1935*
It will not be long now. Six weeks from the date of writing. Less than two weeks from the time you are reading this. 1935 will descend on New Hampshire Hall to don their costumes for three days of—words fail me. In addition to those we listed last month, you can expect to find Hetfield, Johnson, Lowell, Bankart, E. E. Hinman, Harvey, Childs, Rowe, White, King, Hormel, Carrick, Moulton, Naramore, Feingold, Price, Hawkins, Mathers, Mills, Adams, Stern, Freeman, Bonner, Parachini, Silverman, Wilks, McMullen, Hattenbach, Kerwin, Keane, Jacobs, Wallace, Fisher, Dawson, Weil, Roundey, Keenan, Geo. Col ton, Steele,—and Reunion Treasurer Ralph Specht reports that every mail brings more cards. Incidentally, Ralph requests that if you have not already done so, please send him your $7 right away, 57 Warrington Place, East Orange, New Jersey. Funds are needed for advance expenses.
We hate to use this column to keep digging you for money. However, we just received a report of the Alumni Fund as of May 6th, and were greatly distressed that every other class from '33 through '39 had more than twice the number of contributors we had. Let's get going, send those checks to Bud, and put us up on top where we should be.
News this month is both new and old. The information cards received to date have brought us a considerable bulk of ancient news which must have missed official recognition when it was hot. During 1939 no one told us about the wedding of Art Holtorff and Adella Brockmann on December Bth. Art is a research chemist with Armour & Co. in Chicago, and is hoping to get a Master's at the University of Chicago this month Ralph Lazarus, merchandise manager for F & R Lazarus & Co. in Columbus, was married the 34th of June to Gladys Kleeman. The other unreported 1939 wedding was that of Hank McLister and Elizabeth Imrie on September 14th.
1940 Weddings: Stan Britten and Jane B. Hardcastle on March 30th. They are living in Akron, where Stan is with an investment company Although she neglected to give us the date for the record we are indebted to his mother for an account of the wedding in Huntsville, Alabama, of Win Garth and Emily Thornton, probably during April. Fred Atkinson was a member of the wedding party As previously anticipated in this column, Owen Fairweather and Sally Hallberg were wed on May 4th.
Plans for 1940 Weddings: Several of the cards gave as the date of marriage a day not yet arrived. We assume congratulations are in order. Doctor Bob Bonner and Eleanor Keller have set September 7th as the day for walking the aisle. George Goodman has made plans which conflict with Reunion by scheduling his wedding for June 16th. Probably Maxine Bakalar, the other principal, was responsible for this. George is president of Textiles, Inc. in Lowell There are two other June bridegrooms. Doctor Jim Peirce and Caroline Coffin will be married on the sth, and Dumont Mills and Virginia Anne Nordeng on the 29th. Jim is at present interning at the Indianapolis City Hospital and Dumont is a salesman for F. W. Dodge Cos. in Chicago The Dartmouth News Service sends word of the engagement of Dick Hube to Elizabeth Hanavan of East Aurora, N. Y
Here is an engagement which will be a marriage when you read this,—May aoth is the big day for Frank Wright and Cathrine Howorth.
Dartmouth or Smith '6O: Some of these are ancient news to the particular parent, but we have checked and you have not heard about them through this column. Ed and Evelyn Cary had a daughter Evelyn born January 12, 1939. Lew and Jean Cole now have a boy and a girl, the latter named Judith, born August 10, 1939. On November 10th Paul and Joanne Cummings became the parents of a daughter Betsey. So far they seem to be all headed for Smith. But Dave and Eva Millard we are sure have entered little Roger, born December 12th, for four long Hanover winters as a relief from Florida's heat. And we have others. Frank and Ruth Stockman became parents of Kent on June 18, 1939. Incidentally, did you know that about every one of us sees some of Frank's handiwork each week. He is a layout artist employed by the publishers of LIFE And then there is young John C. Wallace, son of John A. and Marjorie, celebrating his first birthday this May 24th 1940 has brought us two more daughters. On March 21st Ed and Helen Everhart became the parents of Katharine Page. Latest known addition to our family is Melinda Rees on April 25th. Probably you Nebraskans got a cigar and an insurance fight talk from Sam.
Tid-bits on Earning Our Living: Ivan Bash is practicing law in Trenton, which is also his home town. A classmate of his at Newark University Law School, Bert Hetfield, is practicing nearby in Plainfield. Johnny Doyle is an inspector for U. S. Rubber Co. in Naugatuck, Connecticut. Dick Howell is with J. I. Case Co. of Racine, Wisconsin. We are mystified by receiving from Hanover a report that Dick had moved to Atlanta followed two days later by Dick's card giving Racine as his headquarters Bill Kempf is still with the Brooklyn Edison Cos. Ben Kuhns is an insurance agent in Dayton. Lew Kirchhofer is interning at the Hahnemann Hospital in Philadelphia. Oliver Knode, formerly with Stevens Arms, is now in Utica with Savage Arms Co Pedro Espaillat must have found that opening with MetroGoldwyn-Mayer's foreign department. His address is Santiago, Dominican Republic. Dick Mitchell is practicing law in Oswego, New York. The fact that Dick has been married since January, 1936, was news to us. Joe Paradhini is working as a private secretary with A.G.W.I. Lines, having an office at the foot of Wall Street. ... .Fay Reed, with an M.A. from U.V.M. in 1937, is now teaching at the High School in Burlington, Vermont. Brad Reeves earned an LL. B. at National University last year and is now a statistical clerk with the Association of American Railroads in Washington. Hal Silverman is still trying to keep down the national debt by chasing delinquent taxpayers. He is a deputy collector in the Internal Revenue Department with headquarters in Littleton, New Hampshire.
Ted Steele is leaving Bryn Mawr this June and going to Columbia for two years of part time teaching and work on his Ph.D. During the past year in addition to the teaching of English, Ted has been doing some very interesting work in speech and diction. This report comes from George Colton, who has written after a long period of silence, justified we are sure by a heavy dose of lectures and studying in accounting in addition to his regular work. His course is now finished and he is getting a breathing spell. His present plans are to take the C.P.A. exam in Maine next spring. It seems that The Clark Thread Company have decided to send him to Dixfield, Maine for a few years. Dixfield is Randy Stowell's home town. Not long ago Randy and Phoebe spent a couple of weeks in Florida, possibly on business.
John Thomas got a B.S. in mechanical engineering at the University of Wisconsin in 1936 and is applying his knowledge as a lubrication service engineer for Shell Oil Cos. in Chicago. Sax Ziemen is in the advertising department of Bakelite Corporation. Bobb Chaney has company in Batten, Barton, etc. Bill Walrath is in the Chicago office as a space buyer
Johnny Bryant, with an L.L. B. from .Michigan last June, is an attorney in Grand Rapids. Ernie Hedler is a salesman for E. F. Houghton & Cos. in Philadelphia, oils and leather being the line.
Stan Benson has just left the Y.M.C.A. work and entered the employ of the New England Cranberry Sales Company in Middleboro, Mass. Ken Rule, still continuing his work with Remington Rand, has taken over the management of an apartment house in Manchester From Hollywood comes a note of sadness about being unable to come to Hanover for Reunion. The sender is Maurie Rapf, at present writing for Paramount on a musical called Dancing on a Dime, which ought to be out this summer. Frank Specht forwarded us a letter from Hugh Wolff, who has made the excellent decision to expand his Reunion stay by taking in Hanover Holiday. (We know he will not regret this decision.) Hugh reports that Ed Skillin, our perennial undergraduate, will surely be on hand the 14th. Being a cautious attorney with a smattering of the law of libel we refrain from printing it, but when you get to Hanover ask Ed about a week-end and a couple of young ladies.
A note of regret. This will be the last column by your present scribe. It has been work, but I have enjoyed it. May I extend my sincere thanks for the kind assistance rendered by so many of you. See you ALL in HANOVER the 14th, 15th and 16th! ! !
