1933

I have been laboring under a misapprehension concerning this secretary's job. I had always thought that the role of one in that position was that of an editor or reporter—a person who would receive long, newsy letters from interested classmates and arrange them in artistic fashion; at most a gatherer of factual data concerning the ever glorious '33.

During the past six months, however, this column has been devoted more and more to creative writing. Each month after dogging the mailman's steps until at least two days after the deadline in the vain hope that a space-filling missive would finally come through, your humble servant with more than normally fevered brain has lashed himself to his typewriter and moved his fingers back and forth over the sounding keys until four pages of yellow copy paper were filled with small, black characters.

It is cheerfully admitted that there has been little unity, less emphasis, and no coherence at all. Of course, you who do not write are the ones who have to read the column. Thank God, I merely write the damn thing.

WORDY WORTHINGTON

And just when the business of waiting for news began to be unbearable, we received three green sheets entitled the " '33 News Letter," each sheet being crammed to the borders with chatty little items about dimly remembered contemporaries whom we had long ago given up for lost. The issue was the work of N. Page Worthington, new Class Agent.

And "wordy" in the above description is used not in derogation but in amazement.

It is pretty clear that this column can furnish no competition to the Worthington opus. As only too many of our boys have discovered, there has been a raise of subscription rates (after the Fifth) with an attendant drop in 1933 subscribers. Worthington, however, can send his propaganda to every man in the class free of charge. Then, too he has all the Alumni Fund agents available to grub around for news.

All of which leaves us behind that fatal and raven-hued spheroid, as you were about to say.

THE U. S. CAVALRY TO THE RESCUE

Like the U. S. cavalry in Walter Wanger's latest opus, the Alumni Records Office comes to the rescue at the last moment. And just in time to save this column from appearing totally devoid of news.

The news is derived from what purports to be a clipping from the New Canaan (Conn.) Advertiser. In substance the item reports that Miss Edith Nichols Burgesser of Darien has entered into a certain contractual arrangement with Robert Whitmore White of Norwalk. No date has been set for the execution of the contract.

Miss Burgesser, we learn, is a graduate of Katherine Gibbs School. Mr. White is associated with Hasken and Sells in New York City. A glance at our record book fails to reveal just what business this firm is engaged in. Mr. White is an M.C.S., if that will help any.

A careful reading of the Club Notes section of this magazine usually reveals some nugget which deserves to be transplanted to this column. This one appeared in the section headed "Vermont." The context advocates (in facetious vein) the annexation by legislative act of Dartmouth College to Vermont. The nugget: "The bill should originate in the house of Representatives and we could depend upon Representatives James B. Campbell '33 to see that it passed that body."

What about it, Jim? Come out from behind those Green Mountains!

Smart, the pedagogue, Smith, the banker and your corr. were in attendance at the recent Dartmouth-Yale hockey encounter. No sight of any Meek or any Spangs. After the game we repaired to the over-romanticized "tables down at Mory's." The place was filled with hot dogs for the Prom week-end, and to make matters worse the singing was pretty tough. Ah, why must we lose all the brave, fair illusions of youth?

In looking through the Spaulding swimming guide for 1928 the other day we came across a picture of the Peddie School relay team for that year. In the picture was Frank Hollingsworth, later to gain fame as the only Dartmouth man to appear in two Freshman Green Books.

Calvin White has forsaken the hardy life of a newssleuth on the Juneau (Alaska) Daily Alaska Empire, and has returned to good old Talbot Road, Portland, Oregon.

Some time ago we received a list of 1933 subscribers to this MAGAZINE. After the names of Sayre, Theriault, and Veres was the notation "FACULTY." Sayre, we knew, was at the Inn and Theriault was in the sociology department, but Veres. . , .

what was the story here? Was there a renascence of interest in boxing and was the Old Champ imparting some of his craft and finesse to the present undergraduates, or had he followed his well known botanical bent (cauliflowers) to the point of obtaining a degree and returned to Hanover as a professorial sparring partner of Chucker Lyons?

Sayre, Theriault, and Veres . . please help us out of this dilemma.

We have not hitherto reported the marriage of Pete ManKowski, which took place soon after graduation. His wife's name was Melvina Ruprecht. They have a daughter, Marcia Ann.

Bob James and his wife, the former Mary Frances Bacon, have for some time been the parents of Barbara Campbell James.

Ken Hurd has two children; Barton Crawford, seven, and Jean Dickerman, five.

Ed Humes married Mary Jane Decker several years ago, but we had not heard of the ceremony before.
