1933
One of the big disadvantages of having one man serve as secretary of a large class over a period of years is that his sources of information tend in time to boil down to a faithful few who feed him news about the same people, with the result that some individuals are reported on over and over again and others are seldom, if ever, mentioned. For a couple of years we have thought that it would be a good idea to get around this by putting the finger on various men in different parts of the country who would be asked to take over the notes for one month as guest editors. This idea has unfortunately suffered the fate of many good ideas, namely, that we have never gotten around to acting upon it. Quite by chance, however, we have something this month that meets these specifications in an ideal way.
We did not put the finger on Jus Stanley to do this job. He just did it out of the goodness of his heart. Responding to our anguished wails for news he wrote us a wonderful letter, in which he reports on a large number of '33s in and around Chicago. Come in, Mr. Guest Editor:
"Leigh and I see Hunter and Marjorie Hicks frequently. They live north in the Inverness section of Palatine, where Way and Barbara Thompson are their neighbors. Hunter has changed in appearance the least of any of our classmates that I see. Moreover, he continues to be a fine golfer. This summer he lost the finals of his club championship but his friends lay the blame to the fact that he lost a decisive hole when the wind blew his ball off the tee after he had started his down swing. (That happens to us all the time, but our friends point out that we make the wind that blows it off.-Ed.) In Wisconsin, where he and Marjorie visited us during vacation, he played one round at the well known Thunder Mountain Ranch course of Nelson and Ellsworth Buck '14, and turned in the best amateur round made on the course during the entire summer. Way probably plays better golf than he did in College but he is still a few strokes above Hunter. Way is in the real estate business in and about Palatine and Hunter is head of the Merchants Steel and Supply Company of Chicago.
''Bob Critchell is a generous and active supporter of Dartmouth activities who, two years ago, was President of the local group. He still dresses with a nattiness that belies his Deke affiliation, he has a son who is a fine young athlete, he lives north in Winnetka and he sells insurance almost anywhere. I eet to see Don and Katy Wood far less often than I would like. Don, also, is in insurance, with the firm of Childs and Wood.
"Bill Hoffman, as you probably know, has left Boy's Latin School, where he was athletic director, and is now in the insurance business. Bill is much the same as he always was, friendly and constantly cheerful. We often work together in interviewing applicants for admission to Dartmouth and I am invariably impressed with the feeling of ease and good will which he seems to generate in those meetings.
"Lynn Schollenburger used to be in town but he left for Elkhardt, Ind., a few years ago and I have not seen him since. I have seen Gus Babson twice in the past year, looking anything but thin. Once was at lunch (we were not together unfortunately) and once at church. In order to place that last in proper perspective, I would like to point out that it was Easter Sunday. That reminds me, as indeed it should, of Father Ted Pur cell, who is now a. Jesuit and from what I hear has just received his Ph.D. from Harvard. Ted joined Leigh and me for dinner one night last spring (with Dave Kirby '32 at ux) and spoke then as if he might teach_ at Loyola next year. We had a wonderful _ evening with him and naturally hope that he will settle here again.
"John Rockwell has undertaken the big job of heading up all interviewing in the Chicago area this coming year and the local Association considers itself (and properly so) lucky to get him. John has done other backbreaking work for the Association and for the Class and has always done it well. He is a lawyer and a partner in the firm of Hastings, Snyder and Rockwell.
"Charley Siege, looking somewhat gray but otherwise the same, appears once in a while at the same time that I do at the Bar Association library. John Alder, who seems to be younger than he should be, is usually in evidence at the Dartmouth Night cocktail party or annual dinner. I get to see Bob Woodcock more frequently than I do either John or Charley. He is with Marshall Field & Company and is giving a good account of himself in a strong organization.
"Chicago draws visitors from all directions and occasionally we get to see balding and learned Dick Jackson, who carries the legal affairs of the Boston & Maine Railroad around with him, and Pete Grace, up from St. Louis with his signs. Pete hasn't lost a hair but he has gotten into the awful habit of moving every year in order to accommodate the latest addition to his family. At the latest count, it was either six or seven. It would seem to me that when you get into that bracket one or two more or less wouldn't matter too much—although Pete is right—there is always that extra room to provide.
"Not too long ago I had a pleasant phone call from Judge Doscher from Nyack, N. Y. Since it was about 2:30 A.M. in Chicago when our conversation started, you can figure that at times, at least, the Judge is still in good form. So far as I am concerned, a call from Dosch is always good, day or night.
"I saw Ken Weeman in Newark, where he is now working for Bambergers, and in New York for dinner when I was in the East briefly. Ken seems fine. He is trim as usual and maintains his same loyal interest in Dartmouth and his friends there.
"Hal Mackey was in Hanover for an hour or so in August when I was there. At the time I saw him he was rushing into the Inn dining room before the lunch hour was over but he did take time to tell me that Jack Smart lived on a farm. While I saw Hal only briefly, I am quite sure I did not dream up that stuff about a farm."
Jus is quite right. Jack is living on a farm, in Connecticut, we believe. We'll have a report from him one of these days, we hope. Speaking of Connecticut, the John S. Monagans recently reported the birth of a son Michael, born September 28.
Our special thanks to Jus for a swell report on Chicago. We hope that his example will move someone in Minneapolis, Washington, New York, Cleveland, St. Louis, Houston and other points to pull up to a typewriter and do likewise.
