1932

Before Francis Savage moved from Hanover last year, he presented to President Whip Walser a "Class of 1932 Record," a labor of love listing every mention of 1932s in the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine from September 1928 to July 1960 (which was as far as he got before leaving). The first section covers our undergraduate years, before some of us were even aware of DAM.

Want to evoke a little nostalgia? The first '32 actually mentioned by name was JudsonYoung, who died tragically on a Thanksgiving expedition to Mt. Washington. In March 1929 the alumni learned that Fred Matson and Bob Reinhardt were in charge of our Freshman Green Book. Photos of RolandSundown, from Tonawonda Reservation in New York, appeared twice that year, and NedDisque wrote "With the Outing Club." The following winter (February 1930) saw sophomore Carroll Boynton's "Growth of Aviation at Dartmouth," with pictures of Handy Auten, Frank Gilbert, Mort Burden, and Ev Hokanson. March, 1930: Whitey Almert (handsome guy) at the Carnival Ball. December: football pictures of BillMorton, Bob Wilkin, and Stan Yudicky.

January 1931: Stan's election as football captain, as well as John Clark's as editor-inchief of The Dartmouth, with Ed Marks as managing editor and Joe Boldt as associate editor. April: organization of the Yacht Club, with Jim Moore elected Commodore. Under "Milestones" were the new officers of The Round Table: Carlos Baker, Reuel Denney,Ellis Jump, and another Carroll Boynton aviation article was illustrated with a picture of a training glider.

During our senior year the Magazine printed three pictures of Bill Morton, as quarterback, hockey captain, and finally as Class Marshall at commencement. It listed the Winter Carnival Committee: BudCarter, Marv Chandler, Tom Curtis, Ned Disque, Dan Kraft, Brandy Marsh, JoeSawyer. In January Howie Sargeant was named Rhodes Scholar. The April issue published his essay "An Undergraduate Looks at His College." Another senior fellow, BobColtman, wrote on the value of fraternities, and Jim Riley's one-act play "Wildcatter" was published. May 1932: Ev Hokanson's article about Boot and Saddle Club, while among the letters to the editor Morry Hubbard commented on changing attitudes in athletes. Remember when?
