1933

This report is quite likely to be rambling, disorganized and even to a degree incoherent due to the fact that your reporter returned yesterday with wife and 14-year-old daughter from a week's trip to Baltimore, Washington and Gettysburg. Monuments? We g-ah-h-ht 'em! It's difficult to settle down to the diligent way of life again.

However, we were pleased to hoist a glass or two with Page and Mary Worthington in Baltimore and to find them both looking fit and just returned from a Caribbean cruise. We found later at the Dartmouth Club in Washington that they miss Page's bowling prowess there. Page reported a Memorial Fund meeting in Washington in December graced by a terrific turnout of the Class people there who hadn't been seen for years.

Hoping this might be a weekly occurrence, your reporter attended the regular Tuesday noon luncheon of the Washington Dartmouths at the New Athens Restaurant. Met many nice people there - among them, Willis Fitch '17 (newly elected president of the Club), Percy Russell '29, Ed Parsons '53, Barry Sullivan '36, Ed Mecutchen '31, Judge Stafford '11 and Joe Fanelli '32, but was disappointed to find nary a '33er. As far as I can ascertain (that phrase reminds me of a favorite story), the classmates in Washington whom we missed were Thorstenberg, Palmer,Lincoln, Hagen, Niebling, Mundt, Pimper,Lyon and Hart. Did manage to talk to DickLyon on the phone, however, and had dinner with a mutual friend of Pete Hart's and mine.

The Washington luncheon was also attended by Mike Cardozo '32 and son Michael Jr. who were down from Ithaca and, like your reporter and family, were engaged in "doing" the Capitol. You may remember that Mike formerly edited the *32 Class Notes and usually had something to say, sometimes of a slightly controversial nature. His notes probably produced, on a per capita basis, more blood pressure increases than Marilyn Monroe. However, the consensus seems to be that his notes were read assiduously; something, we are sure, that cannot be said for this column. It might be good to try out a little controversy here. This, however, brings a problem. Your reporter is, by nature, a non-controversial guy and feels unequal to the task of stirring up some interesting arguments. As far as New York State goes, we could, of course, blast Governor Dewey for his stand on the further developments of Niagara power and question the way he threw his weight around in favor of compulsory automobile liability insurance, but we are sure that all of our gentle readers would only agree, and, in addition, it would seem that our controversial material should have a wider and perhaps national scope. Thus, we propose that if any of you have some thoughts on issues large or small which alarm you or about which you are more than a little belligerent, send them in and we will try to run them along with any reactions they may evoke. The only stipulation will be that we reserve the right to edit for space limitations occasioned by the function of this column in reporting news of the Class.

We have a copy of a non-controversial letter sent to Dick Jackson by Cy Sturm concerning the Alumni Fund and the Class of '33. If the Newsletter doesn't use it, this column will try to do so. Suffice it to say for now that Cy is enthusiastic both for the Alumni Fund and this Class and can see no reason why 1933 should not have a 100% participation in the Fund this year. He feels that although we started off 21 years ago as the "depression boys," we are coming into our own and are fast maturing and will soon "be standing side by side and then replacing those who have been so generous in the past." Amen, say we.

The public prints bring us news that HarryJ. Robinouitz and Miss Ruth Parsely were married in New York on January 14 and are living in Somerville, N. J.; that Lym Wakefield has been elected president of the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce; and that Hobart M.VanDeusen, a member of The American Museum of Natural History's Dept. of Mammals, was one of three scientists on the Fourth Archbold Expedition to New Guinea which has returned with 98,000 plant and animal specimens.

The stork winged in this morning with news that Sam and Jean Black are the proud parents of Susan MacLenden Black, born on March 25. Also winging in this morning, par avion from Jack Ferguson '15, was a good letter concerning the activities of various '33er's in Tulsa, including a half-page of pictures from the Women's Section of the Tulsa Sunday World showing views of a charade party given by Chuck and Honey March. It appears that Hank Dericks operates the First National Building for the First National Bank; CharleyClark has a growing business handling office equipment; Jack Pringle, who has two Dartmouth brothers and a brother-in-law living in Tulsa, is in and out of town, but mainly in Midland, Texas, where he is an active oil operator; that Jus and Lee Stanley were in town at the time of the Glee Club concert there on April 1. Jack ends his letter with a statement we are pleased to hear, " '33 is a big number in the Dartmouth colony here."

Now for those movin' men: Dar Bates has moved again, this time to 1824 Chapman Rd., E. Cleveland, Ohio. Still with Addressograph-Multigraph. Also moved again is George E.Hamilton, apparently still with New Zealand Insurance Company, Ltd., whose new address is 1009 Arcadia Ave., Arcadia, Calif. CharlesR. Jones Jr. has moved to 740 Edmonds Ave., Drexel Hill, Pa. If you wish to see him for any property insurance, his office is 401 Walnut St., Philadelphia. Ford Marden, having found a good number, has moved out of Box 434, Deerfield, N. Y„ into Box 434, Utica, N. Y. Erv. Prince, who teaches at Rivers Country Day School in Chestnut Hill, has moved to 19 College Road, Wellesley 81, Mass. Roger E.Sylvester, editor of the Springfield (Mass.) Union, has moved to 48 Ellsworth Ave., Springfield. Dr. Douglas H. Stanton can be found at State Department of Health, Capitol Building, Lincoln 9, Nebr. We believe he is still the director of the Nebraska Council on Children and Youth.

Remember '33's slogan for the Alumni Fund - "Give early and often!"
