1934*
Hope you've had a swell summer. There seems to be no better way to resume this column for the year 1941-42 than by asking again for your help in keeping the mailbag full. Write in on engraved stationery, penny postcards or old pieces of birch bark, but some way or other keep this word- mangier in touch with your milestones, serious or otherwise.
It has always seemed to us that when a fellow goes and accomplishes something really important for himself, like getting married, for instance, he ought to rate at least a whole paragraph in the MAGAZINE that's going to tell his old school chums about the deal. Back in the months soon after college, when a '34 wedding was the signal for the railroads to put extra cars on their week-end trains, and for those few who stayed behind to block traffic on Madi- son Avenue talking about it, we used to enjoy reflecting for a few lines on a guy's change of status. But today, when scarcely a week goes by without striking someone of us off the single list, we've got to settle for a tabulation. Here's the line-up since last printing.
Bill Callihan was married August g in Greensboro, N. C., to Margaret Perkins of that city, a young lady who attended Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, Va., and whom Bill met going to Bermuda 5 years ago Priscilla Chamberlin, of Winchester, Mass., became Mrs. Stan Neill in Winchester June 7 Irwin K. Besse was wedded to Mary Gadsby April 13 in a "small, quiet wedding" at Lawrence, Mass. Their new home is in Beverly, and Ike is assistant manager of Mutual Fire's Inspection & Rating Bureau, in Salem Barbara Scott Taggart, of Melrose, Mass., and Chandler School, became the bride of Frank Spain on June 14 in Melrose.
On August 10, in Elizabeth, N. J., Dr. Harold Green was married to Pauline Stewart Strasberg, of Humboldt, Tenn. The bride is a graduate of Loew's Secretarial School, and this first piece of news we have ever had about Harold Green adds that he secured his medical degree at Kansas University of Physicians & Surgeons, is now interning in a New York City hospital.
Orv Dryfoos and Marian Sulzberger were married July 8, and went to California for their wedding trip. Mrs. Dryfoos, who attended Rosemary School, Lenox School and the Froebel League, is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hays Sulzberger, and a granddaughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Adolph S. Ochs. New Yorkers and many others will recognize these names as those of the present and former publishers of the New York Times. Impending is the marriage of Virginia Clark and Lincoln Daniels some time during September and somewhere in the neighborhood of New York.
New Faces Department this time consists of the recent arrival (September 6) of David Compton to the Dick Comptons, with all parties doing splendidly. .. .and of Sheila Gordon Schuyler to the Dan Schuylers on the 17 th of June.
Your scribe can report an extremely enjoyable summer. Housed in a pea-green waterfront cottage on Long Island's ocean shore were Brabbee, Gruen, Hulsart and the writer, aided and considerably abetted by an Austrian housekeeper named Mollie. Brabbee worried himself down to a shadow during July devising means of meeting the blonde next door (there always seems to be one, doesn't there?) who wouldn't respond to a mere hello, only to discover when he had his perfect plan completed that she had a husband, who showed up for August. Hulsart, who has been working patiently for a tan since before Memorial Day, is still the approximate color of Bond Bread. Gruen, without whom we would seldom have gotten up for work, eaten over week-ends, or even made the perilous 100-yard trip to the surf, leaves tomorrow for a Colorado vacation trip and moves back to Greenwich Village after that.
Those many visiting firemen of our own and other classes to whom the words go Fifth Avenue are almost legendary will be interested to know that this Dartmouth Club annex of seven years' standing has broken up. Hedges, pivot man from start to finish, is currently leading a traveling existence half in, half out of New York, and plans to center the home part of it around the Dartmouth Club proper. Gruen, the only other Dartmouth member of the household during the past year or so, is taking different quarters in the same general neighborhood.
During the summer the Pea Green House on the shore was privileged to be host to a few of the names which belong in this column. Van Thorne and wife occupied a cottage on the same street during August. Hedges joined us at vacation times and over a few week-ends. Jeff Jackson made a fourth for tennis many times be- fore Hulsart regained his athletic touch. There were Scherman, Silverman, Daniels, Morton and Gibson. From way back at summer's start we recall Ed Marshall, who was just beginning his new job selling for Kimberly Clark. And Lee Eggleston, just about to move over to Jersey to be nearer his P.A.X. sales territory.
But there are other pieces of informa- tion from greater distances: Bill Goergen is with the Mcßride Clinic, Oklahoma City, as resident physician Bridgeport now claims Bill Deßiemer, lawyer with the "DuPont Legal Division" of the Remington Arms Co..... Dan Colesworthy is listed with the Alcoa Steamship Co., but the address is the same as that of the Ocean, Dominion S. S. Corp., with which we used to place him Bob Griffin's job is with the Grama tan National Bank & Trust Co., Bronxville Sid Cohen is with the Neurological Unit of Boston City Hospital. ... .The appointment of Seymour Dunn as assistant professor of political science was announced in August by Hobart and William Smith Colleges Bill Hartman is back from Mexico for a short check-in to headquarters.
News of a military nature brings up Corporal William S. Carr, who was one of two enlisted men at Fort Bragg's 39th Infantry chosen for the Infantry Officers Training School at Fort Benning, Ga. Bill, who before the Army was a real estate salesman for the Royal B. Curtiss Co., will be made a second lieutenant after a 3 months' course Lt. John Fish is in the medical division at the same Fort Bragg. .... Ensign Earl Draper is a Ground Officer at the Aviation Base in Glenview, Ill. ... .Jim Ballard can be found with the U. S.

Well, before the next one of these things comes around, we'll be seeing a good many of you near one portal or another.
