Ned and Mrs. Willis, back from Florida, spent a week end with us, bringing news of the Southland and of one Jake Atwood whom Ned found in Saint Petersburg. Jake, in the role of a southern farmer, is enjoying tropical weather the year around, a habit he acquired years ago with the United Fruit organization and Vic '03 Cutter. Incidentally Vic himself has gone to Florida so that he may exist for awhile in a warmer climate than New Hampshire where he lives.

For years my chief winter pleasure has been a Boston trip to the annual Dartmouth dinner. Unfortunately another duty away from home later in the week prevented my attendance this time. Robbie writes—"Thedinner as a whole was one of the most interesting that has ever been held. The classof 1904, however, was much more thinlyrepresented than usual, the only ones therebeing Bullock, Bletzer, Hobbs, Maguire,Marshall, and Robinson." It was Bletzer's first appearance for several years, and he is littled changed so long as he keeps his hat on.

Florida has also been providing Carl and Mrs. Woods the background for an enjoy- able winter rest.

A report comes to me that Bob Brewer has not been well this winter.

Buddy Jackson, with the aid of crutches, is back at school, and his mother is spending a few restful days with us. Apparently a cracked shinbone cripples the normal functions of the entire family.

You have probably just received your copy of the Alumni Fund Report. Isn't the enviable position of our class in this great contribution to the financial life of the College a personal satisfaction? Why not write Robbie a letter now in appreciation of his good work in these difficult years of money raising? We can't all enjoy spring in Hanover, but we shall shortly be enjoying the 1936 edition of Robbie's notes which bring us much Hanover atmosphere and welcome news from many corners of the world.

The approach of spring always seemed to develop a feeling of unrest in Hanover, and that seasonal change seems to manifest itself now in drying up all sources of class information. We have two more months to complete the year's history of the class. Help me make the May and June numbers interesting.
