Class of 1931

Well, the dust on the keys has been blown off and the "know-how" fingers loosened up a bit—that is all except the "bowler" .... am wasting no pity on that digit, not after its performance last night on the alleys .... come to think of it, it might be smarter to roll at the duck pins with the little balls the night before setting down at a typewriter

There is one fellow who is starting our new year off on the right foot—BILL GALLEY. He sends in this morning's mail one extra good ten dollar bill which brings the MAGAZINE and a clear conscience re Class dues right on up to our Tenth Reunion. Actions do speak louder than words Bill, so no complaint about lack of news from you. We can glean something from the envelope though "Glidden CompanyTime Tested Paints, etc., 1833 SouthNormal Avenue, Chicago." Then on the subscription blank for the home address-1136 North Elmwood, Oak Park, Illinois.

IN OLD CHICAGO

From the beginning of undergraduate days '31 has always had a strong weakness for Chicago and, though no irrefutable statistics are at hand to prove it, would hazard a guess that even more of the Class are around the Windy City now than ever before. It so happens that quite a few had their names go through the Alumni Records Office recently

Among the natives still ambling along Michigan Boulevard or LaSalle Street are MAC MCCORTNEY, by day at Sears Roe- buck, 925 S. Homan, by night 5240 Sheridan Road

And GEORGE LILL, now Vice President, as you know, of the George Lill Coal Company, 1121 Balmoral Avenue—his home 2341 Commonwealth

And CHET JOHNSON, of Packard TwinSix fame, Room (?) 1231, 47 North Honore Street—parking single six cylinder behind 948 North Austin, Oak Park—business not given

And CHUCK HILL occupied with the Northwestern Yeast Company at 1750 North Ashland Avenue. Chuck married shortly after graduation as most of you know and is now a tax payer in the suburb of Glencoe—wonder if his golf game on occasion blows up as high as that good Northwestern Yeast

And JOI-INNY GOODWlLLlE—transferred his trends, including boxing gloves, over to Graham & Company, 141 West Jackson Boulevard—521 Barry Avenue is the night spot when spending a quiet evening.

And DICK BALDWIN, who sent his attractive Christmas cards out from his office at 100 North LaSalle Street—so can't give you his home number

And RED CHAMBERLAIN, who also sent in Yuletide Greetings, relaxes from his law work at 4418 North Paulina. ....

Besides we find the old Hoosier Orator ED RHETTS maintaining an office at 331 South LaSalle Street and keeping house at 1517 North Dearborn Parkway. ....

And Carnival Ball Chairman SKIPPER HALL works for Aluminum Company at their Michigan Boulevard Office and makes the express most evenings to 818 1/2 Forest Avenue, Evanston. Skip, the Main Office of your Company is just nine floors below right in this building, so do the necessary and get yourself a trip over here —on company expense of course.

Anonymously we received the following clipping from a New York paper dated December 17th:

"Mr. and Mrs. Walter S. Newton ofBrooklyn, announce the engagement oftheir daughter, Miss Marion Newton, toMr. MILLARD OBRIG HALLENBECK, son ofMr. and Mrs. Millard F. Hallenbeck, alsoof Brooklyn.

"Miss Newton is a graduate of the Flatbush School and attended Edgewood ParkJunior College, Greenwich, Conn. Mr.Hallenbeck was graduated from Dartmouth College and is a member of PhiBeta Kappa."

Another announcement of quite a different nature, but which makes good news, comes from Brickley, Sears and Cole, lawyers in the First National Building, Boston, elating the fact that ED LANGENBACH was taken in as a partner in the firm January ist.

Have been looking over the latest bulle-

tin put out by the Dartmouth Outing Club of New York. It is pretty hard to believe that CHUCK BRIGGS and DUTCH HOLLAND are the only two Vers active in the organganization. How about some of the rest of your New Yorkers? Around here at the weekly luncheons the chief grumble is the scarcity of snow. From what we hear, the East is a little better favored so far this season, and it would take something to beat the trips to the Berkshires, Catskills, Poconos, Green Mts., at al.

Clear from the other side of the country we get our monthly copy of "Squeaks From the Golden Gate." DAVE BENDER, MAC MCCULLOUGH and the rest of our northern California contingent apparently didn't make this issue. In view of the present state of our union, your correspondent would take squawks from any part of the country and print them gladly.

Have a couple of rumors for you—BUELL "WHITEY" WHITEHILL of Uniontown married a Miss Wallace during the Christmas holidays 808 OELMAN to be a father just about the time this issue is released.

Back to the unembellished facts-Douc MORRIS has left the smog for New England —sort of a "return of the native" act, his old home having been up in Belmont, Mass. On this swing to New England it is Stratford, Conn., at 4163 Main Street. . . . . HOWEY CROSSE is now doing his fencing with figures for the Federal Reserve as a Bank Examiner working out of New York and getting home once in a while to 732 East 23rd Street, Paterson, New Jersey EWERS, an old Pittsburgher, shows versatility: Just six years ago it was jokes and cartoons for the Jacko, now he is Museum TechnicianField Curator at the Museum Division, National Park Service, Washington, D. C. .... GAY BROMBERG is no longer auctioneering down New York way, but is now selling for the Standard Paper Company out of Hartford, Connecticut, which city incidentally has at least a half dozen '31ers now.

Now that Christmas is come and gone, if not paid for, and the New Year has been greeted with proper spirits, let's open the throttle here in 1938 and hit the news trail hard. Remember, news is like money, "You Can't Take It With You."
