1934
Having recently completed the story about Harry Pulham, Esquire, we were amused, while preparing this offering, by a consciousness of Mr. Marquand's overtones, and couldn't help but feel the sketchiness and complacent brevity of the squibs presented below. We suggest, just for the fun of it, that as you read through these 1500 words of disjointed copy, you take an occasional look between the lines and perhaps wonder what-all is really happening to Jack Jones '34 who is doing well in West Overshoe's ingot business.
From our own personal scurryingsaround we can report a few local morsels before dipping into the mailbag. 1934, together with '35 and '36, staged an excellent New York party not so many weeks ago at the Dartmouth Club, the success of which augurs more to come, maybe involving '34 alone next time The N. Y. first-Wednesday dinners still go on without a break (there's been one almost every month since graduation), attracting groups ranging from a dozen to thirty A recent one caught Bill Mock in New York for the day and put him on the platform for an hour's pumping about Finland, France and his other late ambulance-driving habitats
Brabbee is with the Kimsul division of Kimberly Clark, selling Danzig is pretty active nights in Boy Scout and Boys' Club activities, but did manage to break it up last month for a Caribbean cruise.
As did the writer in early February, just before changing assignments from Life to Fortune We know a lot of reasons for draft deferments, but to avoid retaliation we won't tell Bud Hall has obtained a leave of absence from the Atlas Corporation, and is devoting full time to the National Defense Alliance, a group of business men dedicated to the preservation of democracy A 1 Hewitt is on another soap opera, and won a quarter from Scherman the other night by repeating correctly the entire roster of Time magazine's editors, a feat which he had to perform nightly in last season's Saroyan play Joe Lehmann is moving to Silvermine (Conn.) for the warmer weather Silverman early in the year moved over to the Raymond Spector Cos. (advertising), where he bangs out radio commercials.
A not too recent communication from Knibbs in Montpelier contains some not too recent news from the midwestern sector, and we quote.... "Bill Adams is in the Chicago office of J. Walter Thompson, writing radio advertising for the Northern Trust Co. account and several special promotional jobs, and living in Evanston Bob King is selling for Fred S. James & Co., one of Chicago's largest insurance brokers. Bob has been doing office management for them but decided he wanted to get outside." Knibbs got the group together out there and showed the reunion movies to the Messrs. Hicks, Wilmot, Fraser, Wildman, DeRiemer, Babe Shea, Bob King, Fogarty, Laurie Herman, Hayes and Veazie Swede Lindstrom was building a house in Barrington Buz Hartman has been knocked off his feet by an infection Hicks has left Spiegel's and is working with his family in the scrap metal business, having a lot of fun being outside after six years in an office Fraser is with his uncle manufacturing barrels. Their plant is hard by the stockyards, and when the wind is right Thor says the atmosphere gets a little "sharp.". . . .Wildman is running his father's steel plate factory DeRiemer is in the legal claims department of a casualty company Fogarty is sporting some very becoming whiskers Stangle spends his time on the road training Aetna's men in various Illinois cities.
Sey Dunn writes from Iowa U. that "I will be here until late in May, after that maybe in the Army. I spend about half my time on the road visiting ten high schools in eastern lowa, supervising the use of some classroom stuff that is supposed to make kids think. If I am not already in the traveling salesmen category I am darn near it."

Engel is co-author of an article in the Journal of the A.M.A. called "Treatment of Addison's Disease with Desocycorticosterone Acetate." In our erudite way we offer none of the usual layman's gags to supplement these mouthings, being awed beyond contemplation The March issue of the New Mexico Alumnis (what kind of a word is that?) contains "Faculty Participate in Defense" by Jack Feth, which for some reason doesn't give us abdominal rumblings like these others.
