Class of 1930

It seems a long way until Christmas at this writing, with the Big Green just hitting the climax of its football season this week against Cornell and a general absence of Christmas cheer as winter sets in, the stock market plumbing the depths along with the thermometer. Personally, the thermomter worries us more. Doubtless some of you capitalists are pretty glum about Wall Street, but '30 always has its chin up, and our month's correspondence isn't on too melancholy a note Take KEN JOHNES, secretary-treasurer of the Mohawk Refining Corporation of Newark, for example. In July, 1936, Ken and a couple of other fellows formed this corporation and built a plant to re-refine motor oils. At this point, whether because the oil is good or the jobbers can't buy it anywhere else, Mohawk with its plant running to capacity can't keep up with its orders. You Jersey boys had better drop in for a quart at a discount MAC HORWITT is also at work on a new enterprise—attempting to start a research laboratory in biochemistry out at the Elgin State Hospital in Elgin, Ill We have a couple of developments on the General Motors front. JACK HODGES turns up with Chevrolet in Richmond, Va., after two years in Chevrolet's Baltimore office. He's now field representative in the Richmond-Norfolk area, concentrating on nuts, screws, and bolts—Parts and Accessories, to him Then there are the TED WOLFS, who were going to be here for the Cornell

game until they suddenly went to Yale instead. Ted, who has just entered applications for sons in the prospective classes of 1953 and 1955, is "assisting the car distributor," as previously noted, in the Buick- Oldsmobile-Pontiac plant in Linden, N. J. To correct our impression that a distributor was a small round mechanism in the ignition system, involving a natural query as to how Ted could assist it, he goes on to tell how he helps the car distributor fill the orders for five Pontiac zones, four Buick zones, and three Oldsmobile zones, via one assembly line in Linden at the rate of forty freight car loads a day. You papas who have sons aimed for the Big Green during Young Pete Wolf's career had better go easy with the Wolf cub, standing 38 inches and 381/2 pounds at the age of two and one-half.

. . . . BURT CRANDELL announces Carol Lynn as of August 15, 1937—the first score for the Arrow Petroleum Crandells of Oak Park PETE CALLAWAY is still busting with enthusiasm over the Windy City, having a marvelous time with Time, patting MICKEY EMRICH on his recent daughter, and expanding DUD FAUST'S modest report on his new radio job with the comment that "Dud is in the big heavy foldingmoney."

We had a nice visit recently with JACK SMITH'S sister just when things were beginning to pop the hottest in Shanghai We made our usual careful notes on the information gleaned from this interview and have now, as usual, lost them, but recall that Jack's battleship had been shelled a couple of times and he hoped sooner or later to get to Vienna for some more study of surgery Now we have JACK ALEXANDER back from the Alaskan wastes in Maiden, Mass., with the publicity department of Wirthmore Grain and Feed Company. Jack reports CHICK POOLER in his usual fine fettle KEL RICHARDS, who oscillates constantly from lumber to photography and back again, is now back in the family lumber business in Weston, W. Va. (the Westwood Lumber and Manufacturing Company, at that), but is getting in plenty of Leica Kodachrome. His sophomore brother just pledged Delta Tau Delta.

. . . . Speaking of kid brothers, WALT DUNLAP '38, brother of JIM, is manager of the players, a member of Palaeopitus, and so forth.

.... And young BOLTE is one of those freshmen whom you see everywhere. He's already made the cast of a Players' show and is observed entering The Dartmouth's first competition, showing up at the script-writing course, at cetera, at cetera

DICK PARKER is either still buried among the Egyptians or living Before Christ; consequently, knowing little of '30 men. He's research assistant at the Oriental Institute and may take his doctor's exams this year. Any of you Chicago lads who would like to meet a nice mummy can drop in on Dick. . . . . Buzz MORLEY, wife Julia, and two friends (one a member of that fine body of men, the Alpha Delta Phi) dropped by en route from Saginaw to New York just after the Harvard game. They hoped to see some of the boys who survived that famed christening of the new Tuck School in 1930-31 and who now, according to the old principle of the survival of the fittest, are doing not badly in the big city. The itinerary concluded with the Yale game We won't even try to list the boys observed in Cambridge and New Haven, but since our wedding bells department of the month seems to be largely composed of the MCGRATH-Walsh nuptials we will at least refer to the impression gleaned from AL MCGRATH (definitely not the bridegroom) in New Haven that the tying of NORM'S matrimonial knot with Mary Margaret Walsh, sister of Ed Walsh '29 and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Joseph Walsh of Chevy Chase, was something. BUCK STEERS is cited as a witness. Norm has the nerve to inquire whether he can be in the running in the Class Baby contest, which is one of the most brazen inquiries we've received in several years in view of the fact that young Freddy Chase Jr. is now in grammar school, proudly wearing the '30 garland. All in all, this McGrath item is a mad contribution but a welcome one. "There's a wee new cradle swingingfrom our family tree" announce the FRANKWALLACES of Ogdensburg concerning Carolyn Jane, born last September 8. We are falling farther and farther behind, as on the basis of a recent Hanover visit by y[r. and Mrs. PHIL LOWER we learn that Phil was married to the then Mary-Nell Dickerman in Auburn, N. Y., July 3, 1935. Phil is with the New York State Electric and Gas Corporation in Auburn, and as nearly as we can decipher our handwriting is in the construction department GEORGE LORD came to town, but kept his bride under wraps and vanished without giving us a break By playing hooky we missed a visit from GEORGE PARKHURST'S parents, but were appreciative of a message from them and a word to the effect that the Baltimore attorney was getting along fine.

.... As forecast last spring, DR. ALAN LESLIE announces the opening of his office for the practice of medicine at 111 East 75th St This seems as good a time as any to close this wordy compositionthough perhaps appending some brief gleanings on the boys through address changes—with the following announcement involving that medical redhead, CUFF VOGT:

"Mr. Charles A. Morris announces themarriage of his daughter, Marian Louise,to DR. CLIFFORD J. VOGT on Saturday thethirtieth of October, Lakewood, Ohio."

We call your attention to the photograph in this section. If any of the rest of you have any twins to compete with the Beatific Blanchards we'll publish their pictures too.
