1939*

HERE AND THERE

Once again Cardozo bats for Gibson and we start down the first base line with a quote from the latter. Gibby writes from the U.S.S. Arkansas: "This is probably the hardest month I have ever spent, but I guess it's good for me. Haven't bumped into any '39ers on board much to my displeasure. Regards to all." John Henry Sullivan is in Danville, Kentucky studying plant management with the Palm Beach Clothing outfit ("I knew the prexy)—Danville is a wide open college town, Centre College ("My time is not socially dull.") Howie Chivers is now teaching at "one of the finest schools in the East"—Gould Academy in Bethel, Maine. (1/2 hour to Mt. Washington!) Howie tells of small reunion with Bill Russell who is with the Norton Abrasives in Pittsburgh. Lou Oldershaw is at Yale Law again, rooming with Johnny Egbert. Lou says, "Attended All-Star game in Boston with Moose Wyman. See Ed Wakelin a lot, for we're on the way to becoming brother-in-laws. He's working for Filene's in Worcester. Expect to get married in November unless Uncle Sam puts his foot down." (Date??? Girl???) Sherm Brown is working for the United States Rubber Co. in Newark. Has seen the Tommy Hine and Foote at such places as the G.A. and the Barbizon. Sherm says: "Just got engaged, but like prosperity so is the altar." Steve Bradley with wife, Bunny, at Yale Drama School. (Steve: I have your brother Rick in Freshman English .... as all Bradley's, a good student!) Add to the legal minds at Yale Lou Oberdorfer who spent the summer in Washington with the Anti-Trust Division of the Department of Justice. Bob Chase, who summered with Wilson & Co. and Detroit Steel Products, is now at the Armour Institute School of Architecture in Chicago. He says: "Have seen Jim Donovan, Bob White, Jim Sampson, the former two on fashionable North Michigan Ave. lunching in unfashionable dives; the latter at the Kenilworth Home for Wayward Dart- mouth Men, where the latch-key is a pint of gin." Ernie Smith who is at Tufts Medical along with Charlie Thompson and Dave Reid writes that he "spent an 'enjoyable summer working in a hospital for mental diseases—just like Topliff on opening week, a continuous rat-race.' Saw Bill Green at Canobie Lake dancing to T. Dorsey with N(ice) B(abe)!"

SPECIAL FEATURE

Dear Pete, I am enclosing the first issue of a newsletter that Phil Johnson, Dick Wallace and I hope to edit with some regularity about the members of '39 who were second year Tuck-men. Sincerely, Bill Vaughan. (We quote in part with many thanks to you fellows for a lot of work and a great job.) Inter-Plant CommunicationTo: Tuck-men and to whom it may concern. From: J-V-W.

From Newburyport, Mass.: Mr. Farr (Duncan) has informed us that he is making great strides in the work .... nay, profession .... for which he prepared; he is now polishing silver with the Towle Mfg. Cos. A late visitor to Hanover, he reports: "Building index has reached new peak with the completion of pine-panelled Butterfield Hall, the new Psi U house, and the rebuilt Theta Chi. Business failures are showing a sharp increase with the crumping of the Wigwam, which has been reorganized under 77-B, and has emerged as the Indian Bowl (Saia's).

Personal to Mr. Searles (Ed): Our sincere Congrats to you on your new position; we know you can make your weight felt in your work with the Toledo Scale Co. Facts and Flashes: Having turned the hosiery department of Brown's Dep't. Store into a paying racket, Brownie (Bob) has taken up residence in N. Y. to learn how to become a buyer. He is learning from the foundation up, as he reports: "Women's underwear houses plenty slick with living models living (sic) in Utopian fashion. Have also attended luncheons of Fashion Group and several shows. Free food, free drinks, and looking at the models isn't exactly hard work." Duke Lyon is working for the American Brass Co. Fred Fiigon doing accounting for Seidman and Seidman in N. Y. C., and is taking tax courses at N. Y. U. two eves a week. Charlie Sakowitch participating in audits of Haskins and Sells. Next audit in Buffalo. Incidentally, Charlie has made a legal change in name; it is Stack now instead of Sakowitch.

The editors: Wallace is in the printing business, doing the planning, routing and scheduling of production. Johnson has a perambulating job which finds him in Newton, Needham, or Roxbury—as the fancy strikes someone higher up. Vaughan, of course, is supposed to be the student, but actually he spends his time in writing stuff like this, following Radcliffe girls, and studying road maps of Boston.

DOWN THE AISLE

The theme song for this department is "Now that the Draft is Over" (to be sung to "After the Ball is Over), for "We All Got High Numbers," for there are but two nuptials to report. Bob White "better or worsed" it with Maryanne Peters of Highland Park, Ill. on Oct. 5. Small family wedding with Jim Donovan as best man and Bob McLeod looking on. Dick Schumacher kept me from being a liar (see last issue) with Shirley Neurohr. They are "apartmenting it" in the Village section of New York.

LETTERS OF THE MONTH

Armando Chardiet Jr., writes to us from San Lazaro 860, Habana, Cuba. "Finished first year in Havana U. Law School, heading the class of 900. I must admit that part of my success is not only due to hard work, but to the cultural background of Dartmouth. I haven't only found success, but I have also found love, because I am engaged to Mary Fernandez, formerly of U. C. L. A. I hope to get married as soon as I graduate. It will be a great wedding and you are all invited. Larry Gilbert is working in an insurance company here. I said 'working,' because that is what he told me, but I have my doubts. He seems to be in all the (the word is Spanish and I guess it means 'dives'!). Last I saw him in Sans Souci dancing with a beautiful Cuban girl, and having a wonderful time."

George Boswell in almost poetry reports on his life: Stunk and slunk and strunted around employment agencies. Pulled and jerked and yanked strings, wires and cords with no visible effect of puppets of industry surnamed by ironic socialists as tycoons and big shots. Still no effects. Leaves leave. No effects. Disgust. October? Going, going. .... Bang! at last N. Y. C. Wanted young man: that's me. Train. Pass. Diploma. Title, several titles, promises, salaries, raises, opportunity, the green fields ahead, pat on back .... train leaves N. Y. C

jerk, jerk, clap, clap-dreams Train stops Albany. Dump, chaos. Chaos as salesclerk in bargain room of Montgomery Ward Sky has cleared and am now settled down in ease, quiet, dignity, etc., as a master of French at the St. Paul's School in Concord, N. H."
