We have a note from Joe Celano who has assumed the job of organizing regular class dinners in New York. He writes:
"I agree that Class Dinners are important. I was disappointed to find that only seven were present at the October dinner, so I agreed to try to improve matters. The result was heartening, for fourteen were present at the November dinner. Each of us promised to attend future dinners which will be held on the third "Wednesday of each month.
"I honestly feel that each one who does go, comes away feeling satisfied and a little bit younger, perhaps. Seeing old faces again is a delight in itself and I hope that more and more '33ers who live in the New York metropolitan area will come each month. There is no reason why such men can't set aside the third Wed. of each month as Dartmouth re-union night.
"Those who attended the November dinner were: Black, Bradshaw, Celano, Cunningham, Farrand,Lade, Mackey, Madden, Muller, Phinney, Rugen,Searing, Shaver, Thomson
Joe lives at 1616 Beverly Road, Brooklyn. If you haven't already noticed it, take another look at the picture on page 59 of the December ALUMNI MAGAZINE. You'll see Dave Flynn pictured along with a lot of sprouts. We assume that you saw "Whiteface, New Hampshire," by Kimball Flaccus on page 3 of the same issue.
DOCTOR MARVEL
The Vermont Alumnus says that Dr. Lorrin A. Riggs is carrying on one of the most original pieces of war work being done by faculty members of that University. He is working in the psychology laboratory at Brown and at Fortress Monroe, Va. His problem is the electric current given off by the retina of the eye. His work is so delicate that he has found it necessary to work in a telephone booth type of enclosure in order to screen out the free electricity in the air.
"The work is confoosin', but amoosin'," says Dr. Riggs.
Dave Russell has received an appointment as lieut. (j.g.) in the Naval Reserve and, when last heard of, was in the Boston Naval Training School.
Chum Glendinning has completed his course at Fort Monmouth, N. J., is now a second lieutenant and has been assigned to duty at the Napier Advanced Flying School, Pothan, Ala.
George Jacobus was married on December 14 at the Yountakoh Country Club, Nutley, N. J., to Hope Carson, of Newark. The groom, now a lieutenant in the Army, was graduated from the Sibley School of Engineering of Cornell University in 1935. He is now acting as an inspector in the Newark office of the New York Ordnance District.
Since Reunion will not be held in June, your secretary-chairman has, as provided in the class constitution, asked the members of the executive committee to elect a fall guy to take over this job as of July 1, 1943. As is to be expected, voting has been something less than brisk. However, the shape of things to come is gradually becoming apparent and we hope to be able to announce the name of our successor by the time the March issue goes to press.
The balloting has been productive because it has brought letters from some men from whom we have not heard in a long time.
Lyrn Wakefield writes that he is at Squantum, a lieut. in the USNR. He was at Quonset Point for indoctrination and left for his present post in April. He is living at 20 Bishop Road, Wollaston.
Bill Lang writes:
"Being with a defense business in the center of the Steel industry to-day is a war time experience of the first magnitude. Despite the discouragement of regulations which are abundant and deceptive in themselves and subject to whimsical interpretations of the great and small, we are getting things done.
"Attended Jim DcHaveris wedding on Nov. 14 in Columbus, O. Bride—Gladdy Osborne. Jim is located at Battelle Memorial Institute, a second Mellon Institute on research problems. Had hoped to see Bill Brown, but William failed to put in an appearance.
"The Langs have two youngsters, both girls. If economic problems ever become simple again, I'd like to have a son. Know the recipe?"
THEY KEEP MOVIN' AROUND
Readers of the lists of address changes which appear in this column periodically may wonder why home addresses are given when men are actually away from home and in the service.
