Both Dave Kendall and Bob Bull have samples of their photography skills in the new Dartmouth in Portrait.
Rod Walser received several letters along with contributions of dues, and he sent them to me. Rod reports, by the way, that he has had good response to his appeal for class dues. If you have not already done so you are urged to send some money to Rod.
Rod had a letter from Jim Doole who is teaching school in Honolulu and apparently liking it. Jim says:
"I have no idea how long we all will be out here, but for the time being we are. enjoying it immensely. Already we have joined in with the group of real 'big wheels' who form the organization of the Dartmouth Alumni Club of Honolulu.
Johnny Brooks reports a rather large group of "D" men in attendance at Temple University Hospital, including Bill Ferguson, who has been pledged AKK.. Paul Roedel is studying at Trinity.

Bill Ashley has been awarded a scholarship given by Shell Oil and is attending the University of Wyoming, where he has recently been appointed varsity ski coach.
Sam Cutler has sent in another newsy letter. He complains of being stiff from shoveling away the heavy Christmas snow. At the Holy Cross game he saw Bob, LeftyGrunditz and John Mac Donald. Sam reports that John Truxal is now at M.I.T. as a graduate student and also an instructor in electrical engineering. Vic Smith is engaged to Vesta Elizabeth Starrett of Medford. She graduated from Bates with the class of 1947. George Barr is engaged to Betsy Bird of Dedham. Betsy, a junior at Wheaton College, made her debut in the 1945-46 season and she is a member of the Junior League and the Vincent Club of Boston.

And now for some news of where the working '45s can be found. Bill Portman is working for Procter and Gamble in Cincinnati. Phil Jackson is a ceramic pottery manufacturer in Elizabethtown, N. Y.

AI Russell is selling space for the trade publication for air-conditioning and refrigeration published by the Business News Publishing Company in Detroit.

Had a letter from Geof Maclay. He seems very busy with the Landish Company, wife, and son.
Steve Mann wrote from Long Island that he is Sales Manager of the H. J. Wandless Cos., Inc., international publisher's representatives. His job must be very interesting since it involves trips to Latin America from time to time. Steve and his wife, the former Ellen Banta of Colby Jr., have one son, Robert Foster, born in July of 1945.
John Callaghan sent a letter from Japan where he is now stationed in the Army. He has been there since June and is scheduled to stay there a year or so longer. John asked me to say hello for him to Jim Knowles, BillPortman, Bud Tyler, and the gang at the Phi Psi house.
