1932
Remember your freshman cap—with a green, or was it a white, button topping off its silly shape? Well, if you still have it up in the attic there's a decade of dust on that dink!
Yes sir! It's ten full years since you climbed cautiously up Parkhurst's steps to pay your initial respects to Prexy; ten years since the dither of Delta Alpha and the fevered frenzy of the football rush; ten years since you threw that first Nugget peanut.
Where are they now?
Well, from Hudson, N. Y., comes word that Bill McCall "banged his way into the doubles finals in the local tennis county tournament and then proceeded to perform amazing acrobatics to take the title away from a much younger, favored pair."
And from Denver, Harry Litzenberger reports that he and Toothaker "battled on opposing sides of a softball game at a Dartmouth picnic two weeks ago. Needless to say all home runs were three-baggers, there being the customary keg on third."
And from a vacation in Ireland, Chuck Owsley confides that the beer formula common in Hanover in '32 did not differ materially from that used in the Guinness brewery.
And in Hollywood, Bob Ryan is beginning a dramatic course with Max Reinhardt, who produced one "Miracle" and may be able to turn out another. "The idea," Bob writes, "is that maybe after a few months I can impress some West Coast genius with the idea of paying me for making faces I start September 15 and continue until they turn out the house lights. The sunshine, of course, is thrown in for nix." Bob comes to L.A.'s lunatic fringe from a Chicago job in the business department of the city's board of education.
Further academic honors have been received by Charley Moritz, who was awarded a Cramer Fellowship by Dartmouth for the year 1935-1936 and has been teaching at the University of Idaho. This year he will have the opportunity of studying in France at the Roscoff Biological Station and at the University of Paris with Professor Maurice Caullery through the grant of a French Science Fellowship by the French Government.

The Clark address in Cambridge will be 6 Shaler Lane. John informs that Red Tucker will shortly tour Texas, California, and much of the rest of the country for the FDIC, tuning up local offices on a new bank examining formula.

Callan of Mount Vernon. Morry Hubbard and the writer were among the Dartmouth contingent at a lovely wedding. Russ and his bride are living in Princeton.
In August, Jim Wakelin, studying for his Ph.D. in physics at Yale, was married to Margaret Cushing Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry F. Smith of Concord, Mass. The bride is a 1932 Smith graduate. Jim received an honours degree from Cambridge in 1934.
Reuel Denney, teaching in Buffalo, can now dedicate his poems to Ruth Norton, whom he married this summer. The couple had their wedding trip in New Hampshire.
Paul Fox will be wed some time this fall to June Elisabeth Dings, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Edwin Dings of Scarsdale, N. Y.

No such marital entanglements for Dutch Litzenberger, who writes that business and blondes, golf and fishing just about cover everything, with no imminent change in his bachelor status. Harry hopes to make a business and sightseeing trip to Mexico this fall, taking in the Stanford game en route. He saw Tom Kiddoo, who visited Denver with his wife this summer, and introduced him to badminton. "I expect now he will be batting around the elusive feathered dart in Chicago," writes Harry—"that is, if they can keep the feathers white back there."
