The class is trekking toward the hills. The tower with bells a-toll, Like the ringing spire of an old white church, is our long awaited goal.

And that ends what started out as a gag and ended up taking much more space than we ever intended. Our apologies to the three or four men whose names got twisted in spelling between me and the final printing. And while we're at it we'll apologize for the editor who somehow got two lines reversed in the May installment so that neither the meter nor the rhyme came out right. However, I guess we can't complain when we figure that there were nearly 650 names blended into more than 200 lines of so-called verse. Well, it's high time we came through with some news.
Don't know what the story behind the move is, but Ted Harbaugh has just changed his address from St. Paul, Minn., to 2006 Riverview Court, Toledo, 14, Ohio.
From Collingswood, N. J., comes an announcement that Trudie and Ralph Specht have added a girl, Susan Denise, to their family as of March 11. And a very cute announcement it was, too.

By the way—hope you all received your class directories which were mailed out the end of March. We'll print address changes in the column from now on so you can keep your copy up-to-date. And let us have any corrections or changes. It's the only way we can tell where you are. There are some extra copies if anyone needs one. Just drop me a note.
The Boston gang is still riding that mad round of cocktail parties and I wish I lived a little closer to get in on some of them. On April 15, Mercer and Marion Curtis invited the crowd out to Marlboro. And on May 20 Dick and Polly Muzzy entertained all '35ers in the vicinity at their home in Wellesley. Haven't as yet heard who attended but we'll bet it was gay and congenial.
The college has just received word that Marjorie Wallace, wife of Johnny, who died of polio last September, had their fourth child and fourth boy on January 29, 1950. He, too, is named John.

Dr. and Mrs. Phelps P. Luria announce the birth of a son, Alex, on Sunday, February 26. This makes child and boy number two for the old Doc who, in case any of you are in need of help, is a specialist in Otolaryngology. (Hangnails, maybe, or ingrown hairs, Doc?) He's also going to reunion, y the way.
Bill Nevin has departed from his job with American Home Foods in New York and is now with Johnson & Johnson, New Brunswick, N. J., in their new grocery division. He's currently commuting back to Dobbs Ferry on weekends while scrounging for a new place to park the family.

Secondly, my old college roommate, Duke Lansberry, is getting married on May 6 to Miss Jane Townsan in Detroit and I am flying out to be his best man—always the best man!"
