Your Secretary went to Hanover over the week-end of May 7 to attend an Alumni Council committee meeting. This happened to be the week of the Green Key Prom, which interested your Secretary, particularly because numerous sons and daughters of '09 were also in Hanover for the party. I am quite sure that I missed several of them, but undoubtedly all the undergraduate sons attended, and also Mary and Tommy Worthen, Ruth, Phyllis, and Junior Hazelton. I happened to be calling on the Hazeltons just as the girls and Junior were leaving. Junior in a white coat looked as big as Sid. Ruth and Phyllis, of course, are unusually attractive ladies, had very pretty and most becoming new dresses for the affair, and if I had been a mere twenty years younger, I should have been quite envious of their escorts. But after a fairly busy day, etc., the thought of dancing from ten until daybreak and then going through with another busy day lost much of its glamour.

The Carrolls went up and so did Clark Saville. Bob Carroll is one of the two reserve infielders on the varsity baseball team, and a very "nifty" ball player. Young Kenneth Mac Donald had a very attractive guest for the week-end. He is one of the leading factotums of the Outing Club.

Chet Brett's daughter is on the recently published list of Boston debutantes for the coming season. We hope the wool business is good!

Jim Driscoll is playing on the Manchester Country Club golf team, but lost in a recent match that the Manchester team had with the Dartmouth Varsity. So did most of the rest of the Manchester matched team.

Henry Erhard's son won the two-mile in the Dartmouth-Harvard track meet-for Harvard.

About a year from the time this reaches you we will be in Hanover for our Thirtieth. Be sure and subscribe to the MAGAZINE next year because much, if not all, of our reunion news and notices will appear only in the MAGAZINE. Also, start making plans, preparations, and financial reserves accordingly. Those who attended our Twenty-fifth will agree that in spite of the fact that it was held in the depths of the depression it was the happiest and most enjoyable one we have had yet. "We are glad we went." Be sure and get there.

Herb Walker has moved from Kansas City, and is now located at 3341 Charleston, Houston, Texas.

Hal Foreman attended the dinner recently given in Chicago in honor of John T McCutcheon, dean of American cartoonists. Hal is senior vice president of the American National Bank and Trust Company, Chicago.
