GREETINGS TWOTERS: Reunion plans are forging ahead, so says Carter Hoyt and his reunion committee, though the program may be simplified from original ideas. Apparently all of the classes scheduled for reunion will return for the week-end of May 15, 16, and 17, so there will be ample activity and diversion available in Hanover beyond our own planned schedule.

Be sure to answer promptly and completely the Reunion questionnaire that should be in your hands by this time. Your committee will appreciate it.

I had the great pleasure, a short time ago, of chewing the fat with Frank Horan in New York. An announcement just received speaks of his association as of February 1, with the well known law firm of Webster 8c Garside, 15 Broad Street.

Charley Earle was another Twoter that I enjoyed seeing recently. Charley is lining up the publicity angle for reunion in great style.

Leonard (Red) McCoun, the Omaha creamery man, spent an evening recently with Bob Turnbull in Detroit. Bob, as you know, is associated with the Specialties Distributing Company and has recently changed his address to 525 E. Jefferson Ave. Visitors please note!

Joe Perkins is assistant steward at the Danvers (Mass.) State Hospital and with his family lives at 100 Essex St., Salem.

Parker Meade has definitely settled down in San Diego and tells us his permanent address is 4143 Sunset Blvd., Mission Hills.

Did you know that Ed McNamara is still running the W. T. Grant Store in Johnstown, Pa.?

Well, Joe Talbot certainly crashed through and won the Fifth District (Conn.) Congressional seat. Joe's election was given a great deal of publicity and he is the first Republican to be elected Congressman from his district since 1932. Another interesting feature of the campaign, about which I receive clippings and letters from eight or nine different sources, was that Joe's opponent was Johnny Monagan '33, another Dartmouth man. Joe's election serves to cap his political career. His stepping stones to date are Prosecuting Attorney and Judge of the Naugatuck Court, State Treasurer, and State Compensation Commissioner.

Mai Clarke who has recently moved to Bronxville, N. Y. writes me a note to the effect that he and his family are living at 20 Meadow Ave., and at the Bronxville High School he teaches Spanish and assists in football and gym supervision. This summer he will run the boys school-camp at St. Johnsbury Academy in Vermont so it looks as though Mai was in for an active time.

You all know that Hanover Holiday is to continue this year, as heretofore, and will take in the full week of May 11 to 16. From other columns you. will gain information regarding its program. Several Twoters have attended in past years and this typical comment from Tony Hanlon tells you how much you'll miss if you don't sign up this year:

"Carter Hoyt has suggested that I drop you a line giving my impressions of Hanover Holiday, it being his idea to get as many of the class as possible back for all or part of the Holiday as a sort of prelude to our reunion. That is a splendid idea. Those who are thus able to return to Hanover early will, so to speak, have the kettle boiling a bit by the time the rest arrive, and the reunion will get off to a flying start.

"Hanover Holiday is a grand institution. Whoever thought of it certainly did something for Dartmouth and for her Alumni and their wives and families. I can say truthfully that I never spent a happier week in my entire life than the week in Hanover last June—and my wife concurs with me in this opinion. We enjoyed every minute of it—the lectures (which were really exciting affairs, especially the question periods that followed), the golf and tennis, the picnics and barbeques, the trip to Whitefield in the White Mountains, and the friendliness and good fellowship in evidence everywhere we turned. Most of us were quartered in Hitchcock, and we found the valet service very good. Formalities were dispensed with, and after the first day we were 'just one big family.'

"We had a lot of fun and yet had a wonderful rest. No one seemed interested in dissipating very much. Maybe we're getting old (or perhaps just wise). We did have a fling or two, and someone was always having a cocktail party in their room before dinner, but on the whole there were few big heads and dark brown tastes. "I hope we can get a goodly number to

go back early. It will give those who do a real chance to renew those close bonds of fellowship which were so abruptly severed twenty years ago, and I'm sure it will make the reunion itself much more enjoyable for everyone. Those who try Hanover Holiday once will be back there for it every year, come hell or high water."

Thanks Tony, that's a swell letter! Well, boys, it won't be long now. May will be here before we know it. Plan on Reunion—and Hanover Holiday, too!

Remember May—15—16—17!

See you next month.
