1933
This is being written on the heels of a tough loss to a better-than-suspected Harvard team by a courageous Dartmouth team plagued by injuries, following a rugged struggle against a very good Holy Cross team. We need not hang our heads in shame. It's a real fighting team all the way. Had it not been for the backfiring of one clever play in each game, we'd still be undefeated. Despite torrential pre-game rains which washed out our picnic, Jarv Chapman, Stan Colla, Bob Fox, Jim Walker and Nick Xanthaky are known to have braved the elements. Jarv and his son Larry had just come from a campus survey at Williams and Dartmouth where he naturally hopes young Larry will join his other son Charles '61. Stan, recently transferred from Buffalo to Boston by Socony-Vacuum, thinks his house-hunting jaunts have finally found him a roof in Wellesley.
The only '33ers in evidence at Brown were Bob Fox, Hal Mackey and Jack Smart, the latter two seen at a distance.
The Penn game found a good-sized delegation. Seen or reported there were: Bill Dewey,Don D'Arcy, June Drowne, Johnny Faegre,Bob Fox, Hal Henchey, Mel Katz, Bud King,Hal Mackey, Jack Manchester, John Meek,Dumps McCarthy, Wally Watson and PageWorthington. Bud and Kathy King get A for enterprise. They awoke that morning in Philadelphia, found the sun shining, called Hanover for tickets, coralled another couple, hopped a plane, saw the game and were back in Philly within about ten hours' time.
Johnny Faegre, in town for a meeting of the Dartmouth College Athletic Council to which he was recently appointed (Wah-Hoo-Wah, Johnny), found himself the guest of honor at a party given by some thirty undergraduates from his area and whose attendance at Dartmouth he had fostered. If each one of us would do one-tenth of the missionary work Johnny does for the College, our class could make a real contribution. Why not take it upon yourself - each one of you — to interest one qualified boy each year in going to Dartmouth?
Page Worthington was in Hanover for a couple of weeks and sends his thanks to all who attended Mary's funeral or were thoughtful in other ways and to the Class for its floral remembrance.
The press reports Manny Sprague's appointment as vice-president, public and industrial relations, of American Machinery and Foundry Co. in New York. The Alumni Records Office reports a change of home address for him to 90 Ponus St., New Canaan, Conn., but our records indicate that he still called that home while he was in Washington.
Rumor has it that Ken Spang is due for congratulations, too, on his election as vice-president of one of the New York banks. How about a confirmation on some details, Ken?
A recent news clipping reports that Bob(Trask) Cox, now an architect in Pasadena, Calif., recently designed the Death Valley High School in Shoshone, Calif., and received a citation for his original design from the School Business Officers Association in San Francisco. Earlier in the year, some of his work was displayed at the International Fair on Education in Geneva, Switzerland. Our other Bob Cox (middle name - Mathis) is a very successful department store and radio station operator in McKeesport, Penn.
Art Oesterheld was recently made assistant comptroller of the New Haven Railroad where he will have supervision of completely overhauling and modernizing its accounting system. With the exception of five years in the Army as a captain, Art has been in accounting since his graduation from Tuck School. He started with N. Y. Telephone Co. and then became an accounting manager, first with Arthur Andersen Co. and subsequently with the Columbia Gas System in New York City. Art is a C. P. A. and a member of national and regional accounting societies Art and Gwen now reside, with their three children, at 565 Skiff St., North Haven, Conn.
"Industrialist Outdoors Man" is the title of a feature article in a recent issue of the Chattanooga (Tenn.) Times on Bill Raoul. It reveals a lot more than modest Bill included in his questionnaire for the 25 Year Book. He taught English and Economics at the Baylor School for a year before becoming associated with his father in the furniture and appliance manufacturing business, Cavalier Corp., where he first designed furniture and is now vice-president, appliances. Lookout Mountain, Tenn., is his present address and that of his 1942 bride, Louisa Popham of Charleston, S. C., and their two children, Gaston and Louisa. His interests in civic activities are wide and find him on the boards of the United Fund, Family Service Agency, Chattanooga Symphony Association and the Chattanooga Opera Association as well as tenor in his church choir.
Bill continues his interest in the outdoors, particularly canoeing, fishing and just plain tramping in the woods. His canoe trips find him exploring un travelled streams far from the madding world" of which he was so much a part during his five years of Army service. Rising from private to lieutenant colonel Bill, by choice, obtained an assignment as an artillery officer with the 12th Armored pivision. His only comment on his war service is "had a fine time," but his records show a Purple Heart for mortar shell wounds in the chest, Silver Star, Bronze Star and Croix de Guerre.
Gay Milius is number one man on our list right now as the result of his sending us our first unsolicited letter since taking over this assignment. He sees Bob Hagan, an Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Navy, quite frequently in the Pentagon and had the good fortune to see Pete and Mary Grace and their excellent colored movies of reunion on a' recent trip to St. Louis. In addition to his Navy duties, Gay is kept busy as vice-president of the Institute of Military Law in Washington and with his hobby, amateur radio. His call letters are WYNSF, which can be reached not only at home, but in his car in which he carries equipment. Gay would like to hear from you fellow "hams and hopes soon to contact Burt Hack's son in Norwich, Vt. He had an article in the September QST and another is scheduled for November in CQ - "ham" journals to the uninitiated. Note to Bob Burns, our theatrical agent in Beverly Hills - Gay is currently appearing as one of "the Angels" in the Fairlington Players presentation of "The Three Angels." If there are any other "hams" in ours, or other classes who read this, why not send your call letters and location to us for inclusion in subsequent columns so that you can renew and continue your friendships via the airways.
Sorrowfully, we report the passing of FordyMarden at his camp on Peabody Pond in Sebago, Me., on October 12 from a head injury, resulting from a fall in the woods. An In Memoriam, covering the details and expressing the Class sympathies to his family, will appear in this or a future issue.

Yours truly has been credited by some classmates as the father of Richard Beattie, QB and number 18 on the football squad. Sorry, no relation. But, Jarv Chapman has a son, Chuck, guard and number 63, who is a 5' 11" and 190 pound sophomore and, insofar as we know, the only 1933 son on the varsity squad.
"Goodnight and a Merry Christmas to All".
