The death of John Redington, noted in another column, is a poignant grief to us all. From the beginning of our existence as a class, now just fifty years in the past, the Redington twins, almost identical in outward aspect, have played a leading role in our organization and have maintained a warm place in our affections. Paul went from us four years ago. John, his business life bringing him back again to the New Hampshire scenes which he cherished so much, was with us at the June Round-up at North Sutton; virile, active, enthusiastic as of old, seemingly in the best of health, apparently the most youthful of us all. Within a month an unsuspected heart weakness carried him off with tragic suddenness. No one of our number was more cherished than he and no one will be more sadly missed in our future gatherings.

Arthur Martin, known in undergraduate days as the "Duke of York," also died during the summer. He had little or no association with the class in the years since graduation.

The following marriages of children of the class are recorded during the summer:

Mary French Buck, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Burton W. Buck, was married on August 10 at the Franklin Street Church, Manchester, N. H„ to Owen J. Smith, of Brookline, Mass. Mrs. Smith is a graduate of Wellesley, a member of Phi Beta Kappa and has done graduate work at M.I.T. and Radcliffe. Recently she has been employed as a mathematician in the laboratories of M.I.T. The bridegroom, a graduate of Harvard and formerly captain in the Army, is now a student in the Harvard Business School.

Morton Chase Tuttle, son of the late Donold and Mrs. Tuttle, was married on July 27 to Miss Carolyn Elizabeth Hilliard at the South Congregational Church, Concord, N. H.

News, somewhat belated, has also been received of the marriage of Lt. (jg) Sidney H. Phillips, son of Mrs. Joan and the late Julian W. Phillips, to Miss Jane Elizabeth Branson. The ceremony took place at the Holy Trinity Church, Melbourne, Fla., on February 8.

A reunion of the Wallace family took place in July. Three sisters from points so diverse as Pasadena, Cal., Mt. Dora, Fla., and Littleton, N. H., came together at Arthur's home at Nashua, N. H„ for the first time in fifteen years. The festivities included an automobile trip in Maine, extending as far as Bar Harbor.

The retirement of Arthur Roberts as Senior Master and Head of the English Department at St. George's School, Middleton, R. 1., took place at the end of the school year. Arthur has served the school for forty-three of the fifty years of its existence, attaining a position in the respect and affections of the undergraduates of the institution, well set forth in an article of appreciation published by the school paper, The Red and White. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts will make their home at "Topping," Summit Road, Natick, Mass.
