1944
Malcolm "Boog" McLoud will guide the ship of class destinies as Class Agent for the next two drives until we reune for our Tenth in June 1954. The "Boog" succeeds VonPfeifle, who, because of new outside obligations is unable to carry on with the crusade. That's a real back-breaker, that Class Agent's job, and I know you'll all join me in my deep thanks to Don for the endless hours and energy he has devoted to it and the swell job he did for us in the past four years.
A Tuck School graduate with an eye for a buck .. . and with several years experience in the sales promotion department of U.S. Rubber... the "Boog" is looking to fill the coffers this spring. I hope you'll all give him special support this year.
Just before Christmas, Horace Blood went to Tokyo for an ENT Conference, and while thumbing through the pages of the NipponTimes came across a familiar face in the sports section .. . none other than the good Rev. Don Oakes, waving a confident farewell from the rear platform of the Osaka Express as he and his favored Rikkyo eleven sallied forth in quest of the national grid title against the western Japan champs. No Frank Leahy, he declared, "We don't expect an easy time but we will score and Kwansei Gakuin defensively looks no stronger than Keio University" ... who, incidentally, fell before Rikkyo Ravagers 27-6 earlier in the season. Horace did not announce the outcome. We'll have to wait till next month. He did however mention that Capt. Paul Livingston had been in Osaka just before he (Horace) was assigned there.
From Germany comes word that Radio Free Europe's challenge to Arthur Godfrey, FritzHeir and spouse Joan, have squatted just outside Salzburg "in the shadow of a couple of Alps .. . have a small English car ... are down to one boxer dog from a high of eight. . . have a nicely stocked wine cellar. .. swung a week's vacation in London . .. now waxing the boards for a trip to Austria." Fritz ran into the old tiger, Murray Mondshein, in a Salzburg cafe a couple of weeks ago. Murray is with the State Department.
Teeny and Marilyn Riggs had a pie-printed Christmas card with a couple of stockings inside... one for each of them. Santa came a bit early and presented them with a baby daughter. Undaunted by the change in plans ... they just got hold of some of those package stickers illustrating a stocking .. . and got little Debbie in the act for the Yule.
Dick and Anne Paul spent the holidays in Florida with Dick's folks. "Doc" Schultz is going to be a full-fledged Doc in the very near future.... I never have been able to find out how Ed Knight made out in the November elections; he was running on the democratic ticket for a seat in the West Virginia House of Delegates The Dick Ostbergs had a second daughter, Kristin Whitefield, born on November 19. Her older brother and sister, Rick and Karen, are two of the best looking little blonde Swedes you'll ever want to see . . .in scanning the Cincinnati Post this evening, I came across a picture of West Shell in with a group o£ six men all of whom are candidates for directorship of the Cincinnati Real Estate Board.
The Haydn Society, Inc. won a new member on November 20 when Jenny presented president Tom Crowder with a little daughter, Charlotte Frances. ... I was surprised to hear that Howie Johns is back in service, an Air Corps major. ... Marine Ist Lt. JohnBaker is over Korea way attached to a hospital train ... and Navy Lt. Bill Trier, nearing the end of his tour, swung a good deal and got assigned to the U. S. Naval hospital in St. Albans, N. Y., just a couple of spools of bandage away from his family in Tuckahoe.
Dave Templeton is settling in a new abode up in Akron, O. ... the Georgia eagle, CharlieNottola is with a new law firm in Newnan . . . in West Somerville, Mass., the old harrier-become-pedagogue, Dave Blair, is now what is known as a "guidance counsellor" ... I could use a bit of that stuff myself... . Miles Krohn has set up camp in Utica, N. Y. ... Dave Nutt is an assistant account executive with some New York advertising firm... . John Eaton another of the advertising boys, has his dinghy Deep Freeze all patched up for another season of Frostbite sailing in the Sound... . Textile broker Ed Seidman recently moved to a new home in Lawrence, L. 1.. .. and Don May has set his family up with a new Long Island home at Lloyd Harbor near Flushing.. ..
In the romance department, First Looie Dick Kanter, Signal Corps, and Ann Besthoff have announced plans to become Lt. and Mrs. in the very near future. Dick served with the OSS in the Mediterranean theatre for a couple of years in the last war ... obviously too well, and was called back last year.
If any of you chaps have bad TV reception and don't know what to do with yourself on these wintry evenings, I certainly would appreciate it if you would pen me a line or two.
