Class of 1930
Before we launch into our springtime garrulity, we must needs record the month's most significant events as follows:
Mrs. Bertha Beerkircher announces the marriage of her daughter ESTHER to MR. FRED A. TANGEMAN on Saturday, April 25, Madison, Wisconsin.
Mr. and Mrs. Daniel F. Yost announce the marriage of their daughter HANNA ALICE to DOCTOR BENJAMIN DORES PARISH JR. on Thursday, the 28th of May, Norristown, Pennsylvania.
Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Trecartin Ogden announce the marriage of their daughter KATHERINE to MR. JOHN WESTERVELT ACKLEY JR. on Friday, the 15th of May, New York City.
FRED TOBEY, checking up on the events of the last few months, announces the debut on July, 32 of last year (1935) of Fred C. Tobey 3d, "the importance of whichsurpasses anything that ever before happened in our family." Anyone who is interested in investing in the Saturday Evening Post will find Fred at 441 Maple Ave., Hartford.
In an announcement worthy of an architect, bearing somebody's coat of arms and described as "Specifications for Addition to the House of Magenau," as of April 16, 1936, this is the general description: Roger Wilson Magenau, Age: o plus; Height: iBi/£ inches; Weight: 6 lbs., oz.; Hair: Brown; Disposition: Perfect; Home Office: 8 Short St., Concord, N. H.; Collaborating in the Design: Eugene and Sally Magenau.
The above-mentioned bride and groom TANGEMAN spent several days in Hanover, and we pulled a Tom Sawyer on them one Saturday afternoon, resulting in the dusting of a sitting room and the complete mowing and raking of the lawn. TANGE is primarily a Pet Milk magnate, but we would give him a job raking leaves just any time.
SI CHANDLER has news of Thirtymen in the Boston area. Conspiring with CHARLIE RAYMOND, SI plans a class outing on June 6 at or near the Chandler headquarters in Plymouth. There will be, according to Si's glowing and hospitable description, a 27- hole golf course, indoor baseball, a Dutch lobster party, class movies, and any other forms of entertainment that may seem like a good idea at the time. You are invited, whether or not a formal invitation reaches you.
Other class activities have been going forward in Chicago, and PETE CALLAWAY, apparently somewhat the worse for wear ("There is a loud and constant roaring in your correspondent's head"), gives us a vivid description of a party, which he describes as exceeding for laughs any cheery celebration ever perpetrated in Hanover. He gives credit to GHRISSINGER, EMBREE, and VARLEY for whipping up the party. They had everything from amateur wrestling to movies, and a hundred bruises on the carcass of old PETE CALLAWAY testify that the Chicago delegation of 1930 is not, as we have frequently alleged, extinct. "It would,have pleased yon to see Bro. Simmons[who, incidentally, was an accomplice before the fact in the TANGEMAN affair] gracing the head of the festive board. Welet him sit there because he has only(at this writing) six more days of freedom." PETE'S letter was dated May 3, which would seem to date the SIMMONS affair as May 9. It would appear that HANK EMBREE was sugar daddy to the crowd at various points. KEN KULL was deeply embroiled in the prevailing gayety. MCCLORY provided his own odd arrangement on an out-of-tune piano and tried to give his famous talk on the Ethiopian situation, but was prevented from doing so by NEWELL RUMPF with the help of 808 GLASGOW. The names of BILL FIELDCAMP, ED VARLEY, and COTTON HOLMES also appear in the account. According to an additional word from PETE, JIM IRWIN can now be reached at Trudeau, Essex County, N. Y.
An Alumni Fund gift has just been received from 808 WALKER, who wrote it from the Memorial Hospital at North Conway, N. H., where he was recovering from a broken leg received on Mount "Washington. "The tree was just a bit toobig for me to snap, so it got me first. I havebeen lying in here for three weeks and expect to be here four or five more." Just as a lesson to you guys, BOB'S letter was for the purpose of sending his Alumni Fund*contribution.
We have a new report from SANDY MC■CULLOCH, who left the hospital last September to work for the Pilgrim Laundry in Boston, stayed there until the first of April, and is now with Alden Speare's Sons Cos. in New York state. He is selling laundry and dry cleaning supplies to a waiting trade.
This seems like a pretty thin offering. Oh, yes, here is a note from POOCH MEYER, recently back from Nassau and still filling the stock rooms of Bamberger's with sheets, pillow cases, and table linens for New Jersey housewives. It would seem that Pooch Jr. is rapidly developing into a halfback.
Ev Low keeps moving around the state of New Jersey, and now is back in Maplewood. .... SI CHANDLER has gone out of the business of fine furniture and church pews into the family insurance business, and still is seen in Hanover oftener, for example, than his brother JIM, who is supposed to be here KIP CHASE, we finally managed to discover, is in the brokerage business with Herrick Berg and Company, at 40 Wall St Here is a new address for BILL LAWSON out at El Paso: 3205 Aurora St It would seem from a slip of paper now held in our doddering fingers that BILL BASSETT is sales manager of the William H. Bassett Company, which means, if we remember correctly, Chevro- lets. .... ALASKA JACK ALEXANDER may be found at Fairbanks with the Fairbanks Exploration Company What 808 BRUCE is doing in Pittsburgh we don't know. .... ARCH CLARK, on the other hand, we know definitely is with the mort- gage loan department of the Phoenix Mu- tual Life Insurance Company; in Hartford. ..... And with equal certitude we affirm that JACK DEAN is salesman for the W. Bingham Company in Cleveland, but what he sells we have no idea The new "at home" of the WALTER WASMERS is in Terris Towers in Jackson Heights.
It would seem that all of you able-bodied gentlemen should be able to accomplish with very little effort what 808 WALKER has done while spending the spring in a hospital bed in a little New Hampshire village. According to the way things have begun, 1930 is on the way to an even more gratifying Fund achievement than in the past two years. Are you in on it yet?
Secretary, Parkhurst Hall, Hanover, N. H.
