1929
It is good to be starting another Alumni Year with praise for the Class and its good and faithful servants. The Class contribution in the Alumni Fund Drive just passed bespeaks credit to all, especially Squeek Redding whose unfailing energy and administrative ability almost put the Class over the top again. The results, though not perfect, were, nevertheless most gratifying. So until another year., it's once again—Thanks, Squeek!
Jack Moxon, Treasurer of the Carpenter Steel Company, with offices in Reading, Pa., confesses:
"We are each year enjoying even more the bucolic life in rural Berks County and can hardly wait until we are in a position to try to do a second Louis Bromfield. That is, on the farming side, not the writing side. Our small son, who attended the 20th Reunion, is now 11 and, at the current writing, intends to be an actor. I don't know whether Dartmouth offers great opportunities along that line, but I have seen certain types of acting accomplish not insignificant results. In general, however, his marks are excellent, and I have hopes that if he so desires he'll be able to attend the old school the same as we did. Our daughter is four, seems to be partly managing the nursery school she attends, and does a fair job managing the whole household."
Jimmie Loveland reports:
"I am now a senior credit supervisor in the motor car section of the personal credit department of The National City Bank of New York. Briefly that means that I'm one of the guys who approves the loans for people who wish to borrow to buy a car or who wish to make a loan for any purpose and use their car as collateral. We have, I believe, the cheapest and best plan in the world, have been of assistance to some of our classmates, and any others who live or work, in New York please take note. Unfortunately, my normal day does not find any classmates crossing my path. However, to my surprise and pleasure Ray Hedger did drop in on me at the bank today. Our visit of necessity was short but he reported his family all well and he himself looked in the pink and as ready as ever for an all night poker session or a swapping of jokes over a glass or two. The enclosed picture was taken two years ago last fall on the Sunday after the Yale game. The gal is my daughter Barbara, now 16, and the gent (?) is a likeness of what I guess other people see when they look at me. However, the location is perhaps more interesting. The picture was taken a few miles north of the Norwich railroad station on the road that runs right along the Connecticut. Loveland Road swings to the west a half mile or so and peters out after passing a couple of houses built by one of the original Lovelands of those parts about 1780-1790. I understand he was well over six feet and had to turn sideways to get through a door. He made his living cutting the tallest and straightest of the trees and floating them down the Connecticut to be masts for ships. He also took time out to help with construction of some of the original college buildings."
Bill Magenau's first report since 1930 (he says) covers a lot of ground:
"Last winter, while in Springfield I went to see a hockey game one evening with Mike and EdnaFerrini. This was the first opportunity I had of seeing their young son who was then approaching one year of age, and he is certainly a wonderful boy. They tell me he never cries or wakes up at night, and both Mike and Edna appear to be well caught up on their sleep.
"jLast rail, 1 took one of my own youngsters to see the Yale game in New Haven, and had the opportunity to chat briefly with both Ed Jeremiah and Bing Carter. Last spring, on a trip to the South, I had a long telephone conversation one evening in Washington with Bob Lyle, whom I haven't seen for about 15 years, and it certainly sounded good to hear his voice again. As previously reported in the MAGAZINE, Bob not long ago was made Headmaster of Sidwell Friends School in Washington. Several days later on my way back, I stopped off for the day and spent several very pleasant hours with Harris and Mrs. Huston at their home in Alexandria. We had a wonderful dinner, played a few records from Harris' mammoth collection, then went to see Faye Emerson in the newly opened Washington Theater. Just as the climax was approaching in the third act, I was obliged to make a hurried exit in order to catch the train back home.
"A couple of weeks ago, at the State Alumni meeting in New Britain, 1 was quite pleased to be able to call by name immediately and without prompting one Red Kimball. His most identifying characteristic is no longer as brilliant as it used to be, although he still has considerable of it. Red is in the insurance business in Meriden and says he will be glad to take on any golfers whether good, bad, or indifferent.
For myself, we have two boys age 9 and 5 who between them are interested in stamps, sports, salt water activities and music lessons, and a baby girl who is almost 2 years old. I do considerable traveling for the Bristol Company in Waterbury."
The New York Times of August 28, reporting the government seizure of the railroads,carried a picture of Eastern Regional Aides discussing railroad operations in the rotunda ofthe Grand Central Terminal and there on theright of this group of four stood Lieut. Col.Laurence W. Lougee, judge advocate. As Larryputs it, "back to high-balling again."
