1934

Just happened to be near Hanover round Carnival time so we dropped in to look over the production. Thought there might be something of interest to report to the class not covered in the front of this mag. Seems always they emphasize the female in Carnival coverage and there are certainly many things of interest in addition to that necessary, of course, but many times overrated branch of the human race. What are they, you say -

Well, the library, for instance - there were many people interested in the library, although on second thought they did look as though they were sweeping up or filing Or looking for the way out after having fallen asleep in the Tower Room during the exam period in 1934.

Or the displays in the store windows, perhaps, which one could observe in the traditional tour from Tanzi's to the corner and back down the other side. The theme of the Carnival from these displays seemed to be glasses - glasses of all shapes, sizes and colorful embossment. There were glasses everywhere, until we got to Amidon's, where they had the cutest bracelet for only $19.95. Those things usually sold for $19.98, she said — or $9.98 in Boston, we said.

And then we got to thinking about a very clever story in a Dartmouth we had just read - perhaps one of you fellows wrote it. It was a 1934 paper — about a group of girls able to speak some foreign language fluently, who came from various colleges to Dartmouth one weekend, limited to speaking that language to a group of Indians in residence at the time. The fellows' plaint was that all the girls were interested in was eating, which didn't give the boys much time for, er - foreign languages.

So we dropped into Mac's (Adv.) to see the sage of Hanover and find out what they're eating these days, and Mac said how nice it was to see grandparents enough interested in their grandchildren to come to Carnival with them.

So we got out of town - but down by the bank on the way out, as the storm and strife was looking the other way, there was this gorgeous blonde dish, and "Oh, you kid - '34 Skiddoo."

Other HANOVER VISITORS Mr. andMrs. Robert D. Peters from Tarrytown, N.Y., and if you're like our confrere last spring who tried to check our accuracy against the freshman Green Book - foolish boy — be advised that Mr. Peters is our good friend, immovable right guard, and successful merchant, Bob Lapidus that was.

When we were up there in Hanover looking over those old Dartmouths we found that 20 YEARSAGO this general period was rather an unhappy time.. . headlines read, "Gas Kills 9at Theta Chi House," and included were W.S. Fullerton, E.F.Moldenke, W.M. Smith and E. N. Wentworth of 1934. Then shortly afterwards, "Dartmouth Mourns Passing of Michelet." However, FrankieSpain, leading league scorer, was selected for allleague hockey team by the coaches ... and the number of Phi Betes was increased to 39 with the addition of Axelrod, Bassett, W. Bloed, Calmon,Carson, Chase, Cushman, W. EmersonGermann,Gruen, Hall, Joseph, Raphael, Reynolds, Rigby,Spitz, Spitzer, Torinus, and Yankauer... and soon after a notice read "Phi Bete picture scheduled Sat. poorly attended-retake next Sat." In campus athletics, for the fourth consecutive year, Psi U won the interfraternity basketball crown and then went on to win the college championship with R. Wilson leading the scoring.... SteveWoodbury cleared 6' 5" to tie for first in NYC meet against best high jumpers in the country,.... 143 panes of glass were broken on the campus in one day by ice-bailers... .W.P. Stoive won a Stanford graduate fellowship and a letter in track in almost one fell swoop.. . .D. C. Allen was one of four Americans to win Lady Julien Henry award for graduate study. .. . D's were awarded: in hockey to Arthur, Bennett, Croiother, McHugh,Morton, Neill, Nissen, Powers, Walter and Spain; in swimming, to Ballard, Ban field, Daniels, Earl,Meigher, Prescott, and. Smoyer; in basketball, to Edwards, Goss, Kraszewski, Miller and Stangle. Four fellowships for graduate study were awarded by "Hoppy" to Kahn, Rippe, Roberts and Fowle ... and George advertised a Gitsis special, "Real Greek Dinner - cooked in the style of Old Athens."

And so to the NOTES AND QUOTESDEPT.... From Herb Hawkes: "Left the shelter of government service and am now at M.I.T. as a lecturer in the Dept. of Geology and Geophysics. This is only a part-time job, and I plan to fill in by prospecting for minerals with the sole purpose of becoming fabulously wealthy in the shortest possible time. That may never come to pass, but it's a lot of fun trying, anyway."

And from Stan Smoyer, albeit somewhat delayed in transit to these pages, "Just returned from a business trip to California and Chicago. Ran into Laurie Herman on a commuter train to the North Shore." ... Which reminds ye sec that he, too, talked to Laurie last fall while in Chicago. Also with BobEngelman, with whom we were almost able to make a luncheon date, and with a very nice young lady from the telephone company who didn't know Mr. Cogswell personally but who agreed with us that he must be a very fine fellow if he graduated from Dartmouth and worked for the telephone company. Well trained, those kids! If only ye sec were as well trained so that he could remember what he does with notes from such conversations.

However, well trained or no, the franchise is Protected for another month and we shall pull up short before wandering ineptly into the midst of Bankart's bristling prose. Happy St. Paddy's Day!
