1935
Complying with regulations issued from the office of Byron Price, Director of Censorship in Washington, this column will refrain for the duration from making definite statements about the locale of any members of the class now in uniform, when such statements would indicate movements of troops or other information helpful to the enemy.
We can tell you, however, as we now do, that Lt. Bob Quimby is doing medical duty at the Submarine Base at New London,
.... that Lt. John Jewett is doing ditto somewhere overseas, and we have his address and will send it to any '35-er writing in to ask for same, that Seymour Millstein is now with the Naval Intelligence, where his knowledge of conditions in the land of the rising (but soon to set) sun based on his residence there in the interim since graduation should prove valuable, .... that George McKearin is now in the Army, to which point his mail will be forwarded from 21 High St., Hoosick Falls, N. Y.,. .. .and that Art Somers is with the Headquarters Battery at Fort Totten, New York.
CLASS SOMNILOQUIST ....Bobb Chaney, the quiet dignified lad out Minneapolis way who keeps the keys to the class coffers and would just love to hear from any who haven't anted-up recently, sends us a letter from Dick Sleep, who has (along with some 300-odd others of you, for which our thanks). We haven't had much in the way of definite data on old Somnus, and its our guess that several lengthy yawns were stifled while he let fly with the following:
"The Thanksgiving Turkey brought us a 7 lb., QS/4 02.* daughter, to be known hereafter as Sally Sleep, the glamour girl. Joann and the baby are fine, and the father has finally sobered up (Note: this was written November 24) enough to find out he was a nervous wreck. Left Halsey Stuart and the bond business in March to go with The Lehon Cos., Chicago, manufacturers of Mule-Hide Roofing, and am now living in Madison selling the lumber dealers of south-west and central Wisconsin. See very few Dartmouth fellows up here in the wilds, although Van Antwerpen stopped over for a few beers after one of the Wisconsin games this fall and he is plenty wild. Anyone stopping through Madison is cordially invited to come over and visit the Aluminum Room (in the basement) and have a few over the new bar. The address is 720 South Dickinson St., Madison, Wisconsin, on the shores of Lake Monona. Boy, you guys certainly murdered our fighting Badgers up there. Why don't you get some of those giants to go to Dartmouth or can't they read and write?"
SHORT ORDER OF FATTED CALF DEPT Back into the fold, like the proverbial prodigal son, comes Dick Meyers filling the void of five years' silence with this (also viaChaney):
"You might be honored, questionably or not, in the fact that this is the first letter I've had a chance to get off to anyone in the class since my arrival down here in the great Southwest some years ago. As a result, a lot might be said about what has happened, but suffice it to say that I am married and the proud papa of two boys, one just now six months old. I have been traveling down here for a manufacturer of cellophane and kindred cellulose products, Sylvania Industrial Corp., covering the states of Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico which means a lot of driving.
"Personally I think it is great country down here, and the only fault I have to find is that the few alumni are so widely scattered that you never see any of them. The only other '3ser I know of in Texas is Cam Duncan, but he is 'way down in South Texas managing a ranch. That and the fact that one never sees a write-up of Dartmouth games remain as the two chief drawbacks."
The above was written from a new address: 4516 Potomac, Dallas, Texas.
NEW RECRUITS. ...
"Mr. and Mrs. Clyde D. Wagoner, of Ardsley Road, Schenectady, announce the engagement of their daughter, Miss Barbara Wagoner, to Mr. F. Wiley Hubbell, of Schenectady, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Hubbell, of Bridgeport, Conn. Miss Wagoner attended the Brown School in Schenectady and was graduated from St. Agnes School in Loudonville, N. Y., and Briarcliff Junior College."
"The engagement of Miss Doris Keller to Frederick Gordon Hamlin, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Hamlin of Akron, Ohio, has been announced by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles George Keller of Montclair, N. J. The prospective bride, a member of the Junior League of Montclair, was graduated from the Kimberley School and from Pine Manor Junior College."

FOR THE FUTURE. ...Bob Hage, already ear-marked by the Navy as a likely V-7 prospect, may shortly be ensigned; if so, your Executive Committee will be announcing a new Head Agent for Alumni Fund Campaign purposes. More on this later.
With the April issue, space restrictions will introduce a note of brevity, heretofore lacking in these notes, but we'll try to get in as much as we can. In that issue we will present two pictures of Bob Sellmer: one in his new RAF wings, the other in his earlier French Foreign Legion uniform. Hope you'll like them. Maybe by then we can check on the story of DickHalvorsen flying British bombers on the Russian front. Meanwhile, see you around.
"ARSENIC AND OLD LACE" This nostalgic bit of '35 lore includes thenewer Hawgood lace, and the unmistakable old arsenic himself.
