Class of 1930

Fall is in the air. The Big Green football machine is going through its paces, and there are many premonitory signs of the beginning of a new college year, as with high resolve we begin another series of monthly installments of information and hearsay for the benefit of a small but select public. Meanwhile, somewhat more than the usual number of '3O visitors have put in cheerful appearances, and since with even more than our usual casualness we haven't jotted down notes on these sundry visits we will simply have to trust to our eager but fallible memory to recall these apparitions as we go along. The only conspicuous absence is that of AVE RAUBE, who so far hasn't spent his usual golfing week here WALLY WASMER and wife Gladys dropped in, Wally's keen interest in a golf game being balanced by an equally enthusiastic indifference on the part of Gladys, resulting in we don't know what compromise, although indications were pointing toward an abbreviated nine holes with a reluctant bride gleefully adding up the putts. Wally is an alumnus of the International Business Machine Corporation, and is now selling ink for a firm in Brooklyn the name of which we hope he will supply for our records Other visitors included the ROG ELAS, but this we suddenly recall, has been recounted in the mid-summer newsletter While we were playing hooky in late August that perennial student, MERIT WHITE, dropped by en route from Pasadena to Cambridge, where he is going to be at the Harvard Engineering School. Information is lacking whether he is teaching or studying or both. Whitey got his Ph.D. at California Institute of Technology in 1935, and according to our best information has been doing both teaching and research there since. Among his collection of degrees there is the C.E. from Thayer School While batting around among the W's, here is a wedding announcement:

"Dr. and Mrs. Arthur William Walshannounce the marriage of their daughterMargery Jane to Mr. WESLEY ALFRED WILKINSON on Saturday, the twenty-first ofAugust, Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania. AtHome: 12015 Clifton Boulevard, Lakewood, Ohio." Wes is a lawyer in Cleveland JACK WOOSTER has made his peace with us, and as a peace offering passed along an item about the prospective marriage of NORM MCGRATH to Peggy, sister of Ed Walsh '29. Along with his sympathies for Peggy, Woos referred us to STEERS for further data, which we herewith subpoena The wedding bells, as a matter of fact, have been making quite a clatter this summer. Here is another nuptial item:

"Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Scharen announce the marriage of their daughterFrances Catherine to Mr. HOWLAND GRAFF ZIEGLER on Saturday, the fourteenth of August at half after ten o'clock. The LittleChurch Around the Corner, One EastTwenty-ninth Street, New York City."

Ev Low barely escaped the dog house by a ten-minute visit after being in these parts for a month on Lake Morey. Ev is buyer now for three departments for Hahne and Company, Newark—gloves, hosiery, and umbrellas—and when seen by us was a trim and sunburned picture of health, reporting the Low boys, aged five and one, doing well Cryptic BILL LUCAS now explains everything, including the vague allusions to Northampton. It seems that he never got there, and that the mountain came to Mahomet on July 10 as Miss Bettie Taylor, daughter of Mrs. George Taylor of Portsmouth, Ohio, and a member of the Smith class of '36, decided to risk the affiliation with Wild Bill, the Kentucky cowboy STUFFY MCINNES, the Erie railroader, now has a new address at 549 Almyra Ave., Youngstown, Ohio. Mac seems to be a hard man for the sheriff to put his finger on, and as another step in his quick leaping from place to place is going to come out of the sticks for one of the football games this fall. .... This looks like CHARLIE RAYMOND'S writing with some items from the Boston district. For example, there is the new address for JOHNNY NEWCOMB at 29 First St., Melrose, who is recorded as married and working in the men's clothing department of Filene's. Then there is RAY OLSEN, recorded as with Poor's Publishing Company in Wellesley working on their bond bulletin Shifting quickly back and forth from churches to cemeteries, we find AD RUGG leaving Price, Waterhouse, and Company to join the Mount Hope Cemetery Association. You won't have to look behind tombstones for Ad, however, inasmuch as he can be found at an office at 522 Fifth Ave. He busies himself at accounting and assisting the vice-president and general manager. Contrary to what you may think, it would seem that the cemetery business is sort of fun. Ad reports meeting ED WARREN on the "Avenue" and discovering that Ed is working with Parent'sMagazine, presumably in the advertising department Through the kindness of LEE CHILCOTE we find that Mr. Charles A. Morris of Lakewood, Ohio, has announced the engagement of his daughter, Marian Louise, to Dr. CLIFFORD J. VOGT. Miss Morris attended the Erskine School in Boston and the Cleveland School of Art.—The old red-head, as you ought to know from previous reports, is resident at the Lakeside Hospital in Cleveland MILT SHULTZ checks us up for our careless ambiguity and says that his exact title "might" be sales correspondence. In addition to writing letters, Milt is assistant to the man in charge of sales at the mill end. Milt takes this occasion for supplying us with considerable information about the Berkshire Knitting Mills, such as the fact that the floor space area is 1,105,657 square feet and that the modern cafeteria seats 1200 at one time with meals served at cost. This information we are passing along to our stocking buyer, Mr. Low

With the help of our friends who pretent to be able to read German, we are now able to inform you that HORST ORBANOWSKI married Miss Annelotte Siebel at Dusseldorf August 25. Our interpreter claims that the presence in the announcement card of the name "Weinhaus Bettermann" means that the Orbanowskis were married, so to speak, at Gus Bettermann's bar. "Grafenberger Allee 67" is, we are told, where the Orbanowskis will live. . . . . Not only have wedding bells been clanging from Germany to Maysville, Ohio, but the hospitals have also been active, and among other things have produced Mary Elizabeth Stigall in Texas on August 1. This item led us to believe that TEX STIGALL, the Dallas lawyer, had been married, which proved to be the case, the nuptials having taken place at Coleman, Texas, on May 18, 1935, with Mary Lewis Mc-Clellan playing the leading role and John acting as supporting cast.

ED BENOIST, who has an admirable Alumni Fund record following the habit which he set in the beginning by raising the ante a regular amount every year (let this be a lesson to you), is now vice-president of the Automatic Electric Company, a title which he holds, according to his testimony, "in order to work fifteen hoursor so a day and to be able to tell the officeboys when to go to lunch." .... Barely perceptible, peering around luggage of all sorts and varieties, en route from Newfound Lake to Woodstock and thence back to New York, four Frenches appeared a few weeks ago, John, Rhoda, John 111 (5), and Roberts (2), one bright Sunday, with not even sufficient time to extricate themselves from the car. John was presumably returning at once to his labors in the law, a fact which is belied by a clipping from the Rutland Herald dated September 6 and bearing the large headline "FRENCHTAKES TITLE IN WOODSTOCKGOLF." Tied at the 36th hole, the runnerup, one Johnny Boniface, recklessly tried to drive the brook and was immediately in trouble, whereas John with sound conservatism, played short, chipped on the green, and holed his putt for a birdie three and the match. There must be a lesson in this

Another Hanover visitor appeared in the person of FREDDIE BOWES, that Virginia horseman who has been reluctantly divorced from his uncle's mares and is now on leave of absence from the Pitney-Bowes Postage Meter Company, in whose Washington office he has been, goes to New York and joins up with Batten, Barton, Durstine, and Osborn, which makes him, at least temporarily, a member of '3o's sizable advertising fraternity. Freddie will be living out at Stamford until further notice Whether via hospital or stork, Andrea Carol Buhler put in her appearance July 26. Everybody who was at reunion will recall that the CARL BUHLERS were already the moderately modest parents of Peter, age Carl beat us to the draw every time with that billfold carrying Peter's picture By putting in a specific bid for one, we got a letter from FRED CHASE, who is in Dunedin, Florida, where he divides his time between covering large quantities of the Florida beach with his sunburned body and doing semi-pro photography Scribbled on a chaotic postcard obviously stolen and bearing the message "There will be a special meeting of the Exempt Firemen atthe Fire Station on Saturday—Free Beer," BILL FENTON sends a change of address to 12 East Main St., Canton, N. Y., where he is going to teach at St. Lawrence. "The fireis banked, in the longhouse," he adds madly. .... MILT FLEISCHMAN has a new job in the Cummins Diesel Engine Company. Intellectual glutton that he is, this Phi Bete is also going to business school three nights a week Many readers of the sports pages during the summer frequently saw the name Herreshoff and sometimes the name HAFFENREFFER on the periphery of the Cup Races. Things have quieted down somewhat at the Herreshoff yards by this time, and we hope to see Carl in Hanover any day now Careful research has supplemented a newspaper notice on the birth of a son to the ED HAZENS by providing his name and birthday, which are respectively John Edward and May 7. Ed is the principal of the Hampton Junior High School in Hampton, N. H HEN KLEPP, not a voluminous correspondent, came through during the Fund campaign, adding that he is in the legal department of the Bankers Indemnity Insurance Company HUGH GIBBONS passed through Hanover while summering at Centre Lovell, Me., before going to Washington to work in the Georgetown branch of the Public Library this month. He was met at the boat in June by FRAN HORN and WIN STONE after he finished the long trek from Cairo And ED FROST changes printing affiliations from the Marshall and Bruce Company to the Baird-Ward Printing Company in Nashville, where the old classical poet will be in charge of book manufacture Even though apparently locked out by strikes and with no office to go to, AL TROSTEL did nicely by the Alumni Fund and broke a resolute resolve never to write to us. "Familywise I am still married, twochildren, no dogs, live in the city winters,on a farm summers (very poor farmer).My golf not too good (excellent customers'game). Otherwise very healthy." He quite frequently gets from Milwaukee to Boston, but to our knowledge has never been seen there.

It is good to be on the slinging end of this stuff again. How is it on your end?
