1933
Our Fifth was fulgent, furious, and fabulous. It was not felonious, fantastic, or fatal. It may have been fertile. We don't know as yet.
If you require further evidence of the truth of this statement, we offer the photograph which appears elsewhere in this section. It shows the. great and glorious class assembled at Storrs Pond just before they rushed to dinner. If you are wondering why it was possible to keep such a large group still long enough to pose, let us explain by stating that admission to the festive board was made conditional upon a successful completion of the said picture.
Shortly after the final exposure was made the crowd as one man rushed to the serving tables in a mad, savage, bestial quest for food. Two photographers, one cook, and three wives were trampled under foot.
In case you find it difficult to explain the presence of the two next-to-nude gen tlemen in the foreground.... they are friendly Indians, who were attracted to the site from the surrounding forest by the fragrant and bewitching odor of firewater.
The gentleman at the right in the blue coat is the much advertised Allen Foley, who weathered several rainstorms and finally was forced to give his long-heralded speech in the Hockey Rink. Needless to say the offering was enthusiastically received.
Hank Pierce seems to be in the picture too, but if anyone is willing to set about explaining Hank, he has more courage than this operator.
1933 COPPED A CUP
We won the 1930 Cup given annually to that class having the largest number registered at eleven o'clock on Saturday morning. 1933 had 153 signed up at that time, and they kept pouring in until late in the evening.
Some noisy undergraduates who were playing Softball under the aegis of Kappa Kappa Kappa were silenced summarily and sent home by an all-'33 team on which Smart, Connelly, Dewey, and Mackey starred.
Bill Forbes has become quite rotund.
... .Also Dick Gerstell The claret flowed only once. That was the time when Dr. John Davidson was caught poaching upon the preserves of Atty. Will Doyle, S. J. D Babson made the illusion of a return to undergraduate days complete when he appeared on the scene in a slightly wall-eyed condition Winnie Hobbs was combining a honeymoon and a reunion. Several lewd classmates were over-emphatic in their good-nights to him, and he and his newly acquired helpmate were rather drunkenly serenaded.
The Sunday morning business meeting approved, or at least failed to object to the expenditures reported for the preceding five years, and selected an executive committee after several pressing constitutional questions had been raised and resolved as a result of the quick thinking of Prof. John Meek. The aforesaid committee through its chairman, Pete Grace, announced several weeks ago with surprising lack of enthusiasm the re-election as secretary-chairman of that briefless barrister of Connecticut who had already taken the ALUMNI MAGAZINE through one year in the Home Owners' Loan Corp. and three years at the Harvard Law School.
And while we are on the subject of lawyers (as it seems we always are) it might be well to mention that Lee Eckels was re-elected treasurer of the class and also that he is now associated with Thorp, Bostwick, Reed, and Armstrong, 2812 Grant Building, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Mr. and Mrs. George Bowyer Young of New York City announced the marriage on May 14 of their daughter Margaret Josephine to Dick Graves.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dutton Thrall of Minneapolis had the honor to announce the marriage on September 7 of their daughter Mary Elizabeth to Wood Foster.
As a sort of carry-over from reunion Bill Dewey assumed the liabilities which are attendant upon the imposition of the holy deadlock. Complete details are not at hand, however.
Don Seixas in a recent letter stated that he and Janette Rogers of his own town expected to be j. in h.w. on September 17. Mr. Seixas is in the purchasing department of the American Can Cos. So if you're in the market just stick out your can and Mr. Seixas will take appropriate steps.
Charlie Webster's duties as office manager for the National Biscuit Company have finally brought him to Memphis, Tenn., where he, his wife, Barbara Anne, and Philip spend much of their time yearning for the "clear, spicy air of the green hills of Hanover."
Charlie is the first one to promise to be present at the reunion in 1943!
See you at one of those early season games such as Bates or Princeton! !
