1937*
Well, D'JAVAGDZUMMER? Ypdjoo? S'FINE, now we can go ahead.
Reunion dope is best of all but since you "will" be such good soldiers, we'll tell you about it first. Our Fifth Tepee goes up the day after Commencement, June, 1942; it will shake the hardest and bulge the widest on the week-end next, and will be bothmailed one week after its erection. Most of the reuning classes will also be aboot. The Hanover Holiday will be booming that week. All of which says: "We NEED A CHAIRMAN and jolly good men to help the bum." Your executive committee will choose this fellow on or about October 15 but they will be most happy to receive suggestions. Send your nominations to the column post haste.
Mint Bag Dave has covered lots of ground and done it well but you guys refuse to be anchored—so we write and write and Say did ye hear? "Jake Wirth's on Thursday." That's been the password in Boston this past year with Jack Devlin doin' the humpin'.
Roy Hatch in short: "Worked on Assc. Press in Boston for a couple of years, then left for a sports reporting job on the Traveler. It's interesting and has a good future. Right now, I'm doubling up, working as a publicity man in my spare time. It's a summer theatre in Gloucester." Hal Putnam's "New Deal in Review" (pamphlet) is out Gosh, the AISLES we've got to tred this time—B of 'em. We'll start in the west and work down:
Evansville, Ind.—Doctor Collin MacCarty and the former Margery Deal married June 15, now at home 508 N. Broadway, Baltimore. Akron, Ohio—Dick Kryder and "a swell girl who's mighty attractive" on Sept. 18. (Mort Berk, has a beauty on the West Coast but we can't count her yetonly hope.) Pittsburg—Dick Chase and Fran Walker of Conn. College and New York Sch. for Social Work are already hitched. He's an English instructor at Columbia. Flemington, N. J.—the exMartha Ransom has been Mrs. Art Tucker since Aug. 10. Dr. Hinman ushered and will take care of the young 'uns. Manhattan—Ted Bruce and Elinor Hildebrand, day after the "Fourth." Littleton, N. H.— Bill Rotch raided the McLane Camp and carried off Patty on Sept. 3, Brother Pete was about. Holyoke—Mutt won't admit it but the Dartmouth Club in N. Y. C. reports that he was fit to be tied—to Ruth Mc Corkindale on Sept. 21—and he was, lucky man! PANAMA—Marvis Thirwall, a citizen thereof, and Uncle Ballantyne, both of Pan-American Airways. August was to be the month if the red tape that exists there was cut through. Last, but with equal promise: engagement of Art Ruggles and Carlie Bollea, announced Aug. 3, marriage in June. RugBug's been taking typing and shorthand at B. U. this summer.
Garry Lowe's battlin' it out with those darn bugs, but writes: "The great thing about Aurelian Stoicism is its poise, its balance, its perspective, which, while aware of the potentialities, never loses sight of man's infinite smallness in the universe of time and space." Two bar exam reports are in: Bialla and Cohen passed! Rev. Elson Eldridge, graduate of Episcopal Theological Seminary of Cambridge, Mass., now in Fairbanks, ALASKA, at St. Mathews Church. Bob Weeks reports that the Gooding-Pease wedding filled the White Church with Prexy, faculty members and Mt. Holyoke beauties. Down in Lima, Peru Wayne B. writes: "Life goes on easily and busily in South America. Handicaps, yes, but somehow it's good to be free of the pressure of New York."
"There are Docs;-Docs;-Docs upon " Jack Richter was at Boston Lying In for a spell and will be in Chicago one of these days. Craw Hinpuss at same hospital, also at Children's Hospital and Boston City, each for a month. Art Tucker served at the last named. But listen, any of you guys can send in PICTURES, snapshots old and new of the gang—we need 'em Badely! Here's a scene by Eg Cabbie: "am traveling salesman for Cabbie Wire Co.—still a bachelor. Turecamo in Florida all winter. Jere Duffy a prosperous insurance broker. One consolation, I spend my vacation every year in Hanover." Bud Reed's back in New York City, still with Western Electric. Bill Falion's in Hartford and his exroomie, Paul Wentworth, is now in the woodworking business in Concord, Mass. —pine panelling and early American interiors. "Big City" Hal Parachini took accounting this summer and has in mind joining the Naval Reserves. Bob Greene's now with the Milwaukee Cos. (investment securities). "Accounting and statistics agreed with me and are the background to a sound approach to investment problems. Best of all, the personnel and top officers are wonderful people."
Hal Putnam after interviewing Justice Brandeis, Norris, LaFollette, Jay Franklin, Norman Thomas, and F. I). R. at a press conference, PREDICTED last June: "Complete involvement in the war for the U. S. is not far off; F. D. R. will be overwhelmingly elected; England will be defeated by the Nazis; we are in for a measure of totalitarianism here; democracy could best be defended in America by a continued onslaught on poverty and a fierce war on the fundamental causes of international barbarism." Boy, almost for got—John Dingle and Harriet Schwartz are now man and wife. They didn't tell mam folks but we know—Park Johnston might too. Has anyone sprung the following on you yet?—"lt would be a swell idea if you could get out here for a football game this fall—how about the Yale Game on Oct. 19 Work on that possibility." That's the trouble with going to school outside your home town. And Bill Miller is out in California: "Vultee Aircraft—worked 78 hours last week as an industrial engineer. Mass production in aircraft has a pretty sound but 3 obstacles stand in the way. Ist, orders are not large enough to make high produc- tion tooling possible. So ships are being built by craftsmanship methods, and, the ships are obsolete before they are out 0! engineering. 3rd, the old maid attitude of the Army in its specifications and continual drawing and model changes."
Don Miller in Honolulu: "What with the FLEET manuevers here now—40,000 sailors dumped on the city for a week, the sky thick and moving with planes—it appears that we are ready to 'protect' British imperialism in the far East. Well, someda; we may all find some useful way of spending our wealth—on health, happiness "
Big picnic there was on El Timson's farm in Deerfield, 111. came Sept. 2!. Classes from '34 to '38 were all there as well as gents from other years. All of whidi made us think that maybe reunion in '42 wasn't so far of
"Oh, turn again, while yet ye may,And ere the hearths are cold,And all the embers ashen-gray,By which ye sat of old "
