Also a notice of the appointment of Larry Leavitt as headmaster of Vermont Academy. Larry has been assistant headmaster at Tabor Academy in Marion, Mass., for the past eight years, as well as director of their summer school.

Our New Jersey correspondent reports an excellent dinner at the Essex County Country Club in West Orange, on April 7 last, the occasion being the meeting of the Dartmouth Club of Northern New Jersey. Among those present: Duke Harten, El Warner, Eddie Blake, Terry McGaughan, Frank Brick, Jack Whitbeck, and Brad Smith. The coaching staff attended, and Earl Blaik gave a fine talk on the football situation.

Bob Bingham is chairman of the New Hampshire Commission on Interstate Compacts (such as trying to equalize cotton wages in the North and South, etc.) and in this capacity has made several trips to Washington. He recently saw Cliff Hill down there and reports that he looks swell, just as young as when he graduated. Cliff has his name on an important office door and is assistant director in the division of heavy industries (steel, locmotives, etc.) in the NRA.

Llewellyn White, Ken Hill, and Bill Sleigh are planning to enter the Bermuda ocean race which leaves June 24 from New London, Conn. They are going on the Norka, a 76-foot schooner with a crew of ten or twelve. The race takes from three days to a week, and their boat is the largest allowed. The boats all start together, and the time allowances are on the Bermuda end. They plan to be gone about three weeks.

Incidentally, Pete and Mrs. Pete Haffenreffer recently returned from a sojourn in Bermuda.

Had a very interesting letter a day or two ago from Ralph Dwinell, who has been teaching in Cavendish, Vt., since his return from Cairo in July. Has grades six, seven, and eight in the local school in Cavendish, a factory town populated for the most part by Polish people. He reports lots of interest in athletics, particularly baseball, although the boys have meager equipment. However, they have just raised funds for new outfits and interest is running high. Stub expects to go to New Haven this July to teach history and be executive assistant in the Hopkins Grammar School, where he taught before going to Cairo.

Sid Wilder returned from his work in India last spring and has served in various capacities at home since that time, first as director of relief and civil works administrator for Henderson County, N. C., then as a helper in the state transient bureau office in Raleigh, and is now a caseworker and director of education and recreation in Camp Penderlea, Willard, N. C. Camp Penderlea is the camp to which hoboes are sent when they apply for food or shelter at one of the transient bureaus scattered over the state. They are investigated at these centers, given medical attention, including vaccination and inoculation against typhoid, and work there for a week. Then they are sent to camp. Pay is 90 cents and keep per week and work is twenty-four hours per week. Sid's assistant is a college grad, a boy of 23, who for reasons of his own is working under an assumed name.

Secretary, 6*7 Milk St., Boston
