1930
As this month's edition goes off to press the final results of the Alumni Fund have not been tabulated. Furthermore, by the time you read this issue the results will be old news to you, but enough is known at the present time to say that 1930 has again responded in spectacular fashion. Thanks are due to every contributor and on behalf of the class we extend sincere congratulations and appreciation to Alex McFarland and his cohorts for another splendid achievement.

The accompanying picture of Bill Doran was sent to us by one of Thirty's best correspondents, Priscilla Doran, adding that "Bill writes often and seems very cheerful in spite of the heat. Of course his palatial living quarters and magnificent hospital setup should help some. He hasn't mentioned the lovely damsels that Bill Lucas alluded too!"
Eric Birmingham belatedly announces the arrival of Lee Andrew, July 1, 1942, and claims his other youngster, Eric Bruce, looks like a good prospect for the class of '59. Eric says he sees Phil Peck only for fleeting glances up in Glens Falls.
Sam Butler, Lieut, (jg) writes about his daughter, Joyce, born Sept. 2, 1940, who "will increase the rolls by one curly haired blonde, with a beautiful smile and even a more beautiful disposition." Sam was at Fort Schuyler (the Bronx) from the end of April to the end of June, but we have not heard where his next assignment took him.
Mixing in the civilian with naval and
military news, Bob McClory brushed modesty aside to advise that he was recently elected a member of the board of governors of the Illinois State Bar Association. Bob further informs us that Ed (Cotton) Holmes is now commanding a P.T. boat somewhere in the Pacific.
Harry Casler went from El Paso to Pueblo, where they train heavy bomber combat crews and where the climate (45 miles south of Pike's Peak) is much more pleasant than "that abominable desert dust of Texas."
Capt. George Kisevalter writes from Alaska, "Just received a copy of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE which was most welcome, even though it did much traveling before it caught up with me. I've been pretty well isolated at distant outposts during the past two years and thus have been out of touch with everything. Briefly, after a long isolation while engaged in constructing military installations at remote places, last year I saw action several times, had a fifteen day leave in the U. S. A., and am now at a new location in Alaska. I am a captain in command of a new organization the name of which or function I cannot mention. My officers and men are widely scattered, so I travel extensively. The work is of highly interesting nature and quite a change from previous assignment. My best regards to Thirtymen everywhere. I have not as yet had the good fortune of running into any classmates out here. Will you kindly pass on the correct address to anyone concerned." For those who want Kisty's address, we'll be very happy to supply it.
Our ex-treasurer, Hank Embree is now at the Naval War College at Newport, R. I. "Being assigned to this course," says Hank, "is nothing short of a miracle. It's known as the Preparatory Staff Course and the presumption is that it will lead to duty at sea. Of course, you never can tell. The course is limited to fifty officers of the Naval Reserve; we hear lectures on various phases of warfare and work out different types of problems in groups and also independently. The curriculum seems to be beautifully organized, but the trouble is that many of the officers are Naval Academy graduates or have experience in the fleet, and I shall be in constant danger of being left behind. Naturally, I'm determined to study hard, because I'm very conscious of the great privilege involved in coming here."
Jack Rich became a member of the firm and his name was added to the firm of Burns, Currie, Walker & Rich, 40 Wall St., New York, effective last July 1.
The next issue of the MAGAZINE will be in October, but don't wait until the end of September to send in some news of yourself. And let's have some more pictures of you service men.
CAPT. WILLIAM T. DORAN JR. '30, now stationed in India, recently elected a Fellow, American College of Surgeons—one of the youngest ever so honored.
