1938
By the time this screed hits the newsstands, the Harvard Game will have become a matter of record, as will 1938's annual pre-game get-together, and the Yale fracas will be coming up with all the attendant possibilities of reuning in the shadow of the Gloomy Bowl. All of which brings up in the mind of this correspondent the question briefly posed last month of the chances of an off-year reunion of some kind during the summer months.
I had written to the various members of the Executive Committee of the Class suggesting that a meeting of that august body be held sometime this fall to discuss this matter among others, but failing to get a response from them, it is about time to throw the question open to the class as a whole. Briefly, if you have any bright ideas on the following, let me know: When, Where lis there any member of the class with hotel or other resort "connections"), and how many would be interested? Any proposed location should, of course, be as nearly central to Boston and New York as possible, since those two areas are the ones from which attendance would primarily be drawn. Address all communiques to me, and I'll try to weed them out and take action if enough people are interested.
Ray Berquist, personnel man for American Cyanamid, has moved from Englewood to Cranford, N. J., but continues in the same capacity as far as business activities are concerned. M err ell Condit, who assisted in the Admissions Office of Alma Mater last year, has now transferred his residence back home to Maplewood, N. J., where he has resumed his teaching career (he formerly taught at Cranbrook School in Michigan before he came back to Hanover and the Ad. Bldg.).
Rumor hath it from one of the small urchins who attends this institution of correction and education and who has the unfortunate fate of living on Long Island, that Larry Hull's move from Levit-burg to Chicago betokens an advance in position and responsibility. Dartmouth's greatest intramural athlete is still, however, with Shell Oil but not presently operating Soap Box Derbies.
Marsh Land has moved from Riverside, Calif, back to more civilized surroundings in Rome, N. Y., where he continues his work with Revere Copper and Brass, a change from Industrial Relations to Assistant Sales Manager.
Werner Schmidt, last reported from Germany, has now returned to this country and is in the Mortgage Department of Aetna Life in Hartford, Conn. Moving from the Glidden Paint Company to the Garlock Packing Cos., but remaining as Kalamazoo representative is Ed Thomas, who must have a fondness for the celery and stove center of the Midwest.
From bus driver to manager of the Bus Terminal at Terre Haute, Ind., goes Ed Belknap, and a fascinating business it undoubtedly is, judging from what I have seen in the good old Short Line Terminal in Providence (particularly in this case when the fleet is in Newport). Getting further West, George Erhard has joined the Maler Plumbing Cos. in Arcadia, Calif. One of the least-mentioned members of the class is probably Dr. John R.McGreevy, who is now stationed at the Marine Hospital in Norfolk, Va. According to the records I have, little has been heard from the good doctor since 1940, except that he received the B.A. degree from Wesleyan and was married in Daytona Beach, Fla., to Peggy Cecile Hammer. If Dr. McGreevy has a spare moment, news of more detailed nature would be welcome.
It is not the intention of this department to over-emphasize the New Hampshire legal, criminal and political scene, but it must be mentioned, at least in passing, that the said scene takes on even more 1938 color with the announcement that Robert A. Jones of Lebanon has again filed as candidate for the Republican nomination as Grafton Country solicitor for the September primaries. This news is of course now published long after the election has taken place, and since the Hanover Gazette and other North Country newspapers of note are not generally distributed in Newport (which has its own political problems), the results of the primary campaign have not yet filtered this way. Mr. Jones is chairman of the Lebanon Republican committee and moderator for the Lebanon Precinct and Lebanon Water Works. He has served as an officer in the Guyer-Carignan post of American Legion and is a member of the state and national committee on law enforcement of the American Legion.
Before winding up with the latest address changes for your little black book, it should be publicized that the evershrinking ranks of the courageous bachelors have shrunk even more with the defection of New York's wellknown boulevardier, Blaine Mallory. A terse article in the Herald-Tribune announces the marriage of Mr. Blaine Wright Mallory to Mrs. Helen Bersbach McCornick of Stamford, Conn., on September 28. Mrs. Mallory is a graduate of the Shipley School and was a member of the Junior League of Chicago. She has three children. The couple will live in Darien, Conn.
From the Boston propaganda bureau (W. Ganter, prop.) comes news of a dinner held at Rosoff s on September 6. Among those present, including the faithful Ganter: RogBuffinton, Bill Main, Herb Christiansen,Charley Main, Art Soule, Gil Small, FrankBrett, Bob McConeghy and Howie Moulton. Hoping to see most of the above before the annual affair at Soldiers' Field, I shall merely record that Christiansen is now welcomed back to the Boston Area as Assistant Manager of the Forest Hills bulk plant for Gulf Oil. Hitchcock, according to the report from Ganter, is now in Hartford as Resident Engineer for Metcalf & Eddy.
