1935*

ALTARATIONS. ...

Our middle-aisle department seems to have been neglected a bit of late, but we'll try to bring you up to date. The N. Y.Times advises us that Mr. and Mrs. Victor H. Elsas, of New Orleans, have announced the engagement of their daughter, Miss Aline Claire Elsas, to Howard A. Kaiser; further word from the groom-to-be:

"Expect to graduate October 21 from USNR Mid- shipman's School, N. Y., with about 28 other Dart- mouth lads. Mac Weinberg and I are the old men of the group,, most of the rest coming from '4O, '4l. Plan to be married .... ten minutes after gradua- tion. Wish me luck."

Announcement is made by Mr. and Mrs. T. C. McCarthy, of West Roxbury, Mass., of the marriage of their daughter Marjorie to Lt. John T. Donahue, USA, of Newton. We don't know the exact date, but it was near the end of August.

On August 18th, Elizabeth Sydney Kas- tan, of Woodmere, N. Y., became the bride of David J. Levy Jr., who was with us freshman year, later graduating from Ann Arbor. He is with L. Bamburger in New- Jersey, and the couple will live in New York City.

Dr. Forney Winner, who took his pre- med with our class before finishing at Tem- ple, and Miss Laura Hill were married June 20th, and are residing in Philadel- phia.

Our friend Ed Neff, who has left a news- paper career in Washington to serve with the Navy as Ensign Edwin DeFrees Neff, USNR, was married July 2nd, in Cul- peper, Va., to Alice Elizabeth Fitzhugh. His first duty assignment put him in Buffalo.

Back in June there were several other weddings, hitherto unrecorded:

Miss Isabel Holly Ross, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Alcorn Ross of Brooklyn, became the bride of Ernest MacLoughlin Draper, of Saratoga Springs. The bride was graduated from Swarthmore in 1937, and received her Master's degree from Columbia Teachers College in 1941. Mr. Draper is now con- nected with the Dept. of Justice in Washington.

Miss Katherine C. Lee, daughter of Commander Robert C. Lee and Mrs. Lee, of Brooklyn and Far Hills, N. J., was married on June 20th to Lt. Al-bert J. Keenan, Jr., U.S.A. The bride is a member of the Jr. League, attended Packer and the College of Wm. and Mary. She is a granddaughter of former United States Senator William M. Calder and of the late William A. Lee, former Justice of the Su- preme Court of Idaho. Her father, on special duty with the Navy, was executive vice-president of Moore-McCormack Lines. Lt. Keenan was admitted to the N. Y. Bar in 1938. Bill McMullen and MarshFrost were among the ushers.

We don't know just when Jonathan Harvey and Adele Marie Letcher, of Glen Rock, N. J., were married, but they were due to return from their Sea Island wedding trip on June 19th to make their home at 86 Ayers Court, West Englewood, N. J. The bride graduated from Sweetbriar, and the groom is still with Haskins & Sells, accountants, in New York.

Nor do we have the date of the Art Somers' mar- riage to Thelma Alda Jones, daughter of William E. Jones of Medford, but we do know that ReyAloulton came down from Portland, Me., and DonCotton came over from Greenfield, Mass., to usher, and that the groom was then stationed at Fort Totten, N. Y.

WHIRLIGIG. .. .

AI Dodd has, since June, been a field assistant in the casualty department of the Travelers Insurance office in Bridgeport, which should be nice pickings: Friar Nar-amore's peregrinations and vagaries would keep one very well occupied and highly amused from any sort of a casualty angle.

Brother Dick Lauterbach reporting: "Announcing the birth of a second daughter, Ann March, born 9-28-42. Have a 26-month-old daugh- ter, Jennifer Wardwell.

"Am now U. S. News Editor of LIFE, having reached that goal via sports, civilian defense and politics; none of it seems very important now com- pared to epics like Stalingrad, Dieppe or the Second Front ( ?)."

And Art Fisher: "I feel like the last man in civvies when I walk down Broadway. However, I enlisted in the SignalCorps last July and since then have been studying nights and working the steel business during the day. By February, Uncle Sam will think me ready for heavy duty—l hope."

Harry Ackerman: "Supervisor of Radio Production for Young & Rubicam, New York. Also director of the KATE SMITH HOUR. Also Chairman of the War Radio Committee attached to War Advertising Council. Living in N. Y., 444 East 52nd St."

And a word from your old Uncle Reg:

"Hi Gilly, I'm down in Washington, an Ensign in the Navy Incentive Division, helping to stimu- late workers in war plants to win Navy E's. Been here since Sept. 18; Babs is still in Boston Spent last Sunday at Lou Cole's house in Arlington, visiting him, his wife, and 2 kids. Also Sj Millstein has left Harvard and been down here for several weeks. Attended a send-off party for Mac McCarty —he joined the Marines as a Combat Correspond- ent and is now at Parris Island. Party was at TomLane's house. I'm working in the $5,000,000 Larz Anderson Mansion (now a Navy Bldg.) surrounded with priceless works of art and secret stairways."

And a bucolic note from your old ski captain, Sel Hannah:

"No picture—armed only with potato hook and pitchfork "
