Dartmouth Night here in New York at the Dartmouth Club turned up quite a few familiar '44 faces. Among those present were: Bob Allen, still working on Wall Street: George Bruce; Bill Brewster, nearing graduation from P. and S. and planning to intern at Bellevue; Mac Corner, working as an engineer in New York; Junie Hoffman, with his arm in a sling and operating out of Chelsea Naval Hospital temporarily; Al Howland, stationed at Navy Headquarters on Pine St. here in New York City; Nick Daukas, Brad Long and Dave Merrill all at N. Y. U. Med. JunieHoffman told us that Fred Kennedy, wounded on either Iwo or Okinawa, was also at Chelsea and doing very well. Also that Al Barrett had stopped a piece of shrapnel and Joe Bryer had been wounded in the Pacific. Best wishes to all for rapid, full recoveries. Still further news from Junie is that Dave Judson is currently operating an LCI off the China coast. Whitey Fuller, the DCAC drum-beater, was bubbling with enthusiasm over the expected return of numerous '44 athletes next year to bolster the athletic teams. His eyes gleamed as he mentioned Ave Clark, Gus Clucas, Harry Hood,Tom Douglas, Russ Isner, Bob McLaughry,Bob Meyers, Dick Revenaugh, Jack Riley, JoeMcDevitt, and Dave Templeton.

Some information on a subject of great interest to all of us has recently been released from Hanover, namely—the subject of reunions. Plans are going ahead for reunions to be held in Hanover this next summer. Of course, according to the old five years reunion schedule we are not slated for a regular reunion until 1949. However, the idea of a special weekend, or weekends, next summer for the "homecoming" of members of classes '42-'4B inclusive has been advanced and thus far has met with much favor. The date has been tentatively set for August 2-3, 1946, the whole thing, of course, being predicated on conditions in the college with regard to dormitory and feeding facilities as they can be fore- told at the present. On the basis of current predictions the college will be able to provide dormitory rooms and meals for members of the classes '42-'4B who would be able to get to Hanover for the proposed "homecoming weekend." If necessary, two weekends may be scheduled, August 2-3 and August 9-10. All questions and comments on this idea as well as suggestions for a program will be very gratefully received. How about dropping a line to that effect?
