1930*

Your scribe's garrulity still under restraint of editorial straight-jacket, we proceed in clipped phrases to give you information of far-flung '30 men HERM SANDER, whose love for mountain ski trails (once to his grief) is only matched by devotion to medical career, combines both loves, is interne at Mountainside Hospital, Montclair TED SAUNDERS moves from assistant managership of Lincoln Store in Syracuse to manager of store in New Bedford On the letterhead of the Boston Lying-in Hospital, which features a stork which is perfectly cute, writes GENE SCADRON: "At the above address in capacity of house officer and will probably stay on till January first, 1940 .... am still fascinated by the ancient phenomenon! Up here the birth-cry is with a broad A .... all else as before; even in Boston " Fuller Information Department gives us the name of FRED SCHMIDT'S bride, Frances McConnell; date of wedding, March 7, 1936; and birth of daughter, Joanne Frances, March 12, 1938 AL SCHUMAKER, paper industry consultant, moves from Nyack into the city with Williamson Research Corp., 350 Madison Ave.

Here's a late flash: CHARLIE RAYMOND'S engagement to Miss Elinor Wheelock Page of Belmont, Mass. (Wheaton College '34) announced October si and duly celebrated. Participating in celebration, of course, was CHANDLER. BOB WALKER, CARL HAFFENREFFER and your scribe took proper notice the day after.

Also just arrived in time for late insertion here is news of arrival of Judith Russell GRAY on June 3 last at Lawrence General Hospital. Russ is "still enjoying sales supervisory work with N. E. Tel. & Tel. Co."

Frank Hardinge '31 supplies photo of FUJI on board ship with stable of wrestlers whom Fuji took in hand, later giving customary Fujiyama hospitality in Tokio (worth by all accounts, crossing the Pacific for in itself) CHARLIE HUMISTON expresses satisfaction with outcome of Princeton game and moderate satisfaction with '30 environment, which included JESSUP, VANDERBECK, RUGG, HOWE and BLAKE (Eb) CHARLIE RAUCH, Wood, Strutilers' chief operator in Hartford, casually mentions call from BEN FINCH "several weeks ago on his way to Boston to take 5.5. Vulcajiia back to London" where, we judge, Ben will resume work for the National City Bank BUD FRENCH expresses lack of complete satisfaction with the class dinner in New York on the 20th, attended by so Thirtymen as against our customary 50 or 60. Bud enumerates the following as having been present: "WEAVER, MORRILL, MCGRATH, JESSUP, BOOTH, BOTTOME, MARSTERS, BILL BROWN, KINDERMAN, FERGUSON, SQUIRE, PAT O'BRIEN, GRANGER, FRANSON, BOWES, WASMER, RAUBE, GALBRAITH, FINK, EB BLAKE, HOBBS and your servant."

Another French-supplied item is AL MARSTERS' departure from legal department of the Federal Trade Commission to department of the American Optical Company in Southbridge, Mass., where Al will doubtless hear something of the Dartmouth Eye Institute under whose patents the A. O. Co. manufactures lens and equipment having to do with that Dartmouth- discovered defect, aniseikonia. Marsters and BOTTOME, horsey to the end, pulled out early for the Rodeo FERGUSON, noted under the stands at Cambridge, reports new business address at 84 Wililams Street and new residence at 25 East 86th Street, otherwise having no intelligence to offer We don't know whom the STU WARNERS expected to find in Hanover on the Harvard week-end. Anyway they didn't find us.

Bibliophile GIBBONS, late of Paris, Cairo and Washington, D. C., libraries is at Fair Harvard working on that M.A. that he started on some time back at the University of Edinburgh HANK GILBERT, who went from Harvard Business School to the Pacific Company in 1932 with his M.B.S., is still there; which makes us wonder what the Pacific Company is, anyway. Hank has a new address at 1173 North Ardmore Street, Los Angeles Too bad we haven't room to develop that "Big Green to Bowling Green" theme as Valedictorian AL HAYES, late of Duquesne, is now assistant professor of English at Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio. The Bowling Green Big Green's Big Green granddaddy, incidentally, was J. W. Hayes, 1860.... As a lover of long titles, we give you Special Assistant to Vice President and Treasurer HOWARD A. HEIMBACH of McCreery's, New York, after earlier connections at Macy's and at Mandel Brothers, Chicago. .... FRED HOOPER, West Hartford, Connecticut, teacher, literary executor of late Professor MacKaye's tardily records August, 1937, marriage to Eleanor Wallace of Littleton, New Hampshire The Hanover visit of the PETE FORDS, we now learn from wife Marge, was first for her and for 4-year-old Garry; with eloquent exclamation point she adds "Arrived home Tuesday—hurricane Wednesday!" Long Lost ALEX HUGHES turns up in New York with Brooks Appliance Company Another fugitive, JAY ALEXANDER of Media, Pa., goes down as operator for Gulf Refining And JERE ANNIS, who got his medical degree from Minnesota, doctored a Minneapolis CCC Camp, put in a two-year fellowship at Mayo's, now turns up in Lakeland, Florida, looking for early snow And while among the medicos, we find HANK BIRGE at long last coming back to rest in Hartford, as an ophthalmologist, after having himself just finished two years at Mayo's.

ED SCHUSTER, the perfect '30 man (unbroken Alumni Fund and ALUMNI MAGAZINE subscription records) reports with his last check "Am still holding on." Have received no correction of probably wise- cracking 1932 information from Ed: "assistant to assistant secretary, H. C. Bohack Company 'The Stores of Friendly Service' (fancy groceries, bakery products, prime meats, pork products) Jamaica, N. Y." .... DICK SQUIRE is assistant personnel director of Hahne and Company, Newark, where Ev Low is divisional controller and buyer of gloves, hosiery, umbrellas Here is News: TEX STIGALL, reported in 1935 as junior member of firm of "Ritchie and Goggans, Attorneys," we now find at new address with "Goggans and Ritchie, Attorneys." .... PAUL THOMPSON, daddy of 1-year-old Bruce, is assistant professor of English at the University of Colorado TICKLE TIEDTKE'S efforts to rehabilitate Florida real estate, spur on new agricultural enterprise, frustrated, our scouts report, by agricultural regimentation. Is this true, John?

BUD FRENCH'S prophecy in the Thirty- teer last spring ("WASMER will become a papa next September") fulfilled, as Walter J. Wasmer Jr. arrives at Floral Park, September 5. Sooner or later little Wally will get mixed up in the ink which his daddy sells for H. D. Roosen Company Buzz WHITELAM moves from Fisk Rubber to marketing department of Winchester Repeating Arms Company, New Haven JACK WOOSTER has left Lazard Freres for the Clark Thread Company. Further details yet unsupplied WEE WRIGHT is one of more consistent brethren; started with Armstrong Cork in Lancaster, Pa., in 1930; in 1938 is still there, as economist, having in the meantime, in December, 1931, joined the benedicts, which makes him an old veteran DICK ZEIGLER, after having worked in hotels in Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, Indianapolis, and Chicago as auditor and assistant manager, now goes back to Indianapolis as manager of the Hotel Antlers.

DEANE LENT brings us up to date. The old Tubular Rivet and Stud man says: "In July, 1936, progress being snail-like, and the future particularly murky, I decided 'now was the time for all good men' —and on the 25 th married Rachael Jeanetta Cosby of Westfield, Mass." A year later "they bade Tubular Rivets and Studs a fond goodbye," and Deane became machine draftsman for Forbes Lithograph Manufacturing Company, Chelsea, studying at M.I.T. evenings, and worked himself into a job as instructor in the mechanical engineering department of the Institute for this year, having meanwhile grubbed in summer school. Deane by writing this good letter lets himself out of the doghouse. .... The Jam Handy Picture Service, Inc., Detroit, is, for heaven's sake, the place where SHORTY LONG has leaped from price engineering for Western Electric. Furthermore, Shorty is classified as a "writer" for Jam Handy, a nice paradox in these days, when the picture is killing off the sacred printed word SANDY MCCULLOCH, the bridegroom chemist of Alden Speare's Sons Company, Cambridge, was missed during a Hanover visit TED MCDONALD, the air transport man, now moves to General Petroleum Corp., Portland, Oregon NORM MCGRATH of McDougall-Butler Company, Buffalo, ought to be well on the way to submission, as he rounds out his first year as a family man this month.

And now for a few wedding announcements: "Mr. and Mrs. Harry King Hamilton request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter Virginia Lee to DR. WARREN GRIFFITH PARISH on Saturday, the eighth of October at half after four o'clock, First Presbyterian Church, East Cleveland."

"Mr. and Mrs. Fred G. Mclntyre announce the marriage of their daughter Edith Helen to MR. JACKSON BOWLIN MOORE Sunday afternoon, September the eighteenth, nineteen hundred and thirty- eight, at Eagle River, Wisconsin. At Home after the first of November, 4134 North Keystone Avenue, Chicago, Illinois." Erratum—Julie HAMM was born April 14, 1937, and not August 14 as reported in the last issue.

EARL SELDON, who has attended more schools than most (University of Michigan, Babson Institute, Harvard Law School) has got himself into the wholesale seed business in St. Paul, the SeldonWatts Seed Company, "Recleaners and Shippers, Red Clover, Alfalfa, Alsike, Timothy, etc," a company which he organized last. June, since which time they have built their own plant. Machinery and equipment just being completed and business going on for a month. Earl reports pleasant evenings with silent Thirty- teers FOBES, SEIDL, and wives LEE CHILCOTE scratches FRANK NEFF off last spring's list of putative bachelors. Junie was married November 7, 1936, to Ann Bundy of Cleveland, Ohio, Lee reports, adding that "Ann is not only a very nice girl, attractive, etc., but also a good golf and tennis player, as well as this year's women's squash champion of Cleveland." Junie boasts something of a squash game himself. Maybe somebody will tell us what he does for a living at 710 Bulkley Building.

HANK NEWELL, encountered in Concord Railroad Station meeting train his wife didn't catch, has been, as BUD FRENCH reported last June, working on architectural problems of the Aerial Tramway Commission of New Hampshire. Hank's tramway is now in operation, the first aerial passenger tramway in North America, on Cannon Mountain in Franconia Notch. Skiers of the ilk of BOB WALKER, CHARLIE RAYMOND, etc. will doubtless make it a paying venture STAN OSGOOD operated the Chapel Theatre, a summer stock company at Great Neck, Long Island, during the recently closed season, using such Hollywood talent as Elissa Landi, Sidney Fox, Fay Wray, and so forth; longed, nevertheless, for "the air-conditioned hills of New Hampshire." No flash on Stan's activities at the present moment DICK PARKER writes, "Well, I finally got it [presumably the doctor's degree]. Besides the degree, I have an appointment as epigrapher with the Oriental Institute expedition at Luxor, Egypt, for the coming winter season. From October 15 to April 15, 1939, my address will be Chicago House, Luxor." Dick and wife sailed on the Georgic September 17 Concerning BOB RELYEA, from Bob's brother-in-law, Ted Howard '28, via Curly Prosser '28, we learn Bob is with the Hartford Steamboiler Insurance Company, living in West Hartford, and presumably due for assignment to agency work soon.

JACK RICH'S daughter Nancy Winslow was born April 10 last "None other than Captain CHARLES H. ADAMS phoned me the other day as he passed through here with Velma en route to Boston, Ft. Monroe, Virginia, and other eastern points," writes BUD FRENCH. Charlie is on furlough from his post as assistant adjutant at CCC headquarters at Fort Lewis, Wash Had a nice Hanover visit with ED BENOIST, self-styled "office boy" of the Automatic Electric Company. We learn in fact that he is assistant general manager and is any number of vice presidents, such as of Automatic Electric Sales Company, Ltd., American Electric Sales Company, and so forth and so forth. This information hard to get, Benoist modesty being what it is WILLARD"BROWNIE" BROWN and girl friend Polly made a brief September appearance. Brownie's insurance business in Newark received much less discussion than the affairs of SELDON-Watts Seed Company above mentioned Have we ever reported JACK DOBSON'S confession that he was "forging" his way up in the steel industry with the Midvale Company at 120 Broadway? Jack has been in metallurgical research for aeronautics, trader in securities, and chemical salesman. He was maried October 30, 1937, to Ruth E. Penwarden, an event we missed in these columns BOB DUNLAP'S January 5, 1935, bride was Sally Spiehler. Home town not given. Bob remains a Cincinnati broker.

We extended the class' sympathy to the HANK EMBREES in July. At 8:30 A.M. on July 19 Hank Jr., who was born last December, was apparently in perfect health. At 9 o'clock he had an attack of a sudden virulent type of pneumonia which strikes like lightning, without symptoms. Twenty minutes later the boy was gone. Expression of the sympathy all '30 men will feel, especially '30 daddies, who can better guess what a tragedy like this would mean, is unnecessary.

The GEORGE FISHERS spent five weeks this summer visiting England and Scotland "from Tintagel to Inverness—very lovely".... We missed the PETE FORDS this month. Pete is associated with the Dates Laundry Service of Kenmore, N. Y.... FREDDIE BOWES shared with four others the honor of naming C. V. Whitney's colt by Man o'War out of Top- flight. In the New York World Telegram's "Name a Baby Department" Freddie proposed "Sky Raider," which won approval of Mr. Whitney and three judges. The horsey interests of Batten, Barton, Durstine, and Osborn Bowes came in for World Telegram, publicity Filling in gaps in the career of DR. DON HIGHT since the Children's Hospital, Boston, and the Palmer Memorial Hospital, Brookline, we find Don finishing an appointment as assistant resident in surgery at the Albany Hospital on July 1 and going back to Boston for still another year, this time as surgical resident at the Massachusetts State Cancer Hospital, name of which we can't decipher CARL JENSON pulls a new one. Writing on the letterhead of Walt Disney Productions, a gay slip of paper if we ever saw one, on behalf of the story research department, Carl asks for-what? Purest whimsy—six copies of our old Evolution syllabus. Dreaming back to dreamy post-luncheon hours in 1926, we wonder whether we are nuts, as we read that something strange and wonderful in the way of entertainment is to come out of this Evolution syllabus, or whether Carl is. You guess.

And how about some babies? We give you first Reed St. Clair Browning, born August 26 to ART and Martha BROWNING in New York And Getchell Brewster Cole joined SHAW, Joan, and 2-year-old little Joan three days later (August 39). This we know to be a fact, even though Getchell's slightly confused daddy wrote on September 24 that he was glad to report the birth of a son on "October 29, 11:15 A.M. Fall River, Mass." By this time Shaw will have settled down to graduate work in sanitary engineering at N. Y. U., even though well enough educated already, we figure, as a civil engineer (1931).

The 1930 Solidarity Movement gains fine momentum, as Carl Haffenreffer receives flood of checks for dues: Meanwhile, your scribe remains in delirium of delight over multitudes of readers.
