1936

Check off another summer. As we prepare these notes on one of the hottest last days of August, forgetting summer seems a bit premature. But we will project our thinking to the time when you'll be reading this.

And one of the things on your minds will undoubtedly involve football.... lining up weekend treks around the gridiron circuit. Many of you may have already sent in your applications for seats to the Yale game. We hope you'll be pleased to hear that the powers-that-be in Hanover have agreed to seat '36ers together at New Haven. Many of you have requested this kind of arrangement; so, if things work out the way they've been planned, you won't have to look very far around you to spot some classmates. It ought to be a good opportunity for a large turnout.

Paul Cleaveland has recently become a member of the law firm of Lane, Bushong and Byron of Hagerstown, Md. He was formerly associated with Messrs. Cravath, Swaine and Moore, acting as counsel for the Aircraft Division of Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corp. in Hagerstown.

El Palmer, in charge of advertising for the Wm. S. Merrell Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, has just been transferred to the job of managing the Canadian Division of his company, one of the top-ranking pharmaceutical houses in the country.

Warren Davis, we learn from his wife (whom we thank for the news), is now in South America with the Texas Petroleum Company. His address for a number of years will be Texas Petroleum Cos., Apartado No. 267, Caracas, Venezuela.

Among the participants in the Philadelphia Bulletin's outboard motor boat races on the Schuykill River, Independence Day, was DeanWorcester. Don't know how he made out then, but on Labor Day, 1947, he won the Pennsylvania State short course championship in Harrisburg. When not outboarding or skiing, Dean is busy as a Naval architect.

We received word, too late for our last pre-summer column, that Miss Eunice Alberts of Brookline, Mass., has become engaged to Dean Nicholson Joan Aldrich and JohnKnowlton were married in New York City on June 19. Fred Mechlin was an usher

Many of us who had to look around for vacation spots this past summer can consider, with vicarious pleasure, the set-up of Bill Niss, who is with the Bath Iron Works, in Bath, Me. As Bill wrote, "It's interesting to be living in the very heart of vacationland. While reading in the papers about heat waves and humidity throughout the country, we experience the most ideal summer weather here. By way of getting on Maine's coastal activities, I am skipper of a Sea Scout Ship having a 36-foot motor life boat for cruising (and an infinite number of hours of dirty work) and an eager group of boys."

Even the most sedentary land-lubber can sympathize with the plight of Rich Taylor who spent months of hard work building his own sail boat (dimensions and other specifications on request). The last time we saw Rich and Dodie, they were getting over the disappointment of having "dunked" their craft during a race on Long Island Sound. Rich was more upset by this bit of maritime humiliation than by the loss of his wallet as he dunked himself in the salt. However, his laments were soon turned into song by the rest of the gang gathered at Ruth and EdBrooks' place for an outdoor evening.

This box lunch outing at the Brookses brought together as many '36ers from New York and lower Connecticut as short-notice publicity could: Lillian and Roy Adams, Joe Davis, Ruth and Norm Simon, Yumi and Jack Smith, Betty and John Mallory, Ruth and Jacko Morrison, Dot and Herb Beskind, Kay and Paul Lynch, Jerri and Ray Builter, Connie Harras and Gene Anspach, Theo and Bob Prentice, Dodie and Rich Taylor, Pic and Norb Hofman, Later on in the evening, Rod Ladd and his wife joined in on one of the longest and loudest old-time songfests we've ever heard. Ruth and Ed were wonderful hosts—and when next summer comes around, we hope more of you can be on hand.

"There is little in the life of an inveterate but unwilling bachelor that can be reported," writes Jack Patrick, who knows whereof he speaks. From his well-guarded diary, Jack quotes: "Several months ago when in San Francisco, I went out to Maison (Lou) Marsten late in the evening where a large party had thinned down to the heavy drinkers. Among this group were Dr. and Mrs. StanOgush." We know for a fact that the Ogushes recuperated, for our scouts in Hanover reported seeing them at the Inn around July 7 Incidentally, other lucky summer visitors to Hanover were Brad Chase, TonyMuello, Mr. and Mrs. Don Erion, Mr. and Mrs. Colson Hillier, and Paul Hessler.

Flash from Ren Ostrom on the Coast—West, that is: "Bob Morris was elected to the State Democratic Committee. I did not vote for him."

Ralph Hillyer, on the staff of the Julliard School of Music, is a member of the Julliard String Quartet which gave two concerts at Tanglewood at the Berkshire Music Center this past" summer. Ralph was for several years a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra; and in 1946, with the permission of Serge Koussevitsky, he joined the Julliard String Quartet, organized on a non-commercial basis to stimulate in America "the development of chamber music in keeping with the highest ideals and the noblest traditions."

All of you, we trust, have received the mailing from Al Gibney, concerning the disposition of the Class Memorial Fund. And we hope you've studied the report, indicated your preference and returned the postcard to Gib. You'll be kept informed about this activity.

We haven't held back any mail. So, please drop us a line.... and help fill up the box.
