1945
By not writing in as much as you should, you bums are forcing me to scramble around for news; hence you few who read this thing are going to get fairly-well scrambled items, but (with the reminder that all of this could be so easily rectified by you brutes) here we go nonetheless.
In the line of sports there has been very little for us Dartmouths to crow about of late; therefore we think it quite proper, to throw out our chests a bit over our very fine hockey team this season passed. Not only did the team snare the league title (after a playoff with Yale), but it represented the U. S. (and was with very little argument the best team in the country) and became (after a comeback fight with Toronto) co-holders of the "International Intercollegiate Ice Hockey Championship." Then most of the team banded together as the "Hanover Indians," and by pretty lopsided scores became national AAU champions in Boston, and will hence make up most of the U. S. Olympic team in 1948. Not all of the credit for all these achievements, but some, go to George Pulliam, defenseman.
Further Wah Hoo Wahs for fellow '4ss are as follows: Phi Betes equipped with little shovels and smiles of justifiable pride are Robert Crocheron Beetham, Parker Lewis Coddington, Richard F. Kuhns Jr., Stanley Lloyd Rice, Robert Livingston Steiner, Russell Foote Stryker Jr., Andrew Ten Eyck Jr., and Casper W. Wooldredge Jr. Paul Newman, no mental midget himself, has popped out with a fulllength play, Dollar Diplomacy, which was presented at Robinson Hall late in March. According to reviewer Austin Wason, there is excellent comedy by Bob Shaw ("a well-intentioned clown"), there are a "few isolated good quips," and the farce "contains a reasonable degree of originality in situation and ranks high as entertainment." We just wonder if there was any hypnotising in the play. A couple of other achievers are George Barr, President of Green Key, and Carl Tourtellot, President of the Interfraternity Council. Getting back into the realm of sports (to be taken in only one way, pliz), Russell Bruce Kenworthy will captain this spring's tennis squad, while Art Carey will make Tom Dent happy and Jim Doole, Lefty Grunditz, Charlie Cashin, Don Ash, and John Callagy will tear around the bases and, we hope, make Jeremiah's first year with the baseball team a successful one.
Comes now Hearts and (May) Flowers, and there aren't too many; you boys must be holding out till June. Two clippings tell us that Fred Bontecou has become engaged to Susan Holt of Fairfield, Conn.; so it must be so. Fred was a captain in the Army Transport Corps during the war and is now finishing lip at school. Probably be one of those June bridegrooms just mentioned. Ted Hufstader got himself married off to Bonnie Mae Peters in Flint, Mich., on February 12, 1947, and AlFoster was married 'way back last November to Marjorie Emerson of Jamestown, N. Y. The Fosters honeymooned in Quebec and are living in Beantown right now.
Warren Quimby is connected with the Joint Highway Research Project at Purdue; so if the roads are lumpy in Indiana, blame it on "Qui-ho!e." (Vic will love that!) Paid "Pappy"Talbot is with the Healy-Tibbetts Constr. Co. of San Francisco.
A swell letter from Rod Walser (no plug this time) says, "Our boy Dick Murray is a prospective father with the blessed event to take place sometime the end of May. How things have progressed since our bull-sessions in Wheeler Hall!" Rod also mentions that Johnny Gooding "was another to fall by the way—and just this past February 14th—to Ethyl Winston down in Lake City, S. C." Thanks, Rod, youze is a good boy! Harry Roberts was married the same date (March 1) in the same town (Longjmeadow, Mass.), .we. were, but to a different girl, Sari Bailey of Des Moines. Harry and bride are living in or around Boston. Good luck and more power to all you wah-hoo-wahers and newlyweds!
By the way, we have lots of address changes come to us once in a while; so if any of you guys ever want to get hold of some old college chum, there is a pretty good chance that we have the address of same. Drop us a line, and while you're at it, of course, you could fill your note full of interesting and printable news. Go ahead, fill it with unprintable news if yah want! One address we'll pass along free of charge is that of Dr. James M. Andrew (suh) now of Columbus, Ohio. Nice going! and so long until June.
