1941

447A Washington Ave., Brooklyn 5, N. Y. Here it is only the first part of November, and we're clacking away on the well beat-up portable, knocking out a column for the December issue. This is not so strange as it would first appear, for the gang in Hanover who edit this stuff and finally shoot it along to the printer, require the copy the 10th of the month preceding the month of publication. And if any class scribe should be so negligent as to forget said date, or who, as I do most every month, believe that by some miraculous turn of fortune the mailcarrier will leave a bagfull of dope the afternoon of the 9th, the college sends a gentle prod in the way of a telegram, sum and substance of which say "where in h— is your copy?"

Fortunately we haven't received any telegrams as yet, and have not had to hang our head in shame, but brother it can't go on indefinitely as we've knocked the bottom out of the barrel for news bits as of this issue. So to keep old D.H.S. out of the Hanover dog house, how's about some letters from you guys?

For those of you who may have missed spotting the mention in another part of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE last month, President Dickey has announced that Dave Nutt has been appointed Arctic Specialist in the Museum. "Beanie" will be on leave from November through April to permit him to participate in a naval expedition to the Antarctic. The group of '4l's back in Hanover is certainly increasing, so add "Beanie" to the list we mentioned in last month's issue.

Chuck Carleton was in New York last month, but the closest I came to seeing him was a telephone call—and that while I was out for lunch.

A note from Eddie Jeremiah indicates that so far as the Dartmouth hockey team is concerned, around i960, there isn't a worry in the world. Seems he recently received a letter from Fred Maloon 111, though he has a sneaking hunch Fred Jr. wrote it for him. Anyway he takes his daddy for a ride, as follows:

"Don't think I can finish off many plays for you this year, although it is my personal opinion that even now I could outskate Fred Jr., my daddy. I gather, all I would have to do is fall forward and I would be moving faster than he ever did—and he is always making fool faces at me, and testing my legs and ankles wondering whether I will be a right or left shot."

So, for a youngster six months old or so, that's a pretty fair piece of reporting.

This announcement is a bit belated—sorry I didn't catch it sooner—that Walt Lipman and Joanne Cecil were married in September. On October 11, in Waterbury, Conn., BillEnglish and Ann Bulger were married.

The Bill McCues report the birth of a son, their first child, on October 3, and they have named the future Dartmouth boy David Cochran McCue.

Had a grand letter from Bob and BarbaraHarvey written from Stockholm, Sweden. They have been over there about a year now, and as they say:

"Bob's been writing, studying, and loafing. He attended the University of Stockholm (being top man in his class last term—natch). We can both now speak Swedish, find our way around the country, and drink schnapps without wincing. Seriously, we have loved Sweden, and have enjoyed the whole year tremendously. But hot water, central heating, and American informality will certainly be good to know again Michael Landon Harvey was born on October 10 to proud and amazed parents who had expected a girl .... now having a merry chase trying to fulfill red tape necessary to make him an American citizen, as the Swedish birth certificate doesn't list a father! But that has been rectified, and we expect to supply Mike with a U.S. passport for our trip home for Christmas."

Ray Hall has been elected the first President of the newly organized Dartmouth Club of Eastern Oklahoma and, when not behind the gavel, is busy handling insurance for the Halliburton Agency.

Gene Adkins is carrying on solo as an oil operator in Tulsa following the sale of his oil properties to Shell. Jack Bates hits Tulsa once in a while, and was there recently to serve as best man for his brother Bill's wedding. Jack is an oil well drilling contractor in Odessa, Texas. Ed Patterson is in Tulsa with the Patterson Steel Cos., and is also on the Executive Committee of the newly formed Dartmouth Club. J. Perry Maxwell is another of the Tulsa gang active in the new club and is an architect living in Tulsa, though out of town a good deal of the time.

Back East again now—and the old Yale Bowl proved a good meeting spot for many of the class at the Dartmouth game. My television set counted the following noses—BobMensel, George Kazaross, Don Taber, FelixLilienthal, Buzz Willis, "Shack" Reeder, EdStone, Hank Frechette, Paul Speir, Oscar Israel, Jack Waldorf, Bill Hotaling, HankChilds, Bill Galbraith, Steve Winship, BobKoenig, "Spider" Paul, Bruce Friedlich,George Seel, and "Stu" May.

Speaking of "Stu" May reminds me I haven't sent in my class dues yet for this year. Will do it now. Hope you all have. Remember it's four bucks, and send it along to "Stu" in the self-addressed envelope he sent you. See you all again in January, and a very Merry Christmas to you all.
