Class of 1932
The wedding of John Clark and Rhoda Shaw of Manchester and New Boston, N. H., took place October 3 at the same church in Milford, N. H., in which the groom's parents, John A. Clark 'OB and Mrs. Clark, were married. The best man and an usher on that occasion, John R. McLane '07 and Charles Woodworth '07, were present at John's wedding, as well as the following from his own class: Ed Marks, John Keller, John Swenson, and Bob Ryan. The ushers were: Charlie Moore '25, Larry Shirley '29, Ping Ferry '32, and Alec Clark '38. Your Secretary had the honor of being best man. The couple will be at home soon at 418 South Lee St., Alexandria, Va.
Marve Chandler, who seems to have the rare knack of discovering weddings of classmates which never otherwise come to my attention, keeps up a perfect score so far this year by notifying me of the marriage on September 25 of Sarepta Mertina Goldsmith and Jack Mcßae. They will be at home after November 1 at 4005 Chowen Ave. South, Minneapolis.
On August 23 the Boston Herald carried the announcement of the engagement of Miss Marjorie Delano Robinson of Plainfield, N. J., and Littleton, N. H., to Larry Collins.

So were Sargeant and Tucker Alex Christie became a father in September—details as to date, sex, and size unavailable at this writing. ....

In connection with the mention of these last three now seasoned veterans of the bar, I think it is appropriate to clear up what probably amounts to a mystery with most of you—that is, why my address appears at the top of this column as Soldiers Field. The plain truth is that I'm at Harvard Law School, trying hard to pit my business-worn mind and faculties against the smartness of the recent college class of '36; in addition to which my roommate here at the Business School is none other than Dick Hazen, who after two years of graduate engineering work at Columbia and two years of work in the New York office of the West Virginia Pulp & Paper Co., has entered the Engineering School at Harvard for a year of specialization in sanitary engineering.
The Alumni Records Office has sent me notices recently of four men who are teaching this fall: Dick Allen, teaching French at the Farmington (Conn.) High School; Clarence Willey, in the department of psychology at Norwich: Charlie Odegaard at Radcliffe (also finishing up with his doctor's degree requirements at Harvard): and Charlie Moritz, in the department of zoology at the University of Idaho (presumably teaching—the notice doesn't specify).
Gene Catron is at the Yale Law School.
Don Gilmore works with the Barta Press, which handles printed advertising, in Cambridge.
Russ Harper is a shipbuilder—the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation of Quincy, Mass.
Clarence Farr is an engineer with du Pont in the dye works at Deepwater, N. J.
Fred Orner classifies himself as a research clerk in the general office of the New Haven Railroad at New Haven.
Big Business claims still another member of the class—Graham Butler, who is an accountant in a division of General Motors at Janesville, Wis.
One of the things that John Wright says in a recent letter is the kind of statement you would expect of John. He says that he and Sheldon are already planning to drive to Hanover next summer for reunion. Here's hoping the rest of you are entertaining the same kind of ideas—before the regular plans are laid by the reunion committee—which will make their work all the easier. Wright and Sheldon have apparently taken up squash for the winter. The Dartmouths out there in Chicago have organized an "A" team, and according to John W. have several of the best players in the city. He doesn't mention any names.
Dave Stern has returned from Washington, where he was with the S. E. C., and is now back in Chicago with the firm of Burry, Johnston, Dixon, & Peters. Tom Kiddoo is in the same city with a large firm which Wright in his letter designated simply as Poppenhusen—which seems altogether too abbreviated for the name of a large law firm.
En route to Boston from the Holy Crossgame * * * * Among the mourners in Hanover at the misfortune were: Joe Carleton, Brandy Marsh, Don MacPhail, and John Clark, all with wives; and Pierpont, Buckley, Scully Smith, and Bully Morton. .... Somebody up there told me that Bill Brister is foreman on a banana ranch in western Honduras in the employ of the United Fruit Co.
Secretary, Soldiers Field, Boston
