1934*
Severely spoiled by radio bulletins, seven-edition newspapers and the rapid-fire news magazines whose issues are out before you've finished the last one and can say Jack Robinson '33, the loyal readers of this portion of Dartmouth's monthly MAGAZINE are licensed to use any language they choose, if they spot whiskers on any of the ensuing material.
Wilmot, for instance, will see a few gray ones on this:
"After spending two years in a dark apartment in Evanston, we moved to a barn-like, delightful spot in Highland Park. I see Bill Baird whenever I go out to Omaha—in addition to practicing with his father, Bill has a law class at Creighton (the local Harvard). Have also seen Ramsey a couple of times and must say he is as handsome as ever. .... Ran into Phil Eckels one day at the Fontanelle in Omaha and romped through a few topics (not a new drink). On my way back to Chicago from Omaha I nearly always spend a day in Cedar Rapids and wonder why Hedges ever left it. Have met some people who confess having gone to school with Dave, but I'll suppress comments.
"Hicks is fast becoming the tycoon of scrap, under the careful tutelage of Hunter and Jack, the other Hickses. Tom & Jean are living out in Barrington in the gentleman farmer district and already talk with a drawl. Swede Lindstrom is still Jewel Tea's bright spot. Bill Cumings, who is still with Bethlehem because digging ore is important, is going to marry June Carey, of Virginia, Minnesota, on November 29. I'm going up to help put the affair on ice. Bill says he'll probably be due to skip down to Cuba shortly after the wedding, so it looks like a nice honeymoon. He digs it and I try to sell it, but who gets the breaks ?
"Almost forgot—last year on a trip to the Twin Cities I got in touch with Ray Vickland and we spent the evening in one of the spots. Somebody's band was playing and the gal singing was none other than the old songbird Irene Taylor—remember her at Green Key with Mai Hallett back in the dim past ? Oh yes, and last summer I ran into John Lashar. John was busy representing the pea canning industry and was touring around through Wisconsin."
Sol Palmer, Bob Miller, Baldwin and Douglass and Frankel, all of whom have made the suggestion, as well as others who probably feel the same way about it, will be interested in a New Deal in New York class dinners. Subject to the rules of the new Dartmouth Club layout, the first Wednesday of every month will remain, in a strictly informal way, '34 night. There's likely to be a tableful of the boys around on that one evening, good for a meal, a card game or a movie. But—there won't be any cards sent out, reservations made, or gripes accepted if nobody else shows up. And—two or three times a year, under the continuing reign of New York maestro Jeff Jackson, the class will gather en masse with speakers, celery & olives, music and old jokes.
A missive from Bob Engelman points out that "Robert S. Jr. made his first appearance January 21. We have decided not to call this second son Junior—will probably substitute Chip, because he's right off the old block. Al Kahn now has a son named Stephen and is one of the chestbustingest fathers I have ever seen. Wardwell was up here (Chicago) a month ago. His stomach circumference is just one inch larger than a redwood tree. Bumped into Sid Wisch at a local night club while he was conventioning—he seems to be working for a furniture store in Cincinnati." Is that right, Sid, or is it still Mayer-Macks, in Cleveland?
Military and neo-military: Dr. Alfred Yankauer is at Fort Bragg, N. C Al Hine finds the retail & wholesale automobile business folding up and expects shortly to answer the call to arms
Deane Howland mailed his dues check from Honolulu on December 18, adding that he had been on the Coast for a vacation until two weeks before that—of interest to those many who thought of Deane when the word Hawaii suddenly took on
a new meaning some months ago John Lyle is now a lieutenant in the Medical Corps Dick Poisson is in Washington as a Naval Lieutenant Fred Rath is driving an ambulance outside the U. S.
Dick Fowle writes from Washington: "The Social Security Board, which felt like an infant beside the old-line outfits until last summer, is now one of the old-line outfits itself. We feel positively musty sometimes, working for a program which dates back over six years. But even so, we're on the firing line, what with Labor Supply and the field activity of the Offices of Defense Health and Welfare Service. I was transferred here from Montpelier in March ('41). Recently bumped into Stan Abercombie (still teaching safety, and practicing it on the side, for the AAA) and Neil Richmond, hard at work in the Library of Congress."
Having acquainted ourselves with military terminology in the past weeks, we hasten to correct our recent statement that "Ike Powers is our only field officer." Ike is a line officer, not a field officer, and is commander of a gun battery on the Pacific Coast. Steve Meigher wants to know how the hell can Powers command 174 men when he can't even lick Meigher. Powers says it's lucky for Meigher that 3,000 miles intervene. Flash: letter from Wilbur says he's just been made a Captain.
Married: Janet Muir, of Pelham (N.Y.), Dana Hall and Vassar, to Witten McConnochie February 12, in Pelham Nona Ernstein, of Atlantic Beach (N. Y.) and Adelphi College, to Bob Kolbe, some time, we think, during March.
Harry Espenscheid makes his annual Moose call for summer visitors to the Teton Mountain Ranch. His set-up still sounds beautifully attractive; if there are any among us who contemplate anything so like the good old days as a vacation this summer, he could do a lot worse than get in touch with Harry out there in Jackson Hole, Wyoming Don Crowther, of Aetna Life, has been named to the faculty of the Hartford College of Insurance, to teach group life insurance The Hartford Courant also announces that a member of its own staff, William P. Stowe, has been appointed by the Civil Service Commission to the Connecticut Defense Savings Staff of the Treasury Department. Bill, in a recent card, writes: "My only story concerns a Milwaukee trip on my vacation last summer. 40 miles east of Binghamton, N. Y., I ran smack into the first violence of the milk strike, a 3,000-gallon dumping. Whipping out the trusty Zeiss, I got a couple of shots despite a threat to break my camera. Chased the truck afterwards, got one more picture of the driver bewilderedly scratching his head and holding the empty tank valve. Then to Binghamton and sold two pictures to the Morning Sun. Just a reporter's holiday."
