1933
We start off this month with a pleasant antidote for blustery winds and frozen feet in the guise of a good summer shot of Hardingand Eve Macdona and kids at Montauk. A healthy and fine looking crew, indeed. Y'all want to head South right now?
Received a clipping from the originator (September, 1933) of this column, that outstanding and longstanding reporter, lawyer, statesman, John Monagan. The news had already made the MAGAZINE, but hearing from him was a breath of fresh air. Hope he will continue plying us with print. Since most of us didn't start perusing the MAGAZINE until John was in the Class Notes section, we'll wager few of you have realized that he did yeoman service up front as Undergraduate Editor in Senior year. After eleven years in the yoke, what have you been doing with your time on the 4th of every month for the last twelve years, John? Do you still palsy at the thought of the deadline?
The Maiden News informs us that HarryW. Hardy, formerly of Portland, has joined the Jordan Marsh Company in Maiden in a merchandising capacity. Harry and Eleanor and their two boys are living in a neighboring town, but we have not yet learned which one.
The Trenton Times announced a recent lecture at Douglas College in New Brunswick by Dr. Walter E. Bezanson, associate professor of American civilization at Rutgers University. The title of Dr. Walt's discussion was "The Journey of the Young Hero: A Theme of American Fiction," and it sounds as though it should have been first rate.
We received from the Dartmouth Development Council recently a most interesting document entitled "Record of Total Known Giving by Classes - Class of 1933," and we pass on the information contained there for you to ponder. The total class giving in year ended June 30, 1955, consisting of sundry (gifts to Archie B. Gile '17 Memorial, hockey rink, regional scholarships, rowing club, and Friends of Baker Library), Alumni Fund 1955 Campaign, additions to Memorial Fund and Memorial Fund income, was $22,859.27. The grand total known (1933) giving as of June 30, 1955, was $150,333.21. This is a nice piece of change for the last 26 years, and it has been of significant help to the College, but with the awakening spirit of this Class, which is sensed by all of us, it is a cinch bet that 1933 will match this figure in much less than the next 26 years, and will go on to raise the figure many times over as we come more and more fully to understand our proper share of the grand responsibility in supplying the bone and sinews of Dartmouth.
Ernie Earley '18, that old reliable, sends a plug from a New York paper of November 15 saying, "Tip of the hat to W. T. (Ted) Okie, J. M. Mathes, V. P. Ted is to be chairman of the Junior Achievements Expansion Campaign of $3,000,000." Hope Ted is working for the 1933 Memorial Fund, too. Looks like he's our boy. Incidentally, Okie, Don Phinney is a neighbor of yours in Darien, if you didn't know it, even though you don't seem to be home often enough to look him up.
Rudy Pacht '35 recently sent us a clipping from the Los Angeles Times stating that BobGuggenheim, acted as Southland chairman of the Mental Health Fund Drive, and we hope with considerable success.
We haven't yet had a rush of confirmations, denials or vital statistics in regard to our recently professed lack of detailed knowledge concerning the marital and parental status of some of the brothers. Speak up, gentlemen, so that we may have the record straight.
This column is still feeding you address changes which piled up since last spring. In most cases we believe they are still valid, since we have received our information from sources we deem reliable. For instance, the last impressive address for Pete Hart is Cairo Counselor, Foreign Mail Room, Dept. of State, Washington 25. Stirs the imagination, doesn't it? Lee Shaw, still practicing law in Poughkeepsie and possibly still director of Dutchess County Veterans Service Agency, lives at 30 Croft Road. Ed Staadt has moved north from Florida and can now be found in the border state of Maryland at 4700 Homer Ave., Apt. C, Suitland. What do you do there, Ed? Is Suitland like candyland, toyland, etc.? Information is respectfully requested. JimDeHaven advises that he now receives mail at the Rand Corp., for whom he labors in Santa Monica, at 1700 Main St. Rog Kafka can now be found at 118 W. 79th St., New York 24, and as far as we know, he is still ex- ecutive editor with William Sloane Associates. Information on any change will be greatly appreciated, Rog. Dr. Doug Stanton has moved in Lincoln, Nebr., to 2940 Sewell. Fran Hoge is at 18 E. 41st St., New York 7. When last heard from about eleven years ago, Fran was V. P. in charge of sales for U. S. Television Mfg. Corp. How about more information, Fran? Last but not least for now, Lt. Col. David F. Herzig is now at 1007-B Kessler Court, Columbus, Ga., and it looks very much as though he is filling and pulling G. I. teeth, he being a dentist and all like that.
We'll be back with you in March with another thrilling episode from the life and moves of 1933. Adios.
