I had previously hoped to publish results of the electionjfor the class executive committee this month, but election returns are not yet complete. Another month should do the trick.

A short time after graduation this summer, we received a letter from Charlie Marshall. He had just started work for E. B. Badger & Sons of Boston, in their drafting room, but had received an offer for a job in the General Electric Test Engineering Program so expected to make the change soon. Rube Samuels., in preparation for his work towards his Master's Degree in Soil Mechanics at Harvard this fall, spent the summer working with a core-drill crew for the New York State Highway Department doing soil investigation work for a new parkway bridge.

Roy Chenderlin has written an interesting letter. After graduation over a year ago, Roy returned to his home town, Cincinnati, Ohio, where he is living with his wife Ginny. Roy is a district representative for Power Transmissions Sales Inc., which is a manufacturer's representative whose sales territory is the state of Ohio. The manufacturers they represent produce power transmission equipment. Roy enjoys the freedom of the work and also an expense

account to cover his necessary travels through the state.

Leon Cunningham, whose home port is now Kansas City, Missouri, has recently been temporarily transferred to New Bern, N. C., where he is resident engineer during the construction of a power plant that his company designed. Leo is not too happy with the activities offered by New Bern, but he was able to get away for a long week-end over Labor Day for a trip to Washington, D. C., where his wife Cathy was spending a two-week vacation. Leo expects to be back in Kansas City by the first of next year.

Roy Cahoon reports that he and John Anthony, Bun Harvey, Ben Brewster, and PaulBlake spent an enjoyable evening together, as did many other Dartmouth friends, at Dartmouth night at Pops early this summer. Roy was married a year ago to Louise McLellan in Hyde Park, where he is now living, and works for the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad. Ben Brewster should have completed his business administration course at MIT this early summer. Bun Harvey and Paul Blake were planning to spend two weeks this summer at the Marine training course at Quantico.

K. C. Drew has been teaching industrial organization at Western Electric. Dave Wilcox is learning the telephone business as a business representative for the New England Telephone Company in their Lowell office. He has just recently completed a short business course given by the Company. Dave confirmed the information I had indirectly received that Bob Price was married this summer to a girl he had met while studying at Princeton this past year. George Fellers, after working for a while for the Coast and Geodetic Survey and later for the Tennessee Valley Authority in Knoxville, Tennessee, on transmission line work, has decided to further his education, starting in September at Johns Hopkins.

Chuck Howard, Dick Madison, Bob Keane, and John Tower, are all back in Hanover after the summer's vacation. Chuck spent the summer in the small mining town of Bicknell, Indiana, and is now back at Thayer for his final semester. Bob Keane worked this summer on a construction job in New Jersey, while Dick Madison gained valuable business experience in the summer employ of a Buffalo business firm. John Tower is continuing his Dartmouth medical studies after a planned summer's work in cost accounting department of a local Meriden, Conn., industrial plant.

When last heard from, Wade Barnes was living in Boston and working for Charles T. Main Inc., and is satisfied to be only a few hours traveling time from Nashua. Ed Byrkit is back in Hanover teaching surveying and structures at Thayer School and also expects to spend some time on a research project. Willis Caryl was expecting to spend this coming school .year at the University of Colorado, more for the advantageous skiing conditions than for the academic life. Will spent the past year teaching chemistry and other related subjects at a co-educational prep school in Connecticut. After graduation from Rensselaer this summer, Hjalmar "Moon" Sundin planned to do some work at the University of Illinois in sanitary engineering, after working for the State of New York during the summer months in the same field.

Please send some information to me. It was necessary to scrape the bottom of the barrel to get this column out.
