1936

Except for the Jack Smith Christmas card, where in tarnashun was the news the rest of you good fellows could have appended for a ride with the same stamp? Though Jackson spake in printed iambic we rather gathered that Yumi and Jack, possibly Suzanne and Penny, too, did recently spend a fortnight in Italy, having spanned the distance to and fro by aerodynamic principle. Leave us have more facts, boy!

Recently we chanced to meet with one Robert Prentice on the New Haven's crack Merchants Limited, bound for Boston. Bob is a Procter & Gamble account executive for the Compton Agency and appears to enjoy thoroughly the high-gear life of the ad-man. The Prentice homestead is in Old Greenwich (pronounced green witch by the natives), Conn., where dwell also the aforementioned Jackson Smith plus Gib Sykes, Paul Lynch and EdBrooks. Bob indicated that all do respectable work in New York and have clean records in the community.

The Carnegie School of Music, 'tis said, has pirated from the Juilliard School of Music an outstanding new faculty member in the person of Raphael Hillyer. What Rafe doesn't know about the violin and viola you can write long hand on the head of a common pin. Internationally famous as a member of the Juilliard string quartet, he and Koussevitsky worked side by each putting the Boston Symphony on the map; many's the time, too, that he's stroked first fiddle for Toscanini in the NBC Symphony.

After eight years at Bradford Junior College Prof. Russ Capelle has moved to Norwich University as assistant professor of social sciences.... Joe Davis has joined the Patent Press as advertising manager of the YorktownHerald, one of three newspapers published by the recently formed company.

Our clip of the October 23 issue of the Mamaroneck (N. Y.) Times detailed Phil Gilbert's candidacy for Assembly from the 4th District. Nothing has come in since, Phil. Is you is, or is you. ain't?

One of the youngest board members Na- tional Distillers has ever appointed, we'll wager, is Vice President Roy Coppedge. It was less than two years ago that Roy left the New York law firm of Breed, Abbott and Morgan. (Reunion Chairman Ingersoll will please note this chap's affiliation and station!)

Young and Rubicam has given their Detroit office to Vice President Aldis Butler to tend. Al is account supervisor of the Lincoln division of the Ford Motor Company The Morton (excuse the name) Salt Company has shown good judgment by their decision to award Ren Ostrom with the office of first vice president. Also, through the courtesy of Abe Winslow '20, we have word that Chuck Ostrom, oldest son, is a candidate for admission to his father's college. It must be tough to be that ancient, Reynolds!

Congrats to all you guys moving up and, as we used to say in an old business connection of ours, "ever onward."

Had a phone call from Dick Knight, who was elated to learn that this issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE will carry a story about the Washingtonian Hospital. See the adjoining column for the story in detail. Just let us say proudly that Henry Mascarello started on the board some twelve years ago, Dick Knight has been the treasurer for five or so years and Tony Muello, Bob Ingersoll and John Sullivan are more recent board members. Inci- dentally, Fred Dailey searched the title. Let's not leave unsaid that dimes and dollars are mighty helpful to a cause like the Washingtonian.

Remember, gang - get those wheel chairs oiled and greased 'cause '36 rides in June!
