Cochairman in charge of Round-up of classmates for the Fifteenth is Charlie Doerr, who has recently returned from a swing around the country and reports great enthusiasm generating in all states for a return to Hanover in June. Co-Chairman in charge of Finances is John Zimmerman, one of the trustworthiest gents we could ever think of laying hands on.

All sorts of bulletins and bulls on the progress of reunion arrangements will be forthcoming in John's excellent sheet.

Gus Zimmerman's marriage to Isabele Nelmes took place at Trinity Church, Brooklyn, on January 4, as predicted in this column some time back. (Winchell please note). From the Bridgeport (Conn.) Herald comes a feature story on Dr. Milt Lieberthal of the same city, now back in civilian life after lengthy service in the army medical corps. Former managing editor of the Dartmouth Jack-o-Lantern, Milt took a special award in the Dr. Christian radio writing competition in 1945, and in 1946 it happened again. This time his script was called "Dr. Christian Tells a Lie," which had its world premiere in late January over CBS, with Jean Hersholt starring. The doctor relaxes from his medical operations by writing for other radio drama series, including GrandCentral Station and The Sheriff. The Herald showed a nice cut of Milt, with his wife and three boys: David, Kenneth, and Gary. New department head in anatomy at the Oregon Dental School in Portland is Dr. Ellis Jump, who took up his duties there in the February winter quarter. Jim Moore reports the name of his son, born October 18, 1946: it is Stephen Woodworth Moore, and at birth he weighed 61/2 lbs. stripped. They soon got him in swaddling clothes, however, and he is now, no doubt, pushing so lbs. Father Jim lives at 27 Shorehaven Lane, Manhasset, L. 1., and says that a new business arrangement with General Mills keeps him going 71/2 days a week and 25 hours a day.
As last month's cut and caption of BobCowden told his proud classmates, he has been named "outstanding young man of 1946" by the Dayton (O.) Junior Ass'n of Commerce. The OYS award is made by a committee of five, who comb industry, business, and the professions for the likeliest candidates and then work down to one, who has to be the best man in a fast league. Secretary and general counsel to the National Cash Register, Bob has been active in the YMCA, Chamber of Commerce, Bar Association, Rotary Club, and Church, as well as boasting a wife and two children. Among the faculty members who will serve at Graduate School of Banking run by the American Bankers Ass'n at Rutgers University for a week this June will be our own Bob Coltman, asst. vice president in charge of the investment dept. of the Provident Trust Cos., Philadelphia. Bob will lecture at Rutgers in the Investments major.
Nice letter from Johnny Merrill of 15 Chestnut St., Fitchburg, Mass., who wants to know whether there are any other members of the class living in or near Fitchburg. He already knows of Rog Needham o£ Gardner, though he doesn't mention Al Keyworth, of the CollierKeyworth baby-carriage company of Gardner. Sonny Foley sells for Chevrolet, Vassar Street, Cambridge, and lives at 57 Belmont, Rockland. Frank Kelliher is at 336 Reedsdale, Milton. Tom Foss is at 22 Howard, Holyoke; BillLieson at 137 Canterbury, Springfield. Anybody else in western Massachusetts? Give JohnMerrill a ring if you're within a few miles. He works at the General Electric plant in Fitchburg (Engineers' dept.), and has two sons (John Leverett Jr., who will be five on June 1, and Robert DeLong, who will be three in July). When and if they follow their pappy into Dartmouth they will be the fifth generation of Merrills to have been wearers of the Green.
A final roundelay on the subject of the Fifteenth, with apologies for syntactic elisions, strained rhymes, screaming inversions, and extra-metrical syllables:
Fifteenth Reunion Comes But Once: The-non-attender is a dunce, For June's the best of Dartmouth's months, And at our age we'll need no stunts Like squatter's tag or peanut hunts Or aught that keen enjoyment blunts. It's worth a couple extra grunts To plan to go: IT COMES BUT ONCE.
Secretary, 178 Prospect Ave., Princeton, N. J. Treasurer, Room 1801, 80 Maiden Lane New York 7, N. Y.
