Class of 1932
Having duly negotiated its quinquennial, it now becomes the privilege of 'go to reminisce from time to time. At this season one is inevitably prompted to recall the soul-searing 33-33 Yale game of six years ago in which '3a men were so vitally concerned.
As seniors on that year's team, LITZENBERGER, BRISTER, WLLKIN, PORTER, TOOTHAKER, PYLES, YUDICKY, and FRIGARD contributed notably to the season's annals, but it is the names of MCCALL and MORTON that stand out when the record of the behemoth Eli battle is read. Morton's first field goal was the game's initial score; his repeat performance in the fourth period's gathering dusk averted a Dartmouth defeat, and his field generalship through the whole of that see-saw scoring spree was inspiring. McCall's three valiant touchdown surges, his astounding anticipation of Yale passes, and his sensational broken field running that out-Boothed Booth left the crowd limp.
Bringing the record up to date we find that that same Wild William who put many a game on ice for the Big Green eleven now heads the MCCALL Refrigerating Company of Hudson, N. Y., which he organized himself after several years of sales experience. The erstwhile Muskegon Mustang, now living in Hudson with his family, looked in the pink when seen at reunion this June.
Air Mail MORTON' (according to J. AMOS WRIGHT) has "given up his educated toefor a set of educated golf clubs." Bill has been married for several years and is with the Chase organization in Chicago. It was Morton's pass to BILL BRISTER that paved the way to that tying field goal in the 1931 Yale classic. A similar pass today would have to travel from Michigan Ave. clear to Puerto Armuelles, Panama, where Brister is working for the Chirigui Land Cos.
Gradually emerging from the chrysalis of interneship, law clerking and similar types of incubation, a number of '32 professional men in varying fields are actively trying their wings.

Just under the wire for this month's column is a letter from HOWIE SARGEANT, written from the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles and tracing in "Dos Passos Camera Eye fashion" the crowded events of recent months. Until May of the present year, Howie was research associate in the Washington office of the chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, living with MORRY TUCKER in the manner of landed gentry in Bethesda, Md. Picking up the Sargeant narrative at this point:
"Upon grant of leave of absence fromthe Federal Home Loan Bank Board, Ijoiried the ranks of private enterprise forthe summer, working on an experimentalprogram. in public relations, advertising,and-business development for the FederalHome Loan Bank of Little Rock. All buttwo weeks were spent in continuous travelthrough Arkansas, most of Texas, and almost all of New Mexico. The work wasintensive—interesting because it was decidedly a pioneer effort in working withsavhigs and loan associations in the Southwest along these lines—and when I droveback to Little Rock on the yth of September, with 10,000 miles on my speedometerin three months, I was really travel-worn,but felt I had gained a better acquaintancewith a very fascinating part of my owncountry than I could have obtained anyother way. My work demanded that I meetthe newspaper editors in every city, thebankers, postmasters, and other leadingcitizens, and I became famed as Rollo theBoy Orator of the Two-a-Day-Circuit frommy addresses to civic and service clubs,which did not begin in Josh Lee fashionas hinted by detractors:
'l'm against war, I'm against sin, I'm against lettin' the Republicans in.' It was wholly non-partisan.
"At reunion time I was celebrating inriotous and solitary fashion in Jonesboro,Ark.
"I stayed in Gallup, N. M., four days thissummer during the Indian Inter-TribalCeremonial, when the little town of 4,500was invaded by some 10,000 Injuns of 30different tribes, and hordes of tourists aswell, making me feel that the only placefor a traveling man to lay his head wouldbe in some pup te?it pitched on the courthouse. lawn!"
From Sept. 15 to Nov. 1, Howie is back on. active duty for Federal Home Loan Bank Board, visiting regional offices including those in Portland and Los Angeles, and attending the 45th annual convention of the U. S. Building and Loan League. Returning to Washington on Nov. 1 he will take over new duties as acting editor of the Federal Home Loan Bank Review, a monthly publication, and requests 'g2ers invading Washington to call him at the Board.
Howie was pleased to hear that he was voted class president at reunion. Displaying pardonable curiosity, he asks, "Uponwhat campaign platform was I elected?"
This poses a rather neat question. This Department proposes to sidestep the issue at present, but will welcome an exchange of opinions on this controversial point either via the mails or between the halves.
Secretary, 215 Lakeville Rd., Great Neck, L. 1., N. Y
