1934
On the practical premise that you're only middle-aged once and you might as well enjoy that middle-age while you have it, this department kind of overdid things on New Year's Eve. Oh it started out mildly enough, as those deals usually d0.... . but, what with a short snort here and a snort short there, and here an oink there an oink everywhere an oinkoink, before you could eye a bat it was a case of who-threw-the-Overholt-in-Mrs. Murphy'schowder! So away we went, ringing welkins for all we were worth and carrying our friend Brannigan piggy-back at one and the same timel Ah yes, 'twas quite an evening. But that's not why we came here tonight.
Instead we'd like to skip over to The Aftermath. Because once the tumult had died down, and peace had returned again to our little valley, and someone had ryely observed of Master 1948 that we had outworn his welcome, and someone else, speaking in the triple-sec tongue of Champagne, Ill, had moaned that he knew all along he'd have to pay the penalty—he remembers hearing a horn on the play; well once all this had happened, we got to thinking. Sobering thoughts they were, and heavily larded with resolutions. Resolutions revolving about a tighter, righter Class of 1934, with all those loose ends neatly tied and with those broken promises painstakingly patched. Yep, we're gonna do our level best in 1948. And by Geo., maybe you more relatively uncommunicative chaps have done some resolving too. Put them all together they spell Dartmouth, a word that means the world to each.
Even just a short sentence is mighty welcome; it let's the guys know you're there. Take this one from Hod Clark, for instance; "No news—same old wife, home, job, kids, salary." Or this from Lex Paradis: "Sorry no newsjust trying to keep up with old man inflation." Buzz Edson's welcome word says "Nothing new with us—but that's the way I like it." While Ed Corson's is shortest-sweet of all:
"No news is good news." See what we mean? Of course where there is news we are espe- cially hopeful of hearing from you, and the more details the better. We'd like some pictures, too. You know—a bunch of '34 set ux at a picnic, or attending the shindig at the local Dartmouth Club; stuff like that. Okay? Okay.
And now folks, if you'll kindly step in a little closer we'll tell ya wot we're gonna do. See that magic carpet over there? That's right, the same jeepy jet job that enabled us to visit Hanover with John Foley last month. Well we're all going to climb aboard that winged Wilton and we're going to fly all over these here United States. Come to a place of interest we'll circle for a spell while we spout about it. Set? But Great Day, first we need a pilot! BillGilmore, you're still at liberty while you coolly cast about for exactly the job to fit your unusual store of talents, how about taking the controls of our Turkish Terror during the trip. Ready roll 'em this is a take!
As we spiral up into the wide blue we spot the spires of New York's Columbia University where Howie Linton is Librarian o£ their East Asiatic Collections, a plenty full-time job. Now we straighten out and head south, pausing long enough over another set of spires to peer at Stan Smoyefs and Dick Poisson's home grounds of Princeton, from which Stan commutes to his desk in the legal department of Johnson & Johnson in New Brunswick and Dick travels to Philadelphia and his spot as secretary-treasurer of International Electronics Cos. The Smoyers plan a week of skiing in Woodstock soon and promise to check up on things at Hanover.
Next we dip our warps (or is it doff our woofs?) in greeting to Washington, D. C., which is where Stu Barber was when he wrote:
"I am still happily trying to get the Navy to note, and do something about, some of the lessons of the war, with particular reference to aviation. It is not what I would call a productive process to date, but I don't know any place where the opportunities for doing gOod are greater."
Truer words were never spoken, Stu. Let's hope the Army has a parallel program as well organized as yours.
It isn't much out of our way to Louisville, where ole Billy Embry keeps on working for the College in several ways, not the least of which is presidenting the Dartmouth Club there. And now it's a graceful glide to Memphis where Phil Glazer writes:
"Have watched the Big Green anxiously this fall. Looks like the team could use some Stangles, Hulsarts, Baldwins, Frankels, Powerses, etc. Still single—getting bald and looking forward to getting to Hanover one of these days."
Looks like they could have used some Glazers too, Phil. But wait till next year.
Well look, lads. As this is a special Alumni Fund issue space is hard to come by, and so we'll have to halt our jumpy junket in midflight. But before we go, to give the lie to our opening unveiled reference to 1934 and the march of time, we proudly announce that the top two rankings on the very successful Dartmouth Club of New York squash team are currently held by our own Bob Mann and IrvDiamond. Trump that, '47!
Until next month then, us and the carpet will be up here in the yonder, treadin' air. See ya'.
