Class of 1930
Class Agent Bun Harvey asked me to give one last blast to remind all concerned that he will welcome all contributions regardless of amount. However, he did say that, as of April 24, we needed an average of 113.00 per man in order to reach our "unofficial" quota. To get ready for a hard campaign Bun and Dot sojourned to Bermuda for two weeks in March. Bun also states he saw Warrie Chamberlain in Boston not long ago—"just as smooth and sarcastic as ever."
Plans for the "Twenty Club of New England's" picnic have reached the stage where the time and place can be announced. Time: Sunday, June 6. Place: Boston Outing Club's lakeside reservation at Groton, Mass. Irv Blaine is chairman of the Picnic Committee and he has selected such supernumeraries as Chief Brewer, Mugs Morrill; Chef, Petite Geo. Macomber; Lady in Charge of Victuals, Mildred Wiley; Official Photographer, Doc Miller, etc. From the reports of last year's picnic it's the next best thing to Reunion, and I understand that there are those who even won't concede Reunion first place.
A letter from Dick Kimball dated April 4 said very little about himself except that he was living at 355 W. 14th St., Long Beach, Calif., and that his official title is cannery inspector. The cans he inspects (he didn't go into any detail about them) are located at 157 Fish Harbor Wharf, Terminal Island, Calif. Dick reports a very enjoyable Easter dinner at the Sample domicile. Among the other gormandizers at the above Easter feast was Zack Jordan. Zack is an investment counsellor associated with Page, Hubbard, and Asche. During the 1936 football season he officiated in some of the West Coast's most important games.
I was hoping that for at least one month Pab would cease having honors bestowed upon him, but apparently there is no end to his genius. This month he has chalked up the following victories:
(1) President Roosevelt has selected one of his paintings to be hung in the White House.
(2) Election to membership in the National Academy of Design.
(3) A mural in the Redondo Beach (Calif.) Post Office. This work is in three sections, all six feet high, two of them thirteen feet long and the third twenty-six feet long.
Doctor Baketel, Sherry's dad, recently wrote me, and among other things lauded Spence Snedecor's accomplishments in the medical world. The Doctor states, "He(Spence) is the youngest man ever to become president of the Medical Society ofthe State of New Jersey, which is the oldeststate society in the country. He goes out ofoffice in May with a record second to none.Spence is not only a fine doctor, but a fineman in every way and is a distinct creditto the College and the class." We certainly have our share of men of whom we can be proud.
Sherry, by the way, has for the fifth consecutive year, written more than half a million dollars worth of insurance for the Union Central Life Insurance Co. This makes him a bigwig and rates him a trip to Florida. I mentioned this trip last month but didn't know the details. During the trip several awfully large fish got away, but Sherry did catch a shark weighing over 400 pounds. I probably should have put the weight in quotation marks but out of deference to the Doctor I omitted them.
Another Beta rates an item: Dick Charlock is now associated with W. C. Langely & Co., 115 Broadway, N. Y. C., and is living in Brooklyn, 590 E. 21st St. If Dick changes jobs again I'll have to start another card in the class records.
Last Sunday a voluminous stream-lined truck backed up in front of Don MacDonald's Albany residence and moved his chattels to 60 Walbrooke Rd., Scarsdale, N. Y. Don will be missed in these parts.
Elliott Cheney reports that if you stop in front of 71 Carleton Ave., Washington, N. J., and blow your horn long enough he will probably appear. Or, to repeat it in English, he has moved to another part of Washington.
After I get these items typed and on their way to Hanover I expect to jump in my buggy and follow them. My objective will be attendance at the Secretaries Association's annual meeting.
Speaking of Hanover, why not plan to get up there for at least a day during Commencement? As usual Bowen and I will be there, and if this isn't inducement enough there will no doubt be at least a dozen other '20's present.
This will be the last issue until next fall. This will give you four months to send roe an unprecedented number of news items.
Have a good summer!
Secretary, 158 State St., Albany, N. Y.
