1929*

THE TENTH IS TAKING SHAPE: The shapes of 65 of the boys who say that they will definitely be there, and of 86 more who are hopeful but not definitely sure yet. And that's just a starter, based on the returns received the first four days after the "Information Please" cards were mailed out to you. It begins to look as if Brinkerhoff was an old medicine man when he coined the name TriumphantTenth! Could it be less than that with these boys definitely on their way back: Herb Ball, Norm Bankart and wife, A 1 Bellerose, Walt Bergstrom and wife Bernie Berman, Chan Bete and wife, Chris Born, Fred Breithut, Bob Brinkerhoff and wife, Beedie Brisbin and wife, Dick Brown, Johnny Bryant, Buck Bulkley, Ellie Cavanagh and the Class Baby's mother, and Jimmie, the Class Baby, and his kid brother, John, Eddie Chinlund, Art Clow, Bill Coles and wife, Ed Covey, Archie Crowley and wife, Dick Danforth and wife, Bill Dodge, wife and three children, including the class twins, Dick Eberline and wife, Phil Fitzpatrick, Frankie Foster, Bud Foulks, Jack Hubbard and wife, Slew Goodwin, Walt Gutterson, Mo.

So That's the Story to date: 65 plus 18 wives plus 7 children coming-, 86 plus 6 wives hopeful; and 40 not coming andsorry.

The rest of the returns will appear in next month's Class Notes. And as soon as you hopeful fellows feel more certain of being able to get back to Hanover, will you please let us know so we can transfer you to the coming list.

OTHER VITAL EVENTS: The sons lead the daughters in the birth announcements this month:

Fran McEntee has another son, James Francis, born Jan. 4, 1939, at Los Angeles. Wen Barney's first son, Wendell Robinson, was born in Richmond, Feb. 22.

And on March 3, Diana Robert Gulick brought a "turned up nose and a red head" into Howie Gulick's daily routine.

Joe Webb has been teaching at the College of the City of New York since September 1929—general biology for a time and later bacteriology, in which he is now engaged. At the same time he has been doing graduate work in bacteriology at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia, a combination that keeps him on the jump. Right now, in addition, he is writing up his experimental work for his doctorate in bacteriology, which he receives this year. Joe's first wife, Regina Lown of White Plains, whom he married in 1931, died in 1933. In August 1936 he married Georgina Foley of Hastings-On- Hudson. They live in Yonkers, and as Joe says—barring a major catastrophe will see us in Hanover in June.

Wat Spangler, our Bellevue-Pittsburgh correspondent, is beating the reunion drum for Saw Kier, Moon Vossler, FreddieIngram, Herb Simpson, Johnnie Conlon, and the rest of the local tribe. He reports that Herb Simpson is president and Saw Kier treasurer of the local Alumni Club; Saw is in the treasurer's office of the Pittsburgh Coal Cos., and Herb Fennerty is with Alliance Machinery Cos., Alliance, Ohio; that Slim Corrigan continues to farm chickens in Sarasota, Fla.; that Dr.Pinkie Flannery is on the staff of the Cleveland Clinic; that Dick Brown ■is a roofer in Detroit.

The following froth and substance are the contributions of several rather well known young-men-about-town: Leave-em-to-me Lougee, Fiorello Heath, and, later on, Hunt-em-down Hubbard:

'29 UP! We have a slight job to doaffixing the paddle to the posterior of the freshmen. '3O is restless again and must be subdued. This is evident from the remark dropped by that inscrutable Secretary of that heretofore humble class in his column in the February issue where, commenting on a meeting held to plan for their tenth Reunion, he said,

"Bottome's suggestion of sleeveless sweaters and shorts for uniform, with " '3O" on the chest and " '29" on the seat of the pants, was tabled."

This insolence has caused renewed agitation for restoring freshman rules. It is now believed that we were a trifle hasty in permitting '3O to remove their freshmen caps and wear sweaters during the summer following their sophomore year. We should have required them to graduate in pea-green mortarboards.

Bottome is right—'29 must be swiftly applied to the seat of '3o's collective pants.

Mo Heath (advertisement) gave a fabulous "leaving-town" party for his little known and incongruous T. T. (Too-la- ra-ma) Brittan Jr. the other evening. The latter has become a tradesman, having accepted the job of comptroller with Mercantile Stores, Inc., a department-store chain. '2gers in and about Cincinnati, Toledo, Denver, Seattle, and intermediate points, shackle your wives and loved ones. Brittan is loose! (In one sense this is not news.) Of course, Heath spared no ex- pense, up to a dollar, to make the party a success. He opened, for the occasion, all the wings of his Flatbush hideaway, con- verted the master's bedroom into a bar, and, a la Billy Rose (and just about as bald) dressed the maids and waitresses in "little wet bathing suits." Those of the class lucky enough to get in included Messrs. Richard Barrett, Sherman Little, and Pete Lundgren. The high spot of the evening occurred when the guest of honor manipulated the ski-jump from the out- house roof to the swimming pool. Those who were near as he came up the third time for a last drink heard him muttering unhappily about the slushy skiing conditions.

At the '29 class dinner held at the Dart mouth Club on Thursday evening, March 2, the following classmates were present: Quebman, Torbert, Moxon, Hedger, Armstrong, Heath, Morgan, Poeter, Purdy, Hubbard, Chinlund, Dodge, Weidenmayer, Johnson, Van Jamison, Middleton, and Lougee. "Handsome" Gus spoke briefly on the Alumni Fund and Tenth Reunion plans. Class movies, taken by Chris Born, were run off by Jack Hubbard.

From here on it is Hubbard speaking (note change of style?):. . . ."Still I'll get enough (money) to get to Reunion if I have to hock the old Red Shirt to Gus (Wiedenmayer). Incidentally, do you know Gus is now assistant vice president of the National Newark and Essex Bank? He sits up on the platform as a most distinguished asset, but as far as I have been able to note is also the hardest worker there. His older daughter is going to make all the sons of the class stand on their heads before she gets through JimHodge has been a rarity in Jersey and New York lately, but I finally ran into him this noon and his excuse—working night and day. Tombstones are apparently sold at night also Frank Foster has moved back to Montclair from Rochester and the Mayo Clinic, and Ginter Pratt reports that he has one of the best practices in Montclair Ginter is still living in Darien. . . . Al Fisher has just bought a new house in the Roslyn Estates, Long Island, and is interested in the great out-of-doors. Couldn't make our last class dinner because he had gotten himself elected president of some group or other, and his first meeting was at the same time as our dinner Lyt Johnson is still hard at work in the insurance business, and looks prosperous. He lives in Ridgewood, has a dog and two cats Cal Soriero has just left for Salt Lake City, after six weeks here in the New York district, to take up his new position as Western manager of National Surely Corporation, covering Utah, Washington, Idaho, Montana, etc VanJamieson has just shifted his location from Newark to West New York, where he has taken over the management of the big new laundry plant for Ideal Laundry I haven't heard anyone say he wasn't going back to Reunion. I look for a good turnout from around here."
