1933*
The College has officially decided that there will be no formal Reunions this year. It has been suggested that there are two possible alternatives. One is to hold a small, informal Reunion in Hanover for as many as are in the neighborhood next Spring. The other is to schedule an informal get-together at the same time, but at a more central point—Boston, New York or a Manhattan Transfer. All the formal Reunions which would normally be held during the continuance of the War will be postponed until the end of hostilities and will then all be held at one time in one glorious bacchanal.
Meanwhile, the responsibility for making recommendations rests with Chairman Bill Dewey of the Reunion committee and his co-workers, Forrie Branch and GeorgeTheriault.
CLASS DINNER
Hal Mackey writes that the first Class Dinner of the year was held at the Dartmouth Club on October sBth. Seven members of the Class were on hand, reading from left to right: Rugen, Phinney, Goldberg, Cunningham, Black, Celano, Mackey. It was decided to hold a Dinner every month and Black and Celano have been appointed to make arrangements.
It is important for Class solidarity that such dinners be held as frequently as possible. The opportunities to see each other are infrequent, but with regular, organized functions, there is an excuse for a substantial number of 1933 men to be in the same building at the same time. Our best wishes to the new committee.
(Worthington, Reeves at al should take notice of this item and prepare to follow suit in the Capitol.)
Members of this Class will view with alarm the item in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE stating that Dr. William Carpenter McCarty has been appointed to the Faculty of the Dartmouth Medical School and to the Staff of the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital. While we are prepared to admit that 'the Crooner' has mellowed with age, nevertheless we fear for the security of the hospital and the sanity of the school if he should happen to walk by the operating room and get a whiff of alcohol. The old spring madness might return, the broken voiced crooning might start and the staid Professor might streak to his car and head wildly for Joe Pilver's. But not a word of this to his students in radiology.
Bob Estes has been promoted from first lieutenant to captain in the Procurement Section of the Chemical Warfare Service. He is stationed in New York City. Before the War he was with the law firm of Donovan, Leisure and Lombard.
Mr. and Mrs. Ernest White of Bronxville have announced the engagement of their daughter, Margaret, to Lieut. William Noyes McKee. Lieut McKee is on a leave of absence from the Shell Oil Co. He is the holder of a master's degree from Columbia.
Announcement has been made of the marriage of Marjorie Hunter of Mannington, W. Va., to Sergt. Augustus F. Waldenburg Jr. on October 18th in Washington. The bridegroom is at present stationed at Fort George Meade in Maryland.
The Lowell Sun and Citizen-Leader of October 5th carried a picture of a bridal couple descending the steps of the Immaculate Conception Church. The bride was radiant and the bridegroom, in the uniform of an Army corporal wore a smug smile. She was Ramona Home of Lowell. He was Corp. Cornelius J. Corcoran Jr., of Lawrence, a former newspaper man, now stationed in the Public Relations Office at Camp Edwards, Mass.
After a near decade of silence we received the following welcome biographical sketch from George Waters: ".... After leaving Hanover I got a degree from the Detroit College of Law in 1937. I survived the lean years by getting appointed Friend of the Court which meant that I looked after alimony problems and the custody of minor children in divorce cases.
"When the international situation got tough, I decided that I'd better start closing shop .... then on March 28th I stopped and exchanged vows with Margaret Lassen. On April 14th I found myself at Fort Carter. After a rugged summer as an infantryman, I was transferred to Regimental H. Q. where I am now working on Court Martial cases. I have made application for Officer Candidate School."
"We arrived at Fort Lewis on September 15th. It is really beautiful here—about 15 miles from Tacoma and 45 from Seattle. After reading the list of men in the services, I am proud of our Class. I hope there won't be too many missing when we have our 15th. (I've given up hope for the Tenth.)"
George adds that he has heard several times from Tom Hall who is selling insurance in Dayton; that Charlie Hall is a civilian instructor at Wright Field. George's address is: Service Co., 136th Inf., APO No. 33, Ft. Lewis, Washington.
Hal Smith is assistant to the Disbursing Officer of the Fifth Naval District. His address is 404 Battersea Road, Norfolk, Va. He saw Bill Starr recently. Bill is at the Air Station.
