1937*
Our class won the NEW YORK PRIZE —we had the most on hand at the annual dinner. The prize was only applause (and snickers from '3B who were certain we used "ringers") but what more could we desire? "Hoppy" was there—he applauded. And so did Justice Learned Hand, and Bishop O'Hara—we were the recipients! "HOPPY" SPOKE OF LIBERALISM and declared, "It is not a one way street." In Chicago he delivered the same message, and so throughout the country. Elsewhere, perhaps others were applauded but we are proud of our victory.
You'd be interested in Hal Putnam's weekly news letter, "a non-profit, nonracket, non-influenced clearing house for progressive information" with its password taken from Max Mueller: "All truth is safe and nothing else is safe, and he who keeps back the truth, or withholds it from men, from motives of expediency is either a coward or a criminal or both." Way off in Papeete, Tahiti, Louis Valier is thinking and observing: "Being so far away from the rest of the world and yet coming in contact with so many different kinds and nationalities of peoples here, one gets a good perspective on world affairs. Restrictions here are fewer now but still only dancing on Sat. and Sun. nights and then until 11. To keep French capital from leaving the nation, travelers are allowed to take only 5000 francs away with them. Permission must be obtained from the government whenever a check is sent out of the country by mail. Now there's a law prohibiting the importation of any more foreign liquors, so that France will get all the business." In Feb., Wayne Ballantyne arrived in LaPaz, Bolivia "feeling light-headed and weak in the knees from the altitude of 12,000"—then on to Santiago & Buenos Aires. Jim Clegg's back from the Phillipines "reticent about it but with a smirk that said he enjoyed it out there." Jake Randolph still canvassing the Bad Lands and Black Hills for customers for his aluminum—has received several advances (in his job).
Been thinking of the FIFTH? Walt Heer re holding it in the summer: "The sociability of the reunion would be increased as there would be more activities and more enjoyment, for a particular class. It is also important to keep in mind that a Dartmouth man gets a tremendous feeling of pride in belonging when he sees the 50-year-class. He gets the impression, and rightly so, that Dartmouth College is a great American institution built right into our history and growth—that Dartmouth men have been doing, and always will do, great things all over the United States."
Gosh, it's tough keeping up with you gents! Tony Geniawicz now a "teacher." What's happened to "Hidy-Didy?" The Bill Ashes slipped out to Cleveland to take care of the Nat'l Cred. Office there. Albie Chester, and Bob Cheney now in the Big City—Bob engaged to Miriam Woods. Dud Meredith: "Ruth and I moved again—now Head Teller for the Wilmington office of Equitable Life." Pettengill and his Rolls in "Rm. 218, Cadet Quarters, Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla." Another lover of boids—Walter Graf at Lowry Field, Denver in the 3rd Squadron. W. Miller Makes More—planes: "Started work with Douglas AIRCRAFT, the Materials Control Dept. in the accounting end. There are 3 shifts of 5,000 each and I'm on from 5 P.M. to 1:30 A.M. So days I have been spending on the beach, surfing, reading and generally enjoying all the things I do on a vacation."
THE LEAP YEAR TOLL! March ad, Dick Joslin and Josephine Baily of New Castle, Del., were married. Dick's with du Ponts' in their treas. dept. and they live at 1407 Gilpin Ave. One week later George Gibson and Elizabeth Heflin of" Maplewood, N. J., were united midst that terrible gang from Phi Kappa Psi. Bob Pancake and Edwina Hansfield of Garden City, L. 1., are engaged to be married. Pardon me, Mrs. Mackey Burke was formerly Patricia Gill. Welcome ladies! ! We specialize in partnerships: Ike 8c Sally Collins (Ike's "management executive" at Macy's); Bob and Mary Jane Ekin (Bob's in statist, dept. of Baltimore Cons. Gas 8c Elect. Co.); Hal and Janet Evans are in Hanover. Hal 8c Sara Gould now in Haverhill (Hal's with Hartman Shoe Mfg. Cos.); in Newbury, Vt. Harry and Kay Cooke—he teaches everything from Home Eccy. to Zoology in the public school, having a Master's from the U. of Vt. in the latter subject. Two encouraging stories: Dick Sawyer—"2 evening courses a week, coaching 6 man football, and teaching 5 subjects Ruth and I now in 6 rooms because we couldn't afford 3, located in Plainville on the College Highway—highest bldg. in townclimb to the top and there we are. Am teaching mostly first generation Italian & Polish immigrants and getting a good cross section of America's problem in the future. No. 2—Art. Covey—"Finishing last year at N. Y. Law Sch.—afternoons, evenings, etc. I clerk with a local firm (Katonah,N. Y.) ....my marriage is hoped for and expected next July. I have the girl (Edythe Taggert), a job, not much money, and very little time, but still think it can be done providing I crack the 'Bar' with both feet kept on the ground." Others, with less courage, listen to the words of a Bostonian! "If you've got the right gal $30 or $35 a week ought to seem like a fortune. As a matter of fact you won't be very wealthy but married life has so many advantages it'll be worth a little close figuring I'm making $35 now."
A few new addresses: Sherman Field at Bramhall Field, Falmouth Foreside, Me.; Herb Bottjer at 5210 Forbes St., Pittsburg; Chellis French in Rockford, Ill.; George Mackey in June: "Jones, Nash & Birmingham," attorneys, 53 State St., Boston—The firm he worked for during summer of '37; Doug. Morris with Montgomery Ward, Dover, N. H.
INITIATES TO THE COLUMN: Ki Ayoob, reporter for Bangor, Me. DailyCommercial with a broad assignment: recruiting headquarters, all federal projects, fire dept., highway accidents, and at times the court house—"greatest thrill covering the Al Brady shooting in Oct. '37 when he and one of his gang were shot on one of the main streets."—"l haven't seen Johnny Palumbo since graduation, but get a letter every 3 weeks from him." (How about us, Columbo?) Bob Butler"- started tightening bolts (nuts!) in Butler Bin Cos., (Waukesha, Wis.)—later in drafting room, where I've been since. On various occasions I am sent out to erect a big ready-mixed concrete plant and recently went to N. Y. to try to prove to the Bldg. Dept. there that they were wrong—an assignment in which I was not completely successful, but a wonderful experience. It's a nerve-racking thing to put your knowledge against old experienced engineers."—"Frank Robin '37 Phi Beta is a reporter for Dun & Bradstreet, snoops mornings, afternoons transfers his information to dictagraphs, evenings at any Wagnerian performance at the Met."
DOLLAR A YEAR MEN: Al Bryant was great leading the New York Glee Clubs at the annual dinner—Tom Cohen: "Claude, Chuck and I going ahead with plans for a general Dartmouth dinner before Cornell Game on March 4th." Bob Greene in charge of publicity for Milwaukee Alumni: "Met Skowrup & Bratton, both of Elect. Prod. Co., skiing—also Walt. Lindemann, ex '37, and his pretty wife. He's in Stove Works in Milwaukee and was using ski wax of his own mfg., including celluloid, graphite, and 'X'." Devlin in Boston, Erdman and Mehlhorn in Eastern, Pa. recently listed as local alumni officers. Carhart, P. Johnston, Nast, and Carl Stern rounded up a sizeable gang for the Chicago Banquet when "Hoppy" urged BALANCE and reminded those of the "left" and those of the "right" that Dartmouth Men were not trained to travel a one way road!
Our own "Wah-Hoo-Wah" for Mort Berkowitz and his wampum warriors, returning to fill full the forging Fund.
