Class of 1930
The wedding bells that ring merrily throughout the month of June come too late to make the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, and we will have to leave it to BUD FRENCH to reap this harvest for the Fund-Thirtyteer. But before you relax into the welcome summer surcease from these monthly outpourings, we nevertheless have a moderately copious supply of nuptial news for you.
Let's start with the wedding that has the double '3O angle, as follows: "Mr. and Mrs.James Russell Chandler announce themarriage of their daughter, Edith Gray, to MR. JOHN OLIVER CRAWFORD JR. on Sunday, April the seventeenth, nineteen hundred and thirty-eight, Plymouth, Massachusetts." You can of course picture the functioning of That Man S- CH-NDL-R, a veteran of these matrimonial affairs, at this event. Poor little sister Edie has a gloomy future, hemmed in on all sides by Thirtymen. Jack, as you should know by this time, is the P. Lorillard man—you must have heard of that Old Gold contest.
Then we have a betrothal right under our eyes as the engagement of Miss Alene Gilman Potter (Larry to us) to CHARLIE WIDMAYER was announced bv her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. Clifford Jfotter of Newton, Mass., on Saturday, May 7, while the betrothed were dividing their attention in Hanover between the Green Key Prom and real estate investigations. We speak in a low voice on this matter so that Charlie, directing the Dartmouth College News Service, and the affairs of the Aegis and the Green Book, or contributing his impeccable prose to the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE, only a few feet away may not perk up his ears at the sound of his name. It proved impossible to wangle a date out of the affianced couple, but we would bet on the consummation of the affair by midsummer. Larry, who graduated from Bennington in 1936, is an expert on the education of brats in the ad vanced manner (one of our professorial wits has described a progressive nursery school as a place "where children hit eachother over the head under supervision"), and has been engaged to direct into harmless channels the destructive instincts of Hanover children in the local nursery school next year. She now is at the Woodbridge Country Day School in Ansonia, Conn., which is too near Yale.
From Miami came one of those honeymoon postcards from MILT SHULTZ, written just before taking a plane with his bride of April 22 for Havana. The bride: Miss Grace Mary Elizabeth Maloney of Reading, Pa. The church: St. Mary's Episcopal. The director of the 1930 Inquisition, Bud French, supplies the additional fact that the Shultzes after May 15 will (were, to you) be at home at 421 Chestnut St., Reading, Pa. "There is some rumor ofboats, water, and Havana" says French, quoting BILL MILNE.
Speaking of Milne, we will interrupt this flow of rice and rose petals to quote some other items contributed by Bill to Bud, although we will doubtless be scooped on these items by the FundThirty teer. Bill writes: "Through a fairlyactive Alumni Club our reunions havebeen clicking off about once in every sixweeks. At the last census BILL SMITH wasmaking his home at 1620 Franklin St. inWilmington, whereas FRED WATSON campsat Silverside Road in Arden, which is asuburb, LARRY MACKENZIE is keepingbachelor quarters, so would say the bestway to reach him is through the Connecticut General Life Insurance Co., EquitableTrust Bldg. in Wilmington.
"At our last meeting, April 7, we found HERM SCHNEEBELI in our midst in theline of business, which must have beenokay as he was able to put away a goodsized steak—profits or expense money isan open question."
A lot of you bridegrooms would still be included in that pathetically long list of hypothetical bachelors if it were not for the corps of 5000 assistant newspaper readers which we have scanning the social columns of all the leading dailies and finding such items as the announcement of the engagement of Miss Margaret Taber Johnson to MR. HUGH KELSEA MOORE JR., son of Dr. and Mrs. Hugh Kelsea Moore of York Harbor, Me., in the Boston Sunday Herald of April 17. Miss Johnson's arents are Mr. and Mrs. Bascom Johnfon of Pleasantville, N. Y. She is a graduate of the Scarborough Country Day School and of Mount Holyoke College in the class of 1933* and of the New York School of Social Work in 1935. Kels, as vou should know, did two years of graduate work at M. I. T., and is last recorded with Standish, Racey, & McKay, investment counsel, in Boston. Kels had a granddaddy named A. W. Moore back in the class of 1864.
We've got some babies for you too.
MR. and MRS. JOHN FLETCHER RICH announce the arrival of Nancy Winslow on April 10. Jack, one of our Harvard Law boys, is a lawyer at 10 Post Office Square, Boston, firm unnamed.
LEE CHILCOTE suddenly recalls that Katherine Ann (e) joined the Chilcote family on November 6 last. (Lee spells it Ann, his stenographer, Anne—our experience is that the stenographer is usually right.) Katherine will be sheltered by her three-year-old brother, Ronald. Lee is secretary-treasurer of the Chilcote Company and secretary of the Hodell Chain Company, which must have something to do with his wife, who is the former Katherine Hodell of Cleveland Heights. He reports that 808 WINTER is not dead and longburied as he suspected, but is lately returned from a southern vacation, which would indicate that the Winter Company of Newcastle, Pa., men's and boys' clothing and furnishing, still has customers.
A long-delayed report from ED BUTTERWORTH reviews his marriage in August, 1935, to Elizabeth Learned and the birth on February 8, 1937 of Beverly Ann, "theonly blessed event so far." On June 1, 1937, Ed resigned from the Travelers Insurance Company to open an office for the general practice of law at 7 Willow St,, Lynn,, Mass. Having had no report of the '3O dinner held at the Boston Yacht Club (Rowe's Wharf) a short while ago, we were impressed by the indication that this was a pleasant party, implied in Ed's statement: "I believe I attended the class dinner at Rowe's Wharf .... very finetime."
A scribble would indicate that someone has hobbled the light-footed CARROLL long enough to get betrothed to him, since Ed adds to his Alumni Fund contribution slip (you remember the Alumni Fund) the following: "Nothing new—still withNorfolk Paint in Salem .... going to bemarried in June and live in Marblehead• ' • • hope to be in Hanover soon andwill give yOU the giacisome details."
A very winning picture of JOHN F. DEAN sent to us by JACK would indicate that there is a son in the family. Being the baby authority that we are, we would guess that young Johnny is going on three, while Jack is going about the hardware usiness with the W. Bingham Company in Cleveland after an earlier period with John R. Dean, hardware, which we think carries this John Dean business far enough.
808 BARKER reports himself still with the Chase Bank in the bond and mortgage department. He sees WALLY BLAKEY and BYRON PALMER frequently, and ED WARREN occasionally. Did jury duty in criminal court last month, a fact which he coupled to an encounter with WALLY WASMER (no real connection.) .... A nice letter but no news from the oil burner man, ROLLIE BOOMA of Booma-Breed, Inc., Lynn, Mass. .... FRED BRENNEN is now in the traffic department of the Mooremack Steamship Lines, Boston, says CHARLIE RAYMOND. Fred was last reported with the B. 8c M. R. R HERB CHASE of Lever Brothers (we backwardly had him still recorded with Socony Vacuum) reports on the Yacht Club party, that rich, creamy Narragansett Ale, the CrawfordChandler nuptials, and CHICK POOLER'S new girl, but doesn't record what he himself is doing at the soap works John Herbert CHRISTMAN, we now learn, followed Santa Claus down the chimney of the Christman house on December 27, 1935, while Sally Elizabeth celebrated Bastille Day of last year with an arrival (the simple-minded: July 14, 1937) HARRY DUNNING (a man with a name like that ought to be working on the Alumni Fund) of Scott Paper is still wandering around in the interests of the Thirsty Fiber. If Harry doesn't take root somewhere pretty soon, the College will be bankrupt making new address stencils for him. The newest one: 216 Owen Ave., Lansdowne, Pa. "I am still worrying alongas employment manager and in generalpersonnel work .... enjoying it morethan any previous task, and the companyitself is still worrying along with an acuteoversold condition (we're some five to sixweeks behind booked orders at presentwriting, with business increasing all thetime)." .... ED FROST is in charge of book manufacturing for Baird-Ward Printing Company in Nashville HUGH GIBBONS reports himself in Belmont, Mass., with his uncle, Howard Stockwell 'l7, undertaking to get his M.A. in history at Harvard FRANK GULDEN, the mustard man, is once again feeling that ' urge for some New Hampshire fresh air and will be up one of these days for a cabin outing. Unless our records are screwy, Frank has been chairman of the board of Charles Gulden, Inc., since 1928. .... RANNY HOBBS of the college department of MacMillan seems to have more or less come to rest at 21 East 10th St., N. Y., "a reasonably permanent domicile." That means that your Secretary has lost one of his best traveling reporters.
DR. JOE PLACAK of Cleveland Heights writes, "Spent the past six weeks down insouthern Mexico on a sort of a 'walking'trip into the wilds. Met no Dartmouthmen, however, nor scarcely any Englishspeaking Indians of any kind, but did getover a lot of rough wild country andfinally almost remained there permanentlywith a bad attack of the amebic dysentery.Arrived back here in time to find my practice just about shot—but feel the experience was worth it." He is practicing surgery, as you should know, and sees CLIFF VOGT at the University Hospital quite frequently. "Cliff is now resident in gynecology and rapidly becoming one of the fixtures. WARREN PARISH has settled downin Winston, N. C., doing internal medicine, and from what I hear has succeededin stirring nothing but trouble down therewith his Yankee (medical) ideas. I alsounderstand that some of the local weddingbells are being oiled up for him in thenear future." .... BILL JESSUP now has a new excuse for getting to Hanover, inasmuch as Lois reunes in Northampton the same week as. the Dartmouth Commencement. Bill recalls the fact that FRANK TRAGLE has departed from journalism to run the Reading Community Chest. Bill also reports, a little ruefully we suspect, that "AL MARSTERS' bridge game israpidly approaching his gridiron ability.Looks like Essy has really done somethingfor him." We judge from seeing Bill's handsome young brother at the Interfraternity Council dinner last week that a Jessup is in charge of the affairs of Beta Theta Pi—a situation which, back in the thirties, would have been an alarming state of affairs We have a birthday for SALLY RANNEY—October 5, 1937 And from Curly Prosser '28 we learn that 808 RELYEA is not with the Travelers in Washington, but is with the Hartford Steamboilers Insurance Company at Hartford, established with his wife and fiveyear-old son out in West Hartford We are running a race with Lucius Beebe in publicizing COLLY YOUNG. Here is this month's Beebe item, syndicated, mind you, all over the U. S.: "The latest addition to the more tumultuous group of Hollywood writers and executives who have become part of the Gene Fowler-Joel Sayre-Nunnally Johnson tradition is Collier Young, late of Brandt & Brandt, and now in the story department of Myron Selznick. Mr. Young, who once, while a Dartmouth undergraduate, was elected 'America's Most Representative Boy' and had to spend a week in the White House for his pains, has never been associated with what could be termed the quieter side of New York's night life. It was he who, when his brother Bill was married by Mayor Walker, turned up at City Hall in a Confederate general's field uniform, followed by a fifteen-piece Negro band. His own recent wedding, which went on for some days in Sniffen Cotlrt, sent real estate values all over Murray Hill to new rows, and now he is' taking over The Strip, in Hollywood, the way Grant took Richmond. When Young achieves national celebrity for some particularly epic outrage against the civic tranquillity and starts figuring in the legend which embraces Hecht and Fowler and Mac Arthur, don't say we didn't warn you. We just spent a couple of evenings with him in the Clover Club and know whereof we speak."
And now for a check-up on some of the boys who have held out news on us during the ALUMNI MAGAZINE year, which is coming to an end with no more laments from us than from you FRANK LEAHY, proprietor of the Randolph Coal Company, Randolph, Mass DANNY LOESER, attorney with Mooney, Hahn, Loeser, & Keough, Cleveland. What, no family, Danny? .... SHORTY LONG—still price engineer for Western Electric at 195 Broadway, or schedule analyst out in Kearney? .... POOCH MEYER—still buyer of linens for Bamburger? And what of the little four-year-old Pooch? . . . . JIM .MITCHELL, what of the New York Telephone Company? .... HANK NEWELL, architect, was located at the Iron Mine Inn, Franconia, N. H., last September. .... HANK ODBERT has just been promoted from instructor to assistant professor of Psychology at (you guessed it) Dartmbuth College ELT PALMER, we seem to recall, has recently been brought back from the oil fields, where he carries a divining rod around, looking for as yet undiscovered sources of Gulf Oil, to the Gulf laboratories in Pittsburgh.
Secretary, Hanover, N. H.
