The bulletin on his summer school at Lyndon Centre, Vermont, has been issued recently by Mai Clarke. If you have an educational problem with a boy of high school age, maybe Mai can help you. His school did a great deal for our youngster last summer.

Clark Bristol dropped in at Walt Sands' office the other day and from there visited with me by telephone. Clark makes more or less frequent trips to Boston from his Montpelier headquarters but tends to let business interfere to the extent that he seldom leaves time for social activities.

Odie Lee and I went to New Britain one week-end in March to watch Bill Jr. play in the National Junior Badminton Tournament. Who should we run into but Jack Taylor who was there to watch Jack Jr. play. Jack and I were rooting for our boys to meet in the finals of the singles and it looked for a while as though they might. But eventually Jack Jr. lost in the semi-finals to the boy who defeated Bill Jr. in the finals.

I had a short visit with Oley Olsen after the annual dinner and meeting of the Boston Tuck School group. As usual, Oley presented his report to the meeting in an able manner.

Long before this you have received a communication from Andy Marshall in connection with the proposed 25th Year Book. Andy asked two things. Have you done them? If you have not, will you do them now? The two things were:

1. To send Carroll Dwight a check for $10 for your copy of the book with the understanding that eventually you will receive a refund for the difference if the actual cost is less than $10 per book.

2. To send Cecil Goldbeck autobiography material and a picture of yourself if you had not done that already in response to Cecil's earlier requests.

Concerning the Alumni Fund, you have had Stan Miner's report on what is needed to achieve the objective. It goes without saying that we are going to meet our quota. This is the year when we are going over the top. All that is needed is acceptance by you and you and you of a fair share of the task. The cause is worthy—the need is great. Give early and give liberally, please.
