Class of 1929
This announcement deserves a special edition, but for lack of such we give it the headline:
George Peabody Carter was born January 5, 1937 to Marge and Bing Carter; George being the fourth child, the first brother to three of the loveliest, toughest (meaning sound of limb) little ladies that ever tore a house apart. Papa Carter owns and manages a chain of Dutchland Farm Stores on the New York Post Road, raises his family in Fairfield, Conn.
Maurie Mandelbaum of the department of philosophy, Swarthmore, Pa.:
"This is my third year of teaching philosophy here at Swarthmore, and I amstill enjoying both the college and the job.I finished my Ph.D. work at Yale last June,and hope to find a publisher for my thesisas soon as I have translated it from Jargoninto English. It was that which kept mehere for Christmas; I had hoped to comeup to Boston to some meetings and waslooking forward to seeing you and other'29,ers. Perhaps I'll be able to make itsoon."
Ed Canby from Dayton, Ohio:
. . . However, in answer to your courteous plea I will dash off just this brief line to tell you of a major change in the course of my future. I have completely severed my connection with the golf club business, and the business world in general, and in April set forth for the 240-acre ranch I have just bought in Northwest Wyoming. There, at an altitude of 8500 feet, amid gorgeous mountain scenery at the very fringe of civilization, I plan to raise lettuce and peas on a commercial basis. For your information, these two products thrive and attain maximum quality in the invigorating atmosphere which prevails at such high altitudes. I have investigated the possibilities thoroughly, and feel that there is an opportunity to make a very decent living out of it.
"I plan to spend from April until around Thanksgiving time there each year, returning to spend the winter months here in Dayton.
"So, unless I am mistaken, yours truly will have the honor (if such it can be called) of being the first '29er to become a rancher.
"As has been the case for the past several years, my contact with '29 men has been regretfully meager. Harris Huston is the only other one in Dayton, and he is keeping himself very busy in his dual existence of school teacher and barrister. The law is his ultimate goal, and I expect in another year he will devote all of his time to it ... . and very successfully so, I predict."
Wendell Barney, from Richmond:
"Bobby and I spent a delightful two weeks' vacation with - Ollie and MarionHolmes last August on the shores of Mousam Lake, near Sanford, Me. The bass were biting well and the grog was plentiful. What more could be desired? Spent the night en route to camp with Paul andFinnie Kelsey at their country manor in Lexington. So rushed was the return trip that we spent no time at all in the beantown, hence didn't get a chance to look you or your red-headed assistant key-holepeeper up. (Boy, is that murdering the language!)
"We were North again in October, as usual, making our base of operations at Mystic, Conn., where I had some very convenient business to attend to at that time. Attended both the Harvard and Yale rugby matches, and were mightily pleased with both—albeit a bit weak in the knees at the termination of the latter. Fully intended to get up to the Princeton game, but business affairs in other directions prevented.
"Have seen no one even remotely connected with '29 since I last wrote you, with the exception of the Holmes and Kelsey tribes. Ollie still in Providence peddling foundation garments to the overstuffed female trade; Paul now located somewhere in eastern Connecticut, having stopped shoveling fertilizer at the Army Base in Boston and gone to work for his ex-roommate, Sam Ferguson, selling bricks and building supplies in southern New England.
"I'm leaving for Mystic, Conn., tonight for about a ten-day business trip, and am planning to get up to Boston before I leave for a brief visit. If I don't make it, pass on my regards to all the Boston sachems, and of course, any others that you may encounter.
"As for myself, I'm still C. P. A.-ing for Leach, Rindfleisch, and Scott, and undetermined whether to thank God for all the crazy tax legislation being passed in Washington or to cuss somebody out for all the additional work it's bringing into our fold. I vacillate from day to day, depending on the particular problem involved.
"Bobby and I still reside at 2720 West Grace St., this city (Richmond, Va.), and still offer the information that the latchstring is always out to '29ers and their friends. No additions to the family to report, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, no further news."
Joe D'Esopo, from Hanover:
"Very, very sorry not to have written you by the gth. I have been away all week, returning yesterday afternoon to step into intensive rehearsal of the Chocolate Soldier, which is to be played at Carnival this year. You may recall our doing the show just ten years ago, when they put me in the juvenile part of Alexius. This time appropriately enough the part of old man Popoff has been assigned to me.
"It appears that I have been devoting my life to the enjoyment of these amateur theatricals, occupying my spare time keeping the Dartmouth-Bermuda tradition in its berth next to football and carnival. It's a small institution but there are those.
. . . . The success of our trip has always resulted from the easy appeal 'to get away from the Hanover snow and slush.' This year it may have to be 'to get away from the dust and germs.' We haven't had a quart of snow that was worth snapping a ski at since November. Dan Hatch has his Swiss ski-master Walter Prager rarin' to go, Fordy and Peggy Sayre have terraced the lot back of the Inn and furnished a ski hut there, but the best they can do is wait and pray. The situation hits us like a drought hits the Mid-West But wait! It's beginning to snow and it looks real Quick, grab your skis No, no, it's stopping.
"Charlie Dudley is making headlines, what with his broadcasting at the invitation of Marshall Field in Chicago, who splurged to the extent of a full page ad on him. We understand that Charlie has completed his third volume on skiing. This will be called 'When We Ski,' and will be published very soon.
"Johnny Parker is busy building the best football, basketball, and baseball teams the Hanover High School has ever known. In addition to all this Johnny is building his reputation as a toastmaster and public speaker; his best recent job being that of handling the ceremonies at a testimonial dinner to Red Rolfe down in Penacook.
"Good old man about town Ellie Cavanagh has completed his work at the Medical School here; is now finishing up at Columbia. We saw him only occasionally, but somehow we miss him.
"Another good man burning up the wires for more snow is Herb McCreery, who runs the wholesale ski department at the Dartmouth Co-Op. We see very little of Herb at this season, because in spite of the weather he can't get his stock in fast enough to meet the demand. Wires demanding that he rush orders break out all over him. We think he'll come through all right, though.
"This dope will give you a line on what '29 is doing in Hanover, and should you desire some information on what Hanover is doing to '29 and all other Dartmouth men let me recommend you subscribe to the Daily Dartmouth, and above all to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. If you know of anyone who really can't afford the $2.50 I'll be glad to make them a loan of my copy each month."

Ellie Cavanagh has settled his family at 70 Hazen Ave., New York, for two years, while he finishes his medical course at Columbia Medical Center. Marge complains that already the Class Baby and his kid brother have lost that healthy Hanover jargon and are fast becoming city boys. More's the pity!
Charlie Goldsmith's annual message came penned on his Christmas card (which by the way is a much appreciated custom. Why don't a few more of you take it up?).
"It seems as though this is the only timeof the year I bring myself to the point ofthe pen and scribble a line to you. Forstatistical purposes: I am still with theMetro-Goldwyn-Mayer at the home officein New York, engaged in foreign production from the New York angle .... thatis, the New York contact with our foreignstudios. Still unmarried, but not hopelessly—despite the ill bodings of fallinghair back in 1928, and despite the bets of Dick Robin and Shep Stone that I wouldbe eligible for the front row of any showin a few years. I am still holding on by theroots and the 'pile' on this aging skull isstill good covering. Heard from Marv JBraverman, who is still with the R F C inWashington, and Bernie Berman, a busymedico in Waterbury, Conn."
Then there was Art Nighswander with a cheery report on progress as one of New Hampshire's younger lawyers.
Earl Fyler's card included the name of his wife, Harriet, and enclosed was a card which announces their marriage: Harriet Morgan and Earl Fyler, June 4, 1936.
