Class of 1929

Secretary, 75 Federal St., Boston

Once in awhile I would enjoy making a little news myself and filling a bit of space in this column with something about what goes on in the Andres tepee, and every once in awhile I would have the chance if someone like Christian Eckhardt Born didn't come along and phrase the matter in such a way that I am forced to withdraw my announcement in favor of his, which goes like this, being word for word as he wrote it, with no changes made: "121 Intervale Road Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts

January 3, 1938

"Since reading your letter in the December issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, and especially after the 13 th of December, when you phoned to announce the arrival of Anita, your second daughter, Jane and I have been giving extra special thought to finding the feminine counterpart of 'Butch.' As yet, we have found no name so easily expressed—or so eloquent—but hope to do so before the Tenth Reunion.

"It is possible that Anita will take as much interest in our Tenth as will Conrad Christian (Butch for short—or even Conrad). On the other hand, perhaps little Kay has heard us yell and groan once too often while listening to the Yale game on the radio, and will caution her about Dartmouth gatherings.

"In spite of all the a hove, Jane and I are happy that Kay and 'Artichoke' ('cause we ought-to-choke Andres) are doing so well; and we know that innumerable others in the class wish you all good luck and many more. In closing, I can't help thinking how lucky we were that 'Butch' and 'Artichoke' weren't bom bald. Long live the custom! "CHRIS."

As I have been telling some of you fellows, who can't seem to have anything but sons, "It's fine to have one beautifuldaughter, but you really have no right todo much boasting until you have a pair."

Received this long-awaited concerto from Eddie Plumb, just too late for the January issue. Written from 2056 Mayview Drive, Hollywood, Calif., December 10, 1937:

"Your guess that I am enjoying the work here is a very good one. My duties as one of the six musical directors at Disney's has consisted, until recently, in the arranging for orchestra of the material composed by the other directors. My last job in the ca- pacity of an arranger was on the feature length cartoon 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,' which will be released this month. Since then I have been assigned to four shorts for which I will compose my own scores. These pictures won't be released for another six months or so, but their titles are 'Brave Little Tailor,' 'Mother Goose Goes Hollywood,' 'The Practical Pig,' and 'Mickey's Parrot.' There are a couple of other Dartmouths in the studio in the persons of Jack Rose '2B, who sold Disney on the idea of my coming out—and A1 Perkins '25. Jack is head of the story department and is putting his art and business experience to excellent use. A1 Perkins is a roving author and is at present adapting 'Pinochio'—which will be released as a full length feature in a year or so. I've talked to Robert Allen (ne Ted Behr) on the telephone, but haven't seen him as yet.

"A permanent golf season goes a long way toward converting me to the enthusiasm of a native, though New York becomes a pleasanter place to live in every month I'm away from it. Thanks for your letter. Your friendly interest in such a persistent 'non-correspondent' as I have been makes me feel even more of a heel than I really am

Slim Corrigan, the squire of Crescent Farms, Bradentown, Fla., citrus fruit grower and shipper par excellence, is claiming to be the producer of the firsttwins in our class. The twins were born about a year ago; a boy and a girl, giving Slim a fine family of three boys and a girl. If there are any adverse claimants to Slim's title and distinction, their claims will be given due consideration.

Ellie and Marj Cavanagh are getting ready to move their family back to Hanover again next June, Ellie just having received an appointment to the Mary Hitchcock Hospital for a two years' interneship.
