He has been associated with the John Hancock medical staff since 1926, except for two years when he was engaged in private practice. Bill had been associate medical director since January 1943.

Dr. Milton and Mrs. Aronowitz and family were in Hanover at the Inn for a few days before New Year's Eve last December. In January Bill Towler was there, and of course Jack Nelson and Mr. and Mrs. Parker Trowbridge, for Jack and Parker were attending the Alumni Council Meeting, the first meeting with President John Dickey.

Fred Page has been added as a member of the Reunion committee for the "Missed Thirtieth," on July 12-14.

Taps were sounded on January 20 in Washington for the late General George S. Patton Jr. in the first national tribute on American soil to the former commander of the Third Army, who met his death as the result of an automobile accident. Col. Harry H. Semmes, who served under General Patton in the two wars, spoke in tribute to the dead leader. The ceremony was held at the Washington Cathedral (Episcopalian), where General Patton worshipped when in the city. General Eisenhower and Admiral Chester Nimitz were among those present. The American Legion Tank Corps., Post No. 19, was renamed the George S. Patton Jr. Post.

Nathaniel Thayer is now at i East Silver, Westfield, Mass.

The Class Luncheons are to be started again now that there is food, and reservations (early ones) can be made: Patten's 11:45, noon on Wednesdays. But call the secretary, Liberty 1570, before you go, to be sure of time and date. Announcement will be made later. Come to talk over Reunion plans.

The proposed Reunion Weekend for those classes missing their 30th will be held with those missing their sth. On July 12, 13 and 14 the classes of 1913, 1914, 1915 and 1916 those we knew in college—will meet. With us will be also '3B, '39, '4O and '4l. On Friday there will be informal class gatherings followed by class baseball. The President's reception comes Friday at 8:30 followed by the Alumni Dance at the Gym. Saturday will be given over to picnics, class dinners, fraternity reunions and just plain visiting until the show starts at 9:00 P.M. in Webster Hall. Of course the day starts with the General Association of Alumni Meeting with President Dickey's address. On Sunday Class Memorial Services and the usual Sunday in Hanover, or else the picnic will be held at a place where those who have to return home that evening can "keep on going"—just as we did at Lebanon on our 25th. Here's a chance for a weekend trip or a vacation trip spent in and about Hanover and the East.
