Class of 1935
With the football teams rolling up touchdowns again all over the country, the old college spirit burns still brighter for most of us, and with that comes an added sparkle to all news concerning Dartmouth, and, for us, "1935 "
This month has brought gossip from coast to coast, and from points as far south as Alabama, where Win Garth has been "doing just about every little odd job thatcomes along, from accounting to selling." Win passes over his own doings with an unfortunate reticence by saying that he has been in Huntsville for a little over a year"with the exception of one trip to Japanand several to California."
Win passed along several items about the lads from the Phi Psi House, starting with Jim Oughton, who was tendered a Bon Voyage party in New York this summer before sailing for Europe. What we need now is the story from there on, since Win only hinted at the details of the trip itself. Come on Jim, give!
Don Rogers and Fred Atkinson are still grinding and selling flour 'way out in Minnesota, and the last time I heard from them, they had interesting tales to tell of their difficulties in making sales. They did mention that a surprising number of bakers had nice daughters, however. Win says that they deal in nothing less than carload lots now, doubtless with an eye to earning enough for another trip to Sun Valley for some skiing.
Dan Swander, in spite of all the jokes that have been made about it, is still engaged in the vice business. By all appearances he has caught up with prosperity to the extent that he is now driving a beautiful new convertible around Cleveland.
Bob Kugler crossed me up by getting married September 25, instead of in October as I had predicted. The wedding was an occasion worthy of note, and among those present were Lou Whytlaw (the best man), Ernie Draper, and Hal Stanton. Ernie is employed in connection with the Spa at Saratoga Springs, which sounds like a nice place to spend the winter! And speaking of that, Bob Hage writes that he has been transferred to Vick's plant in Greensboro, N. C. A Duke friend of mine tells me that there are two big girls' schools in Greensboro, and so few men that the girls go around asking for dates. Careful, Bob!
Skipping away out to the West Coast, Dave Smith is in again with a report. By combining his story with another from Jack Gilchrist, we discover that Dave obtained his Master's degree in Business Administration last June at Stanford, following which he and his wife went touring the California gold mining country, unearthing many interesting sagas of the '4gers. On August 2 Dave went to work for the North American Securities Company in San Francisco. He gave me a sample of his sales talk, and if anyone has any loose change I recommend that you get in touch with Dave—or better still, the Alumni Fund!
Speaking of the Fund, although it's somewhat distant, looking either backward or forward, I suggest that you take some thought on our results last spring and then make some good resolutions.
Weddings are fewer this month, but the marriage of Miss Sylvia Collins to Jack Petrequin has attracted attention far and wide. The event took place at Gates Mills, Ohio, on September 4, being followed by a "very nice" reception (the descriptive phrase belongs to Jack Gilchrist) at the Chagrin Valley Hunt Club. Jack and Tom Foley were the only '3sers present, but I gather that they did their utmost to atone for the lack of numbers. Pete and his wife included Hanover in their honeymoon trip.
A brief announcement tells of the marriage of Miss Edwina Ellis to San Parsons in New York on September 18. Unfortunately, there are no further details.
Sam Stern popped up at the Dartmouth Club the other night and furnished the information that Bink Goodman had taken the fatal step with a charming young lady from Chicago's North Shore.
Speaking of Sam, he has only recently returned from a jaunt around the globe, during which he touched Central and South America, Bali, Manila, Japan, China, Java, and all the principal cities of Europe. At present he is in New York City while on the trail of a job in Auburn, JJ. Y., and he's thanking his lucky stars that he's not still promenading on the Bund in Shanghai!
Halsey Lo'der, it develops, was actually caught in the mess at Tientsin this summer, but escaped to start his third year at Harvard Law. Also back at Harvard will be Gardner Cushman, having returned from a honeymoon abroad.
The class isn't going to lack for barristers, that's certain, and three of them will come from Western Reserve—Lou Weitz, Dan Close, and Jack Gilchrist. Lou claims to have played golf all summer, while Dan spent the time "guiding thedestinies of the Wheeling and Lake ErieRailroad," to quote Lou's letter. It is rumored that he even removed cows from the rails, so intent was he in doing a good job.
Gilly had as interesting a summer as any, I think, in working for the Carnegie-Illinois Steel Company. Let him tell about it—"With an interpreter and two clerks Iconducted an employee survey of theHomestead Steel Works of Carnegie-Illinois, getting new records on each of the12,000 men employed there. Knowing myfondness for talking with laborers andothers in different strata of the social scale,you can imagine how much I enjoyedspending over ten weeks doing little elsebut 'talk to the men.' "
Ty Carlisle has been heard from at last! After spending the summer in Europe with Stan Smoyer '34, he is back in Ann Arbor at law school, living at the Phi Delta Phi House—a legal fraternity, in case any of you Dekes are worried about Ty's loyalty.
A letter from Hugh Wolff, who is in the insurance business in Chicago, uncovers Ken Kurson again, and he's still building and running theatres in Maine and northern New England.
Going back quite a way, news comes in that Ed Henriquez was married in August, 1936. I think that is still news to most of us.
Lou Weitz includes a "plug" for Rudy Pacht in his letter—"Rudy is busy pursuing the legal arts (University of California).However, unless Rudy has changed, I thinkhe continued his pursuing during the summer, but did not confine it to the legalarts." From various sources I gather that Rudy is doing a fine job with law school.
From Howie Croninger comes news of the Dartmouth: gang at General Electric in Schenectady—Howie, Sven Karlen, Russ Fields, and Wiley Hubbell. Howie says, "Ihave been married four months now, andcan offer strong arguments in favor of theinstitution to anyone who would care todrop in on Mary and me." (More propaganda!) Howie and Mary, Wiley, and Sven, with dates, attended the party given in honor of Herb Shuttleworth's marriage back in August.
And here are a number of interesting facts collected and given to you at random. . ... Ted Harbaugh worked for the Toledo Pressed Steel Company during the summer and was undecided as to whether he should continue or go back to Michigan Law School Johnny Howe is working on some interesting problems in vocational testing and guidance with the Stevens Institute in Hoboken, N. J Charlie Ganzell is with Bethlehem Steel. . . . . Bill Smith is planning a wedding this coming spring J ack AuWerter is with General Electric in St. Louis
Bill Crouse is running the Yankee Food Stores in Lansing, Mich Dave Johnson, plus wife and daughter, the latter born last May, is back at Harvard Law for his last year Eddie Reich is peddling carpet sweepers for his dad, and playing some very fine golf Perry Wachtel has his own advertising agency on Broadway—dePerri Advertising A 1 Sherwood, fresh from Harvard Business, is with Lybrand, Ross Brothers, & Montgomery, an accounting firm in New York.
. . . . Bud Weiss has left the home office of the Provident Mutual Life for work in the field around New York Jim Alfring has moved to St. Louis Herb Ostrow is in the nut and bolt business in Erie, Pa Mel Rothschild is working with the National Bank and Investment Company in Chicago Ed Ramsey, who many will remember, although he left after freshman year, was in New York the other day on business for Spiegel & May, a Chicago mail order house with which he has a job as buyer Monroe Hattenbach is married A 1
Brush spent part of the summer in Newfoundland Art Wertheim was employed as a councilor at a camp in Pawling, N. Y., during the summer A 1 Schnee was studying in Hanover for his consular service exams this summer Lew Cole is a father.
FOUND IN HANOVER
I went up to Hanover for the Amherst game and found a few of the boys there. Bob Ferry was up from New York, where he is with Young & Rubicam. Reg Bankart and Dick Hurd were in town, and I heard that Milf Childs, taking a rest from Buffalo Med, was present, although I didn't see him.
I had hoped that there would be some news of our wandering secretary, but I guess he is taking a full vacation from writing, so his movements are completely obscure.
As a parting shot, I want to thank you for your help in getting out this issue, and to urge you all to further efforts along the same lines in the future.
Secretary,Acting Secretary, GEORGE H. COLTON 100 Park Ave., East Orange, N. J.
