1932*
A steaming Tom and Jerry bowl was the main attraction at a '32 get-together held before the holidays in New York. Among those attending were two of the class whose new jobs have brought them to the Metropolis, or thereabouts. Dick Clarke went to the West Coast after a term in New York with the W. T. Grant organization to form the Richard T. Clarke Cos. (advertising) of Beverly Hills. Now he has returned to join J. M. Mathes, Inc. on 42nd St. He is unmarried.
Junie Hawkes spent some time in Scarlett's home town in Georgia, then moved to Baltimore. At present he is living at 168 Palisaide Road, Elizabeth, N. J., and works in Newark as a freight solicitor for the Penn R. R. Has a daughter, Susan, aged 2½.
Carl Baker, having negotiated all hurdles, oral and otherwise, has been awarded his Ph.D. by Princeton, where he has spent the last several years teaching English. This gives rise to the speculation of how many other '32s have similar academic investiture. Offhand we think of Charlie Odegaard (History); Shel Reed (Genetics); Jim Wakelin (Physics), and Frank Westheimer (Chemistry). There are undoubtedly others, and if they are not too bashful will they send on their names for the record?
Howie Sargeant brings us up to date on Washington affairs with some divine chitchat about the local boys. It seems lawyers overrun the town. Deac Mack continues in the Registration Division of the SEC, plays a little squash, lives with Jack Pyles. Jack's career is somewhat varied. He has finished six years or more of night school training to be an accountant and a lawyer as well, the while working in a bank by day. In addition, he dabbles in automobile financing and is interested in certain real estate projects. Bowls with the Dartmouth bowling team and is reviving his interest in squash at the University Club. Jack Munn is a lawyer with the Department of Interior, having previously been with the LaFollette Civil Liberties Committee. Has a wife and babe. Joe Fanelli is married, lives in Arlington, has been successively a lawyer with the SEC, Department of Justice, and last with the Railroad Retirement Board, where he now is.
Mark Mackey is also in the Registration Division of SEC, albeit more concerned with the accounting operations of that potent New Deal agency.
Bob McGuire is married, has a baby, and continues to work with his father's undertaking firm, one of the biggest. Bob Smith lives in Arlington, and has just returned from a six-week field trip for the U. S. Biological Survey.
Jim Riley writes from Santa Monica, California, to deny a report "that has become more or less accumulative, and that has little basis in fact," to wit, that he is a director of the Pasadena Community Playhouse. He comments, modestly enough, that the Playhouse was nationally and internationally known before he arrived on the scene. "It hardly needs or wants any nickel's worth of fame that might be lent it by any of the transient workers within its portals," he points out. "I know of only one circumstance that, with no real embarrassment to anyone, might have given rise to the misapprehension that continues to make me a part of the Playhouse management. My portrayal of Leonard, the myopic stage director, in our long-running production of "Up in Mabel's Room," received some press notices—as I cannot but admit—commenting upon its verisimilitude; and it is possible that our audiences, seeing me in this play within a play, were led to believe that my Playhouse role betokened my real position there, i.e. that I was one of the Playhouse directors (each of whom, as it oddly happens, is known to suffer from one or another defect of vision). If any such confusion arose from the rather complicated stage device employed in that engaging little comedy, it is understandable, and should simply be smiled away." From the balance of the letter we extract two further facts: that Jim's article, "Depth-Advertising," appeared in a 1938 issue of Printers' Ink; and that he wrote a play, "Not Poppy, Nor Mandragora," adapted from a story of his that appeared in the Psychoanalytic Review in the same year.
Ed Holbrook, who left Dartmouth after two years to attend dental school in Pennsylvania, is now a dentist in Rockville Center, L.I., and has a one-year-old daughter, Gail. Gail is also the name of Babe Weinberg's two-year-old fair one. Babe is in the newspaper distributing business in Brooklyn.
Ed Eichler had Dick Cleaves and Gus Babson '33 out hunting at his Fin 'n Feather Club in mid-December, and "Cleaves, who claims he has never hunted before, was a veritable gangster with a tommy-gun as he mowed down pheasants." Ed saw Art Schlichter when he was in Chicago on one of the numerous trips to the mid-West and other points the latter has taken recently in the interest of the Joe Lowe Corp.
Gene Freeman has a job with the Nebraska Power Co., in Omaha which "promises to be of a permanent nature with a good future." He was the only '33 representative at a dinner for Bob Strong given recently. Jim Wakelin is a senior physicist for the B. F. Goodrich Co. in Akron. DonMacPhail has shelved newspaper work for the present to join the Wrigley Chewing Gum Co., advertising department in Chicago. Bud Alexa?ider is a special agent for the Aetna Casualty & Surety Co., in Louisville, Ky.
While in Stamford recently it was our good fortune to run into Irv Rosenblum, who lives in that town but practices law in Darien, a few miles away, having offices in the Darien Theatre Bldg. Irv is still unmarried and enjoying the life of a Connecticut attorney. He finds time to serve as the president of Stamford's Inter-Racial Council, an organization with membership from all nationalities and sects which sponsors community-wide programs for better neighborhood relations. Len Salit, he reports, is helping to promote the mail order business of a New York apparel store.
Doc Hahn is at the American Oncologic Hospital, Philadelphia. Si Jacobson, whom he met at the American College of Surgeons meeting in Philly this fall, has a fellowship in surgery at Israel Zion Hospital in Brooklyn. Jack Griffin is holding down a position in urology in Jersey City.
Miss Alicia Rudolph Garfield of Concord and Cambridge, Mass., great-granddaughter of the late President Garfield, is engaged to John B. Cabot, now residing at 465 Warren St., Needham, Mass. Miss Garfield attended Radcliffe College and the Amy Sacker School of Design, and is an accomplished artist. Mr. Cabot, an architect, is treasurer and a director of the Housing Securities and Westover corporations. He entered Dartmouth with the class of '32 and later studied at M. I. T., from which he won a scholarship at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Fontainebleau. He has designed houses and sets for motion pictures in Hollywood and Los Angeles. He was color expert and a designer of the General Motors' Futurama at the World's Fair.
Walt Langley, who sells for the Hood Rubber Cos. and lives in Binghampton, N. Y., returned to his home town in Lowell, Mass., long enough to marry Charlotte Eleanor Evirs, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell H. Evirs on July 2. Mrs. Langley is a graduate of the Lowell State Teachers College, and until her marriage taught in a Lowell School.
Frayik Marks is an arranger of music at National Broadcasting Co., and DickLeach is in the continuity department at the same place. Dan Kraft is the editor of Insilco News, published by the International Silver Co., of Meriden, Conn. CarlMcGowan has left New York's whirl and bustle for the berth of an Assistant Professor of Law at Northwestern University Law School. Lives at the Lake Shore Athletic Club in Chicago.
