Class of 1913
Earle S. Bidwell of Hartford was elected major of the First Company, Governor's Horse Guard, at a special meeting in December in the Cavalry Armory, West Hartford, Conn. Major Bidwell succeeds Major James L. Howard. Accompanying this no- tice in the Hartford Courant was a swell picture of Earle.
Christmas is over, and the Secretary received an unusually interesting and dif- ferent set of Christmas cards from many of the class. Thanks to all.
Milt Aronowitz advises that he and Mrs. Aronowitz with Bill and Bernice Mason will surely be in Hanover for the 25th. He wrote that Harold McAllister dropped in to see him at his office in Albany, N. Y., in December. Another daughter has been added to the family since Milt reported last, but a later issue will have to give name and details.
Joe Barnett broke his silence and sent from Chicago: "I expect to bring my sonJack with me to Hanover in June. Classnotes in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE,—my comment is that the guys Towler and Appleyard never amounted to 'nothing' untilthis publicity man Ivy League Wilkins tookhold and put them over. Cunningham,Mac Donald, Barends, Manley, and I justvaguely remember the pair as a couple ofunder-privileged lads mooching cigarettesaround the Beta House. Will cut themdown to size at Hanover." Joe is with Puck, the comic weekly, in the Palmolive Building. "Squeaks from the Golden Gate" carried a note for Vermonters and others:
"If you are not a regular reader of Life, let us recommend that you call at thelibrary and review the November 15, 1937,issue. The paintings by Paul Sample '20and the quick glance at his life are inspirational. Remember him at college onthe saxophone, as an athlete, then thoseyears of health-building in the Adirondacks, leading up to his real life of painting. Paul has always said, 'Likes Pasadena,but those three months each year in Vermont are better.' His wife is daughter ofFred Howland '87. As for his paintingsask any New Englander if they aren't real. Say, our Line Wilson '13, a Lyndonvillerhimself, can tell you plenty about that'Band Concert' sketch. You sure rang thebell there, 'Pab'!"
Announcement was made on January 1, 1938, of the formation of the firm, Ralph E. Samuel & Company, 115 Broadway, New York City, members N. Y. Stock Exchange, N. Y. Curb Exchange, and Commodity Exchange, Inc. Good luck, Ralph! Keith Wood sailed about the first of January for Spain. He goes for General Motors Export Division. He writes on December 29: "I am leaving the country this week tobe gone for some time. It is Spain for me.Have to stop that revolution somehow, sohere goes. Will not be able to be in Hanover in June, which I had hoped, to makebut such is the life of a jolly exporter. SawChuck Riley the other day, the only '13man I have seen in years. Anyhow, tellsome of the old soaks to have a drink forme in June.
"Best of everything to you fellows. Ihope some day before we are all too old,to be able to see you again.
"How time goes. My daughter runs toHanover everytime the doors open, butPa can't get there even for his 25th."
Word did arrive from Bill Pierce at 67 Alfred Drowne Rd., Barrington, R. 1., that Catherine Winifred, a ten-pound girl, did arrive on October 16, 1937. "Arthur,born in July, 1935, is thrilled to have ababy sister."
As this column is being prepared, it is time to wish everyone a Happy New Year. When you read it, if you do, the wishes will be a little late but none the less sincere, and may the New Year be a prosperous one for you.
1913 Up
The dormitory to be assigned for our use at Commencement will depend upon the reservations received after the Com mencement notices are mailed by the College. As soon as you receive this notice and blank, please fill out and mail it direct to Hanover. One of the best groups of dorms on the east side of the campus will be available if our response is satisfactory. "Do it now" as soon as the notices are received from Hanover.
You may get fed up with requests for signatures, reports, and dope between now and June, but please realize it is comparatively easy for you to give information requested. Imagine, if you can, the work assembling all the answers. Your word is easy to give, but believe me it takes time to gather all together and make plans, whether it is the College that completes the job or yours truly.
We have just received the sad news of the death of George M. Munroe in Joliet, I11., following a long illness. The deepest sympathy of the entire class goes to Ruth and George Barber Munroe.
