1938*
After staring for the better part of an hour at three measley scraps of paper, plus a rather barren list of address changes, which, gentlemen, constitute our dope fund for the month, let me take a crack at the new year while the idea is sitting be- side me. It's tough enough to round up information every month. But now we're forced to cope with a barrage of guest authors who haven't cultivated the knack of reading between the lines. Plans are under way to meet this situation but until such time as a more permanent system of regional new collecting can be devised, just fire the stuff at Clearing House Von P who is the only man who knows what's going on. The rest of us just work here!
VITAL STATISTICS
(I have seen enough of the ways of that strange breed who lives under the eaves of Parkhurst to know that the Big Black Pencil moves from the bottom up!)
A letter from Hal Berman (presumptious chap!) who is trying to peddle "advice to the Lovelorn" after two months in the bonds. He even ends with a little quatrain which he dashed off and if that isn't a sure fire tip, then may the ponies never run again. But one Ruth Carol Harlow, of Northampton, Mass. (Smith '37), a cousin of King Birge, and more recently teaching English at Northfield Seminary, made her presence felt despite the mustiness of Yale Law libraries, and became Mrs. Harold J. Berman on June 10. They are living at 1 Lynwood Place, New Haven Dick Schubart was married on May 17 to Susan Elizabeth Houser. Sue was a fellow graduate student at Columbia, working in the Philosophy Department with Dick. Having had lunch with them over a year ago, and not quite getting the picture at that time, I'm a little hazy on additional details. They are living at 80 118th St., Kew Gardens, L. 1., N. Y Bob Hallock, whose beaming face is now a fixture on Worcester's main drag, where one by one the citizenry are becoming convinced that the only sensible thing to do is "Insure with Hallock," was married to Mary Helen McCord on June 28 Jake Carey and Patty Brooks, married on September 10, with any further details lacking at the moment. The same for Charlie Sweeney and Eliza- beth Harriman who were married in Providence on May 10.
Fred Pickering now at Devens with the 101 st Cavalry announced his engagement to Mary Elise Murdock of Middlebury, Vt., via Greenwich Academy,- Garrison Forest School, and what looks like, Gunston Hall. I guess that should take a quick shift the other way around, but that just proves the original thesis—all guest writers are hacks! Also a note re. Vogue's gift to all brassiere advertisers—one J. Clarke Mattimore— which might be classified under Marriages Pending. No further data, but when last seen struggling into the Dartmouth Club after a flying trip to LaGuardia Field, the symptoms seemed acute enough to warrant a mention.
HEADS OR TAILS
Several week-ends spent this summer at the New Hampshire manor house of John Emerson. The Scoop is now the owner of 100 odd acres of New England farm and a house which dates back to the 1700's. Here's my vote for the upper pasture as an admirable spot for beer and skittles come the Fifth. That is, if somebody will mow the damn thing so that an ankle has at least a fighting chance. In attendance at several soirees: Sgt. Larry Hull, up from Devens and giving a somewhat bemused exhibition of the latest USA scouting technique ably assisted by Charlie Wiggin who is now president of the Camp Edwards Dartmouth Club; Parker Brown ell and wife, he recuperating from a tussle with the Massachusetts bar exams; Charlie and Helen Keyes, then "at liberty" but now living at 208 East 84th St., New York City, where Charlie is working in the sales department of the Hazen Paper Co. of Holyoke, plus various odds of ends of '37's and '39's.

News of Mouse Hallett's death reached Hanover during the Secretaries meeting this June and to the five of us who were there, Hanover made it strike even closer to home. A more detailed account appears in the Necrology section.
These notes could have some claim to distinction of being the only ones which were ever written directly on the linotype machine, but I'm having a hard enough time trying to keep track of what comes out of those mechanical fly-swatters, much less trying to run one. Back at you, Baron —and what's this about automobile accidents?
