1936

It's a big place, that Yale Bowl. And although there must have been scores o£ '36 men and wives in the crowds, we spotted only a few. Lou Tylec was there—down from Moodus, Conn. And the Pete Fitzherberts. And, according to Boyce Price, so were PaulLynch, Ed Brooks, Pep Mintz and Dink Gidney. Mon and Adele Greenbaum expected to be there—and we assume they were—but we seemed to have missed practically everybody. The proposed "'36 picnic" in one of the official parking areas was a bit of a fizzle. Despite a huge '36 printed on an oversized carton which we placed atop our buggy, traffic passed us by except for Bud Horn's sister-in-law, who kept checking us to find out if we had seen Bud. She finally located him, and we caught a glimpse of him after the game. As for the game itself—this guy doesn't think the score told the whole story—or the great potentialities, even before next year rolls around. Ed Whitlock takes the prize for relaying hot news before it has a chance to cool 0ff.... the arrival of his third daughter at 2:13 a.m., October 13. He sent us a flash that same afternoon, even before the little girl had been named. Congratulations, Ed.

Congratulations, too, to the Ray Builters on the arrival, August 22, of Dean Robert Builter. Ray also reports a new job—assistant controller of Columbia Records, Inc., at Bridgeport, Conn.

Best wishes to Theo and Bob Prentice who welcomed David Lyon Prentice, a lb. bundle on October 28.

Best wishes-best wishes to the Emil Hokansons. Twins! A boy, Kris, and a girl, Kristina. Hoke's affiliation with the Carnation Company, as a lawyer in their Corporate Dept., should prove of interest and benefit to the new-comers.

Another stork special—Dr. Norman Simon records the arrival of a daughter, Wendy, on October 15. Happy days for Wendy!

Pete Wright resigned his job as Publicity Director of American Petroleum Institute, and is filling the same niche now with Bigelow-Sanford, N. Y. C.

Sev Vass has quit Pal Blade Company for a job with Ford Motors in Detroit. His family will be following him out there. Incidentally, for the benefit of those few of you who don't read Glamour Magazine regularly (a plug for my boss)—the October issue carried a fullpage picture of Sev's family. The caption tells the story: "Mrs. Siffrien Vass plays with her two pajamaed youngsters, Barbara and Dana, while she waits for her commuter husband." Then followed some fashion copy—about Mrs. Vass, of course.

And in November House if Garden (my boss will like this one, too!), there is a travel feature on Guatemala, generously illustrated with kodachrome and black-and-white shots taken by Mr. and Mrs. Buster May.

In May, Tom Parker pulled up stakes in Maine and planted them further south in Boston—to take up his duties as New England District Manager of Remington Arms Co. He commutes from suburban Hingham.

Dick Morton has left Pitney Bowes in Boston to join the New England advertising staff of Country Gentleman. His colleague in the N. Y. office, George MacCleary, tells us Dick's official joining-up date was October 13.

Lou Benezet is now established in Syracuse, where he is assistant to the Chancellor of the University.

Sub Harris writes in a southwestern drawl to report he's still "deep in the heart of youknow-where for Sylvania Electric, covering from Texarkana, Ark., to somewhere east of EI Paso. Can now wear a Stetson and highheel boots with grace—and roll my own, if I have to."

Jerry King has finished his stint as president of the Schenectady Junior Chamber of Commerce. After a summer of gold-for-businessand-pleasure, he's back in business again fulltime.

We hear Dang Scherman has left Life Mag, and is now writing plays.

Speaking of drama and Life, did you know that Blake Johnson is managing director and owner of what Life rated the country's number one summer theater—the Marblehead Playhouse, Marblehead, Mass. This past summer, Blake's North Shore Players presented Paul Muni, Gertrude Lawrence, Constance Bennett, Lucille Ball, etc., etc. All of which leaves us with a timely question—what does a summer theatre manager do in winter?

Dr. Stan Walker knows what it means to cover territory and try being in two places at one time. He's carrying on a busy practice alone, in Worcester, after his associate retired —and maintains a country office in Barre, Mass. As he says, "it's a real job practising in two places and trying to keep ahead of the overhead.''

Any and all meager morsels of news about you or fellows you see or hear from will be most welcome. Not to mention some good oldfashioned letters. And if you have any candid camera shots around the place, send them along. With the cooperation of the Editor, it will be pleasant to see you.

By the way, it's early—but none too soonto wish you all a very Merry Christmas—and the best sort of new year.

A RETURN TO THE CAMPUS: Buster May '36 and his wife Katherine photographed in August while stopping over in Hanover on a trip from St. Louis.
