1935*
News from the games and '35 gatherings: Your Secretary was in Hanover to see the Big Green finally get up enough energy to beat Hampden Sydney. The glorious foliage made the trip well worthwhile. Ran into Don Cameron, who was enjoying his first return to Hanover since our graduation. Don is still in Amsterdam, N. Y., with the Mohawk Carpet Mills, as is Herb Shuttleworth. Don reports that Bud Hinman is now in Columbus with Lederle Laboratories promoting the nation's health by selling toxins, anti-toxins, etc. ... .Bob Roundey continues to travel and to run into '35ers: Gus Davis and his wife in Rutland, Vt. Phil Conathan and his wife, Jim Aieta and a friend, in Hanover on Columbus Day. We continually hear reports of Jim's success as an insurance salesman. What has Phil been doing since that memorable June of 1935?
Hall Colton has reported on the Class's part in the Navy game and the accompanying celebration (?) in Baltimore. Art Flinner and Roy Ruether put in at least brief appearances at the Belvedere. Tom and Virginia Lane drove down from New York for the game and tea dance. Ed Elsenhans was seen at lunch and claimed he was taking in the game and dance. Ed is an engineer in Harrisburg with the firm of Gannett, Eastman, & Fleming. Charlie Benton showed up at the dance. Although our latest address for him is Roanoke, he apparently is now in Scranton, doing accounting work for some utility. Dick Carpenter also put in his appearance, up from Washington, we believe, where he teaches in the Landon School for Boys. Hall himself has embarked on an enterprise of his own called Grant Toys, which is keeping him busy with Christmas near at hand. Hall's letter is interspersed with numerous references to cocktails and scotches. However, we decided to omit the personal connections therewith. We assume everyone had a good time.
After the Lafayette game in Hanover Larry Sommer set the stage for a successful '35 cocktail party at the Inn Ski Hunt. Norry and "B" Nims were there, Norry amusing everyone with tales of this and that, especially of their 2½-year-old son. (Norry, the name and birthday of your off-spring do not appear in our Class Records. Such important information should be forwarded to yours truly. That goes for many others of you.) From New Britain, Connecticut, came Treasurer Paul Rogers of the Skinner-Chuck Cos., and his wife. Also on hand were Howard Johnson restauranteer, Charlie Gow and his sister Grace, Ken Webster, his wife and sister, Jim Aieta, "Prof" and Ellen Shattuck. Cramp Carrick, despite a reservation, apparently lost his way from the stadium after the game and failed to show up. Most everyone tapered off with beer and dinner at the Coffee Shop before breaking up a most enjoyable day.
The custom of '35 gatherings in Boston, started last Spring, was carried on with another buffet supper and beer party on November 2nd, barrister Doug Ley's able management bringing together 27 of us. On hand were Bill Adams, doing a little bit' of everything for the Hampden Creamery Company; Reggie Bankart, still with the Hood Rubber Co.', but now putting his artistic ability to work in the design department; Sanborn Brown, now a teaching fellow at M.I.T., and in line for congratulations on his engagement to Lois Wright, announced in August; Bob Busey, General Electric salesman; Bud Cahoon, a claims investigator for Employers Liability Insurance Co.; Fran Chase, selling bonds for Stone, Webster & Blodget; Ralph Colby, about whom I reported fully last month. Dan Corcoran and attorney Bud O'Brien came down from Lawrence to be with us. Dan is a newspaper editor with the Lawrence SundayStar. The legal profession was well represented. Besides Ley, O'Brien, Cahoon, there was Harry Reynolds, Phil Wilson, myself, and Harold Roitman, who just this fall left the business world to enter Harvard Law School. Perhaps you knew but we have just learned that Phil Wilson married Anna Weatherbee of Stowe, Vt., in Hanover on October 10th, 1936, and is the father of 2-year-old Peter Abbot Wilson, Dartmouth, '58.
Also present were Steve Dorsey, whom we hope is planning his June wedding so as not to interfere with Reunion; Doctor Ed Dyer, now at the Boston Children's Hospital; Homer Dewey, with the Prudential Insurance Co., the real estate department—we inferred from a conversation; Bill Hawley, a student at the Harvard Graduate School; Bert Jacobs, who has left the shoe business and is now an independent distributor for Westinghouse Domestic Heating and Air Conditioning, having Essex County (the North Shore) for his territory; Bob Millane, a salesman for Squibb's, "Manufacturing Chemists to the Medical Profession Since 1858"; Dick Muzzy, assistant treasurer of Daggett Chocolate Co.; Bill Rauschal, who after a couple of years with the Norwood Press has joined the technical division of Ginn & Co. (Here is another wedding we only recently found out about. Bill married Zella Peterson of Wollaston, Mass., in Pawtucket, R. 1., in January of 1937); Norm Scott, a teller in the Boston Five Cent Savings Bank; Phil Scully, selling oil for Cities Service; John Wallace, in the trust department of the National Shawmut Bank; Jim West, an agent for Metropolitan Life; and Dick Hurd, who does sales promotion for the National Casket Co.!
We should like to take this opportunity to extend our thanks to those men who have made the arrangements for these class gatherings. We hope they will continue this good work, and that others will follow their example. There are plenty of centers where there are enough '35ers to reward well the amount of work necessary.
Charlie Sewall and Bob Hage must be running a close race for seeing the most of our country. Bird & Sons has Charlie continually on the move to everywhere shoe boxes are used. Vicks sends Bob here and there, though the concentration seems to be toward the South. During October he spent a couple of weeks in Memphis, where he was most cordially entertained by Dero Saunders' family. Bob also ran into Bucks Weil and they had lunch together. Weil Bros., cotton brokers with headquarters in Montgomery, have stationed Bucks in their Memphis office for the winter.
From New York and George Colton comes word that Hugh Wolff has been in Boston for an insurance convention, his travels including a stop in New York for the Fair and a bull session with George and Bud Fraser, and in Syracuse to see the Cornell football team play, Hugh's brother being a member thereof. At a performance of Faust George reports meeting Paul Siskind, who is in his last year at N.Y.U. Law School and an editor of their Law Review. Another report is of Fritz Hormel, enjoying the law, and only complaining because he cannot manage inexpensive dates in New York. (Admirers please note.)... .Hal Ritter has left Macy's pots and pans to be assistant buyer in Bamberger's furniture department in Newark There may be a war story connected with this we do not know, but Bill Fitzhugh is back in the U. S. A., a student at Columbia The HeraldTribune of October 8th carried a story of the wedding the day before of Jim LeSure to Jean Magee at Bayside, Queens. Jim is with the Commercial National Bank and Trust Company Akin French is putting his Yale Law training to practice with the New York firm of Kirlin, Campbell, Hickox, Keating & McGrann, whose principal business is Admiralty law. Akin expressed some views on the arms embargo, but that subject is all water over the dam at this time.
Bits from here and there: An inquiry addressed to Art Wertheim brought a reply from his father that Art is now an M.D., interning at the Philadelphia General Hospital. Graduating last June from Jefferson Medical College he received the Alumni Gold Medal for having the highest 4-year average in the class. He also won his key and was admitted as a member of Alpha Omega Alpha. Thanks, Mr. Wertheim. Perhaps we would produce a better column if we wrote directly to everyone's Dad From Detroit comes word that Tom and Barbara Wilson are the parents of a daughter, Margaret Ann, born last April 13 th Congratulations to Hugh Rafferty, whose engagement to Ann Gainey of Flint was recently announced, and to Boyd Rogers, engaged to Ruth Donnell Bill Chapman has left Denver and is now in St. Louis with a bank. .... From Bill Harwick and Linda comes the announcement, rather belated they admit, of the births of two daughters,—Hannah on June 19, 1937, and Elizabeth, on last April 22nd; Bill is with the administrative department of the Mayo Clinic. The Harwicks enjoyed a visit this summer from Put and Louise Kingsbury. Bill tells us that Dave Judd, who had been in Medical School at the U. of Minnesota, has been recently married and is interning at the Virginia Mason Clinic in Seattle Earl Arthurs is in Indianapolis as we thought—3720 N. Penna. Ave., and is having a fine time with Fitz Donnell.
More bits: Jim Holden graduated in June of 1938 from Albany Law School, has been admitted to the Vermont Bar, and is practicing in Bennington Congratulations to Jim Boldt, married September 9th to Helen Thayer Newk Stainsby writes from Buffalo that he is still with Liberty Mutual, is married and has a 12-weeks-old girl named Susan. Also in Buf- falo is Bud Childs, who probably is well on his way to being addressed as Doctor Jerry Wertz, still in Chicago with the Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Cos. of Chicago, says he has a new 1939Buick but no wife as yet. He hopes to drive to Reunion with another Dartmouth man at the bank, Mil Hart '25. Every letter or card which reaches your Scribe these days brings word of another '35er who will be on hand when the opening gun is fired for our Fifth I guess I should have consolidated the congratulations and engagements. Here is another: George Goodman to Maxine Elliott Bakalar. George is with the Enterprise Department Stores, handling advertising for the housewares departments of 15 stores as well as some field and merchandising work.
Have long letters from Barney Tomlinson and Dud Russell which I will have to save. Am afraid the one page limit has long since been exceeded. And so, to you all, a Merry Christmas.
