1933*
Gauleiter Lee Eckels in a rollicking speech at the Pittsburgh Sportspalast last week made an appeal for donations for the 1933 Annual Winter Relief Fund. Taking as his text "Morgen die ganze Welt," the spirited orator pointed out that it was necessary to defray the cost of sending this instrument of enlightenment to all members of the party. He stated that party emblems made of buna will be presented to Bob Niebling and Clark Schmidt for unusual promptness in remitting the required three clams. May we suggest that it would be wise to make payment before delinquent accounts are turned over to the Secret Police for collection.
PARTY CONGRESS
Full reporting of class news requires mention of the annual meeting of the Dartmouth Secretaries Association last May in Hanover.
The return to Hanover is always a delightful experience. This year it was made even more pleasant because of the extraordinary number of '33 men on hand. Participating in the meetings Were: Dutcher (and Frau), Bud King, Sprague, Wood,Worthington and your scribe. Taking part in various gatherings of the representatives of 1933 were: Veres, Dewey, Peggy, Ford,Penny and Fordie Sayre and Ray, George and Marcia Theriault.
Because of our close connection with the manager of the Hanover Inn, all 1933 secretaries were quartered in small ill-ventilated garret rooms in the upper and more venerable reaches of that famous hostelry. Fortunately, Dutcher and wife were given a room among the elite in the newer section which the less fortunate brethren were permitted to visit at certain intervals for the purpose of stretching their cramped limbs and filling their lungs with fresh air. At times it was necessary to administer stimulants to the wilting Sprague with results that were surprising but, on the whole, satisfactory.
Theriault demonstrated the qualities that have made him a man to watch in the sociology department in a three hour session on Friday evening. Some of the members of our little group maintained that our consciousness of the inadequate ventilation was due to the intellectual exhalations of the bullish George. Your Secretary, however, would be unwilling to adopt such an uncharitable attitude.
Among the items gleaned at various times: Hicks is married Jud Pierson has produced a Jud Jr Phil Bill is still in Greenfield, Mass. and is the father of a six-month-old son
In The Dartmouth of Saturday morning the following appeared: "SOFTBALL CLINIC, BRAIN CHILD OF VERES, OPENS IN GYM CAGE Conceived by Bob Veres, Dartmouth boxing coach and Twilight League Czar, the clinic is designed to show both player and umpire the correct style of play. Veres, who has played on several teams that have risen to national prominence will trace the progress of the game."
No BOTTLE-NECK HERE After eight years of watching the annual summer push to the altar, we have no hesitation in proclaiming 1940 the most fruitful nuptial season in the history of 1933. So frequently have the binding words been spoken that we shall have to dispense with our usual profound commentary and rest content with setting forth the list of those who have made the honor roll.
