1933

While the Harvard game last week-end left something to be desired as the ill-starred '46 Big Green eleven went down to defeat for the fifth consecutive week, one of the by-products of the occasion was an influx of '33s into Hanover that must have broken some kind of a record. While some may well have escaped the net we threw out for them, our scouts reported the following as present in the crowd of 16,000 that jammed Memorial Field: George Rideout, Jim Duby, Bill McCain, Ed Patch, Harry Hardy, Bob Teabolt, Fran Harrington, Cupe Farmer, Earle Gordon, Arch Lade, Sam Black, Bill Dewey, Jack Wright, Bill McCarthy, Gordon Ingram, Cliff Johnson, Jack Manchester.

After the game several miniature reunions were held at the homes of Hanover residents, the McCartys, Manchesters, Ingrams, and Theriaults playing host to the visitors. Inspired but belated attempts in the course of the evening to merge these nuclei came to nothing, but all accounts agree that each did well enough on its own.

For Harry Hardy the week-end had a special significance. Harry and the Mrs. were celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary, and this was their first visit to Hanover since they spent their honeymoon at the Inn in 1936. Harry is the manager of Moore's Specialty Shop in Portland, Maine. Before moving to Portland he had worked for a number of years for Filene's in Boston. The Hardys have two sons, age four and five.

For Cliff and Bess Johnson the game, Fall House Parties, and the '33 reunions were only a few of the choice items in a two-week convalescence program that we recommend for your consideration if you are looking forward, as Cliff would say, "to enjoying ill health." Cliff had a rough time of it a month or so back with pneumonia, and when his doctors prescribed a complete rest he and Bess packed their bags and came to the Hanover Inn. The rest may not have been quite as complete or as restful as the doctor had in mind, but we can testify that both Cliff and Bess enjoyed it thoroughly.

Don't know how we slipped up on it but we should have advised you several months ago that Jack Wright had joined the staff of the Hitchcock Clinic as a specialist in internal medicine, thereby adding another '33 family to our already large Hanover delegation.

Sometime last month we received a clipping from Variety, forwarded to us through the good offices of Cap Palmer '23, advertising Guggenheim Enterprises. A follow up note to Bob brought a letter from him describing his business as follows: "Primarily, we are engaged in developing new ideas of merit which entails, among other things, arrangements for patents, manufacture, distribution, sales promotion and publicity Included in our Market Research Analysis Department is public acceptance research in plain language, a consumer's reaction poll By direct contact with the ultimate potential consumer, we find out the acceptance or rejection of a client's product both as to desirability and price. We have had excellent results and our clients have been most enthusiastic." Bob goes on to say that they are at present considering the possibility of expansion, particularly by the establishment of a jewelry division. His headquarters are 6331 Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood 28, if you have a new idea you would like to have evaluated or developed.

You will recall our item last month about Ed Janjigian's first novel, Doctor Destiny, and our promise to let you know who the publisher was when, as, and if we found out. Well, we have it. Gordon Books, Box 232, Edinburg, Indiana, and the price, $3.00.

In the '33 in Politics Department we are delighted to be able to inform you that Bob Doscher came through to win a closely contested fight in Rockland County, New York, for the position of County Judge, Surrogate and Judge of the Juvenile Court. Twenty-seven thousand votes were cast for the candidates and Dosch's majority was 112. A little close for comfort, perhaps, but a mighty fine victory when Dosch was given little or no chance to win against his opponent who held the position for a number of years, is well known, and highly regarded. Our congratulations, Jedge, and best luck.

An issue or two back we chose to poke fun at what we had been given to understand was Harry Osborne's new address, 116 Hernia Avenue, Cranford, N. J. Harry immediately wrote an indignant letter informing us that his neighbors were considering suing me for libel. "We are the insult," he said. It turns out it should have been 116 Herring Avenue, and we should stop dragging a red hernia across Harry's, and his neighbors', trail. OK, Herring it is. Harry, by the way, was awarded the Legion of Merit in October. The citation read, in part: "As assistant judge advocate at headquarters of the First Air Force from August, 1942 to March, 1946, Colonel Osborne served brilliantly in the administration of military justice throughout that command. Colonel Osborne's exceptional professional ability and exemplary devotion to duty reflect great credit upon himself and the armed forces of the United States."
