1933
Football's heading into the final weeks and Thanksgiving's just around the corner. 1953's a lame duck, but we're still here to report on YOU and YOU and YOU!
First, movements hither and thither: GusBabson seems to have given up the publishing business to sell Chryslers and Plymouths at 815 E. State St., Rockford, III. He appears to live at 522 E. Batavia Ave., Batavia, III. Any members of the Class in this area who desire a high-trade-in-no-down-payment-five- years-to-pay deal ask for Gus.
Dick Bee, last reporting from N'Orleans, is now with Otis McAllister & Co. at 129 Front St., N. Y. City 5. Still bonds, Dick? What kind? Where do you live? Please give with further information.
Harry Buckley seems to have moved to the suburbs for his new home address is Rt. 332 Box 52, Charlotte, N. C. As far as we know Harry's still pickin' finished cotton.
Pete (Parker T.) Hart, still with the State Dept., has also moved to the suburbs and can be found weekends at Rt. 2, Box 60, McLean, Va. There have you met R. Jack Smith (who also works for The Man) and wife, Rosemary, Pete? Not relatives but good friends from way back of your scribe and wife. Should be mutual enjoyment if you should look them up. Let me hear, y' hear?
Pill-pusher DeHart Krans, after balancing on the Mason-Dixon Line at Perry Point, Md., since 1947 has finally turned Confederate at 1714 Belle Vue Way, Tallahassee, Fla. More details are needed for the record, Hart, so let's have 'em. Private practice, clinical medicine, citrus growing, or what?
Another recent tourist to Florida who has forsaken the Mason-Dixon Line is Commander Earle C. Gordon Jr., who has reported to the Naval Base at Key West, Fla., as legal officer. Prior to this move, Earle was attached to the office of Judge Advocate General in Washington, D. C., where he served as Head, Investigations Board, and as Appellate Government Counsel. A similar move for a silly-vilian would sound like sending a man out of his home office to the East Rancid branch, but one never knows about Navy tours of duty. How about enlightenment, Earle?
It says here that Mr. and Mrs. Mel Katz and Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Snow moved temporarily to the Hanover Inn in August and then moved home again. Could that be Swan, Al? If so, your writing has not improved since Ithaca days.
Phil Byers M.D., Wolferman Annex Building, 4635 Wyandotte, Kansas City 2, Mo., writes that his son Philip Commack Byers enters Dartmouth with the Class of 1957 this fall. Phil wonders if he is the first child of one of our class to enter Dartmouth College. Let's hear from any other men of this distinction. We know, f'rinstance, that Doscher has a son in the Class of 1956, but the Judge cheated a little to get him there so soon. How about any others?
Rol Burbank, recently mentioned in this column, has been appointed assistant headmaster of Proctor Academy where he is head of the science department. Rol, a former president of the New Hampshire Unitarian Association, was chairman of the Proctor Centennial Drive in 1948 which raised $100,000 for the Academy. Hey, Jackson, this guy should be an A.C.A.!
Don Phinney, whose boring (Venzuelan tunnel) adventures have graced these pages before, finally caught a plane from Aeropuerto Maiquetia, Venzuela, S. A. (Don's former address) and landed at 37 Garden City Drive, Cranston, R. I. Please give an account of yourself, Don, with explanation of come-down in romantic address.
Ned Lord finally landed in Boston where he oversees the transportation of pulp and paper for Brown Co. at 150 Causeway St., and treks on home to 14 Lloyd St., Winchester, Mass. We surmise the possibility that Brown Co.'s New Hampshire transport difficulties might require frequent visits to Hanover.
Speaking of Hanover reminds us of many things, of course, but particularly of two both having to do with 1933 and the collection of the long green. First is Dewey's recent brief and pungent appeal for class dues. As always, it is a classic! If you have been able to withstand its subtle approach, fie and shame on you! If you forgot, send Dewey your six bucks now!
Secondly, we have a Memorial Fund coming up in June of 1958 to signalize our having been out of college for 10, a quarter of a century. As you know, Don D'Arcy has been selected by your executive committee as general chairman of the 1933 Memorial Fund, a job which will probably try his soul in the next four and a half years and a job which will require real cooperation and perhaps a bit of strain from every member of the Class. This is an extremely important effort for the College, and we are sure 1933 will see it through with honor and integrity. The groundwork progresses apace, so brace yourselves really hurt so much after the initial shock, and after you've lived with it for a while, almost anything seems possible. '33 up!!
We saw a newspaper picture showing Dr.Bill MacCarty holding up a 16-pound Northern Pike he caught last summer in Lac Charron near the Chibougamau Reserve in northern Quebec. It's quite a fish and the trip must have been quite a trip. The expedition apparently consisted of four Hanover M.D.'s (piloted by Bill) and their wives in station wagons and one sedan with three boats, six motors, dunnage and food. The party boated about 300 fish, throwing back the greater portion for further growth, and saw northern pike ranging from 23 to 33 pounds but without being fortunate enough to land these monsters. If Bill wants to go into the professional guiding business, our guess is that a considerable number of his classmates will jump at the chance to go north with him. See you at the Cornell game!
