1943

You fellows are going to be receiving some propaganda soon or will have received it by the time you read this column. The occasion is that yours truly has been appointed Class Secretary, officially. Ed Bock is over in London and doesn't feel that he can carry on with this job so by a vote of our class executive committee, I am it! I'd like to get your full support so that I can really do a good job and keep you up to date on all the news of our classmates. Some of the fellows have been able to make one or two of the football games this fall. The next one on the calendar is the Harvard game in Hanover. I'm looking forward to seeing lots of the fellows up for that one. That's houseparties, too, so the town will be overflowing with people.

Ed Bock, our world traveler, had only been "bock" from Tokyo a short while when he took off for London where he is now attending the London School of Economics and Political Science, working on an advanced degree. He came across with quite a bit of news about the fellows he saw in his brief stay in the Statesand I quote, "I" saw a lot of '43's, mostly in quick, one-drink reunions. There was Chuck Feeney, who is neither balding nor less jovial, after months of widening his back-end on a swivel chair at the N. Y. Giants; there was Pete Heggie, now of New York and the upper Village; Herb Marx and the splendidly equipped three phonographed apartment on Ist Avenue; John Hutchinson, who came down in a convertible taking water in at the lee scuppers; [whatever that is]; Bill Osmun, encountered on a mid-town street while I was looking for a familiar garage—he's going to Yale, now, I think; Ted Hopper, now in North Arlington, New Jersey; and Dick Barkhorn, hard by in Newark; not to mention Herb Schaffner and Don Kingsley up at school. Also, Guy Mallet, who will be in Paris soon, he expects." Thanks lots to you, Ed, for all that news! Ed's new address for anyone in that vicinity or anyone wanting to write is:

E. A. Bock, London School of Economics, University of London, Houghton Street, Aldwyck, London, W. C. 2, U. K.

I'm glad to see that the number of bachelors in our class is getting smaller. Here are some of the "fellows that have recently taken the step:

Engagements: Margaret Jane Bordewick of Primghar, lowa to Thomas Harrison Kelly, II; Barbara Gunschel of Upper Montclair, New Jersey to Bodie Mosenthal; Marion Brown Jamison of Poynette, Wisconsin to "Whitey" Meigs; Patricia Condon of Brooklyn, U. S. A., to Melvin Fenichell, also of the Ebbets Field area; Louise Lyons of Elkins Park, Pennsylvania to Al Coons; and Anne Richardson of Louville, New York, and Smith to George Mason. George is with the Dunham Brothers Company.

Married recently were Miss Ora Francis of Hamburg, N. Y. to George Hebard. George entered Law School at the University of Buffalo this fall. Miss Elizabeth Purvis, daughter of Mayor Purvis of Westfield, New Jersey to Bob Power. Bob's wife's sister is married to John Muchamore, also of our class. John H. Clark was married in Fresno, California to Henri Dollar. They are now living at the Terrace Apartments, Richmond where he is attending the Graduate School of Business Administration at the University of California.

Dick Kimmel is coming out of hiding to attend the Harvard game. He's stopping off in Boston on his way up to Hanover so a gettogether is being organized by "Jug" O'Connor and Johnny Kos, to honor his presence.

Here are some news items from here, there and everywhere. Ernest "Bud" Armstrong is down in Montgomery, Alabama, dealing in Investment Securities; Curtis Cecil, with the Curtis Publishing Company is working on "Magazine X" (You tell me what it is?) Up in Monroe, Michigan, Johnny Conn is with the Consolidated Paper Co., while Roy Kirch, recently out o£ Tuck, is in the retail furniture business. Harvey Daniels with the First Service Corporation is a security analyst in St. Paul, Minnesota. Another chemist to add to the list is Ted Hopper he's with the U. S. Industrial Chemicals, Inc. in Newark. I have more detailed addresses for all of these fellows if anyone wishes to write to any one of them, or if someone is in a new district and wants to know who else from our class is in the vicinity.

Tom MacEhvee, now up in North Creek, N. Y. is with the Barton Mines Corp., while Walt Powers, as you probably know, is a Law Student at Boston University. Down in Philadelphia, George Tillson, works for the Bell Telephone Co., Roy Watson is at Cornell taking the hotel administration course. Still another Chemist is Fred Woodward. He is with the General Aniline and Film Corp. in Easton, Pennsvlvania.

I'm running short on space, so I'll just mention the fellow's name and his business: David Loughlin, writer for the Time and Life outfit; Gerry Peterson, sales representative for International Business Machines in Webster Groves, Mo.; Eugene Wiley with Pacific Mills Worsted Division in New York City; "Sparky" Adams working for F. W.

Rubber Co., Naugacuck, Conn.; Jim Hooker is doing labor relations work for the Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad in Pittsburg; Guy Mallet 23 Rue de la Paix, Paris, France (I don't know what he's doing).; Stan Skaug is at the Shattuck School in Faribault, Minnesota; Elmer Stevens, reporter for the Worcester, Mass.. Telegram; Ray Wolfe at Clayton, Missouri in the John Burroughs School (seen "Sparky" Adams there Ray? 'he's in that town, too); Dick Houghton, electrical engineer for the National Co. in Maiden, Mass.; Fred Johnson—public accountant in Highland Park, N. J.; Dick Kimber, sales-service for the F. J. Stokes Machine Cos. in Philadelphia; Dan Kramer, captain in the Army Air Corps; Greg McKennis in the Bristol Laboratories, Syracuse, New York; Paul Mallory, salesman in New York City; Charlie Rueckert with Armstrong Rubber Co., Conn.; and Dick Smith in the logging business up in Seattle.

That's quite a long list, hope it's brought you fairly well up to date.

Before I close, I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Yearl

Secretary, 11 Eliot St., Belmont, Mass.

Treasurer, Parkhurst Hall, Hanover, N. H.
