1944

I've just returned from the Columbia game and I must say that those splendid hunks of granite from the hills certainly do warm the heart (if they could only learn to do the same with the fees). However, the battery of my soul has been recharged for scribing secretarial folderol.

I recently received a tear sheet of last month's column.... and while I'm afraid that's just what it ought to be .... torn I would like to correct an error. It is MacCORNER and not Mac MORSE who was up in NY selling U.S. Bridges Mac Morse is piloting down in Dallas.

We haven't spoken about Will Sporleder in a long while. Will, who managed many of our school publications, is now with the Ford Motor Company in Norfolk, Va. Refusing to use such words as "gear" or "wheel," I shall just say that I hear he is doing a swell job in the Truck Department. From Boston and John Hahvad comes word that Dick Allen received a Master's in Art last June, WinMartin picked up a Master's in Business Administration, and that lawyers were made of Rolf de Leuw, John Murphy, and Steve Tate.Dick Meyer is still at Harvard working in the museum of comparative zoology .... that's a good spot for it: he can go out in the yard at lunch hour and do research.

Also to do with 805t0n.... Dick Ostberg severed the cable with Otis elevator and migrated with the Homburg to Bean Town where he'll take on personnel operations for Employers Mutual. Dr. Brad Campbell is up there, the House officer at the Boston Lying-in Hospital. Jack Riley is going to take another hockey team abroad this year.

Jim "Huck" Finn is with the Texas Company in New York handling Latin American sales Earl Greenwood is with the same outfit, an industrial salesman down in Bloomsburg, Pa Dan Holley is in Hudson Falls, a statistician, still trying to prove why poor ol' Harry Truman should be back raking leaves in Independence The unlonely ranger, Bob Hyde is down in Valley Forge with his pretty wife: Bob is a forester with the Pa. Dept. of Forests and Waters and lives on Oakwood Lane Lawyer MikeIves, who as we mentioned is with the National Labor Relations Board in Washington, has just moved within shoveling distance of John L. Lewis in Alexandria. Marsh Clark, having been served up with enough midwestern hospitality in Chi, has returned to the quietude of NYC advertising.

I caught prosperous looking Don Currier and his cute wife Frannie at the Yale game. ... . Don's old running mate, Johnny Lesher, is still out in Centralia, Washington, doing terrible things with big trees.

Dick Kanter is selling for the Albert Freed Company in New York. The next time your kitchen linoleum starts to buckle call on DonComes.... he is now an industrial sales engineer with Armstrong Cork. And speaking about Dons, we wafted into Don Pfeifle, HalCannon, and Mike Costa at Louise Jr.'s this evening Mike was holding the damn place up. Bob Remer is back in NYC at the Eye and Throat Hospital with Dr. Blood .... his ol' roomie, Jim Locke is winding up medical studies in the Big Town.

After several successful years in advertising, Tank Bruce started reading the WallStreet Journal, and is now assistant to the president of some financial concern I heard what type of work he is doing but the words were so big I didn't understand it.

Every so often the alumni office sends us changes of addresses and they frequently supplement this information with a word or two about what the fellow is doing. When Merle Hagen's new address in Syracuse came through, they had "Student-Assistant." That sounds exactly like what about 90% us should have had during those awkward years starting in 1940.

I don't believe I have mentioned that Ed,Knight is now a lawyer in Charlestown, W. Va. Karl Sorg is still studying law, but should be cajoling juries before long. Gene Kinney, assistant to the Vice President of Zenith Radio, has had their latest radio-phonograph model named "The Dartmouth" ... . and it looks like a honey. Last month I said that Bill Foye was "studying" at U. of Wisconsin the fact is that after successful work as research chemist for DuPont, Bill was made an assistant professor at the school of pharmacy there in fact, Bill is one of those rare '44s with a Ph.D.

With all the sloppy notoriety that the College has received in the past year, the administration has seen fit to clean things up and teach the boys how to do a nice, neat job. Ross McKenney is leading a "rec" class in axemanship, fire-building, and marksmanship.

Warren Kimball has been whacking the golf ball around for a couple of trophies this summer, and on rainy days gets after a successful departmentstore layout business. Charlie Mottola, who as a freshman wouldn't open a book lest he be attacked by a book worm, just passed his bar exams.... with still a full term of law school to go. Not only has he been admitted to the Superior Court, but he has been appointed Editor-in-Chief of the University Editorial Board on the Georgia State Bar Journal. To quote the good Mel Allen, "How about THAT!"

You'll all be glad to know that SperkWelch is a poppa. Little Deborah Ann was born September 26. Congratulations! Stealing the romantic limelight from the Veep, Charlie Fitzgerald and Anne Evory took the vows in Albany October 8, and Dr. PaulCarroll made known plans to tread the carpet with Natalie Cole (no relation to the King's trio) on January 7 in Columbus, O.

Bob Callan, Mr. and. Mrs. Weem DreamEpply, the Dave McGuires, the Don Evans, the Bob Linseys and the Jack Lawrences were featured at the Hanover Inn last month.

My very best wishes that this will be a very merry and happy Christmas for all of you.
