Tilt larry Days announce the recent mearriageaf their daughter, Lucille, to Mr. Harold Severance.

We understand that Everett Barnard has developed into a cook of the first magnitude—perhaps we should say "chef." The church suppers and breakfasts over which he presides have become quite famous in this part of Middlesex County. We heard recently of such a brotherhood breakfast for which Everett had to cook five hundred

... or maybe it was five thousand sausages, along with a corresponding quantity of flapjacks, eggs, etc., etc. The implications of such a menu seem staggering in the light of the preparation of an omelet in our menage and we must attend one of these meals soon. When not cooking, Everett is occupied with the wool business located at 253 Summer Street, Boston.

Al Overton writes from Terre Haute, Indiana, that after being with one concern ever since leaving school, he is now on his own as a partner of the Pease-Overton Lumber Co, Inc., and he says that although working longer and making less money he is enjoying it thoroughly. He has two sons, Tom and Jerry, and hopes they are well on their way to Hanover. Al regrets that his location prevents him from seeing many classmates, and hopes that anyone passing through his city will be sure and look him up.

There is one aspect of the class subscription plan for the ALUMNI MAGAZINE which undoubtedly has escaped the attention of some of us. Budgeting carefully, your class officers hoped that out of the small excess of dues over MAGAZINE subscriptions, sufficient funds would be left to provide the MAGAZINE for a few boys who otherwise could not receive it. These are lads who, through either ill fortune or disability, are deprived of many of the little luxuries of life which most of us enjoy. If at a reunion the hat were passed to collect money to send them the MAGAZINE, everyone would shell up, and gladly. The case is right now that we need class dues and, hence, subscriptions, from about a score more men to balance our class budget and take care of these other men. Your class officers feel sure that among the absentees it must be just carelessness, so won't you take the necessary action right now?

We know you like to get the MAGAZINE and we know that some of our boys would keenly miss it, but unless these additional subscriptions are forthcoming it may be that this otherwise extra list may have to be discontinued, which we feel sure would be regretted by all. Won't you do your part right now?

Chuck Kingsley has severed his connection with the legal department of Ingersoll- Rand Company and has now become counsel to the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, with headquarters at Bethpage, New York. Congratulations, Chuck, and when, if and as we have any airplane trouble we shall let you know.

We have a letter from String Howe now located at 515 Comstock Avenue, Syracuse, a stone's throw from the University where his son, Lyman, is a freshman in Forestry, and his daughter, Julia, a senior in Home Economics. String says he leads the usual old folks' life with children in college, making sandwiches and retiring to the breakfast nook when the swing music starts. He is still with the Porter Cable Machine Company and reports good business. Incidentally, his boy Lyman is a radio ham operating W8TJH and would like to contact other Dartmouth hams.

Al Humphries belatedly tells us that his boy, Alfred W., graduated from Dartmouth last June and is now back at Hanover taking his second year in Medicine. Al is a neighbor of Lize Wheelock and reports seeing our chaplain on the golf links recently, but says nothing of the score. It was nice to hear from you, Al.

Continuing with the "Als," Brother Tukey is still in Omaha. He has two daughters. Catherine Ann, age nineteen, is a sophomore at Bennington College. Unfortunately she had to lose the first semester this year because of illness. Lydia, seventeen, is a senior at the Milwaukee-Downer Seminary.

Speaking of Al reminds us of a story told by Kid Claeys. Walking through the Hotel Crillon in Paris during the American Legion Convention there, he heard from behind a large marble pillar, a loud voice extrolling the virtues of Omaha, telling the world that the implications in the thencurrent hit Idiots Delight was a libel on the name of the fair city. Peeking around the corner Kid said, "That's right. You guessed it. It was Tukey."

Jim Wulpi is now Interline Traffic Manager of the Transcontinental and Western Airlines, Inc., with headquarters at the Airport in Kansas City, Missouri.

Another bit of news is that Caleb Niles recently received the appointment of Superintendent of Schools in Berlin, New Hampshire. Good luck, Caleb!

Walt Humphrey has a new address—75 White Oak Street, New Rochelle, New York.

Steve Fordham is in the real estate business, with offices at 223 Wakelee Avenue, Ansonia, Connecticut.

Jack Conners reports having seen Lavin, Pritchard, Larmon, Englehorn, Elkins, Hopkins and Remsen, at the Yale game.

We had a very pleasant get-together the night before the Harvard game. With nothing much in the way of football to worry about, and everyone reasonably sure about the outcome of the election, a pleasant evening was had by all. Jim Healy and Rocky Flanders led a hilarious story-telling bout. Cap Lawrence had a couple of snappy numbers and the rest of the boys more or less joined in. It was a grand evening and reminiscent of gatherings at the Fence during senior year. Among those present were Barnard, Pooler, Lawrence, Hopkins, Nichols, Taft, Peppard, Pritchard, Piane, Flanders, Draper, Day, Potter, Healy, Sullivan, Lowell, Aborn, Herlihy, and Leech. Sig Larmon was prevented by business from attending but he was on hand for the game the next day.

Hal Pease accompanies his check for class dues with the mere notation that he has two children in college, and that things are going nicely with him.

Our very best wishes for a Merry Christmas, and may New Year's Day be the beginning of a Better New Year!

Secretary, 16 Grove St., West Medford, Mass.

Treasurer, The Stanley Works Amer. Tube & Stamping Plant Bridgeport, Conn.
