1935*

Our Brother Monagan,'Keeper of theKeys for the Class of '33, has recently said that writing this column is no fun, that it demands constancy and concentration, that it demands fertility and industry, and that

it demands courage and daring. Our Brother Dwyer, Class Custodian for '34, has told us that his requirements include perspicacity, persistency, and a flare for paronomasia.... and then signs himself "your fellow Class Meatball."

We, bold courageous fertile exponent of freedom of the press that we are,....we niake few claims. Being no gibberish goliath. no succulent Superman, we alone try to exemplify and practice restraint. Repressed and downcast as we often are, we lie awake nights reciting lines from Invictus and Polonius' Advice to Laertes to keep our courage up and our standards high; the presses must roll and the search for truth must go on. Sonnez le Tocsin!

Take this letter from MORTIMER MIDDLEMASS for example. In the first place, you can imagine how long it's been since we've heard from Mortimer. Any other editor would scrap such foolscap on the basis of his aloofness alone; not us though, we'll print anything we can get our hands, eye, or mind on these days. The fact that Mortimer isn't listed with our class any longer didn't stop us either. We must go on. .. . come hell. .. .come high water. .. .come, Mortimer, here you go:

"Dear GILLY: ... .and I recently passed the bar (was hurrying on to a place where the stuff is free—ha, ha) and am now practising law here in Middletown with the firm of Dilley, Dally, Doolittle and Stahl. I am not one to brag, but I am probably the only man in '35 to have a son at Harvard. Yes, our littlest son, dear little Millstone, is there.... in the museum. .. .in a bottle .... he had two heads, you see.

"I also have a wife, Mathilda... .she's not much on looks, but, oh boy, can she .... cook. And that brings up another point, Gilly, Mathilda reads the ALUMNI MAGAZINE regularly and religiously (the little agnostic), and she wants me to ask you if you or Mr. Editor Hayward or Mr. President Hopkins won't please devote at least part of the journal to recipes, dresspatterns, hints to housewives, and so on. Then too, Gilly, I know for a fact that little Millennium would appreciate some crossword puzzles, some model airplane diagrams, and some funnies, now that he reads it too. Millennium is certainly a cut-up already, like father like son you know. He says he's going to go to Yale, just to get my goat; but I tell him Navy is the one with a goat. . . .ha, ha.

"Please send address of TERRY TOPLIFF and of GOOSE GILE when you write.

Your old prison pal,

MORTIMER MIDDLEMASS."

While we're at it may we add that any similarity between Mortimer's letter and the letters of any persons, living or dead, is not coincidental. His has its counterpart in many we've seen, albeit the excentricities are somewhat exaggerated. Our thanks to Mortimer, our sympathy to little Millennium, and to Mathilda our combined recipe-of-the-month and homemakers' hint: viz., put a little mustard on the fat part of lamb-chops before you broil them,.... the flavor increases no end. A Yale friend did a trick to our beer with an egg last night, but unfortunately the results aren't (as yet) worth reporting. All kidding aside, the recent dearth of news appalls us.

FORT DIX REPORTING .... BUD FRASER recently reduced to writing some pertinent observations on life in camp shortly after his arrival. "... .Uncle Sam seemed to think me a pretty healthy lad so off we went and here I am with my five tent mates in this winterized affair. It's really not bad with the weather mild (though muddy)—and I can pronounce all the names of my cronies by this time.

"This is what's called the Recruit Receiving Center where everyone lands at first and spends his period of quarantine during which time shots for practically everything are given and classification is supposed to take place. The I. Q. test can best be described as long. We are also interviews where capabilities, background, etc., are obtained and from it all there should be a particular spot where each man will do his country the most good. My guess is that most of these boys will end up in the good old infantry. So far they haven't been impatient for my services in the Air Corps, but of course it's hardly dark and sometimes it takes time for real talent to manifest itself.

"The food has improved some since arrival—and there was room for it. But the cleaning of dishes is the interesting part. We eat from army field equipment, which of course is made up of a folding plate, knife, fork, spoon and cup. Food served in this arrangement ends up being stew even though coming originally from separate vats. But to the cleaning—each man does his own—there are four tubs in a row, the first for the scrapings, the second filled with water with a goodly dose of soap, the third containing a lesser amount of the same, and the fourth holding hot water for rinsing. A fire being under the last three it's good policy to keep one's fingers out. The whole company files past these tubs swishing their equipment in each in passing; needless to say towards the end the water becomes fairly unattractive, especially when some of the boys are just getting to understand that the first tub is for the garbage. At any rate I was one of the very last to go through at lunch this noon and by that time it was a most discouraging prospect. And so I said to the attendant, while dipping, 'Don't you ever change this water? It's terrible.' Said he proudly, 'Why sure, there's fresh at every meal.' That polished me off but I will say this much for the system, the complexion of the stuff does change after the routine." In a later letter BUD writes: "Yep, still breathing. At present I'm assigned to the Reception Center where my experiences are about as military as life in a FannyFarmer Candy store. My military occupa- tions for the day now stop at bed making in the morning, and the rest of the day is spent in shuffling papers and records pertaining to the newly inducted soldiers, who after two or three days here go to permanent units situated anywhere from Ft. Sam Houston, Texas, to Pine Camp, New York." And so will it be for a good many of us who, lacking the dependency 0f Mathildas and Millenniums, will be joining up in one branch or another.

WHIRLIGIG ....BUD O'BRIEN was up for Carnival. .. .AS were ED KEENE, CY MILLSTEIN, and SEL HANNAH. . . .the latter as a guest of the D.O.C.

BOB HAGE postal-cards us a picture of the Iglesia del Obispado down near Monterey, Mexico, where he is evidently fortifying himself for the coming Alumni Fund campaign (nice subtle plug, that)....

Miss Frances Heath and ROLLY KENDALL were married January 24th up in Newport, N. H., where said groom is an administrative assistant in the U. S. Forest Service.

BARRISTER Headlines in our alert contemporary, the Bristol (Conn.) Press, herald us with the news that EMIL PETKE, hereinafter referred to as Petke petite, has passed the Conn. Bar Exams, after studying law at Hartford Law School

FAY ALLEN reports arrival at Barre City Hospital of a son, John Selden, on January 12th; both will reside in Chelsea, Vt., where said proud father is Deputy Clerk of Orange County and an attorney with the form of Wilson & Keyser.

Via the Cleveland Plain Dealer, local competitor of your correspondent, we learn that JIM and BETTY HUGHES have a daughter born late in February.

HUNT HARRISON, recently moved to 3407 Dellwood Rd., Cleveland Heights, from the hinterlands of Michigan known as Detroit, tells us that his brother CHICK HARRISON was married last month to Miss Joan Cook of Greenwich, Conn., the ceremony taking place at the Little Church Around theCorner, and that Lt. Harrison and his bride are now at Ft. Ethan Allen, Burlington, Vt.

SPINGARNING

JERRY SPINGARN writes of his connection with the law firm of Karelsen & Karelsen. 230 Park Ave., N. Y. C., adding: "Ran into 808 FERRY at Criminal Courts Building lately. He claimed he was there on jury duty. Naturally I did not inquire too closely."

Taking Spingarn's word is one thing, knowing Ferry is another; adding the two together, we're going to forget all about it and hustle ourselves over into Pennsylvania for some skiing. Track!
