It will interest all alumni of the School, as well as of the College, to hear that the state is to build a twenty-foot concrete road between Hanover and West Lebanon. Thus the missing link between Hanover and all points south will finally be supplied. Through the courtesy of Mr. F. E. Everett, state highway commissioner, the full plans for this improvement have been sent to the School. The name of Chandler Griggs, T.S.C.E. '33, appears on the prints as checker of all the plans.
