Miss Godfrey was graduated from Abbot Academy in 1938 and is a senior at Wheaton College, Norton, Mass. Mr. Richardson was graduated from Tabor Academy and from Dartmouth College, Class of 1941. He is studying at Columbia University for the Master's Degree this year. The ties between old Dartmouth and youthful Wheaton are drawing closer. The Class felicitates these young people on their engagement.
Ed Richardson, whose health was not quite at top notch last spring, spent with his family a very pleasant summer on the Maine Coast and has returned to his residence in Dover, restored to his usual vigor. Here's hoping for a good winter, Ed!

C. C. Hills reports that he has had a very busy and pleasant summer. The sons of Eleazar are discovering that old farms in the vicinity of Norwich make very pleasant summer homes, with the result that the Norwich Town Clerk has picked up numerous recording fees on property transfers,—not to mention the fees earned by our own dealer in Norwich real estate.
C. C. saw Mr. and Mrs. Ed Richardson on their recent visit to Hanover.
C. C. and Mrs. Hills called on Marie McClary, widow of Arthur, and her family in Malone, N. Y., in September. They are reported as being well.

Clough Sr., of New London, on Thursday, September 25, in the Duke University Chapel. Dr. William P. Clough Jr., of New London served as best man. Following a short wedding trip through the Great Smoky Mountains, Dr. Clough and his bride took residence at 2 Brewer Parkway in Burlington, Vermont.

George and his family spent the summer on Bustin's Island in Casco Bay. They had a fine time swimming, playing golf and cruising among the islands of the Bay. George reports very pleasant association with Clarence Edwin Paddock, of the Class of 1900, and Thayer School '01, an old timer of that summer colony. George's stepson, Walter Menhinick, has entered Brown this fall. George reports that the boy is enjoying life in that fine University.
Judge Jim Donnelly reports spending much of the summer at his home in Worcester. By dint of driving daily a golf ball over the Worcester hills, Jim has reduced to his approximate weight at graduation and has transposed his waist-line for his chest-line.
In August Jim and Mrs. Donnelly drove to New London, took the ferry to the tip of Long Island, and drove through Southampton, East Hampton to Montauk. Then they went by easy runs along the South and North Shores of Long Island. While at the LaGuardia Airport, they saw the Dixie Clipper arrive from Lisbon. They drove from the Airport along the South Shore of Connecticut, spent a night at New Haven and the next day Jim had a crack at the tough Yale Golf Course. Later Jim and Mrs. Donnelly spent some time on Cape Cod with the girls.
Jim Jr., was a counselor in Camp Morgan at Washington, N. H. We regret that he injured his foot-ball knee at Camp. The Judge is hoping that Jim Jr. makes the honor roll again this year at Dartmouth. Daughter Rosemary is entering Northampton School of Girls in Northampton this fall to prepare for Smith College.
