1933*
This new 100% subscription plan is a dangerous thing for us. With everyone in the class getting this MAGAZINE and (presumably) turning to our monthly effusion at some time in the course of its perusal we find that we have a Public. We feel like F.P.A. or John Kieran or Dorothy Dix.
The new state of affairs has so affected one of our confreres (Mr. Dickerson '3O) that he has turned to unpunctuated free verse to express himself. That is why the thing is dangerous. It wouldn't take much to get US started. So don't be surprised if on turning to the 1933 notes at some time in the future you find the news of this illustrious class compressed into the cold, classic beauty of an Elizabethan sonnet.
The privilege of reading our matchless prose is not granted to you, however, without the usual charge. Do not make the mistake that was made by one of our local alumni (class on request). When asked what he thought about the new subscription plan, he expressed himself as utterly satisfied.
"I haven't see the MAGAZINE for years," he said, "and here it is bigger and better than ever. And best of all, I don't have to pay a cent for it. I like the new plan." You'll hear from Lee Eckels!
WIDE, WIDE WORLD DEPT.
It is encouraging to find that this Revolution has impelled the letter writers to take up their little used pens.
Bill Starr heads a "New Hampshire News-Letter" with the announcement that 1933 had a Reunion in June. He writes: "I caught sight of Norm Payne, GeorgeHideout and Don Doherty streamingthrough Manchester on the Friday of Commencement and the next evening joined them for a Rump Re-Union of '33 in the bunkroom of the Hanover Inn. (Ed. note. . . . How can you have a Rump Reunion without Whit Kimball?) After it was well under way, we voted to merge it with the '34 jamboree at their beer tent. This proved to be a wise move and we parted with the motto, 'A Reunion Every Year.' Bob Est.es dropped into the office in September when he and his wife Patricia were in town for a few days on vacation. Bob is with Donovan, Newton, Leisure and Lumbard in N. Y. C. but he seems to have been on a roving commission since starting there—in Madison, Wis., Washington and Hartford, Conn.—this last attending to some of the legal troubles of an aircraft company. And here's a plug for Bro. RalphKeyes who graduated from McGill Medical School after Dartmouth. He has recently opened an office for general practice in Penacook, N. H., and the last time I stopped there, things were well under way. I think Ralph was surprised at the clip at which things had started up. Ro Burbank and his wife Connie are at Proctor Academy, Andover, N. H, again this fall and I see them when I want to borrow something —as, for example, a sleeping tent. NedLord and I went on a ten day canoeing and fishing trip last summer. I saw Bob Cocroft last winter when we went on a skiing expedition to Quebec. In August I saw CalMilans and his newlywed spouse at White Point Beach, N. C. We passed a very pleasant hour together. I am practising law here in Manchester with Wyman, Starr, Booth, Wadleigh and Langdell."
Bill Forster brings us welcome and noteworthy news from 854 Belmont St., Brockton, Mass "I am now Brockton representative of Washburn Crosby. On August 31, I celebrated my birthday by becoming the proud papa of a daughter, Betty Ann (our first). Thanks to Herr Hitler the flour and cereal business has been unusually good and the Alumni Fund will have to bear up under a large Forster contribution this year. I saw Gil Femandes down in South Dartmouth last Spring. He's married and has a year old daughter."
Gay Milius, long a steady contributor to this column, breaks a rather long silence with more information about some of our long lost brethren: "I wasn't satisfied with the education that I received from Dartmouth so last year I embarked on the study of law at Fordham. I still sell what we used to sneak in from Pilver's, but that is in the morning while I spend the afternoon pondering from case to case. I passed the first year to my amazement, and here I am commencing the second year.
"Early this September I took a vacation and went to Texas. While there I learned through a roundabout source that Ed Jackson of Fort Worth had been married only a week before. While in St. Louis I gave Pete Grace a ring, but I found that he was in Texas. I received a card from RubeFrodin who, I believe, is also studying law in Chicago. He has been married for a number of years. I also hear occasionally from Arnie Salisbury who is working with the Mass. Supreme Judicial Court. He is living in matrimonial bliss in North Andover. I also know that Gordon Gibson has just been married, but, being a poor reporter, I haven't the name of the bride."
