To the list of weddings which appeared in the October notes should be added that of John C. Proctor, who was married on July 18 at Nantucket to Miss Alice Carter of Montclair, N. J. John, who was graduated from Dartmouth in 1935, is now doing graduate work in naval architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His name appears on the Dean's List recently published by that institution. Mrs. Proctor is a graduate of Mt. Holyoke in the class of 1935.

Despite our venerable and weather-worn aspect, sons of members of the class continue to enter Dartmouth. Two of them are enrolled with 1941. Charles Hadley has had an excellent scholastic record at Tabor Academy, and was German exchange student in 1935. Norman Ghesley's record in the Lawrence High School has been equally good. Both will undoubtedly do us credit in college.

Harry Hutchins' summer has not been entirely pleasant. He was stricken by an embolism in June and was confined to the hospital in Lancaster for a long period. His improvement, however, has recently been rapid, and he is now able to write letters with his own hand with all his old verve. This winter he is to be in New York, where he may be addressed at 464 Riverside Drive.

That excellent and highly pictorial organ, The New Hampshire Troubadour, issued by one of 1900's leading editors, Don Tuttle, publishes a double-page halftone entitled, "Panorama of the Sandwich Range from the estate of Joseph Wentworth, on Wentworth Hill, Sandwich." Upon seeing the picture it is not a matter of wonder that Joe prefers this outlook to that from his office windows in the crooked streets of Boston. Walter Rankin informs the Secretary that Joe has been elected or "maybe it was re-elected" to the presidency of the Sandwich Historical Society.

Not often enough do we hear from Harold Holland at Galesburg, 111., so a recent chatty letter was welcome. Harold owns a large farm in that region and conducts a livestock business which must be very extensive, if the pictures of some of his pigs and cattle which he encloses are to be taken as a criterion. He still has energy for tennis, he is devoted to ornithology and has spent much time in research on the breeding habits of birds and in nature photography. Altogether a life with a well-rounded range of interests.

Bob Jackson has been in Europe for much of the summer, spending most of his time in Poland.

Harold Hastings is secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Baltimore, and in that locality is in charge of the work of interviewing candidates for admission. His daughter, Mary, was graduated from Middlebury College in June.

Col. Henry Teague has had a busy summer. His main headquarters have been at the Mt. Kineo House, where he has had a very successful season, but at frequent intervals he has chartered a plane to visit his enterprises at Mt. Washington. The mountain railroad, since he has assumed its management, has taken a new lease of life, and many times during the summer its facilities have been taxed to the utmost to carry to the mountain top the throngs of people who desired to make the journey. The Summit House has been maintained in the most attractive condition. Perry Fairfield has served as Henry's manager at that point. In his various enterprises Henry has employed no fewer than thirteen Dartmouth men during the summer, and his thoughtful help in Hanover to worthy undergraduates is a matter of common knowledge. He has built for himself a most attractive log cabin at the base of Mt. Washington, provided with all the conveniences and comforts which we like to have but do not always expect in such a structure. This winter he is to return to Miami as manager of the Venetian.

Secretary, Hanover, N. H.
