1933
You have read your booklet in praise of President Hopkins which was issued in connection with the Alumni Fund. Franklin Roosevelt, h'2g, the third term President lauded our twenty-fifth term President. Cordell Hull, h'4o contributed some complimentary remarks. Kenneth Roberts, h'34, represented the arty boys with a somewhat emotional plug for Prexy. You will remember that there were others, among them a man named Wiklie or Wikkie or something who appeared to have had no connection with the college.
The point that we wish to make is thisthe whole thing is a friendly, alumni matter and there is no reason in the world why you shouldn't make a laudatory gesture in honor of the occasion as well as the big boys whose names look so well in print. Of course, it might be well to add that Parkhurst Hall is pretty well choked up with testimonial statements at the present time and, if it is all the same to you, we'd prefer to have your testimonial in the form of legal tender. It's the spirit with which it's given that counts.
ODOR ABSORBERS
How are you fixed for odor absorbers? The printed message on the back of a calling card which Bud Madden handed us in the lobby of the Hotel Elton in Waterbury several months ago indicates that he and his company are yearning to absorb your odors. The company is the W. B. Connor Engineering Corporation, 114 E. 32nd St., New York. Bud looks much as he did when his famous profile wowed the Hanover audiences in his student days. He was married on Nov. 25, 1938 to Anne Naylon. They have one daughter, Patricia Anne, who was born on May 31, 1940. At the time of our meeting, Mr. Madden was interested primarily in cashing a check and he called us because he realized that we might have access to the closets of the mighty. The check was cashed.
We had the pleasure of watching BobWhite play badminton during the winter. He is a Class A player in this state and on the evening we refer to he extended the State Champion of his Class to extra games. As you can imagine of one engaged in such strenuous pursuits, Bro. White is in excelled condition and stated, when questioned, that he was getting his body in shape for Uncle Sam.
Elliot (F.8.1.) Blakesley sends on the following cautious resume of conditions in Chicago:
"Just to prove that I have not been outdone by Messrs. Hicks, Ripley and Goldthwait for happy events occurring during the month of February, I am happy to announce the arrival on February 22, 1941 of our own Jeanne Ellen. Even if she is not the Carnival Queen in 1961, as we fully expect, she will let her presence be known if she carries on as at present.
"Although I have been in Chicago now for some time, I regret to say I have just not had time or opportunity to attend any of the numerous Dartmouth functions here. Among '33er« occasionally and recently seen are Bob Ellis, in the insurance business, John Thompson, with the Pepperell Cos. and Bob Woodcock, with Marshall Field."
By an unusual coincidence another letter dated the same day as the one from Elliot came from Tris Metcalfe telling of the birth on the same day as the Blakesley baby of Susan Polly Metcalfe. Tris says: "For slightly more than a year I have been living in Springfield, Mass. and working for the National Carbon Co. My territory of central and western Mass., all of Vermont and northern New York keeps me on the go [went 30,000 miles in the year selling Eveready flashlights and Prestone anti-freeze (don't notice the plugEd note)].
"I haven't seen Oesterheld for quite some time now. The last I heard, he was in some Army camp in Virginia working hard for promotion to Captain. As a veteran of 6 summers in C.M.T.C. Camps he was called up about the first of January.
"Since White River is part of my territory, I get back to Hanover much more often than when I lived in New York."
"We live at 90 Maple Street in Springfield."
Here's what the Bridgeport Life says about it: "Mrs. Hester Gaines of Greenfield, Massachusetts, announces the betrothal of her daughter, Miss Evelyn Gaines, to Dr. Bernard Poland Cunningham, of Rochester, Minnesota, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Cunningham of Center Street. Since her graduation from Mount Holyoke College, Miss Gaines has been associated with the endocrinology department at the Mayo Clinic where Dr. Cunningham practices. Dr. Cunningham is a graduate of the New York University School of Medicine."

Another barrister, Willia?n F. DowlingJr. of Utica, New York made headlines in the U tica and Syracuse papers by enlisting in the United States Army. Mr. Dowling, who had recently opened his own office in U tica, was assigned to the job as chief filing clerk at the First Military Area Headquarters.
