1938*
Honors for the month go, not to one of the class, but one closely enough allied to make this column—to Peg Cahill, close friend (subtly put) of Tom McGrath, for rolling the fastest hoop at Wellesley's matrimonial test. Coaching honors go to that monument of tensile strength, McGrath". At this writing, approximately one fifth of the class have answered the call to swell the Alumni Fund. More will have reported by the time you read this, and those who haven't, the coffers are still wide open for. Never end a sentence with a preposition. The heat wave must be here, because the result of years of pep talks and proddings on the part sundry '3Bs has come to bethe marriage of Marilyn Lent and Captain Dick Lewis, ice hacker de luxe, on May 27. Since that date hasn't arrived yet, I can't give you any details of the ceremony. I didn't get to Green Key, but there's not much doubt but that the class shone forth in all its glamorous light. For those who plan to attend Commencement, it's still not too late to make a date for "Hanover Holiday," details of which are elsewhere in the magazine. McDuff ruined all his equipment when a picnic-bound car boiled over on to his sartorial elegance Green Key, but what loss he saved himself from, is going to be seriously jeopardized when he rooms with Foley, Mosenthal, and Gordon at Cornell Med next fall. News from the Blees brothers. Bill is playing in the "Primrose Path," due to run at the World's Fair. Bob, while working on the March of Time in London, had a hand in the "Pygmalion" story for Life, and is now working with its director, Gabriel Pascol, in Hollywood. Harry Stoodley is with the Glidden Cos. in their Boston Branch. He, Johnny Tower, and Pres Downer sang in the same glee club in Newton, but now Johnny's got a job with Time in New York. George Litchfield graduated from the Philadelphia Textile School last June, and is working with George Mabbelt & Sons Cos., Plymouth, "manufacturers of the country's best men's suiting." His former roommate, Ryder Pratt, is still at M.I.T. Fred Seaver, after leaving Hanover, worked in the post office in Leominster for a while, and then transferred to the Personal Finance Cos. in Fitchburg, where he is now. Jack Huck has returned from a trip to South America, and is starting to work for the Chicago Extruded Metals Cos., says Johnny Llewellyn, who's still with Chicago Malleable Castings, and seeing a lot of the Chicago group. Newt Smith is at the College of Commerce and Business at Tulane, and swears murder if anyone goes through New Orleans (squaw town) without imposing on his hospitality. Speaking of which reminds me. Art Soule came to Hartford to get Walls and me, en route to Hamp, but our doorbell doesn't bell, and Art found himself sleeping in the garage, where we found him in the morning, looking plenty tough to take. Probably the last we'll see of him. Jack Scarbrough reports himself doing graduate work in mechanical engineering at Stanford, with a degree coming up in '40. Bill Lyle, working at the Fair, reports Jim Briggs in the Publicity Dept. of the New York Life Insurance Cos. It certainly is amazing how many are in insurance. Balmer says he's still cracking off 60 hours plus with J. J. Newberry, but doing more varied work, and for more wampum. Roge Baker is now with the automobile sales
service department of the Liberty Mutual in New York, and services policyholders within a certain district of the city. For a guy that just got out of a stock company, he does a lot of panning. Sid Cardozo finally is hitting his stride with Simon and Schuster in N. Y. Dick Stoughton is at the home office of the Great American Insurance Cos. in N. Y. too.
Bill Stratton was married February 9 to Jama Reid, an Oklahoma girl going to U.S.C., and is Pacific Coast manager for the Bassick Cos. (casters, furniture trimmings, and automobile hardware) in Los Angeles. Dallas Dobelbower is with Burroughs Adding Machine Cos. Saw a neat girl the other day, who reports those two hams, Harry Ham at B.U. Law, and Ham Ferris as a salesman for Kolynos toothpaste. If I could only remember her name, I'd print that too. Nothing is too immaterial for this column, as far as squaw news goes. Doc Butler is with McDougall-Butler in Buffalo, makers of fine varnishes, etc. Howie Moulton has gone back to the soil, farming a 62-acre mess of fields in Wrentham. Bud Roby is finishing his second year at the University of Chicago School of Business Administration, Chuck Compton being there too. Bud Blanchard's at the University too. Ev Wikoff has been with American Airlines as reservations and ticket agent in Louisville, and is now off for Texas. Bill Wynkoop is back from eight weeks of Rio de Janeiro and the Amazon, and is now with Time. Chuck Bullock started out with Lever Bros, in Boston after leaving Hanover, and is now with Sun Oil. After serving as warehouseman, driver, despatcher, inspector, he's selling its products in some 71 towns in New Hampshire, and is engaged to Elizabeth Ann Hull of Harrisburg and Wellesley. Makes his headquarters in Manchester.
It looks as if this is the last article until we resume again in the October issue. Can you stand it? I'll arrange to have some statistics ready by that time, so you can have a bird's eye view of the class. News is a little slack this month, mainly because of the fact that Lang has pilfered every- thing he can get his hands on for his news letters.
Al Behr has been a ski instructor at the Eastern Slope Ski School in Jackson, N. H„ Bill Barkley is with National Carbon Cos. in Meriden, Conn., and Lew Harriman is with the Manufacturers and Traders Trust Cos., in Buffalo. That just about ends up all the information I have on hand, and I'll hang up until the fall.
