Buffum and Grover Fox got together in Philadelphia early in January and talked over the coming big reunion. "He showedme a birthday card," writes Buff, "coveredthe bottom, and asked if I had ever seenthe person, and 'believe it or be wrong,' Irecognized it at once."
George Davidson has moved his office to Florida for the winter as usual, and is at Palm Beach. If you are headed for that section let him know at Box 2142, Station A.
Sid Akerstrom is back in this country now from sea duty, and is at the U. S. Naval Training Station at Newport, R. I. This should mean that he and Lillian will be in Hanover without fail.
Jim Loy Maloney lives in Flossmoor, 111., and is city editor of the Tribune. The sympathy of the class goes to "Pat" on the death of his mother last year in Rockford. Mrs. Maloney was prominent in religious and club activities. She had served as vice president of the Woman's Missionary Society of the United Lutheran Church of America and was a former president of the Rockford Y. W. C. A.
Jack Macdonald is back on Long Island with an office address of 5105 Second St., Long Island City.
Carlton K. "Cully" Welsh heads the school board in Rockford, 111. Mayor Brown appointed Attorney Welsh president of the board of education. Cully is president of the Winnebago County Bar Association and has been federal referee in bankruptcy for four years. He is a member of the firm of Welsh and Welsh. Cully's son is about fifteen years old, and will be headed for Dartmouth in a few years we presume.
John Vander Pyl, son of Chet Vander Pyl, is now a freshman at Roanoke College in Salem, Va. As the course is but two years at Roanoke, he hopes to transfer to finish the last two years at Dartmouth.
Nat Perry, son of Stephen K. Perry, is spending his second year at Vermont Academy and expects to graduate in June. This season he is managing the varsity basketball team.
Gordon Cushman, son of Dr. Frank H. Cushraan, is taking an active interest in school life. He is on the Life Board, in the Glee Club, a member of the Dramatic Club, and an ardent ski enthusiast. Incidentally his father and sister spent the January 8 week-end in Saxtons River skiing with Gordon, or "Pete," as he is called. Gerald O. Miller is assistant purchasing agent at the Clift Hotel in San Francisco and lives at 400 Hyde St. Hope he can make the trip East in June this year
Line Wilson also in San Francisco, general agent of the French Line at 222 Stockton St., writes that he cannot make the trip until fall, so will have to miss the reunion Chester Vander Pyl is with E. H. Edwards Cos., wire rope, also in San Franqisco, but lives in Burlingame at 2313 Poppy Drive.
Dave Morey is spending the winter at Oak Bluffs, and planning on an early return to Bates and a trip to Hanover for the reunion. The June visit should be especially enjoyable to Dave, as he'll not have a football team on his hands, as in the case of all recent trips to the old town.
Ward H. Harris, lawyer, has his office now at 1617 Conway Bldg., Chicago, 111., while his home is in Evanston on Payne Ave. We are looking for him to join the group coming from Chicago to Hanover in June Fred R. Neumeister is now in Muskegon, Mich., at 333 Houston Ave.
'13 UP
Only once in a lifetime comes a Twenty- Fifth Reunion. Plan now for the event next June.
Arrival on Friday and no set program for afternoon or evening except to get reacquainted in the big tent and to roam about town and the campus. Plans are made to have a tent at the dormitory, where breakfast will be served each morning. You'll not have to go downtown unless you wish. This tent will also serve as a meeting place, throughout the day and night, large enough to accommodate all.
Saturday: Baseball, the Alumni Luncheon, Class Picture, Class Meeting, Class Dinner, followed by movies of Hanover undergraduate life with especial emphasis on football and the Outing Club's activities including Carnival. The wives will see the Players until the movies are ready, and then all will gather at one of the fraternity houses for an informal party.
On Sunday morning the Class Memorial Service or Meeting will be held in the Chapel.
The Lebanon Country Club has been reserved for the Sunday "Picnic"—golf, bridge, "visiting," and a real Clam-Bake in true New England fashion. Roy Lewis 'l2 and his crew, famous for their Bakes, have promised to outdo all previous successes. The big advantage of this location is the short distance from Hanover for driving and the fact that it is on the way home for those in Boston, New York, etc., who have to leave Sunday afternoon or evening. We will own the clubhouse and course for the day. Don't leave, however; come back for "Hanover Holiday."
The dormitory to be assigned for our use at Commencement will depend upon the reservations received after the Commencement notices are mailed by the College. As soon as you receive this notice and blank, please fill out and mail it direct to Hanover. One of the best groups of dorms on the east side of the campus will be available if our response is satisfactory. "Do it now" as soon as the notices are received from Hanover.
You may get fed up with requests for signatures, reports, and dope between now and June, but please realize it is comparatively easy for you to give information requested. Imagine, if you can, the work assembling all the answers. Just give us the answers when requested and we'll do the rest.
The following have signed up already and will be waiting for you in Hanover. This list is not complete, we know, so send in your present intentions:—

POST-REUNION
HANOVER HOLIDAY
After previous reunions a "post-reunion" at Whitefield at the Mt. View House has been in order. This year we plan to stay on right in Hanover, at least all those who want a few days of golf, mountain trips, outdoor life, or just hanging around in the most wonderful village in the world. As you know, the College tried an experiment called "Hanover Holiday" last June, during the week after Commencement. Those of the alumni who came were so enthusiastic that they plan another this year. Read the details in this issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. The general idea of the Hanover Holiday is to get the alumni back to Hanover, with their families or without, at Hanover's very best time of year, to renew acquaintances with the town, the faculty, and current intellectual developments. The College offers ten of the best talks, not "lectures," by good speakers, on interesting and controversial subjects that beg for discussion from the floor. Those who attended last year will agree that the contributions made by alumni from all over the country were of great value to all attending the talks, including the faculty! Contacts of just this sort between the College and alumni are highly desirable, and indeed a partial fulfillment by the College of its duty to its graduates.
HANOVER HOLIDAY
In addition to this part of the program, there is every opportunity for tennis, golf, swimming, and all the outdoor life of a Hanover June. For the children Ford Sayre at the Inn offers a thoroughly sound course of instruction in outing club life with competent instructors. Last year a sizable group of children had the time of their lives. For the smaller ones there is a kindergarten with sand piles and all the rest.
Another cheerful feature of the Holiday is its cost. Ford Sayre will put you up at the Inn for as little as $9.00 for the six days, without meals, or $21.00 with meals. A room and bath for two, with meals, is $24.00 for each person. The Holiday ticket is $5.00 more. The outing club school for children is $5.00. Where in the world can you find a better week's vacation for less than $30.00?
Don't take my word for it, although all of you will probably admit that I have never given you a "bum steer" for reunion plans intentionally. Ask those who were there last year, but read the details in this issue anyway. More on this part of our own reunion later.
