1950

By the time another deadline rolls around we trust there will be a lot of scuttlebutt to pass on as powwows transpire here and there during the football season. As this batch of smoke signals sneaks out from under the tribal blanket, however, not much is available, particularly at...

THE HITCHING POST

Only nuptial to record this month found Charlie Davison marrying Lessie Hall Lang Busbee in St. Petersburg, Fla., August 16. The bride, a graduate of Florida State University, was formerly on the faculty at Teachers College Library of Columbia University. Jim Stevens, Jack Wetenhall, and Bob Bullock '46 shared the usher duties. Charlie, with an MBA from NYU, is a member of the accounting firm of Comery, Davison & Jacobson in Providence, R. I.

RATTLE PRATTLE

The new members in our family are also limited this month, but we can offset the numerical lack with high quality. Elder of the two is the second son for Bud and Polly MacDonald out in San Rafael, Calif. Named Dwight Boyd, he was born November 20, 1957. Happy first, fella!

Second sputnik long since in orbit is John Neidlinger Kilmarx, son of Bob and MaryKilmarx. Killie claims no changes of address or job, but obviously young John has seen his share of changes already. Congratulations to all of you, folks!

SERVICE SCENERY

There are frequent address changes among the guys in khaki garb, or so we always surmised. Since last spring we've found only two, though. Both list the APO as San Francisco. Capt. Frank Lion is in the Information Section, HQ, EUSA, APO 301. Capt. Sam Jefferson can be reached at the 121st Evacuation Hospital, APO 201. We'd like to hear from you two and the rest of the troops because these post office numbers don't tell whether you're sitting under palm trees or up to your elbows in snow!

INKADENTAL INTELLIGENTZ

One of the best methods available for collecting data on the doings and whereabouts of hiding classmates is to take a trip to a place like Chicago and then sponge your way through a week or two of socializing. As you might expect, we are about to reveal the name, rate, and flivver size of some Windy City residents!

Hugh and Jane Brower have a winsome two-year-old lass named Mary and a bassetttype hound with the elegant monicker of du Pont. Home is in Winnetka with Lake Michigan's sandy beach handy for varsity frisbee contests. We found Vic Trautwein '52 and Jim Gregg very adept and your correspondent came up with the only charlie horse of the season going for a sinking liner.

Pete and Weylene Bucklin are comfortably ensconced in Evanston where Bucky toils on a dissertation and teaching in the marketing department of Northwestern. After Colorado, they admit missing the schussing that was once available. Who wouldn't???

Bill and Linda Carpenter have settled down in Hinsdale since Carp was made manager of the Chicago terminal of Navajo Freight Lines operating westward to the Coast. Besides being introduced to the insidious hoola hoop there, we got a chance to say hi to Jim and Ting Gilmore, and Herb Knight '51 who was promoting the idea of a chartered plane for the Yale game. Sounded like a grand scheme!

At the annual golf outing of the Chicagoans, we found seven 1950 injuns. Si Morand, adept as always at the task, was gathering in money when we arrived. Hope he's having as much luck at getting your class dues which are payable now. Tom Rowe, a neighbor of Si in Wilmette, is still with Equitable Life, and we also greeted Ted Lawton who is selling for The Ohio Boxboard Company. The banking interests were represented by Hugh Brower (Harris Trust) and Herb Ray (First National), the latter a partner in masterminding the Eli jaunt previously mentioned. Jim Stevens, secretary of the Inland Steel-Ryerson Foundation, Inc., thoughtfully provided a ride back to Chicago after the affair. Inkaden tally, muscle man of the day was John Schalles whose 285-yard poke won the long ball prize. Heard later that he teamed with Kent Calhoun .'52 to cop the Ivy golf championship of the area for the second year running. Very good.

Joe Mager has gone into law practice with Mr. Robert C. Zampano in East Haven, Conn. Formerly with Thompson, Weir & Barclay in New Haven, Joe got his degree at Yale and passed the bar in 1955. He and his wife, the former Elizabeth J. Davis, have two sons, Joe Jr. and James Edward Two more Eli legal eagles are Steve Pollak and Bob Sisk. Steve, Ruth, Linda and David live in Alexandria, "a., while bread is won working on broadcast law with the firm of Covington & Burling jo Washington. Bob's outfit is Hughes & Hubbard of New York. The Sisk entourage ineludes Julie, two, and Bob Jr., one. Upstate, Ted Prime was a candidate for the Lake Placid school board last spring. After obtaining Cornell's sheepskin in law, Ted began getting himself into all sorts of activities and is an officer of the Lake Placid Agencies, Inc. He and Ruth have three youngsters, all snow bunnies, we'll bet.

Bud and Gene Carver became neighbors recently when Gene found his way through the Golden Gate "low rain," fog that is, northward from San Francisco where he is a mortgage banker and loan correspondent for Metropolitan Life. The Carver clan includes spouse Pat and two girls, Mary and Sara.

He's prexy of the Westfield Tennis Club and the Somerville Jaycees. His wife is the former Jean Godley of Flemington, N. J., and they have two offspring.

Dan McCarren is another Jerseyite, though he leaves the land of the five-pound mosquito for Gotham daily to toil as assistant product manager in the garden division of BoyleMidway, Inc., selling and merchandising "a fast expanding line of chemical specialities consisting of insecticides, weed and crabgrass killers, and dog and cat repellants." His family is made up of Tudy and their heir, J. Reilly.

Go easy on the drumsticks at Turkey Day, and we'll see you here before Yuletide is upon us.
