1938

A year ago at this time, I made the rather acute observation to myself as the result of factors other than my arteries that 1938 was getting old. Having looked in on the Statler Bar Harvard weekend on Friday night, I was amazed at my erstwhile stamina and exuberance to think I could have gone through such a rugged performance four times in my college career without, I hope, permanent damage to the constitution. The same sort of experience met me again this year. Aside from the familiar sight of C. F. Tesreau and R.Jones of the Lebanon social set in the lobby, the scene was one of utter, mad confusion.

The Class of 1938's more conservative doings were centered at the Somerset before the game, where Charley Hitchcock had arranged a very congenial luncheon for those members of the class interested. Among the faithful present were: Maestro Hitchcock, StearnsMacNutt, Bob Egelhoff, Frank Brett, ParkerBrownell, Pres Downer (from the Pacific Coast just for the game, he claimed), DannyMarshall, Bob Reno, Morgan Marshall, Brad,Jenkins, Art Soule, Boit Wiswall. At the game, down under the stadium I ran into Coke Barton, while near me in those seats reserved for us Big Shots was Jack Lutz. At Brett's after the game were: Fran Reilly, Jim Chandler,Jim Miller.

The following weekend I managed to sneak out of this monastery to go down for the Yale game and back the same afternoon. Between the halves I hurried over to the Dartmouth side (having seats with a Yale faculty member has its disadvantages) but was unlucky in spotting any 19385; ran into Brad Jenkins, but couldn't locate any large group of the class anywhere. Where were you all? Up in the stands still gloating?

Quote of the month is from a column entitled "Day by Day," syndicated in various local papers; this screed starts off: "SeymourEllis, handsome young executive of a powerful cigaret company, takes his responsibilities about as nonchalantly as anybody who might be responsible for no more than a horse and buggy. He sits on the edge of a chair, carelessly, hands and shoulders relaxed, and smiles a great deal as conversation progresses." The article concludes: "There is no such thing as a stuffed shirt from Dartmouth, and there is a gentlemanly comradeship that is difficult for many men to achieve." Thank Squee for this fine tribute to the Alma Mater.

In the academic and medical world, 1938 marches on. "Joseph Douglas Carroll Jr., of Cambridge, Mass., has been appointed a resident director of the University of Michigan social science research project in Flint." From Indiana State Teachers' College: "Also in the field of Biology is Dr. Richard C. Jones. He will teach the sophomore biology required course, and an elective course in Human Biology. He received an M.S. degree from the University of New Hampshire, and a Ph.D. in Botany from Washington State College." From the Meadville, Pa., Trib-Repub: "Dr. UlyssesS. Wharton, who has served as Crawford County's deputy coroner since August, 1947, said Thursday that he plans to give up his practice here within a week. Dr. Wharton, his wife and their 3-year-old daughter, Patricia Gail, will go to Washington, D. C., where Dr. Wharton returns to the Howard University School of Medicine to complete requirements for board in internal medicine. He served his interneship as assistant, and his residency at Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D. C., then served the U. S. Navy as a Lieutenant (j-g) in the Medical Corps for two years during World War II. He was on active duty in the Pacific Area for 15 months." The Rev. Roy Chamberlin Jr. is reported as active in adult Christian Education for Parents in Nyack, N. J., teaching a course entitled "Teaching Religion in the Home."

Captain Charley Hathaway writes from Pine Lawn, Mo.: "If you are reasonably desperate for news, you may publish a bit of news about yours truly (I'm always desperate for news JHE). After seven years in the Army, I am working hard and taking a dim view of world events. The Army Finance Department is definitely a great place to be. Just now I am Chief of the Determinations Branch of the Family Allowance Division of the Army Finance Center here in St. Louis. We pay the allowances to dependents of enlisted men in the Army and the Air Force. It's a most interesting assignment. Our expenditures "are huge—some $25,000,000 a month.

"Let's try to cajole the recalcitrants into sending some news. We are all too stingy with material for the Class Notes. Waiting to make the 'ln Memoriam' department is hardly fair to the rest of the class."

Still on the subject of the Army Forces, MajorWilliam Charles Chamberlin, U. S. Marine Corps, now living in Arlington, Va., welcomed his first daughter on October 12. The major has a seven year old son. Bill has been serving in Judge Advocate's Department of the Navy in Washington." —such is a postcard, following out my suggestion that it's easy to drop a card to me.

Charles R. Ferryman, M.D., Assistant Professor of Radiology, remarks: "Charlene and I have decided that Dartmouth needs more football material. With these two features in mind, we are proud to announce the arrival of two future Dartmouth candidates on April 29 of this year. We plan to move to Baton Rouge, La. after the first of the year I am enrolling the boys in the class of 1969."

Danny Marshall dropped another card: "Just supped with Bob 'lke' Owen, Lynchburg, Va.'s gem to the class of '38. Bob is up here (Boston) on a leather-buying trip for Craddock-Terry Shoe Corp. He reports the pig, won at reunion, is a great, healthy beast Bob plans to marry her off this fall to a local swain, none of whom have half the background suitable for a Dartmouth pig. All are cordially invited to the wedding."

Still from Boston: "Any Boston '3Bers are to let me (Bill Ganter) know their addresses if they want to be notified of our Regular Monthly Luncheons the first "Wednesday of each month at Rosofrs at noon. "We had eight today (6 Oct.): Brett, MacNutt, Miller (Jim), Fuller, Blanchard, Hitchcock,Stoughton, myself (again Ganter)."

Erstwhile scribe von Pechmann: "This summer saw Sandy Mills—still with Mills Metal Partitions and apparently prospering. Also saw Tom and PegMcGrath Tom's with Avon cosmetics, bought himself a very attractive house in Evanston, Ill. same for cy MacKinnons, except they bought theirs in Winnetka. I don't know just what you'd call Cy, except that he s the labor spokesman and arbiter ror a group of employers in the printing business. Had a couple of confabs with Dick Keresey, who was doing some special work for one of the partners in his law firm, who handles Time, Inc. legal headaches. We moved to Jersey a couple of weeks ago. I am in charge of our Newark office, supervising marine business in the state. Sorry to leave Syracuse, but think it's great here."

A curt form from the Alumni Office records the bare fact that on October 9, Frank T. Frey. Class of 1938, married, Milwaukee, to Jean Wanvig Duncan, this listed under "Other items of interest." "Origin and date of information": Announcement 10/48. The efficiency of the Alumni Records Office appalls one.

Paul Feakins, of whom I have heard nothing (not even bad) for a long time is reported as with W. R. Grace & Co. in New York and living in Morristown (1 Washington Ave.), N. J. In case you didn't know it, Grace still runs those ferries to the West Indies. Alex Jones is with Elmer P. Scott Co., Drapery Converting, 40 Worth St., N.Y.C. and living at Apt. B-2, 150 Tryon Ave., Englewood, N. J. Marsh Land is Industrial Relations Manager with Revere Copper and Brass Inc., 2626 Kansas Ave., Riverside, Calif, and living at 3555 Oakwood Place, same town. Dick Lewis, for whom my research assistants could find neither mention nor address, is confirmed to be President of E. P. Lewis & Sons, Inc. (Candy) and living at Locksley Rd., Lynnfield, Mass.

Bob Tomlinson is a General Contractor in Bridgeport, Conn, and lives at 219 Housatonic Drive, Devon, Conn. Alfred W. Brown Jr. is a Pharmacist in Hingham, Mass. (2 Weston St.) Pres Downer, the kid from California, is a student at Pratt Institute, as reported previously, as I recall. Alex Wilson is Asst. Treasurer of Andrew Wilson Co. in Lawrence, Mass., living at 18 Carisbrooke St., Andover, Mass.

If you think these notes are too short, do something about it. Remember it's easy to drop a postcard in the Bearded Uncle's mail boxes.
