Your plans for next month no doubt include provision for arrival in Hanover on Friday June 13, or before, to stay through the following Monday. If you can't come early, come on time, or even late, and though you can't stay as long as you wish, stay a while anyway.

Pete Blodgett was to have assumed the responsibility for your entertainment and moral guidance during the week-end, but having suddenly become overwhelmed with additional duties at the First National Bank of Boston declined to take on the entire job, so Frank Wallis will be the administrative head.

Already arrangements have been made for the sole possession by 1925 of Shanty Shane on Sunday. This is Pete's work, and he has in addition set the wheels in motion for one or two other official meetings, which will be highly cultural and of considerable benefit to all who attend—so be on time.

By the date this is published you may already have at hand further information direct from headquarters and hot off the press. Considering that it is to be a male gathering officially, there has been an unusual amount of interest shown in what we are to wear as costumes, so it may be surmised that several will have their wives as company on the pilgrimage. As to the answer,—we don't know. What difference does it make? The essential thought is that it will be five years till the next time—so be on time.

Two prominent Chicago barristers (spelled with two r's) turned authors long enough to publish one issue of the "Diddings," smart Chicago Alumni Association weekly news sheet. Whit Campbell and Ken Montgomery received from the relieved editor words of thanks, and there were no libel actions.

Names are continually being added to the list of those who have assumed the bonds of matrimony or taken steps in that direction. Our congratulations are sincerely extended to:

Les King, married February 21 to Jessie Louise Mcßae at Tewksbury, Mass. Hal Beacham, Boston banker, married to Maxine Grace Wesselhoeft.

Alec Laing, engaged to Isabel Lattimore Frost, Hanover. Alec is working at Dartmouth with those students interested in creative writing, and has recently announced that he is on a search, instigated by a friend in the publishing business, for a novel written about undergraduates by an undergraduate.

Carl Smith at the first of the year became associated with the Bankers Trust Company of New York, insurance trust department.

Dan Slawson, passenger on a two-hour flight from New York to Hanover in a friend's plane to attend the Green Key Prom in March, had a little added excitement when the plane broke a strut in landing, but there were no casualties.

Eddie Edwards, pitching for the Yanks against his former team, the Boston Braves, in a spring training game at St. Petersburg, had the first ball pitched batted for a double and then proceeded to turn in an excellent performance by holding his opponents hitless for six innings, the balance of the game.

Charlie Haywood, practicing law in Boston, also holds down a seat in the city council of his home town of Lynn.

Bill Carter is with the United Fruit Company in Boston, and Dick Holden is in the same city with the Furness-Bermuda line.

Joe Leavitt is with R. H. White (toy department) and Ed Griffin in the auditing department of the Copley-Plaza, both also in Boston.

Secretary, 2710 Graybar Building, New York
