Class of 1932
John Sheldon continued his excellent custom of sending me a Christmas card with a dash of class news on it. He says that Steve Harwood went out to Omaha to work for Goodyear, was married out there on December 19 to Mary Alice Rogers, and is now back in Chicago working for the American Locomotive Cos. John was in Denver last summer, saw Dutch Litzenberger and Eddie Toothaker, and alleges that although the latter's daughter may not be the class baby he'll put his money on her as being the cutest. The Chicago group seems to be getting properly wheed up about the great June gathering on Hanover plain, when all the braves will get on their iron mustangs to come back to the land of their childhood for heap big fun-powwow.
On February 5 Miss Anne Diefenbach of Newark will become Mrs. George Pettengill.
We repeat here for the benefit of any new husbands the plea (the veiled warning in fact), we made last month to Mrs. Jim Shevlin that this recent change in these worthy men's status mustn't under any circumstances prevent them from being in Hanover for Reunion. And lest any good wife be under the misapprehension that she will have to give up the Other Half's company at this time, let it be declared that there is no law written or unwritten which says that females are personae ingratae at this function; for it has been established by the experience of other reuning classes that a feminine contingent is a gracious and welcome addition to the merriment.
Recent engagement announcements include those of:
Miss Lois Foster of Manhasset, L. 1., to Jim Moore.
Miss Marjorie Louise Mclntyre of Demarest, N. J., to Morry Howard.
Miss Olive May Van Divort of Nutley, N. J., to Bob Fendrich.
The only other announcement more or less formal in nature which has come to my attention this month sets forth that Fred Gage, in association with two other men, has opened an office for the general practice of law in New Rochelle.
Handy Auten writes an apologetic note, the gist of which is that he's too busy interning even to think of getting around to see any of the boys in the Chicago district, with the consequence that he couldn't contribute much news this time. He claims to average only eight hours a week out of the hospital (St. Luke's), but evidently plans to start saving these up from now on, because he claims he's going to make a great effort to be at Reunion.
A clipping from an unidentified newspaper of unknown date relates that:
"Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Mayo Jr. havesailed their 34-foot ketch from Provincetown to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where theyplan to spend the winter. Mr. Mayo is anauthor. His wife is a dancer, with studiosin Provincetown and New York."
Percy Stone, who left college after his freshman year and went to Stanford, is now a salesman for the Schwabacher-Frey Cos, of San Francisco.
I was home in Youngstown over Christmas, but didn't know at the time that Fritz Browning is an interne at the City Hospital there.
The present locations of the following lads who work for the Firestone Tire & Rubber Cos. are: Win Smover—Los Angeles, Jim Miller—Akron, John Palmer—Detroit.
Lest the heading over this column last month, give rise to the impression that Harvard and I have separated and I am back in New York, let me direct your attention to my correct address given above, where I will be on hand any evening to be served personal summonses and where mail will reach me any old time. How about trying this out?
