1929
Full details about our Reunion Plans for June, 1948, will soon be made known and the 30th Reunion (in our 29th year) Committee will be named in the December issue of Class Notes. Why not make plans now to be in Hanover next June 18, and why not then make plans to meet again some time in 1949?
Spider Martin, in his last News Letter of August 30, gave us several items of interest about some of our classmates. He keeps track of the Grandfathers of 1919 almost as well as the list of contributors to the Alumni Fund. We have him to thank for more than we probably realize. Spider has done much to keep us organized as a class and to keep our interest more keenly alive in Dartmouth. His last news letter announced retirement from the post of Class Agent, after 23 years of conscientious and untiring devotion to a cause that paid dividends in friendships made and held.
To announce his successor through these notes is a pleasure, because he is well and favorably known to everyone of us—RoscoeA. Hayes. Rock retired as class vice president with President Jim Davis last June and gave way to Jack McCrillis of Newport, New Hampshire, who now understudies Dr. RobertM. (Bob) Stecher. Rock has aided Spider Martin in ail of the past Alumni Fund Campaigns, and as successor to E. E. Martin is welcome as our new Class Agent.
We will soon be hearing from Rock from his home in Newton Centre, or from his Boston business address, c/o Paine, Webber, Jackson and Curtis, 24 Federal Street.

Teto was vacationing on the ocean front at Southampton in June and July. Dr. Jack F. Moriarty of Hoboken was in Hanover in September with his oldest boy, Jack, who is planning his premedical course. Said Jack, "Really hated to leave the town on Friday—the temperature 28°, the campus covered with frost, and the sun starting to burn thru; that magic mist which we remember so vividly. Why can't someone dope out the impossible and roll us back 32 years?"
Howie Cole, one of Boston's leading attorneys (Brickley, Sears and Cole), has two daughters in college and will miss our June '48 reunion, as the older one graduates at that time.

Our prominent, yes famous, newspaper writer who holds first place among news men of our country and whose editorials and sports' stories continue to build circulation of the Boston Herald, Bill Cunningham, has recently been acclaimed in an article written by John Henry Cutler in the August "Esquire." We quote, "Cunningham is a Boston institution, laved and hated as an institution usually is. Magna vox of the Boston Herald, syndicated columnist, emcee, lecturer, and radio analyst on a coast-to-coast hookup, he writes each month the equivalent of a novel—and caramba, how the man writes! He has the most racy, buckety, slam-bang vocabulary in journalism.
"Cunningham's popularity stems from his ability to put himself in his readers' shoes and say things the way they'd like to say them. One day he may write a tearjerker about the kid next door that is as chokingly sentimental as a page out of Dickens. Another day he gleefully tells of his embarrassment when he was caught in a photo with Al Capone."
Bill, according to news in Editor and Publisher of June, is fighting for a new trial in a libel case brought in April by George W. Hartman, former leader of the Peace Now Movement who was given a verdict of $7,000 against Bill and the HeraldTraveler Corporation. Dr. Hartman sued for $250,000.
The Boston Herald of September 17, 1947, announced Bill Cunningham's latest journalistic effort in these words, "Here, in blissful serenity and calm, are the indefatigable and lion-hearted Bill Cunning? ham and the inimitable heroine of his hilarious new book, The Pearl of Her Sex (Putnam's: $2.50). The "Pearl," of course, is Mrs. Cunningham.
"Bill, who has had his say (and a forceful and pertinent 'say' it has always been) about sports and war, about uses and abuses and even kings and cabbages, turns now, as he has done occasionally in his well-read Herald columns, to family life as it is lived chez Cunningham and all the tender, ridiculous, rib tickling, frustrating things that manage to fill the time spent in its whirling milieu."
Tracy Kohl is president of the Oak Park Chamber of Commerce. (Lefty) Holden K.Farrar is treasurer of the Illinois Children's Home and Aid Society of Chicago, in addition to being a partner of Smith Barney and Company. Lefty has recently written an article entitled "Why Not a Businesslike Approach to Charitable Donations?" He is giving much of his time and ability to raise funds for this worthy charity.

A letter from Batch Batchelder gives us the following news on '19ers:
"In my travels this fall I have seen (1) Howard Boulton, the Squire of Spencer, Mass. Harriet and I spent an evening with Howard and his wife at the Woodstock Inn. They were on a motoring trip thru northern New England. Their son David is a junior at Bowdoin College. He prepped at Mount Hermon. Marcia, their daughter, is a senior at Northfield and is headed for Colby Junior College. (2) Stewart Wark.... several months ago, Stewie withdrew from his advertising agency responsibilities in New York and retired to the quiet life of a country gentleman on his farm in South Woodstock, Vt. He hadn't been there very long before the Elm Tree Press, a printing establishment in Woodstock village, discovered him and put him to work. Visitors will find him at the Press from late in the morning until early in the afternoon.
