WRITERS OF THE MONTH

FIRST FROM WALT MAGEE: "tHIS LETER IS UNQUESTIONABLY LONG OVERDUE, BUT between the hours that L. Bamberger & Co. makes the slaves keep there isn't even time left to oggle up any of these hipper-dipper weddings which have hit '39ers like a bloody blitzcracker, let alone keep up with correspondence. Malcom Wallis called me last April from a nearby burg. Claimed he had moved all the way from East Jock strap, Mass. to work for Curtiss-Wright in Paterson. Old Fatface Tucker showed up from Springfield where he's been doing big things in the plastics industry as part of training for his session at M. I. T. As usual a drunken time was had by all—winding into the G. A. (Beer Club) where Moreau Brown was spellbinding a couple of last year's frosh with tales of daring. He is doing well enough to keep himself supplied with a 3 room apartment, plenty of ropey cigars, beer, and fat brunettes, the like of which you have never seen. Bill McCarthy, Ma Smalley's pride and joy is still with Bamberger's. Last social contact I had with him was when he got fried on rum. (The rum later ate the paint off the car radio grille. Saw Hank Schenler. He's very much married to a tiny queen from Lawrence, Mass., and is working for a small privately owned brush manufacturer in Verona."

From Don Rehor, way down there in Cuba: "I'm for the States around Oct. 1. Praise de Lawd! I never thought this year would roll around. Not sure if I'll return to Los Canos, which means sewers in Spanish. It seems as though I'm sick of Bacardi Rum and Havana cigars. I've had a year's lark in a foreign country and now I want to look at some white queens for a change."

THE CLEARING HOUSE

In Hanover the leaves are turning. There is a cool crispness to the air. The pledges are shining shoes and carrying gum. Fletcher has a new emporium. The Wigwam is now The Indian Bowl. Goin'to Harvard? is displacing D'javagoodsummer? In Hanover there is a spirit—The Dartmouth Spirit BUT there are also a lot of dull Freshman themes and if I don't hear from some of you soon, I'll have to print one of them instead of the class notes!!!!!!
