1936
Now that we're back at fourth estate stuff it's a sure sign that summer is over ... hope you all had a pleasant one and are preparing a long "newsy" letter for us recounting unlimited bits for the column.
Back in June the old professor Chet Young hosted a local '36 fling which could well serve as a model for any area party. We personally showed late, missing the physical courses of goh, baseball, volley ball, etc., but in plenty of time for the social courses of guzzle, ham, lobster and the side dishes. Guys, gals and kids were plentiful and syncopated hereafter is a list of all sexes in attendance.... Ingersolls,Muellos, Langlers, Parkers, Mortons, Weston,Higbees, Stewart, Wentzuorths, Macurdas, Gibneys, Olsons, Dearborns, Coronises, Fitzherberts, Mclnnises and Schorers.. .. While we're still on the subject of June—what about the job Pete Fitzherbert, Joe Cunningham and staff pulled on the Alumni Fund? In our humble opinion these lads deserve a public puff for a capital piece of work and we have it 011 good authority that the skipper and first mate will take the ship out next year, anticipating, of course, that the brethren will continue to shell.
When last we saw Morris Jones he was still corseted but coming along fine after his disc operation in fact, he chortled a bit about his good fortune since he was in the midst of moving to Montpelier, Vt., and figured he had a water-tight excuse to peddle the heavy lifting to Kathleen. Jonesie, you're a devil.... When he knew he was going to be in Boston recently for a petroleum seminar, Gib Sykes gave us a little advance warning so a bunch of us cooked up a luncheon at the local 99 Club. By a stroke of fate AI Harrington was up from Washington the same day so us locals got a chance to kill two birds with one sandwich. Gib briefed the gang on the duties of an oil company president. A 1 told us he was just across the Pentagon from Red Pounder whom A 1 described as one of the country's outstanding experts on G.I. battle clothing ... seems Red has been in Korea three times, in and out of uniform, and has a working knowledge of the clothing deal from boot to cap mixed with every climatic condition.
Word is in that Dink Gidney continues to conquer having just been appointed vice president in charge of the Sales Department of the United States Potash Cos. Congratulations., Dink, there's only one more river to cross, boy. ... Along with others of our worthy group Jim Conkling has taken an active interest in the fight against polio. Again this year Jim served as Chairman of the Music Group, Entertainment Section in the Commerce and Industry division of the Sister Elizabeth Kenney Foundation; in case you've forgotten, Jim presides over Columbia Records.
The bug has bit Dick Dorrance again and he's back in business for himself, oddly enough under the name Dorrance and Company. Said outfit is equipped to do all types of promotion work, is located at 32 East 39th Street in Manhattan and get this. .. Dick says, "I'm interested in any promotion projects, no matler how small you can tell the world through the '36 notes that I'll donate to the Class Fund 10 percent of the fees from assignments originating through 'g6ers." What are we waiting for? Dick is busy despite the most generous offer; he puts it this way: "if you can imagine the proverbial beehived paper hanger riding an 1830-styled bicycle over Niagara Falls on a windy night well, that's me, son."
From our Nippers and Nuptials Department ... the count is now one and one for Esther and Tony Muello, the new papoose being Peter; it was Elizabeth, a second queen for England, Phyl and Cliff England, that is. Proud pappy Dean Nicholson notes for us the arrival of his first, Adelle Roberta; incidentally Dean is madly mixing accounting and law between P>oston and Haverhill while wife Eunice resumes her singing career. If all came out as planned, Eunice sings Carmen while Boris Goldowsky narrates the story of the opera on a new record by the Boston Record Company.... Come and gone is the 2 A.M. bottle for Keith Sturm, the Kirk Liggett's third Indian in as many years; Kirk writes additionally that New Jersey is alive with Independent Voters about his age ... possibly this means that somebody likes Adlai, despite the heavily Republican-biased responses Joe Cunningham reported in his junior Gallup Poll.... As we type this, monitor of the Class mazuma, Frank Weston, is on the West Coast proudly introducing Miss Elsie Veje to his mother and dad; those in the know say it's an early November ceremony in Boston.. .. June 6 was the big day for Gene Anspach Miss Liv I. Jacobson was the lovely bride and Deal, N. J., was the place. Liv is an alumna of Pratt Institute and the Art Students League of New York.
Stnrbridge Hotelman to Run in Worcester-Hampden District. Those were the headlines in a clipping sent us by a kindred soul. They refer to the announced candidacy of DickTreadway for the Republican nomination for Massachusetts state Senator from his local district. The best of campaigning, Senator. If our memory serves us correctly, Dick, our Senior movies contain a bit where you do a pretty fair cigar-passing act which you may be forced to repeat these 16 long years later.. .. No mention of which way he'll vote but MonroeGreenbaum, Lion Match president, has agreed to produce three matchbook designs to help the American Heritage Foundation and the Advertising Council to get out the vote this fall. Contact Monty if you can use 2500 matchbooks as a sponsor!
Time to come in for a landing. ... Be advised that the Class of '36 will join '37 and 38 for a "Dutch" luncheon and cocktail session at about 11:30 A.M. at the Hotel Somerset in Boston on October 25, the day of the Harvard game. Wives, sweethearts and orderly friends are naturally included. Last year, the first such meeting, proved the idea well worth perpetuating... .
