1934*
First brothers-in-law, to our knowledge, within the classic fold of 1934 are George Copp and Harry Wallace. Harry, who is now with the General Foods Sales Company, had his engagement recently announced to Kathleen Joan Copp, of Forest Hills and New Rochelle College '37. Link Daniels and Bill Gilmore were among those who attended the announcement fete, March 3. George C., apparently determined to have no wedding march stolen on him by younger sister and fraternity brother, hit the press a month back, as previously chronicled, with his engagement to Marjorie McNeill, also of New Rochelle College. What is there about this New Rochelle place? We've been getting off the train there for six long years, eyes wide open, and we can't even dream up a middle-of-the-week movie date.
Jack Feth gently chides us for placing him south of the border. . . .it's really New Mexico where he does publicity direction for the University.
Steve Meigher and Denise Connor were married in Pelham Manor, New York, on Saturday, April 6. Steve's is marriage No. 14 on the Casque & Gauntlet list, and with Powers now on the casualty list, only 4 remain to hold up the sacred traditions of bachelorhood. We've had no word from Ballard in recent seasons, but will continue to rely assuredly upon Neill and Hess for support until we receive sworn statements that they too have thrown in the sponge. We'd be much interested to hear from the spokesmen of any other groups which may have turned in a similar signal performance during these six years.
The Bob Singletons rejoice in the arrival, February 26, of David Richmond Singleton And there is an Edwin C. Corson Jr., who made his debut about the middle of March before his parents and older brother, in St. Louis Ace Miller
is soon to achieve the paternal status
All these items, as we recall, are from Harry Ingram, who for the time being is giving up the attic life of a South Norwalk playwright (one opus bought but not produced by John Golden) for the itinerant life of a New York jobhunter.
Bill Adams has been transferred by J. Walter Thompson to their St. Louis office, where he will be in charge of copy production. New address: Shell Building, 1221 Locust St., St. Louis, Missouri Articles by J. Clarence Davies reflecting on country-wide business conditions and prospects for the future appeared in several New York newspapers during January Herb Jackson authored Notes on Marine Aquarium Animals in the November, 1939 issue of THE AMERICAN MIDLAND NATURALIST.
Kirk Spitler sheds welcome light on the Cleveland situation: "Several noteworthy events have recently appeared on the horizon, not the least of which is Stan Smoyer's engagement to Miss Barbara Brooks of Akron, a fine lassie. They're apparently taking this marriage business seriously, for in a recent note he asked to meet me some night next week to kill time while Barbara attends the local department store's school for brides A number of Clevelanders, including a high percentage of Dartmouths, travel to Alleghany Park, N. Y., for week-end skiing, what with good trails, a slalom hill, ski tow, etc. Two weeks ago I was delightfully surprised to run into Sam McCray, who had traveled some 400 miles from Dayton to get there Hoppy's recent visit to Cleveland occasioned an excellent turnout for our annual banquet. Charlie Armes was on hand, as he happened to be in town on business."
Brice Banks can be reached at 83114 N. Beaudry Ave., Los Angeles. These fractional addresses always give us to pause, but that's what, it says, right there on paper: 83114 Charlie Orvis is back to robust health in Tucson, and is studying at the University of Arizona. He reports Ed Kelley teaching at the University, having received his M. A. in History and Political Science at Arizona last year. We want to report to Charlie, in the likely event of not writing him before this reaches print, the enjoyment of meeting his father and several of his home-town friends during a recent ski week-end in Manchester, Vermont. We were shown a photograph of Orvis at that time, taken only a few months before, in which he looks more like Glazer than like a fellow who has spent four years in illness.
A. Hewitt is now treading the boards in Sarayon's new play, name of Love's OldSweet Song, in which he fills the role of a "subscription salesman" for TIME Magazine. Your deponent succeeded in convincing him academically that there is no such phenomenon as a Time subscription salesman, but Alan couldn't wax very enthusiastic about selling this bit of harsh fact to the author. He did, however, manage to get himself called, in the revised script, a young man from Dartmouth, having hollered Harvard down from the first rehearsal. The play opened at Princeton last Saturday. New Haven papers please copy.
We were greatly saddened by the death of Craven Laycock. He was more than a Dean to our class, although in that capacity we shall probably remember him best. That memory is kindly and loving. But also he was, in a great sense, a classmate, for he left his active role in the College on the day we did, and received his honorary degree with us on that memorable June morning in 1934.
