Class of 1930
The New England waterways are on a rampage again, two days of steady rain and melting snow bringing on a state of affairs that recalls the exciting events of November, 1927, when Thirtymen as sophomores rushed down to the Connecticut to watch Che Ledyard Bridge go out (Oh, vain vigil), rode gallantly south in B & M boxcars, dug mud along the White River, and drank Red Cross coffee which fair hands dispensed to the brave. The current undergraduates experienced none of these sacrificial joys—neither did they get their cuts excused.
There is no time for reminiscence, however. We have been taken to task by JOHNNY HAHN and must get down to grim business. Johnny, who reports his new headquarters to be 1219 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, writes with candor that he finds the '30 notes quite dull, to which your correspondent wishes to reply that they will be lots duller if some of you hold-outs don't kick 'through with a little information. We'll soon be reduced to imagining things. Johnny, by the way, is Philadelphia representative for the American Hospital Supply Corporation, and hasn't seen a Thirtyman since he arrived last August.
Mrs. Myrtle Smith Taylor announces the marriage of her daughter, Mary, to Mr. WILLIAM HUNTER FIELDCAMP, Saturday, February 15, 1936, at Chicago. The newlyweds are at home at 7647 Bosworth Avenue, Chicago.
Mr. and Mrs. ROGER ESTMAN ELA, whose marriage took place on February 22, are now making their home in Wayland, Mass., after a wedding trip spent on northern ski trails. Mrs. Ela, formerly Miss Anna Dickson of Weston, Mass., is a graduate of Winsor School and an accomplished equestrienne.
Two Thirtymen are on the brink: Mr. and Mrs. John Schadder of Eliza- beth, N. J., announce the engagement of their daughter, Miss Mary Schadder, to Mr. JOHN TORRENCE WOOSTER, of Upper Montclair,N. J.
Announcement has been made of the engagement of Miss Katherine Ogden, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred T. Ogden of New York City and Kinderhook, N. Y., to JOHN WESTERVELT ACKLEY JR., of Rahway, N. J. Miss Ogden attended Miss Porter's School at Farmington and made her debut several seasons ago. Jack is employed by the Central Hanover Bank and Trust Company of New York.
You ski-addicts would be green with envy if you could see the post-card sent by JOHN FRENCH from Zurs in Arlberg. John was a pupil of Friedrich Schnieder, brother of the famous Hannes of St. Anton, and whether he can ski or not, he now bandies about such terms as schnee-pluh, chasseneige, and stem-bogen. By the time you read this, the French family will be back in Die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, as John whimsically puts it.
Speaking of skiing, SI CHANDLER, the class non-resident Hanoverian, BILL STEARNS, and 808 JORDAN were seen whipping about on Oak Hill before the rainy season set in.
CHARLIE ADAMS writes on the stationery of the C.C.C. headquarters at Fort Lewis, Washington to report that he had been transferred there from command of his camp to be Assistant Adjutant of the Fort Lewis District. "I like the change," he writes; "it is more interesting and morepleasant, especially being married, as it allows you to spend your evenings and nightswith your family."
While on the subject of families, CHRIS CHRISSINGER is the source of the information that DUD FAUST is the father of a daughter, born shortly before Christmas.
The Chrissinger epistle, sent from the National Inspection Company of Chicago, contributes the following:
While cruising about Tulsa my first stopwas at one HANK LAWRENCE'S home, whereI found him comfortably eased into Papa'schair with his bedroom slippers on and contentedly watching his houseful of childrenplay. Hank Jr. does not seem to be handicapped by having the elder Hank as hisfather, and I think he mill grow up a normal young man if he does not learn abouthis old man at college. The baby girl, onlya few months old, keeps Henry up some atnights, but from the office hours he keeps,he apparently loses little sleep
BRECKENRIDGE, looking like he had justgotten out of bed, came over to MCBIRNEY'S while I was there one evening. Both boyslook fine and are sporting attractive wives.Don is just beginning married life so isn'tthinking about children at present, butBreck has a boy whom I didn't see but wastold that he is a rip-snorting toughy likehis old man. Don is V. P. in his Dad's bankand Bill is a lawyer. If you want to knowabout Hank, he is assistant to the presidentof the Union Wire and Rope Company.
MILT FLEISCHMAN, who is practicing lawin Newark, N. J., reports somewhat vaguelythat JACK HUMBERT has a new job in NewYork "shoeing the public"; that CHARLIE HUMISTON has been promoted to the mort-gage loan department of the PrudentialInsurance Company; and that ERIC BIRMINGHAM and his wife have been having aswell tune climbing mountains in GlensFalls.
