Part of your summer vacation is all planned for you, so you might as well relax and enjoy it. You're going to spend the weekend of July 26-27-28 in Hanover, when the class holds its one-year-late 20th Reunion.

You'll also see your friends in the classes of '23, '24 and '26 which are having their Reunions the same weekend. We'll see that you get all the gas and tires you need from your rationing board, and Ross McKenney has already started putting away a flock of steaks marked "1925."

Complete dope will be sent to you later on but, meantime, have "July 26" tattooed on your forehead.

Horton Conrad, our new class chairman who stepped into Chet Bolle's place, after Chet's tragic accident, has appointed PeteBlodgett, Ken Hill and Nate Bugbee a committee to pick a Reunion chairman. Brice Disque, former lieutenant colonel in the Air Forces, has been named manager of the Radio Production Dept. of Compton Advertising, Inc., which handles a large part of the Procter & Gamble, Socony-Vacuum and other accounts. According to the New York papers, he is operating head of the department with general supervision over all the agency's radio shows.

Brice recently wrote us a note about some of the '2sers he's seen:

Al Perkins is now an associate editor of Look and is also teaching a course in radio writing at New York University I saw Charlie Graydon who was over in Europe when I was. He was a major in charge of counter-intelligence with the Second Air Division (they flew B-245) DonMoore recently took me to luncheon at the Dutch Treat Club—and it was a treat, too. Don's job as Eastern Story Editor of Warner Bros, is an interesting one I'm glad to hear that Paul Hexter is back in Cleveland with the Arco Paint Cos. I saw him in England, as a major in camouflage work and sweating out transportation to the States J.'.ck Mahool was recently in New York over Christmas, having come from Germany where he is working in radio for the U. S. Government. He's a civilian in uniform. He's gone back to Germany.

Ken Hill, this column's mainstay in Boston writes:

While I was in New York last week, I met Johnny Garrod and his wife outside the Commodore. We were all trying to get a cab to see an evening show. We saw and thoroughly enjoyed "Harvey," and who should be sitting in the same row with us but Don Hunt and his wife. So you see, we Bostonians get around.

Cliff Hill spent the last two weeks in January at the Vick Chemical Corporation in New York. Then he flew to Mexico City to spend three weeks at Acapulco (Hotel De Los Americas), followed by a few days each in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Presumably around March 1-15 he will start serious work with Vick Chemical in New York as assistant to the President.

Bob Pierce is general manager of Nolan Brown Motors, Inc., the Cadillac agency in Miami. He'll take orders by mail—if you're not in too much of a hurry.

WANTED: Switch boards, telephones, telephone operators (blondes preferred), etc., for busy Larchmont, N. Y„ office of N. Y. Telephone Cos. Write harassed manager—JackRoche, Corlies Ave., Pelham, N. Y.

Bob Myers pursues the insurance business with Cole, Inc., in Pittsburgh. He lives at the University Club.

"Doc" Tanzer was promoted from major to lieutenant colonel before he left the Army and returned to the Medical School in Hanover.

Phil Coykendall is now an engineer with the David Bohannon Organization in California. His address is 859 San Mateo Drive, San Mateo, Calif.
