1933*
In the last issue in the course of a few grumpy remarks about the Winter Carnival season we threw in a question about the present state of the art of snow sculp, ture at a certain fraternity. For the sake of the record let it be stated that we have been answered-and in no uncertain terms—with documentary proof in the form of a photograph (Exhibit A) that "the Alpha Delts have actually completed a piece of snow sculpture."
We are indebted to Professor Edmund Hendershot (Nanki-Poo) Booth for this prompt and devastating reply. As usual we are forced to retire from the forum in confusion. We have ordered the exhibit placed on file in the Town Clerk's office for the edification of all Doubting Thomases.
GENTLEMAN OF THE TOGA
From the Medical School of the University of Vermont (via J. A. Davidson '33) and from the Harvard Medical School (via T. M. Monagan '36) we have received several reams of newspaper clippings telling of the noteworthy entrance into public life of D. Gooding Rollins, silver-nosed tenor and original family man of 1933. Attorney Rollins on March 5, 1940 was elected a Selectman of the Town of Brookline, Massachusetts, a post held for many years by his father. Of all the pictures our favorite is the one from the Boston Traveler showing the fledgeling politician in the bosom of his family, reading from left to right: Daniel G. Rollins Jr., Selectman Rollins, Philip Rollins and Mrs. Rollins.
Bro. Davidson in a letter accompanying the clip of the Rollins coup writes from 10 S. Willard St., Burlington, Vt.:
"The medical course is going along fineAs you surmised, we are getting into the 'interesting stuff now. Sometimes it smells bad, but we manage to revel in it. Your mention of Quinn reminds me that Ire' ceived a letter from him last Spring. Burlington is my permanent residence nine months of the year. Last summer my "mate and I drove to the coast and back Had a wonderful trip. The only bad feature is that it gives one a taste for more travel."
With a deep salaam to Hap Hinman, the Class Secretary of 1910, who sent us the information, we make belated reference to an item in the June 1937 issue of Sales Management which describes at some length the achievements of the Snead brothers in their fabulous tomato juice business. On paper bearing the letterhead of the South Bend Clinic, George Gates writes as follows:
"After graduation from Rochester Medical School (1936), I went to Albany, N. Y., Hosptal for one year (interneship) and then went through a Medical Residency at the Roosevelt Hospital in New York Citv—'Then came to South Bend to start the practice of Internal Medicine as a member of the staff of The South Bend Clinic. Expect to be here permanently. Married Aug. 3, 1937 to Thais Marasco of Detroit and the Eastman School of Music in Rochester. One son, Thomas Anthony, born Aug. 20, 1939. Dr. Ralph Keyes is giving the 'Smut' course at Cornell.... address—Graduate Club, Ithaca, N. Y Dick Graves—selling insurance in N. Y. C. -address 320 W. 56th St., New York City."
We may as well insert here excerpts from a note from Chas. Finfrock, the first paragraph of which is wholly unintelligible. He says: "President Hopkins was here recently at a Banquet at the Union Club and as you have probably heard it was good to see the Swanders, Schuemann,Fairbank, McKee again. Fairbank, incidentally has had a grave disciplinary problem at his establishment. He found his watchman sleeping on the floor and, I believe, dispensed with his services. To us more humanitarian individuals, provision for a sofa would seem to be more accommodating. But then again, Cleveland is the safest place to live?.... Gulliver,
From Fast-Approaching-The-Bar Milius: "I had a swell time last night at the N. Y. Alumni Dinner. I am out of the liquor business and spend my time between here (McManus, Ernst & Ernst—l70 Broadway) and law school. I am thereby hoping to mould my future- career. We had a good bunch at the dinner though not as large as some classes. Our long lost
Jack Robinson appeared by permission of American Airlines, his usual chipper self. Harry Osborne ventured across the River Hudson from his lair in Newark. We had George Farrand, Bud Madden, ChetThomson, Mel Katz, Chum Glendenning,Dave Flynn and a few others whose names slip my mind. Dick Graves was responsive for herding the gang together and I must say that it's no easy matter. DickRocker is now working at the Lake Placid Club directing ski trips. Dick Bradshaw became engaged recently. I meet Lawyer AI Swan once in a while here on Broadway. Stirl Wheeler appeared by chance from Boston at one of our monthly class dinners. He is selling machinery for the manufacture of cotton goods."
STRICTLY BUSINESS We make public at this time the report of Lee Eckels, Class Treasurer, re: Dues Collection For The Period Sept. 1, 1939 To August 31, 1940: 203 members got up the necessary dough. The roster includes a Mr. X who brings up the rear in involuntary anonymity due to a slip in recording his name.
The report shows a deficit of $33.11 after the payment of expenses, the largest item of which is, of course, the Class subscription to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. By subsequent letters we have been informed that this deficit has been substantially reduced through late payments. We have not the exact present figure at hand.
Lee pays special tribute to the valuable aid that Ted Okie gave in rounding up the New York group.
We are frank to say that we were astounded at the success of this campaign in its first year. The almost perfect record is due entirely to the efforts of Lee Eckels and it is a pleasure to extend to him the thanks and appreciation of the Class.
Due to a promotion Page Worthington will not be able to act as Class Agent for the Alumni Fund this year. Hal Smith and your Secretary in a quest for a successor were presented with the name of EdFoley. Said Foley was lured to Waterbury where he was wined and dined and, all unwitting, lured into an old fashioned, rushing—season, hot box. He finally succumbed to the combination of wiles, blandishments, food and drink and agreed to take over the generalship of the Fund campaign. This will explain the change in the starting line-up.
All we ask is that you be as good to him as you were to Page last year.
