1913
Has spring arrived for you yet? As we write, snow and sleet on top of all we have had makes spring's arrival here dubious—in spite of the Flower Show.

Bill Pierce from W. Barrington, R. 1., already plans on Hanover Holiday as well as the Reunion. Those who stayed on for this week of lectures and resting in Hanover have been enthusiastic about the entire proposition.
Fred Hovey has a reunion idea still in line with the Bull Moose up around his place on top of Etna: we have plenty of fellows in Thirteen who can shoot the bull, so he suggests we send a couple up in May to pick out a good fat one who has been living on his grass, corn, blueberry shoots and petunias and shoot him for a class barbecue. We think John Remsen and the secretary may take him up on May 15.

Eric Foster has to" go up to Candia, N. H., for apple tree pruning and spraying for his Easter vacation and is also planning on the Reunion trip.
We have to go to press before the "Mop" case will be argued before the Supreme Court in Washington. More later.

Tom Sullivan became Lt. Col. Sullivan on May 2, 1947. He received the Army Commendation Ribbon, June 10, 1946, cited by Brig. Gen. B. M. Bryan, USA, the Provost Marshal General, USA, for having "served with distinction" in P.M.G.O. in connection with the Prisoners of War Division P.M.G.O. program. We have reported his hospitalization in Tokyo, Japan, but now know he spent six months in Oliver General Hospital, Augusta, Ga., from November 1946 to May 1947. He was retired to Inactive Duty, July 1, 1947—G00d luck, Tom!

SONS OF 1913 AT HAMILTON COLLEGE: Don- ald S. Dunbar '43, left, and Richard A. Buffum, right, have three things very much in common. First, they are both sons of men in the Class of 1913, Vic- tor Y. Dunbar and Charles E. Buffum, respectively; secondly, they are both new instructors at Hamilton College, where Buffum teaches political science and Dunbar teaches psychology; and thirdly, since neither is what you might call a "graybeard," they have both been mistaken for students.
