Webster Lup White Stan Whitman

The above list of names was furnished by Lee Eckels. It includes all those who have been foolish enough to pay good money to read the drivel that appears in this column every month. Merely to read the names in the honor roll sets us to wondering about the activities of their owners.

Fred Await, for example, is the father of the 1933 Class Baby. Without looking at the records we calculate that The Wonder Child must be nearly six years old. Except for a picture which we printed several years ago, we haven't heard much about this adopted child of ours. We wonder how he is getting along.

We wonder too whether Frank Hardy ever takes his E flat alto out of its case to try over Song of the Jungle, Moanin' Low,What Is This Thing Called Love, and other songs with which he and his fellows often filled the otherwise silent New Hampshire nights.

And while we're on music we might muse for a moment about the present situation of Charley Stege's bass tuba which frequently made meals in Commons more exciting than they might otherwise have been. Incidentally, although we hate to quarrel with Franklin McDuffie, we can't remember any crowding into Commons while the famous 1933 unit was giving out.

And we wonder about the experiences Parker Hart has had in the last few years. His last address was: U. S. State Department, Vienna, Germany. We recall the shock of reading the last word when the address was first sent to us. We had been saying Vienna, Austria for so many years.

We have often wondered about DickLyon who has turned suddenly mute since graduation. Occasional reports were brought to us of a Lyon who was living a fabulous existence in Washington, D. C. From the description we should assume that he was a combination of Agha Khan, Diamond Jim Brady and John W. Davis. Practicing law all day and then running a smart hot spot most of the night. Beautiful women, birds of paradise, champagne you know.

We wonder about the success that has attended Al Strock's hunt after aching molars and wandering fillings. We last saw him at and after a concert by the Boston Symphony at Sanders Theatre in Cambridge, Mass.

There are others in the above list about whom we are not permitted to wonder because Lee has sent us information concerning them.

Ed Eldridge is with the Loan Administration division of the R.F.C. at Cleveland. He has been engaged for three months to Hazel Yerdon of Cleveland Heights.

Lup White is an accountant with Socony-Vacuum in New York. He took graduate work in business administration at N. Y. U. in 1934 and 1935.

Wes Beattie is handling investments for the Rochester Savings Bank after a two year stretch in Wall Street. He says that he sees Jerry Dutcher, Phil Farnham, PhilWhitbeck, and Drs. Resnick and Stevens.

Ken Hurd, in the words of the good Mr. Eckels is "still making shoes in Utica and raising kids."

Ralph Campbell is traveling all over the country for his favorite department store.

BARNEY DAVIS

It is unusual to report the death of a classmate in this section of the MAGAZINE. However, several men have spoken to us so earnestly of Barney Davis that we have considered it appropriate to reprint here a part of the moving testimonial paid him by Robert Boehm '35.

"Barney," he writes, "died at the very moment when his life was opening new horizons to him. He was on his honeymoon in Mexico, having been married to Miss Frances Kronstadt three weeks previously. Suddenly, he was stricken with infantile paralysis. Rushed by plane to the United States, he died before effective medical aid could be reached.

"His death was one of those events which knows no explanation. He struggled hard for all that he accomplished. His record of achievement during his brief life is impressive, but does not reveal all. One year after graduating from Dartmouth he became a member of the faculty, an instructor in Chemistry, at the same time assisting in the research work of the Department. In this his work was of such high excellence that upon his leaving Dartmouth the following year, he secured a position as Laboratory assistant to Professor Heidelberger of Columbia, one of the leading bio-chemists in the country. A brief year's experience in Philadelphia working in the research laboratory of an industrial concern and Barney returned to New York with the immediate prospect of re-entering Professor Heidelberger's laboratory. It was then that his marriage took place, followed by his tragic honeymoon."

Those of us who knew Barney realize that he was one of the most brilliant and most promising men in the class. It seems certain that he would have contributed to the knowledge and progress of humanity. His death is a tragedy to which it is difficult to become resigned.

ODD ADDENDA

We have been referred to the Long Island Star-Journal of July 24,' 1939 in which under the head Flushing Attorney HasHero Role in Rescue of Four from Bay we find an account of the splendid work of Wild Will Doyle, the Bad Barrister from the land of the Try lon and Perisphere, in rescuing three people from Flushing Bay. These people had capsized in a dory and the old Dartmouth water polo star swam out and rescued one of the victims (a lady) and then returned in a boat to bring in the others.
