Class of 1930
The Amherst game "homecoming" movement in some of the obscure frat clubs brought quite a miniature '3O reunion to town. The list included a couple of WOOSTERS, a couple of PECKS, a CHANDLER, BILL BROWN, the Newark broker, HANK EMBREE, the Chicago lumberman, RUSTY MORRILL, the Bamburger buyer, CHARLEY RAUCH, the sawed-off investment counsel, and a couple of housebuilding, ski-manufacturing BLANCHARDS, who are to be reminded of their promise to supply an upto-date picture of the twins.
This column has just taken time out for another slight homecoming with RED ALCORN, one of the dividends of which is a picture of young Tommy, who has just completed his thirteenth month and is already the proud wearer of a diminutive "D." Red modestly says that he is still going through a lot of motions in the state's attorney's office and the firm of Alcorn, Mitchell, Alcorn 8c Bakewell in Hartford.
Turning farther afield, we recall HANK EMBREE'S report of the arrival of young Mary Louise EMRICH in the household of Mickey and Louise (Claybaugh) Emrich, on the 27th or aBth of September, just about the time the Emrichs were celebrating their fourth anniversary J$0B KOHN is busy in his father's furniture business, the American Furniture Co®, pany in Denver, with, it seems, enough time to go cavorting in Santa Fe long enough to delay reply to a letter a couple of weeks. .... JOHNNY KOUNTZ finds his colorful career settling down to the insurance business after having been an athletic director for the feeble-minded in Letchworth Village, and an investment counsel (not ostensibly for the feebleminded) in New York 808 KIMBALL'S pedagogical career has covered the Woodstock, Monson, and Canterbury academies, and now finds him back for the third year as physics and biology teacher at the Haverhill High School, Haverhill, Mass RED HOLME is, according to the press and a formal announcement, the bridegroom of Miss Anne Robison Mackey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Mackey of Pleasantville, N. Y. The couple were married in Saint George's Episcopal church, New York, on Saturday, September 18. The former Miss Mackey's schools included Elms, Waynefleet, and Halstead, and the Roosevelt Training School for Nurses. We find from our Herald Tribune clipping that Red is a member of the Harlem Yacht Club. We are reasonably sure that the bridegroom is indeed our classmate and not his dastardly impersonator, the wily Mr. Humphrey of Hawaii. . . . . AL HAYES is getting along —now assistant professor of English at Duquesne University. Al is one of our most learned brethren Another learned gent is busy GEORGE MCCLELLAN, who, it would seem, is head of the English department in the State Teachers' College of Frostburg, Md., and editor of EverydayReading, a semi-monthly magazine of readings in modern literature "for the average as well as the below average secondary school reader," with a list of contributing editors including such names as Joseph Auslander, Robert P. T. Coffin, Christopher Morley, etc. George has a coeditor named Lydia. His activities are too complicated to record, but his hair flames as much as ever A picture postcard of a small boy riding a large grasshopper (slightly faked) and whooping a "Wah-Hoo-Wah" comes from Goodland, Kansas, from the hand of RANNY HOBBS, the bridegroom, who says "We are headingfor Mexico at present."
.... DR. OSCAR HARRIS and party were slated to pass through Hanover early in September but never showed up To supplement the mad FENTON item of last month, we find he is instructor in social studies at St. Lawrence University in Canton, N. Y., on leave of absence from the Indian Service DUD FAUST leaves Hearst to join the staff of WBBM, the "western key station" of the Columbia Broadcasting System It shouldn't surprise us to find a new address for HOD ERSKINE at Colombo, Ceylon, presumably still carrying the banner of the Standard Oil Company, which he has borne aloft in Madras, India, and Lowell, Mass, since graduation The wandering DUN- NING has transferred from sales promotion to personnel for Scott Paper, and can now be found in Drexel Hill, Pa. Here's a new item on Hoss DREW, who is now in social service at 902 Broadway, New York, living out in Flushing . . . .
and BERK DOWELL transfers from real estate to life insurance at 150 Broadway. . . . . DR. JIM CULLYFORD, late of Minneapolis, is now with the Public Health Department of Denver. The omnipresent MR. CHANDLER locates Joan and SHAW COLE on Hawthorne St. in Cambridge, Mass.—their stay there depending on how many leaks Shaw can find in the city's water system and the generosity of the City Council 808 BRUCE, the General Electric contracts man moves from Pittsburgh to Columbus We had a nice visit the other day from AL BOLTE'S freshman kid brother, who gave us quite a lot of low-down on the boy with the bass voice and graying temples, who, it would seem, bears the mellifluous title of executive assistant to the president of Tampax. He has a daughter named Bonnie Marian, as of the past January, and is living in Greenwich, where he is president of the Studio Workshop Players. It won't surprise you to learn that "Journey's End" was a recent production, with AL playing Stanhope NAT BLUMBERG of Lightolier is now the New England sales representative, living in Brookline, Mass.
It's pleasant to come to romance after a pretty humdrum column and to discover that NELS BLAKE, instructor of history at Syracuse, was taken in by one of his pupils, a former Miss Elizabeth M. Cox of Paterson, N. J., to whom he was married June 12 last, in Great Barrington, Mass. The bride graduated from Syracuse in 1936
ELLY ARMSTROING, from whom news has been sparse, has transferred his allegiance from the Southern New England Telephone Company to the U. S. Rubber Products Company in Naugatuck, Conn. . . . . Our scouts, who never sleep, present us with Lucius Beebe's chit-chat column from the New York Herald Tribune carrying a glamorous picture of COLLIE YOUNG under the heading "FIRST NIGHTER." He is named in the text along with such other professional first nighters as Anna May Wong, John Hanrahan, Gilbert Miller, Gene Tunney, Kitty Carlisle, Merlin H. Aylesworth, Beatrice Kaufman, Myra—or have you had enough? . . . . This is not much of a time to be recording it. but Roger Conant Wolf joined the TED WOLFS in Plainfield, N. J., last June 20 and began working out immediately for the Glee Club. His daddy, who had two years previously sired another potential Hanoverian, is assisting the car distributor at the Buick-Oldsmobile-Pontiac plant in Linden, N. J., and is now living in Westfield. .... We should have told you by this time that PAT WEAVER is in the Hollywood office of Young & Rubicam, directing radio WILBUR SMITH is heard from for the first time since leaving Hanover, and we discover that he is president of the Bismarck Brewing Company of Chicago. We have put in a bid for some supplementary information We have been wondering about LT. JACK SMITH during the current exchange of Oriental courtesies around Shanghai He has been cruising up and down the China coast and 1500 miles inland on the Yangtze Kiang on the U. S. S. Sacramento. This report is as of late July. Dr. Smith is now a two-striper, which is what the British call a senior surgeon-lieutenant. Jack was already holding his breath in July "for fearthe fools will touch off the whole place." What condition he may be in by this time we can't guess, but have a report from some source that he is safe in Seattle.
.... The world moves along as HANK LAWRENCE'S first-born, a junior Henry, enters the first grade. Hank, who is still in the wire rope business, passes along newspaper reports of "another child" (making we don't know what staggering total) for the BRECKINRIDGES, but adding in a deprecating tone that he is sure MCBIRNEY has not yet done his bit for the human race At this point we will leave you and the human race to your fate for this month.
