1931*

As we closed our last column we made mention of the fact that Red Rolfe was going to be playing in the World Series. Since that column went to press the old redhead has done himself proud. Probably by now every one of you has read of the swell job he did in the five games against the Dodgers and we would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to Red due to the fact that he entered the Series out of a sick bed and gave a marvelous account of himself. Congratulations, Red, from all of us—and don't spend all your money in the same place.

Class Dues have been coming in in fine shape, and we have only one little request and that is, if you have a moment when you send your check, pen a little note along with it. It won't take long and it will bring us up to date on what you are doing.

Our various news services tell us of the marriage of Jean O'Neil to Lee Andrews. Jean comes from Altoona, Pa., and was married to Lee at Miami Beach. They are making their home at siai Tunlaw Rd., N. W., Washington, D. C.

Another item of '31 in the news appeared in the Cincinnati Times-Star with a fine picture of Professor George N. Stevens and an article about his joining the faculty of the University of Cincinnati College of Law, holding the rank of visiting assistant professor of law. For the past five years George has been on the staff of the University of Louisville Law School, and during the summer he was on the faculty at the Ohio State University. He is a member of the Kentucky, New York State and American Bar Association, and in addition to receiving his legal training at Cornell, he also took post-graduate instruction at the University of Michigan. There is a fellow who never has stopped studying. It looks to me as though any of you fellows who want to know how to cut down on your income tax should let George do it. Congratulations, George, on your new appointment.

With the world in a turmoil, there seems to have been increased activity in our own group, with probably the largest list of changes in address we have had in some time. A lot of these are changes in home address, but many more are to new locations and new jobs. The longest jump shows Bob Hale, formerly in the credit department of the Graybar Electric Company in Chicago, setting himself up as a cattle raiser in Elgin, Arizona. Sounds like that is really getting out into the wide open spaces.

Charlie Vetter has jumped from the securities firm of Belden & Company on Wall Street to the American Airlines office in East Boston.

Andy Edson, apparently tired of staying cooped up in a movie house, has left his work at Trans-Lux Theatres and has taken over as the manager for the Yorkville Nurseries, York Avenue at 89th Street, New York City.

Freddy Burkhardt has stepped up from the manager of the record department to the manager of retail sales for G. Schirmer & Company. Freddy is living in Bronxville.

Ned Rosen has found the opportunity he has been looking for for some time and has given up his work with the insurance brokerage business to become associated with the Central Brewing Company in Jersey City, N. J. You should have had that job before Reunion, Ned. We might have given you a nice order.

Jake Marcy, about whom we have heard very little and whose large frame we missed at Reunion, is now a salesman with the Hope Rubber Company in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. He was formerly associated with the United States Rubber Company as credit manager in Gardiner, Maine.

Speaking of rubber companies, we have a change of address for Freddy Tetzlaff who was formerly an assistant superintendent for the United States Rubber in Providence. His new address is Newtown, Bucks Co., Pa. What's the story, Fred?

Art Lull, formerly a loan teller in the South Texas Commercial National Bank, has now been placed in charge of personnel at the Reception Center, Fort Sam Houston, Texas.

Johnny Martin—the fellow who reminded somebody at Reunion of Abe Lincoln (and he was really serious too, John!) —has moved back to the hubbub of Washington to be the legal chief of industrial and agricultural machinery at the office of Price Administration & Civilian Supply. Johnny was formerly in the securities division in the Department of Commerce in Ohio. Nine out of ten times we bless these lengthy Washington titles, but I must say that when we are short of material for the column, they come in handy.

Along about last spring we heard a lot about the fellows in our gang who had been inducted in the Army and I imagine most of us have taken for granted that, since they are over 28, they will probably all be out pretty soon. We got a fine letter from Ernie Moore in which Army life seems to have taken to him and it looks as though he is going places. Beginning the sixth of October Ernie's address will be: Corporal Ernest H. Moore, c/o Officer Candidate School, The Cavalry School, Ft. Riley, Kansas. On that date they are starting the second Officer Candidate School since the first World War and the first to which selectees have been admitted. Ernie was made Number One appointee from both enlisted men and selectees from the 11th Cavalry, which is really something. The course lasts for three months during which time four years of military training will be thrown at him and report has it lhat the toughest part of the whole course is the West Point-like regimentation of the candidates. Before leaving California to report to his new assignment, Ernie spent some time with Cliff Power and his fiancee, Lydia Frazier, and reports that Cliff is now with the Consolidated Aircraft in San Diego. He also saw Vance and Lib Dickerman in San Diego where Vance is the manager of the Cuyamaca Club. Thanks, Ernie, for the letter, and drop us a note after you start your new work. It ought to be mighty

interesting, so let us in on it. That's all the news that is fit to print for now. Send us a check for the Dues and drop us a note about yourself.
