PRINCETON GAME NOVEMBER 22 AT PRINCETON Bring your picnic lunch to the Terrace Club in Princeton. Bob Cleary has made arrangements similar to last year for the class to picnic on the terrace and grounds of the club, which is handily situated near Palmer Stadium.
The Belleview-Biltmore Hotel Corporation of Belleair, Florida, has recently announced the appointment of Don Church as its manager for the 1947-48 season. Speaking not from personal observation, but from a perusal of the hotel leaflet, we state without reservation (pardon the unintended pun) that this establishment is really something. Don's appointment is not only a major undertaking for him but a real tribute to his stature in the hotel management field. Located at Belleair, Florida, on the Gulf coast, eighteen miles north of St. Petersburg, and in its own park of some six hundred acres, the hotel is the largest and certainly one of the finest resorts on the Florida west coast, or anywhere else for that matter. We shall suffer for Don as we think of him trudging to work all winter in a spot like that!
Don, as you probably'remember, has been associated for many summers with FrankDodge '11 in the management of the famous old Mountain View House up in Whitefield, New Hampshire, which itself is without a peer up in God's country. During the winter seasons Don has been connected with such well-known establishments as the Breakers and Whitehall at Palm Beach, the Carolina at Pinehurst, and the Camelback Inn at Phoenix, Arizona. It must be a very tough life, but Manager Church is obviously thriving on it.
A real honor has recently come to WeeMcClintock. In September, at a special convention of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire, Wee was nominated for bishop coadjutor of the diocese, to assist, and eventually succeed, our good and esteemed friend, Bishop John Dallas, who will retire next April. Several other candidates were also nominated at the convention, which, for the first time in the history of the diocese, became deadlocked in the election and adjourned without selecting Bishop Dallas' successor. Whether or not Wee is finally chosen, the nomination itself is something to be mighty proud of; it was made by his former parishioners of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Lancaster, N. H., which was Wee's first church after he received his theological degree (Episcopal Theological School, Cambridge) and was elevated to the priesthood in 1929. In 1938, he was called to the Church of the Messiah in Auburndale, Mass., where, among other things, the parish has doubled during Wee's nine-year tenure and a completely new (and debt-free) church edifice has been built to replace the one destroyed by fire a few years ago.

Jack Bickford is vice-president of Capital Administration Company, Ltd., an investment trust in New York. Ed Hanlon, our faithful N. Y. correspondent, sends a clipping from the Times to the effect that "Dr. Courtney C.Brown, director, petroleum economics division, Standard Oil of N. J., will address the opening fall meeting of the Northern New Jersey chapter of the American Marketing Association" .... Ed also points out that TomColt is listed in "Who's Who" and wonders how many other '26ers may be so honored. Will all "Who's Who'ers" please so indicate promptly to the secretary; if you do we can publish an interesting class statistic.
Ken Andler's vocation is the practice of law up in Newport, N. H., but his avocation is writing. He has been a regular contributor to New Hampshire's famous and excellent little Troubadour magazine, and he had a story, "Surveyor In The Woods," in the July issue of Harper's.

Two new appointments for Jim Oberlander; last spring Jim was one of three men named to the first State Boxing Commission in Vermont history; this summer he became a member of the Football Advisory Committee at Hanover, about which you probably have seen or will see more elsewhere in the MAGAZINE. Bill Cunningham had some nice things to say about Jim in a recent Boston Herald column, contrasting Jim's career with that of Red Grange and others who left college in a hurry to cash in on the professional football gravy train. To his great credit Jim elected to build his successful medical career the longer and harder way.

What a life those Hanoverites lead! Even a weekend of it leaves you walking on air.
