Marj Burns' daughter Janet appeared with the John Lenthier Memorial Troupe, headed by Will Geer, which toured this summer, playing at Arden, Del., WilkesBarre, Pa., Washington, D. C., and cities in Virginia and Maryland. Jimmie Burns is president of the Garfield Club at Williams, is one of the highest ranking students in his class, and distinctly a leader of undergraduate opinion.

Wallie Ross' daughter Catherine is now a senior at Mt. Holyoke. She was on the "Mount Holyoke Seven" in tennis last year. Elbert Moffatt Jr. is a sophomore at Harvard University this year and was a member of the freshman crew last year. He was admitted from Woodstock High School, India, without examination and with very good scholarships. The two older Moffatt girls have graduated from the University of Washington, Seattle, and one is now working with her father in India, and the other is in Seattle. There is another daughter in school in India.

Bill Patterson writes that they were on a four months' holiday in Australia and New Zealand, returning to Manila in August. He says that they are enjoying some cold weather there (June), it being the winter season, but that the change from the tropics is most beneficial.

John K. Bonter and Chester S. Brett Jr. have won a place on the Aegis board.

Kenneth A. Mac Donald (Mrs. Saville's son) has been elected secretary of Palaeopitus and Bob Whitcomb has been elected a member.

Reg Colley lectured in March on wood conservation before an advanced short course for tree wardens and town foresters, sponsored by the Massachusetts State College at Northampton.

Frederick C. Johnson is now health officer in the Town of Braintree, Mass.

Your Secretary was elected president of the General Alumni Association of the College at the annual meeting in June.

Harold (Cy) Wheat is president and treasurer of a corporation known as Canaan Street Lodge, Inc., which has taken over the Lodge in Canaan, N. H., a very nice place indeed to stay. It's on Crystal Lake, a mile or two out of Canaan. Hal Prescott spent a week there this summer, and others have stayed for briefer periods, and are enthusiastic about it.

Judge Emma Fall Schofield took a trip to Mexico City this summer, returning by airplane from San Antonio, Texas. Her son, Albert Schofield Jr., who accompanied her on the western trip, motored back with friends. During their stay in the West they visited another son, Parker Schofield, who is stationed at the Randolph Flying Field in Texas.

Your Executive Committee has already started plans for our Thirtieth Reunion next June. The Committee wants everyone to take and read the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, which will be used for Reunion publication purposes, and which you ought to take and read anyhow. As soon as the Committee can complete its Reunion plans and figure out the cost, you will receive a bill to cover both subscription to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE and the Reunion tax. Or, preferably, you can pay the MAGAZINE directly for your subscription and will be credited accordingly against the Reunion dues. In the meantime send me suggestions and comments for the benefit of the Committee. We doubt if many of the members of the class desire to be particularly strenuous outside of a little golf perhaps. The Committee is talking about holding a class dinner Saturday night, both for the members of the class and their wives, and perhaps an all-day outing on Sunday, but plans to date are tentative. But by the time this reaches you, any suggestions to be effective must be promptly forwarded. The Committee would like to hear from every member of the class.

Secretary, Room 922, 10 Post Office Sq., Boston

* 100% subscribers to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, on class group plan.
