Herb Mitchell, '07's reunion agent for the Chicago area, makes a preliminary report that " .... you can count on two of us: BubCoombs and myself." We are confident that Herb's later reports will swell the list.

You can't keep a good man down, as the following quotations from the New York Dartmouth Club News indicate: "George Liscomb '07, recently acquired by the club in a crafty swap with the Boston club, already is on the ball. President Dickey, on his recent visit to the club, endorsed George's outline for a general reinauguration of the Hovey Hum Spring Festival by Dartmouth clubs throughout the country." ...." 'lrish' Flanigan '23 and Major Liscomb '07 headed the club's delegation to the Boston Alumni dinner February 26. Both registered at the Wheelock Tavern, a novel backstage reproduction of early days on the Hanover Plain and ideal for post dinner songsters."

Our British Columbian classmate, JosephA. O'Connor, LL.B., Barrister, writes from Vancouver, B. C., that it is doubtful if he will be able to return to '07's 40th. Two years ago Joe flew back to New England and during his visit called on Mr. and Mrs. "Mai" Taylor. He also reports meeting Mr. and Mrs. Cummings in Vancouver a few years ago. Presumably he means Bill and Helen, who have failed to report their visit to British Columbia. Joe has been a citizen of Canada for nearly 40 years and he promises to tell the story of his career and experiences one of these days.
