1938*
Sandy and Jenot Mills announce the arrival of a daughter, unweighed and hirsute, as of December 1. Sandy says she had more hair at four days than he has now. Boit and Andrea Wiswall announce the arrival of Andrea Jr., too, as of November. Boit became father, officer, and gentleman that month, just having been commissioned a and lieutenant in the Quartermasters. We can't say where Boit is now, but we can probably count on his enjoying Algerian wine.
The next is what is known as a really belated notice. It concerns Tel Mook. In August, 1940, he married Jane Parker, Smith '39, and son Byron Telfer was born July 17, 1942. Tel graduated from Yale Law a year ago, was admitted to the District of Columbia bar in October, worked as legislative assistant in the office of administration of Agricultural Marketing Administration up to that time, and since then he's been in the Navy, attending the Navy Japanese Language School at the University of Colorado. The sons of the mother of men are now fathers.
By this time, Jack Lutz should be in training for the Signal Corps, and is probably at Fort Monmouth or Camp Crowder, though he may still be at one of the Civil Service Radio schools, still on inactive reserve, after which he'll go to one of the Army training centers. Jack says he's had visits from Gil and Fran Tanis, Bob and Norma Griffin, and Ed and Alice Hibler. Carl and Rita von Pechmann have been doing some visiting, too, only Rita happens to be a tame raccoon.

Vincent Dahlfred are engaged. Lieut. John Whelden, on duty overseas, and Edith Irwin, Shaker Heights and Connecticut College, are engaged. Ensign Doug Carroll, until recently in the Naval Supply Corps at Harvard, was married, December 24, to Alice Sisola, the Chicago flash. Lt. Frank Doane and wife Ann are still at Fort Stevens, Oregon.
Bud Walls is at Camp McCoy, Wis., and says the country around there reminds him a little of Hanover. Sorry I can't say the same about Georgia. We're about ready for our monthly get-together at the Dartmouth Club of Fort Benning, so if you're here, or coming here, be sure to make your presence known. Saw Tom Antrim working fever ishly in class the other day, and by the time you get this issue he'll be about ready to don those shiny gold bars. Needless to say, I'm still a school marm.
But to get back to the more momentous news, Lt. Pete Barnet, our expert on artillery ammunition textbooks at Aberdeen, was married Feb. 18 to Eleanor Gunst, Skidmore '41, and N. Y. A little more momentous, Fred Mayne at spouse announce the arrival of Frederick Hill Mayne Jr., as of January 11th.

Anne and Phil Harty set apart December 30th for 7 1b. 3 oz. Hilary Piper Harty. The enigma comes in calling her a "shipment of sweetness," and then saying that she looks like Phil. The father, will recover, but how about the baby? Joe Schaeffer sired a bewitching belle, 6 lb. 12 oz. Pamela Cady Schaeffer, nee Friday, November the 13th. Reports Thatch Seaver in England as a captain in the ground force of the Army Air Corps. Thinks young Seaver may be a possible suitor for passionate Pam.
