Walter and Mrs. Andrews arrived at the reunion in a new "Whippet," which was quite the talk of the reunion.

Norman Cushman and family are occupying a cottage at Rye Beach, N. H. Their two boys are in the camp of Lew Wallis 'O5 at Lake Winnipesaukee. Norman has been laid up with a bad elbow, which has bothered him for a long time, and probably accounts for the poor showing in the "swat-fest" at Lake Tarleton. After said "swat-fest," which Bill Smart won over Dick Lane, the runner-up, a return engagement was played on the Hanover course, in which the tables were reversed.

Lou Gerry and his wife were obliged to return on Sunday to their summer home at "Robin's Wood," at Dublin, N. H.

Foley and his wife drove to Hanover from Alpena, Mich. It did not take them as long as they expected, as they made four hundred and fifty (450) miles the first day and kept up that speed until arrival. They came through Ohio and New York state but returned through Canada.

The Hathaways are planning a European trip of several weeks, expecting to sail some time in August. They will spend most of the time in England, where Pat has an opportunity of combining business with pleasure.

The Dick Lanes will spend their vacation fishing at Lake Megantic, Canada. The McLanes and Wymans are at Newfound Lake for the summer.

Jim O'Neill is conducting classes in the summer school at Wisconsin, before leaving to occupy his new position as chairman of a newly organized Department of Speech in the University of Michigan. He moves to Ann Arbor in September.

The Pelrens have been at their farm in Hopkinton since the early part of May, and will probably return to Concord about Thanksgiving time.

Jim Reilly is building a new home in Lowell, which he expects to occupy in the spring.

Arthur Spear's daughter took part in one of the acts in the performance at Webster Hall during Commencement.

Ben Washburn and family are spending the summer at North Conway.

Among those who signed up for attendance at the Reunion, but were prevented from attending at the last minute, were:

Sam Bartlett, Bud Coombs, Bill Cummings, Jack Hammond. George Howard, Reub Hayes, Victor King, John Piper. Mike Smith, Ernest Trickey, Tute Worthen.

Bremer W. Pond, landscape architect of Boston and assistant professor at the Harvard School of Landscape Architecture, was awarded the gold medal of honor by the American Architectural League at its recent exhibition in New York city, not for any one special exhibit, but for his "general excellence and breadth of design." It will be remembered that Pond designed the Tuck Drive.

The following is from the June Bulletin of the Dartmouth Club in New York:

"Talking with the Heneage family in Hanover during the Secretaries Meeting, it was learned that the whole ensemble were most enthusiastic about the new surroundings. The Heneage kids have eaten ice cream twice a day every day, which to an adult amazing feat seems to have thoroughly agreed with them, if appearances count for anything. The stone house on the Balch Hill Road, which Rip bought and is remaking into the future ancestral home, was built something more than a hundred years ago, and has the unique distinction of being the only house of that age in NewEngland in which Washington did not sleep. It was, though, as a matter of fact, one of the show places of the village, and sheltered many a famous man who visited Hanover. The house overlooks the valley, with an equally beautiful view down the river to Ascutney and will command another north when Rip dees away with a huge barn that now blocks that view. Rip plans to keep a couple of cows, a horse or two, individual dogs for the boys, and a private snowplow for himself. Spring water from the hillside above the house is something not enjoyed by metropolitan cliff dwellers."
