1935
Our Skirts are Clean Department ....
Comes now our good friend Bill Wilks, whose letter we didn't dare print last month, but who has since replied to our request for enlightenment to the extent necessary to warrant inclusion of said letter in these cloistered pages:
Since I have just now paid my class dues, I'll take time to give you a little dope on myself. I am now out of the Navy and am living at 506 Fourqurean Lane, Richmond, Va., where I am working with the Hamilton Paper Corp.
I was married in April of '44 in Oran, Algeria, North Africa, to Dimmie Abernathy, an _ Army Nurse and native of Richmond, which explains my being here. I am also a proud father—daughter and a real cute one, even if the old man himself says so. I would be more than glad to have any '3ser in these parts drop in and see me. Do you_ have any information as to whether or not there is a Dartmouth Club here? I have lost track of Deckert, Griffith, and Williams and am hoping that this little piece will result in letters from them.

Address Unknown ....
Frank Wright has dropped his Lieutenant bars and is back practicing law in Chicago, but we don't know just where.
Art Bamford should be discharged by now, for if he kept to his schedule his recent hospitalization should have ended and freed him.
Johnny Wallace may still be in Bremen, sweating it out, but we have a hunch he's home by now. Last reports had him returning to Hordenham, Germany, after seven days leave in Denmark, concluding that the people and the food there were wonderful, "the nearest thing to the States yet."
Dick Schneider reports.... "Have had a fairly good two and a half years in the Army, with two of them overseas in North Africa, Italy, and France, doing nothing but neurosurgery. Am now fighting to get out of the service in order to continue my work in neurosurgery at the University Hospital at Ann Arbor. Hope I have the pleasure of seeing you at the 'Tardy Tenth.' "
The whereabouts of Captain Russ Kirsch may be somewhat vague in the class records (due to his meanderings throughout Europe for the past twenty months as an Episcopal Chaplain) but he can be reached via his mother at 305 Main St., Tilton, N. H., or we imagine that his brother-in-law John Shuttleworth would be glad to serve as a courier debois for any messages.
Tom Lane, new Director of Sales Promotion and National Advertising for that corner-store colossus United Drug Co., must be able to afford an address, but so far we haven't been informed, although Pic Magazine did bring us up to date on his activities with a colorful autobiographical sketch in their January issue.
Miscellany ....
We recall reading some place recently that Bob Maida was figuring very prominently in the Nuremburg trials as Special Assistant to Mr. Justice Jackson, and for visual verification of this, we refer you to page 27 of the 10 December 19,45 issue of Life Magazine where an upper left-hand picture of the trials includes Captain Maida in action.
That all-Navy Dick O'Daniel wedding did take place: out at Long Beach, Calif., on 14 December last.
Gloria Glockenspiel's Gleamings....
From her eave-trough berth near the Hanover Inn's swinging sign, Gloria flashes a message to the effect that she has very little to report, other than that the Irving Sagers cameup from Deal, N. J., to spend New Year's Eveat the Inn, that the Art Flinners came overfrom the Lake Placid Cl'ub for ten days duringJanuary, and Lt. Cmdr. and Mrs. Ted Steelecame up for four days from Springfield, Mass.
Then in a plaintive frustrated flicker shetold us how she felt about that Mr. Colton,and particularly after all those nice things wewent and said about him last month, for him.to go ahead and get out his opening number ofthis year's Blinker (which isn't even stapledtogether, so there) and walk off with all thenews, such as that nice Mr. Rockwell gettingthat appointment as Assistant Professor of Political Science at Williams College, and evenmentioning Major Wolff and Lt. Gilchristhaving Hallow'een Dinner at the Bankartsand that was a frivolous firefly's delight ifthere ever was one and she wanted to give youa full coverage on it, and then the worst thingthat Mr. Colton did was ....
EDITOR'S NOTE .... Fortunately, for the sake of the preservation of peace among our happy little family of Hanover correspondents, the morning sun came up over Balch Hill just then and we couldn't make out what dear old Gloria was flushing about, though it sounded like she was cautioning George to Beware the Ides of March! It's probably just as well that she can't read, but we humbly remind you that we can and will welcome an opportunity to so indulge ourselves.
The letter is from Lt. R. M. Kugler, USNR, USS Southerland (DD-yjj), FPO, San Francisco, dated 14 November
News? Nothing much here. The Southerland is at anchor in Tokyo Bay, while her officers and men sit in corners silently biting their fingernails down to the knuckle waiting for the magic word that will send us back to. Uncle Sugar. The Southerldnd made a fine record for herself during the short time she was in action as a radar picket and fighter direction ship, operating with the fast carriers of the Third Fleet, and had the honor of being the first ship into Tokyo Bay after the minesweepers. I left the ship the day before she sailed from Leyte for the attack on Japan, took a course in fighter direction at Pearl Harbor, and spent the following two months trying to get back to her, and had a good tour of the Orient in the attempt. I had no way of receiving mail during this period, so was greatly relieved when I did get back aboard to find out that Hilda had produced a healthy baby boy, Robert Rolfe on September 4, who has been duly enrolled as a candidate for the Class of 1968.
I expect to get out of the Navy in April; I have no aspirations beyond that great day of liberation, except to get back and see Hanover once more in the Spring, with Hilda and Rob at my side.
