1946

Again this month your Editor was privileged to attend a meeting of Alumni Officers in Hanover where, by the way, this column was written. The meetings were very interesting and informative. As I have told you before in this column our Class has no permanent records, a sad plight for a Class as young and large as ours. Within the very near future this situation will be remedied. Every member of the Class will soon receive a form letter and a blank to be filled in and returned to me. It is important that we receive 100% cooperation from all in this project. The in- formation you send me will be transcribed into our permanent records. Keep this in mind and kindly give it your immediate attention when you receive it.

The "Hanover Scene" remains about the same. The weather has opened up and once again the area is occupied by Greens in various stages of dress and undress soaking up the sun on the golf course, tennis courts, ball diamonds, etc. The seniors are trying to get their papers done, get ready for comps and finals and clean up any loose ends before leaving town for the last time.

The Rt. Reverend John T. Heistand, Bishop of Harrisburg, ordained to the Sacred Order of Deacons Paul Chapman KintzingJr. on April 20 at Christ Episcopal Church, Williamsport, Pa. Rev. Robert H. Porter was ordained a priest by Rt. Rev. Francis C. Hall, Protestant Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire, at St. Thomas' Church here in Hanover on April 10. Porter has been serving as deacon in charge of St. Luke's Church of Woodsville and the Church of the Epiphany in Lisbon. He will remain with his present parishes.

I know you will all be sorry to learn o£ the death of Charles B. Jackson on April 14 in Washington, Indiana. (See "In Memoriam.")

Again we ease into the marriage and engagement department where there is always plenty of activity. Jake "the Growler" Whitman and Jean Blakely of Belmont, Mass. were married in that town on March 19. JohnnyRankin was a usher for Jack. The couple will live in Chicago for the next year.

Bill Striker and Marjorie Burditt of Wakefield, Mass. will be married in June. At present Bill is continuing his studies in physics and German at Lafayette College. NelsonNewcomb and Gloria Henry of Lakewood, Ohio announced their engagement in February. Looking back over this list, I don't think there can be £OO many single men left.

That about winds it up until next fall. As usual I'd like to make my monthly plea for letters from you guys. It's getting fairly ridiculous. I can count my letters from you on one hand. All it takes is a penny post card
