There is no cheerier way to open these columns for the fall than with the sound of wedding bells and the gurglings of blessed events. We, therefore, present with all appropriate pomp and ceremony the following collection with a fatherly nod of our graying head and the official benediction of the class of 1930. The order is chronological.
Mr. and Mrs. Louis Roland Barker announce the marriage of their daughter Elizabeth to MR. WALLACE BLAKEY on Saturday, the twenty-second of June, New Britain, Connecticut.
Mr. Thomas Thompson Fredenburg announces the marriage of his daughter Pauline Rosamond to MR. RICHARD BACON on Sunday the thirtieth of June, Auburndale, Massachusetts.

The happy convention of honeymoon visits to Hanover continues, but not with the completeness that one could wish. We had a visit from the above-mentioned BILL SMITHS in early September, but none of the others mentioned above checked in personally. As we leaf nervously in our fuddy-duddy way through the colossal disorder of our desk we fear that the benediction of the church has been given to more 1930 unions than those listed above, but that is a large enough installment for one month's issue of any ALUMNI MAGAZINE.
Roberts Walker French put in his appearance at the New York Hospital on Tuesday, July 16, much to the delight of his mother, Rhoda Walker French, and his other relations, John French II and John French III. Our news of the event came from Johnny III, who announced that his brand new brother Roberts Walker "put in an appearance early Tuesday morning at the New York Hospitaland by tipping the beam at 9 pounds, 7 promises to be of great weight in the councils of the tribe."
Joan Donham Page was announced on the 23d of July by Dot and FRED PAGE with the comparatively insignificant 6 pounds and 13 ounces entered on the records of the Orange Memorial Hospital in Orange, N. J.
Off hand, our second generation seems to us to be dangerously over-weighted with the mark of Psi Upsilon.
Carl Wilhelm Haffenreffer Jr. joined the family of nine deerhounds and seven dachshunds at the Bristol, R. 1., establishment of CARL and CAROL HAFFENREFFER on August 29.
SUMMER VISITORS
Our summer visitors included MILT FLEISCHMAN, who was on his way to various and sundry Outing Club cabins and who was nice enough upon his return to New York to send us a clipping spotted by his eagle eye in the New York Times, recounting the holdup in which COLLIE YOUNG, literary agent, was detached from a watch which he claimed was worth $200; BUD ACKLEY and BUD FISHER, similarly bound toward God's great-out-of-doors; BILL O'BRION, who was married to Lucille Sheldon Foote of Larchmont, N. Y., March 30, 1935, in case these facts haven't come to your attention before; 808 KIMBALL, who has emerged from the confines of prep school teaching to a freer life in physics, chemistry, and administrative work in a Massachusetts high school, whose name, we note with frustration, has eluded both our memory and the scrawled slip of paper to which this information was committed.
This ought to be enough for this time.
