1935*
We have just completed the folding stamping, sealing, and so forth necessary to put 690 bills and letters in the mail and on their merry way to you. By the time you are reading this we hope Bobb Chaney's pockets will be several hundred dollars richer. If you haven't already done so, mail that dollar to him now at the address above. We also hope that by the time you are reading this we will have hundreds of post cards covered with news for the next issue. We are somewhat short of material due to relying on the hopes of getting the bills and cards out about ten days earlier.
Doc Parfitt, whose marriage we reported last month, is Senior House Officer at the Massachusetts Osteopathic Hospital in Jamaica Plain. Most recent marriage is that of Jim Oughton to Jane Patterson Boyce in St. James P. E. Church in New York. The Oughtons are living in Dwight, Ill, where according to last reports, Jim is employed by Leslie E. Keeley Cos Recently in the same mail we received, four months late, from Dave Smith and the lucky groom himself, reports of the wedding last October 7th of Bill Gahagan and Lorna Jane Plump of Piedmont, California, in the Carmel Mission. Paine Knickerbocker '33 was best man. The Gahagans live in Berkeley where Lorna attends the University. Presumably Bill is still with McGraw-Hill We just received confirmation of an ancient rumor. Bob Richter was married last May 13th to Audrey Anderson of Berkeley. Bob is now living in Flushing, L. 1., and working for American Smelting and Refining Cos.
In anticipation of spring we have word of several engagements. Miss Janice Cole of Little Compton, R. 1., to Homer Dewey, now of Boston. Miss Norma May Wenk of New York City to Doc Harry Marchmont-Robinson. Harry, a graduate of Pennsylvania Medical School, is interning at Kings County Hospital, Brooklyn. Miss Catherine Howarth of Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania to Frank Wright of Chicago. Frank, a graduate of Harvard Law School, is an attorney for Montgomery Ward. There is an unconfirmed rumor without details that George Hoke has plans for etting tied.
Lou Niles, in Chicago recently to attend a directors' meeting, was cordially entertained by Ed Skillin at his suburban home in Wilmette. Taken by Ed on a tour of the night spots Lou noted at adjoining tables such celebrities as Connie Bennett and others whose names we have forgotten. Lou had to decline the invitation to tay over a week to be present at Hugh Rafferty's wedding to Ann Gainey scheduled for January 20th in Flint. Tom and Barbara Wilson and Ed Skillin were among the '3sers planning to attend pick Kenney, always possessed of a leaning toward the field of art and interior decorating, has left the insurance business to work for Paine Furniture Cos., which I should imagine is the largest company of its kind in New England Bob Collins is reported to have become the father of a baby girl during the Christmas season.
The letter from Dave Smith brought tales of the rebroadcast in San Francisco of the Stanford-Dartmouth game, together with the dinner that evening for Dean "Bob" Strong. Dave and Bob were the speakers at the half. Say, what do you talk about, Dave? Music at the dinner was furnished by the West Coast Barbary Coast with Lowie Hass and Bill Mann. In prospect on the Coast are a ski party over Lincoln's Birthday and a visit from President Hopkins over Washington's Birthday. Speaking of gatherings, a class party for Greater Boston is planned for the middle of March. If you do not get word soon, please call Doug Ley or myself.
Doctor Black, after 2 years at Dartmouth Medical School and 2 years in Miami, recently turned up in lowa City, presumably putting his training to practice. Doctor Bill Butts interned in lowa City the year before Blackie arrived, and is now a full-fledged physician and surgeon in Spokane, Washington I took a quick count recently and found we had about 37 doctors among our graduates. Clif Mills is interning at Bellevue Hospital, New York City; Ray Schear at Charity Hospital in New Orleans.
Otto Calderari is a foreman in the Schick Dry Shaver plant at Stanford, Connecticut. Bob Carr is branch manager for Kraft-Phenix cheese in Rutland, Vermont. Harry Harlor is representing PrenticeHall, Inc. selling, I suppose, to the legal profession. We have about 53 lawyers Russ Kirsch was the only '35er to be found in the ministry. Russ is now rector of the Church of the Redeemer in Addison, New York Bill Lionett has left the lumberj business and is with Lever Brothers in Cambridge. Johnny Shelmire is a sales executive for B.V.D. Corp. in St. Louis. Bob Smith is a general assistant in the marketing department of Frosted Food Sales Corp. George McVicar is helping produce the Investment Dealers' Digest in New York City Maynard Rogers must be looking for oil. He is a geologist for Tide Water out in Evansville Think of the tabulation the alphabetical bureaus in Washington must perform. Probably trying to ease this load is Bill Bury, now with the government department of International Business Machines Corp.
We should have quite a group at the Dartmouth Secretaries Association meeting in May. Rey Moulton is secretary of the Maine association. Gardy Spring is secretary of the Central New York Club, and Ted Harbaugh of the Toledo Club. Among other '35ers active in clubs this year are Frankie Cornwell, president of the St. Louis association, and Bob Stone, assistant secretary of the Northwest Association.
The first of the post cards enclosed with the bills have just come in. Hope Bobb is starting on a flood of dollars. The first card brought news of Doc and Kay Potter from Marion, Virginia. They must get up early in the morning down there. I mailed the letters late Saturday afternoon. The reply was postmarked 8 A.M. Monday. Dick finished up at Rush Medical College in June '38, spent a year interning in Detroit, and now is associated with another M.D. in a general country practice "with plenty to do." Dick recently heard from Bill Mumler, another Rush graduate, who is at the Presbyterian Hospital in Chicago, having recently taken as a bride one of the nurses. (Thanks, Dick. How about details, Bill?) See you in June. Hope we find this on every card Tom Wilson reports on the Rafferty nuptials. Except for that interlude Tom is busy practicing law and raising his family.
Of the 37 doctors, Wayne Geib graduated last June from Jefferson along with Lippman, Wertheim and Schoenfelt. He is at Jefferson Hospital till 1942, having an appointment for one year of pathology and then two years of rotating service. He was married December 29, 1938 to Skippy Richards of Mahonoy City, Pa Jim Coppeto has followed his four years at Marquette with a summer at Undercliff State Tuberculosis Sanatorium in Meridan, Connecticut, and is now interning at Waterbury Hospital. Plans call for a wedding around Easter, the honors being shared with Betty Santovasi.,. . .Sam Stern is still doing publicity and public relations work at Tom Fizdale, Inc., New York City. He says he has nothing exceptionally exciting to report. That is better than the completely blank card I got from Cambridge Dick Eberhart reports the marriage last August of Johnny Egan and Bernice Fitzgerald. The Egans live in Glenbrook, Connecticut, John being employed in Stanford by Yale Towne Mfg. Co.....Ty Carlisle sends word of the marriage last fall of Chuck Moon and Miriam Robertson of Dayton who are now living at Detroit. There is also a last-minute flash that Jim Hughes and Elizabeth Sherman of Cleveland were married February 2.
. . . .Dick Upton, attempting to live down the reputation of being a Harvard Law man, calls himself a country lawyer up in Concord, New Hampshire. The work is as varied as his clients, who range from public utilities to woodchoppers.
Sorry, but will have to save the rest until April.
