1943

Just as the senior banquet was breaking up last December, Dean Neidlinger, edging his way out, expressed regrets that the news that diplomas might be late had not been announced. By the time these notes are read this may be water under the dam; if not, the story is that each diploma must bear all the Trustee's signatures, and some of the Trustees are not in the vicinity of Hanover.

Without intending to give aid to the enemy, it may be observed here that no news has thus far been received of V-7 '43s being called up. Paul Parker, surrounded by hordes of adoring WAACS, writes that he is dividing his time between announcing for a Des Moines station and improving the morale of the local military forces while waiting to be called. A heartening democratic note was Ollie Lazare in a seaman's uniform quietly munching good things in the polished atmosphere of a Times Square Longchamps.

Chuck Feeney, intending to embark on a life of easy leisure before being called to the "Prairie State," snapped at a sio-a-day job demolishing a building in Newark, N. J. "All I do all day now is shovel rock and cement," he wails after three days in the profession. "They don't talk nice to me, and after a day of shoveling I turn in at 7:00 every night. I'm also a provisional member of the A. F. of L."

What with enlistments and the draft, it appears that Washington will become a steady nucleus for '43. Early returns (with some 250 members not reporting) show Al Hardie and Herb Marx working with Bob Lang in the Office of Strategic Services Bill Remsen will be studying at the Institute of Public Affairs school until the summer, at least, and Frank Sherwood, who got the class of '26 fellowship, will probably be there, too.

Tieing one or two loose medical ends together, George Burke, who continues at AKK and Med School, passes on the following dope of former '43s: Bob Aylesbury and Bob Craig are at Temple Med School, Aylesbury being president of the class Larry Austin is at the University of Penn Med School Paul Harvey studies at Harvard Med "Boger" goes to Yale Med now and Al LeMarbre, ex-Crosbyite, is at Tufts.

Chick Webb writes that he'll soon be at Camp Hale, Pando, Colorado, with the mountain troops and adds that it's lucky for the entire Axis peoples that he's a good-natured guy. The same sentiments may be directed here at the person responsible for non-mailing of the Aegis.
