Brien and Bob Ross at P 8c S (Columbia); Jim Higgins and Bob Quimby at McGill; Julie Bromberg at Northwestern. Kal Black, who had to drop back a year because of an unusually obstreperous appendix siege, finishes in Hanover next year, but did very well in the first one.
"Dick Meyers is still with the J. P.Coats Thread Company with an office onthe steenty-steenth floor of the EmpireState Bldg. Ted Harbaugh has been doingsomething miraculous at Michigan Law. AlBrush has been a changed man this year.He seems to be quite in love .... wentall the way to Florida at Christmas timejust to see the young lady (same one atCommencement and Carnival) and she isvery nice too if you remember Andhe has landed an excellent job with General Motors for next year. As a tnatter offact, a good many of the fellows seem settled. Put Kingsbury and John Harvey willbe working for Haskins and Sells (accounting—N. Y.); Johnny Wallace with an investment firm in Boston; John A. Wallace—dunno; R. P. Howell Jr.—some kind ofbanking or investment company, somewhere (that's definite, eh?); Bud Belsky tolaw school. Ken Webster works for hisfather's company—L. W. Webster in Randolph, Vt. Ofay Allen is POSTMASTERat Chelsea, Vt., good old Ofay. Don't knowhow it happened as I believe he's studyinglaw on the side. Dick Eberhart, after atough time loith infantile paralysis lastsummer is now working at a bank in N. Y.after quitting in Real Estate. It is rumoredthat Bob Ferry is to marry Harriet Butts,no less than the sister of Willy, sometimewithin the next year. Harry Reynolds is atHarvard Law and still talking Wayne Geib, Art Wertheim and Jim Shonfelt are starting their second year at Jefferson Med. in Philadelphia. Dick Schneider is doing the same at Penn. Phil Scullyis holding down a soft job as InsuranceAgent in Boston between trips to Hamp." Dick Upton's book, Revolutionary NewHampshire, which he wrote during the year of his Senior Fellowship at Dartmouth has just been completed. The Dartmouth Bulletin reads: "This very interesting picture of Colonial life in the 18th centuryand lively study of the conflicting forcesunderlying the struggle for independencein New Hampshire is one of the most impressive tangible products of the SeniorFellowships to date."
ODDS BODKINS: Charlie Tobey is a secretary in Congress, Harry McNamer investigates for the Equitable Life Assurance in Chicago. Jimmy Latimer is selling land in Upper Darby, Pa. Bob Lovegrove is running a "Physician-Dentist Service," whatever that is, in Hartford. Dick Carpenter is teaching in the Johnstown High School, Johnstown, N. Y. Bob McClean is promoting something at 11 West 42 St., N. Y.—l once had a dentist at that number and I shall never forget it.—Pedro Espaillat has been confined to his bed and according to his brother, will be for some time to come. He would probably appreciate a line from anyone who knew himcare of Mrs. G. Shaeffer, 355 Riverside Drive, N. Y. C. Hah! I find that John A. Wallace is with the New Jersey Bell Tel. Cos. in Westfield. Vic Luneborg is a "junior engineer in training" in Shreveport, La.
Fred Haley, candy king from Tacoma, has just sailed on the Statendam for home. We met while busily filming the Trooping of the Color by King Edward VIII in London last June. He has been all over Europe with Morrie Quinlan, who used to teach English at Hanover.
Next Month, being November, is visitor's day and is the chance for all you mugs to make dirty cracks at your secretary, poor guy, or at any other members of our "genmutliche Gesellschaft." Since there isn't time to send such virulence to me, will you please write squibs in proper typed form so that they can be used directly as manuscript and send them to
GEORGE H. COLTON 57 Warrington Place, E. Orange, N. J.
whose committee will pass on relative artistic merit among other things. The deadline is one of Bob Roundey's Steel Cables, and can't be broken—in New Yorkby or before October 5.
