1935*

It is one of my greatest regrets as class secretary that there isn't a Yale game every month. Invariably it is tops as a source of news, and this year was no exception. Spent the day with the Washburns and Rocky Rockwell, of whom, more anon. Rode one of those marvelously ancient street cars out to the Bowl, and we were no sooner inside the gate than we ran into Bob Collins and fiancee, Miss Josychim Coad. Their engagement was announced at a party in Omaha, October 1, Bob going out for the occasion. He is now staff accountant for New Jersey Bell Telephone in Newark.

The rest of the day was pleasantly filled with Dartmouth touchdowns and familiar faces. Art Fisher and Bob Ferry were bustling about during the half, while Yank Price was sauntering in his usual manner. Yank is a text representative for the John C. Winston Cos., with a territory around New Britain, Conn. There were plenty of parties after the game, and I ran into Fraser and Mathers, both relaxing from business worries. Charlie Gow was about with tales of his Howard Johnson roadside restaurants in Boston and Providence, both doing very well, thank you. He did complain, however, that there were few '35ers to be seen. Sven Karlen, looking dapper, was up from New York, where he is credit manager for Time. Sven was in a huddle with Roy Reuther and Dick O'Daniel. Saw Eddie Hinman from a distance, he being located in Quebec, where he is engaged in the paper business. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Lane, looking very happy, were being trailed by Mac McCarty, Mac being busy greeting people on passing trolleys. Mac is now with Steve Hannagan Associates—publicity work I believe.

Later in the day Carl Fischer joined us at dinner, taking a final fling before moving to the Canal Zone with the Air Corps. Jim Averill (not seen at the game) is another aviator, being stationed at Hamilton Field, Calif. Put Kingsbury, and to my surprise, Mrs. Kingsbury, were "trucking on down" at the Taft Grill. Hadn't heard about Mrs. Kingsbury, Put, how about the details?

As a finale, A. Conklin was stamping about the New Haven station about eleven o'clock, complaining that he could not get a train for two hours.

If I thought any of you had an atlas handy I'd quote Link Washburn's itinerary for a geological trip last summer, but as it is I'll pass it off by saying that he did some very valuable research on Victoria Island (north of Hudson's Bay), taking in quite a bit of territory in the going and coming. Next summer will see him back for a continuation of the work. Right now he is studying at Yale.

To go further afield, Bob Hage, still fighting the nation's colds with Vick's, is living at the Dartmouth Club in New York—as is Al Conklin. Bob has been doing a grand job promoting monthly class dinners at the Club, and as an indication of his success—and class spirit—'35 holds the attendance record. If any of you New Yorkers are passing up these dinners at the new club you are missing something.

Howie Kaiser spent his summer sailing on the Sound, dodged the hurricane somehow, and is still pursuing the hosiery business. Jim Irwin was married on November 4 (we would like to know to whom, please) and is heading for Caracas, Venezuela, where he will be with U. S. Rubber. Duke Lansberry is with Prentice-Hall, publishers, and Pop Pierce is with Harper Bros., living in the Village, and boasting a record of "two dogs and one cat." Pop was married July 13, 1935—where have we been?

Paul Lynch writes, "I had a job for a time this summer which would be the millenium for some members of '35." (Why limit it, Paul?) "I was paid $5.00 a day and all expenses by a beverage company to go around from bar to bar, having a beer at each place, to observe the use of their drink. Yes, they paid for the beer too! Back at Columbia Law for third and final year."

Bill Riegelman has passed his bar exams, and I notice we have several other shingles going out. In the legal profession: Sid Diamond, Phil Wilson, Dick Mitchell, and George Hoke. If your teeth are bad Lloyd Markson or Charlie Victorine will fix you up. Hal Orenstein and Frank Van Kirk are among our growing list of doctors, the former at Brooklyn Jewish Hospital in Brooklyn, and the latter at St. Luke's in Chicago.

The number of teachers in the class likewise is on the increase. Paul Hilli is an instructor in physics at Northeastern, Norm Rand is at Emerson School in Exeter, N. H., and Don King has joined Roy Shattuck on the Hanover plain as an instructor in the classics.

Paul Rogers has a note of success about him, being treasurer of the Skinner Chuck Company in New Britain, Conn. The only other titled member of the class I know of off-hand is Dick Hirschland, who is assistant treasurer of Geo. V. Clark Cos., Inc., in Long Island City.

A thing of interest to me is the grow- ing number of '3sers who are active in local alumni groups. Aside from Bob Hage, whom I have already mentioned, Dave Smith is assistant treasurer of the Northern California Association, and active in the big Pow-Wow being held in connection with the Stanford game. Bill Gahagan is also working on the Pow-Wow, and speaking of Bill, I wonder if you all got a copy of the recent issue of the New Hampshire Troubadour? If you did, don't miss the fine article Bill has in it. Getting back to the alumni groups, Hall Colton is treasurer of the Baltimore group, Cramp Carrick is president of the Cheshire County (N. H.) Association, and Reynolds Moulton is secretary of the Portland, Maine, Association. It is good to see '35 start to exercise a bit of leadership in the work, and I hope we have only begun.

Lowell Haas, still with United Air Lines, but now in Frisco, came East this fall for another look at Hanover, and to watch Dartmouth tussle with John Harvard. These fellows who work for transportation companies make me green. Dud Russell came East with Lowell—another plutocrat. I'll bet they had a swell time. Whom did you see?

I'm about out of news again, so I'll knock off long enough for you to feed me a little more. (Adv.)
