1942
This, men, is going to be short and per haps to the point. Considering the fact that I have, at this writing, the great ancestor of all colds and that the editor of this periodical is suffering from a chronic condition, Farleyitis, or deadline breaking, I've no time for fol-de-rol.
Two birth announcements are first. One is from Rosemary O'Brien, announcing the arrival in the Dick O'Brien household of Leslie, weight seven pounds, four ounces. She joins her sister, Isabel, aged 15 months. The O'Briens became four on September 2 and the household address is 26 Duff Street, Watertown, Mass. Rosemary thoughtfully adds the additional information that Dick is woring for the National Foundation for Infanti e Paralysis, being the representative in chusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. e maintains, she adds, offices in both Hart or and Boston.
The second announces the birth of Sarah Anne Erwin on September 12 to Mr. andMrs. Jim Erwin. The place: York Village, Me. No statistics on weight.
The last bit o£ regular mail is from the tireless Lippman. If you kiddies remember, last month we left Dick en route to Washington, D. C., to manage the office there of a convention decorating outfit. This month we find him, after outwitting the villains, in Toledo, Ohio, where he is associated with the Sam Davis company, which does such divergent things as moving and warehousing: merchandising coal; operating apartments; and developing real estate. Lip says he is either sales manager, sales promotion manager, advertising manager—take your pick. At any rate, it all adds up to the fact that he's supposed to increase business. Well, get in there and move, warehouse, merchandise, operate and develop, Lip!
And now four envelopes of clips from the ALUMNI MAGAZINE office. The first, somewhat dusty, dates back to August. On opening it, I find that we have added yet another graduate to our ranks, at this late date. He is Carl E. Zeller, who received the A.B. degree from Dartmouth in June, 1950, thereby earning the sweepstakes for perseverance.
Another, dated April 14 (my, that's a long time ago, isn't it?), says that Jim Thompson (James 8., Jr., that is), received his doctor of philosophy degree in geology from MIT in February, and has been promoted to assistant professor at Harvard.
Now here's one date April 28, which is more up-to-date. It says that Harold C.Harlow Jr.; director of relief in Greece for the Congregational Christian Service and chairman of the social welfare department of Pierce College in that country, was to have joined the faculty of Springfield (Mass.) College in September. He will be assistant professor of sociology and group work.
An April 4 clipping—we are retrogressingsays that Huntley Allison and Miss Virginia Perry Schauffler? daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Klock Schauffler, were engaged to be married in September. Huntley was then listed as the secretary of the Bristed-Manning Travel Service.
A spring wedding was planned, according to the April 1 clipping announcing the engagement of Miss TTina E. Paladino, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Joseph S. Paladino of West Hartford, Conn., to Robert Walter Conwell Shoup. Bob, to shorten the handle a bit, was then manager of the Autographic Register Company.
A last paragraph tagged on the end of the Herald-Trib's account of John Teal's wedding on May 7, previously reported here, is of some interest. (In case it wasn't previously reported here, Mrs. T. is the former Penelope Lancaster Holden of New Canaan, Conn.) Anyway, John, the clip says, was awarded this spring a traveling fellowship from the Carnegie Foundation and an honorary fellowship from the American-Scandinavian Foundation, to complete a year's research, an anthropological and political survey of the Scandinavian Arctic.
Now here's an August envelope of clips. A July N. Y. Times bit relates the appointment of Bob Crane as a member of the Union County (N. J.) Park commission. Another tells of the receipt of an LL.B. degree by Andy Wood from Yale University Law School in June. And in this envelope we have confirmation of the Paladino-Shoup nuptialsthey took place May 21 in West Hartford, Conn.
Other marriages are those of Miss Beryl Mary Byrne of St. John, N. 8., to DonaldPrescott Wright of Haverhill, Mass., at Haverhill, July 7 (Don is on the staff of the Haverhill Public Library); Joan Dean Blanchard to William H. Gray, both residents of Pelham, N. Y., at Pelham, June 23 (Will is associated with his father's firm, William A. Gray, insurance brokers); and Lucille Anderson of Chicago to Robert C. Brower Jr. of Canton, 0., in July at Chicago.
The announcement of the engagement of Miss Marion Hubbard Kane of West Hartford, Conn., to Orin Curtiss Witter, also of West Hartford, was divulged in a clipping from the Hartford Times, June 24. He is associated with Cushman Chuck Company.
Other graduate degrees snared by '42s in June were two more from Harvard—GuySwenson, an LL.B.; and Stan Wyatt, a Ph.D. from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Elmer Leo Crehan was awarded the degree of Master of Business Administration by the University of Minnesota, also in June. Another note says that John Furth is now associated with the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company as a life underwriter in Portland, Me.
August Hanover Inn visitors included Mr.and Mrs. Lloyd R. Bishop and son from Albuquerque, N. M.
In a September envelope—now we're really getting modern—comes the news of the appointment of Dr. John D. Wright Jr. of Newton, Mass., as Assistant Professor of History at Transylvania College. John garnered his Master's and Doctorate at Columbia, where he studied under Henry Steele Commager.
Oh yes, the Schauffler-Allison wedding, I learn from a clip dated August 19, was set for September 9, at Pelham Manor. I can't give you any more recent information than that, though.
August Inn visitors were Mr. and Mrs. DickRiggs from Oklahoma City, Okla. And, in September, Phil Brooks, from Hastings-onHudson, N. Y., Billy Lowenthal from Forest Hills, N. Y., Thomas Howell, Chicago, Ill., and Mr. and Mrs. Chuck Close, Perina, Ohio.
A note from George Rushton asks: "What happened to my old roomie, Frank W. Schoch of Grosse Pointe, Mich.?" Although I'm a transplanted Grosse Pointer (and glad to get away from the place, too), George, I can't tell you offhand. The last Schoch address I can remember seeing is a Maine one. I'll look it up for you, though. (My, what good touch football games we used to have on the Schoch back yard, an expanse only slightly larger than the Mall.)
That cleans out the cupboard, as far as I can tell.
