1930
This month our Thirtytwin presentation is varied by the appearance of a boy and girl instead of a set of sons or daughters. It took over three years to get confirmation of the reported Alderdice twins, but an appeal to Elizabeth Alderdice brought dividends in the accompanying excellent picture of George Frederick 111 and Deborah Bliss, born April 19, 1939. Their mother's generous cooperation makes up for the reticence of daddy George, who is now the assistant superintendent of the traffic department of the CarnegieIllinois Steel Company at Duquesne, while living at 5473 Kipling Road, Pittsburgh.
Tardy, but not so reticent is Roly Belknap, who reports the arrival of John Paul Belknap on May 28, 1942, and admits with fatherly experience that girls are easier to bring up than boys.
Jim Dunlap is completely secretive about the birth of Ann Constance on November is, 1942, but he forgets that secretarial eyes are ever on the alert for such glad tidings in various publications.
Jack and Dorothy Rich were very prompt in announcing the. arrival of their third daughter, Susan Dudley, on December 3, and Tom McLarney probably was, although he has neglected to give us Eleanor's birthday.
Probably Bob Walker is married. A postcard to our treasurer from Ste. Adele en Haut, Quebec, led Charlie Raymond to believe that Bob was married shortly after Christmas to Helene Tobey, of Granby, Conn., and that they were honeymooning at that well-known ski resort.
You know how your eye sometimes spot a name or item in the paper just as you are turning over the page. These same secretarial eyes did just that and caught the following in the "Hollywood News" column of the N. Y. Herald Tribune for December 11: "Collier Young will resign soon as story editor for Samuel Goldwyn to go into the Navy. He will be replaced by Pat Duggan, New York literary agent." That's where and what Colly was before he went out to Hollywood.
Bill Jessup entered the Navy in December, also, commissioned as a lieutenant (j.g.), and is now at Quonset Point, R. I.
We received a nice letter from Major Charlie Adams, at Pendleton Field, Oregon: "Have a brand new service squadron and it is quite a job trying to get them through basic training, getting them equipped and packed and ready to go. Velma is here with me and plans on sticking around until we go over—if and when we go. Give my best to everyone."
Our own WAH-HOO WAH department —for Kel Clow, who was recently promoted to the rank of lieutenant-colonel at Camp Campbell, Ky., where he is on duty as a battalion commander with an armored regiment.
Marcia Lillard writes that Pete, lieut. (j.g.), is stationed at the Naval air training station in Hutchinson, Kansas, and that Walter H. Lillard 111 was born last August 5. When little Pete goes to Dartmouth he will be at least the sixth generation to attend, which started with his great, great, great, great-grandfather, John Vose, of the class of 1795.
Paul Hoffman gave no details, simply stating that he is in the Navy now, and Fred Tangemen was not much more ex- plicit when he wrote that he would be at Radford, Virginia, for the next three months. On January 5, Dave Latham was sworn in as a lieutenant (s.g.) in the Navy Medical Corps.
Paul Maguire comes through with a nice letter advising that Dud Ferguson, after completing his three months of basic training, was appointed to Officer's Training School in the air administration at Miami Beach. No doubt Dud and Harry Casler may be in the same class down there. Ellis Gilbert, according to Paul, came out of the Adjutant General's School as a second lieutenant and was sent out to the West coast. There an old back injury forced him out of the Army with an honorable discharge, after having served Uncle Sam for about a year and a half.
From Alex McFarland, who visited us one night in January, we learned that Ed "Solon" Butterworth was elected to the Massachusetts legislature to represent the Twelfth Essex District. His well-fed appearance certainly fits his new position, says our alumni councilor, who is getting ready for the forthcoming Alumni Fund campaign.
Fred Page was recently made a vice president of the General Shareholdings Corporation, a subsidiary of Tricontinental Corporation.
Heinie Stewart and Hank Birge have received commissions as captains, presume ably in the Army, and Ted Seidman, Drew Mosher and Art Behal are lieutenants in the Navy.
