1934
Speaking of Indians, the Dartmouth variety encamped in the vicinity of Worcester has been forced to emulate that famous impecunious aborigine, Lo (not '34), by going underground, or at least appearing in public cheering for the Curry School of Expression or Bing Crosby's Yoo-Hoo U. Accustomed as we are to a calm but forceful discussion of the relative merits, academically and athletically, of our school, it is useless to attempt to face the genus Holy Cross in full cry. Veterans of previous combat say that the present condition lasts only until HC drops their first one when the boys will promptly turn the hose on the coach and we can once again sit with dignity before the bar. But enough of the bar, we took care of the lawyers last month.
TUMBLEWEED DEPT Proving not only a football takes some funny bounces ....Major Tim Inglis is back stateside and now receives his mail at the Tactics Dept., Fort Bcnning, Ga Bill Gilmore is in Scottsdale, Ariz., and has resumed his old trade of piloting sky buses Let Littlefield has an address, albeit temporary, in Paris where he is with the Arts and Letters Division of UNESCO (UNESCO!—you know) Dick Hayes has jumped to St. Louis where he is branch manager for his firm, Merck & Cos and if you think Gulliver traveled, you should see the record of Herb Hawkes who is now in Golden, Colo, which sounds like a good place for a geologist to be... . also a good place from which to start the next Alumni Fund campaign which reminds me!
In this league we are not supposed to preach and it is certainly true that any effort here would drive many contemporary Hanover associates into violent hysterics. So it is fitting only to point out the standing of this group in the recent effort. It all depends upon the viewpoint, of course, as the dirty, bedraggled laborer found when his better half accused him of loafing in a nice cool sewer all day while she slaved over a hot "sthove," but to finish last in such a group is worse than the fate which is worse than death.
VITAL STATISTICS this month, as for several months, brief—are you guys getting timid? .... Mary Elizabeth O'Connell of Highland Park, Ill., has seen fit to espouse one John Daniels O'Brien, service manager of Sylvania Electric Products in Chicago and more power to the each of 'em, Mary, Jack and Sylvania .... and in this department perhaps we can consider the first record of Dr.C. Lawrence Holt, who left Hanover in 1932 to graduate from that place in Cambridge whose name escapes me at the moment, and from Harvard Med., whose name does not. For those fellows who lived, along with Launie, through the whimsical ministrations of Bert Allen in New Hamp., he is nowliving in Falmouth Foreside, Me., and practising in Portland.
NEW YORKESE for the month Flash! .... O'Dwyer leaves NY as Hedges arrivesthe town isn't big enough for both of them. Bill should have waited, for Dave and Ethelyn only came up from Texas for the American Bankers Association convention and assorted activities which included reunion with buddies Gruen, Baldwin, Hulsart, Davies and Hartman From Neenah, Wis. to the big city came Ralph and Jackie Brabbee over Labor Day and it is reported that Ralph is once again being serenaded with the uncertain siren song of the AUS Scherman acknowledges a visit from Hartford trade magazine editor Bill Stowe who left a note at the aforesaid's domicile, stepped on the cat and won a spirited dash to safety from the jaws of the Scherman dog Emile Kluge, unrecorded for some time, was reported in Toots Shor's recently, but not giving pointers on hitting to Big Joe A. E. Kahn '34, hurdler, author and, according to the clipping, a leader of the American peace movement, has splintered a lance on the smooth facade of the State Department whose refusal to grant him a passport will be submitted to the UN Human Rights Commission .... and at the Dartmouth Club on December 8, George Copp announces, 1934 will replay the very successful mixed cocktail party of early this year. Save that date!
MEN OF DISTINCTION, accumulated over some time Les Reeve, formerly with Lazard Fr&res & Cos., has joined Mack Trucks, Inc., as special assistant to the president Tom Clark, for some time now a VP of American Express Company, has been elected vice-president and treasurer and will continue to have charge of the company's investment activities Dick Wells, who at reunion was one of the very few who looked as if he could go a couple of innings at softball, has joined the Minnesota Rubber and Gasket Company as district manager for the eastern seaboard with headquarters in NYC. Our scout reports that the Wells', retreating to Mantoloking, N. J., on vacation, found themselves right next door to Bill and BunnySheffeld all the way from Schenectady Bill Reid, assistant prof at Teachers College of City of Boston, in June received his Ed.M. from Harvard Possibly a repeat, TomCass, in the far-off city of the angels, is now listed as general manager for the Container Corporation of America (you may be interested, Tom, to know that Chick Evans who used to have so much trouble with our four left feet is now head of the physical ed. department and looks as if he could still throw a few) Orv Dryfoos has been appointed to the Disaster Relief Committee of NY chapter of American Red Cross Bob Allabough, of the Paterson, N. J., firm of Evans, Hand and Evans, has been appointed chairman of the Public Relations Committee of the local United Community Chest and Council There are probably others, but we haven't heard about it—you can fix that.
That very fine job, the Directory of Dartmouth '34, has by now reached every one in the class. It reflects the college records on all who appear therein. If there's anything wrong, it's due to the poor quality of crystal ball that the trade is producing these days. Drop us a line and let us correct the condition. Likewise, if you are entranced with the production and would like a spare or two, they are available to a limited extent and ye sec would be glad to oblige (no charge).
So now there is little left but to put on our bib and sit at the feet of the Muse, drooling as Dagmar struts around in that outstanding engineering contribution to the fashion field, the strapless gown. A sad commentary, perhaps, but relaxing to an old fellow who has to face that long walk across the fields of Yale to fight his way through one of those infamous portals. Hoping you are the same!
