1934

Pulling the Little Dandy No. 3 up onto the knees to begin pecking away for this October issue is usually not too tough, because the stuff is running out your ears and Scherman's contract with Sports Illustrated says he has to forget Dartmouth for the summer and work for them, so you don't get beat to death by his green tip sheet.

While we adjust the new bifocals to the keyboard, let's give reunion just a once over lightly to smooth off a few things.

Dick Gruen, for instance, tried at the banquet and in the July issue to publicly thank Les Reeve, Bill Wilson, Marty Dwyer, LexParadis and all the rest of the fine people who worked to make reunion "go." Time blew the whistle previously, so right now we'll pass on to you Dick's thanks for a job well done.

We have to pick up a little broken glass, too. Too late for correction in printed matter, Ernie Barcella stepped in to put on an accomplished performance pinch hitting for John Torinus and we want to make sure Ernie gets due credit. We're unable to afford his usual fat fee, but have tried to compensate him by getting into this issue an intimate record of his association in Moscow with Dick and Nikita. The contribution of this photo by Editor and Publisher's Bob Brown gives an opening to ask for help in this line from the class and its auxiliaries. One picture is worth, etc.!

You know by now that the Reunion Book was great, but it did fail to credit Paul Ebbitt, Nels Krogslund, and maybe others for perfect Alumni Fund records. For any mistakes, we are unhappy and offer apologies. To a character, however, who in previous residency in this space, in writing of a classmate who had divorced and remarried with- out benefit of full disclosure to the '34 record keepers linked him in some undoubtedly adulterous manner with Wife of 1, and had it fittingly called to his attention by Wife #2, such errors are the product of minor league error-makers.

There are some very good excuses from fellows who never did make reunion. For instance, Emily and Ed Moore announced the birth, on July 15, of Timothy Moffatt Moore, Ed's fifth son. But Bill deRiemer was at reunion alone because his wife had recently borne him a son, exact details of said birth being unavailable at this time because Werner had to use the slip of paper to stuff a hole in the tent.

Ed Corson was out in California during reunion for the graduation of his son, Henry, from The College of the Pacific. Also in California at the time, Claremont to be exact, was Ted Gregory and he sent documentary evidence to prove it, if the mag has space.

We used to run a section Vital Statistics when you and Sid Hazel ton were younger, Magee, but things are getting more complicated. We still have our blessed events, as above. We have weddings in the second generation. And already Chuck Hirschey and Jake Hekma have had a friendy argument about which has the class grandchild. Seems as though it's a question of whether or not male grandchildren take precedence and not sure the class is sufficiently mature emotionally this early in life to face such an earth-shattering matter.

That almost takes care of the twenty-fifth except that Bud Yallalee poses a fairly simple problem. Fairly simple, that is, in a relative sense. Relative, that is, to Yallalee and this column. Bud took pictures of two young girls from New Jersey, who evidently married older men of '34, and promised to send them copies. Bud is a man of his word, but the names must have been on the same paper Hank stuffed in the hole in the tent. As the snap shows a bright sun-shiny day, the mag through its innate feeling for public relations may insist that it be printed. If so, and identity is forthcoming, Bud has furnished this department with prints for transmittal.

in mid-July, Roily Morton was host at luncheon in NYC to celebrate Bill Gilmore's recovery from the eye operation which was performed right after reunion. The notorious free-loaders Jackson, Copp and Werner were also present.

Now Names In The News.... On August 22 Miss Susan Bathrick, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Bathrick, became the bride of Lt.(j.g.) William Fischer Jr. also of Darien, Conn.... Henry Rosen, associate professor, director of audio visual education and public relations, State Teachers College at Bridgewater, Mass., received his Ed.D. degree from Boston University.... Dr. Stephen C. Meigher has been elected to the board of directors of the Schenectady Trust Co. and that fellow who said he owns most of the money in the place anyway sounded like Glazer ... also in the banking field, but without editorial comment, Branford S. Brennon was elected to the board of trustees of a bank in Lowell, Mass., which at the moment must remain unidentified because some economy-minded functionary in reproducing the clipping has Orphan Annie's hair-do showing through behind the corporate name and did you ever try to read a reproduced newspaper clipping through O.A.'s hair... right next to Bran and young Annie is a proud acclaim from the Barre, Vt., Times for native son who made good in the big city, Oscar M. Ruebhausen, who, as chairman of the board of trustees of Bennington College announced withdrawal from the federal scholarship loan program because of a requirement students accepting loans sign loyalty oaths... . Robert M. Bennett is national product manager, beverage packaging, folding carton division of Container Corporation of America. He is in charge of general sales, product development and marketing activities of the folding carton division. This brings you up to date on that famous Big Green athlete a lot of you fellows were asking about at reunion.

There seems to be a lot more, but we'll leave a little room in the hope that our competent editors can open their hearts and squeeze in a few pictures. By the time this hits the press the Holy Cross game will be on the record, but right now in our house we're running cheering practice in Big Green cheers and songs for sophisticated seniors from the College of New Rochelle, which is a somewhat better than good trick, though only you New Yorkers would know that. We plan a mass movement on Hanover, including New Rochelle auxiliaries, and intend to enjoy it. Since Holy Cross added reading and writing to their entrance exams these games become more interesting to a Worcester boy. Hope we saw you there!
