Jim Steen, Chairman of the 40th Reunion Committee, reports that the program for the Reunion is all set and, following the plan that was so successful for our 35th Reunion, there will be a minimum of scheduled events, leaving plenty of time for all of us to sit around and visit with other classmates. Before this appears in print, a communication to all of the class will have gone out giving detailed information and inviting a return of intentions so that the committee will have some idea how many '12ers will be on hand next June. Alice Brennock Day is Chairman of the Women's Committee and will communicate with and round up all of the widows of deceased classmates who can be contacted. I recently had lunch with Alice and Jim, when the Reunion Committees' plans were discussed, and I know that the activities of our anniversary are in good hands. Lyme Amiewill be able to give more detailed information in his issues of The Billboard. However, mark the dates down now and make your own plans for return to Hanover.

To stimulate the enthusiasm of members of the class in, the New York area, a class dinner was held at the Dartmouth Club of New York, on the evening of February 7. Jim Steen told of the general outline of the reunion program. The following classmates gathered for cocktails and dinner: Irv Goss, Jack Cronin, JimSteen, Randy Burns, Unc Bellows, Garry Garrison, Dick Remsen, Hal Freund, Doc O'Connor, Harry McCaffrey and Heinie Urion.

Again comes the news of the death of another classmate. Arthur Rex Forbush, who was with us only one or two years, died in Washington, D. C., on February 25 after a long illness, at the age of 58 years. He was in charge of correspondence for Franklin D. Roosevelt's first presidential compaign and later was Deputy Administrator of NRA under the late General Hugh Johnson. With his wife he was co-author of books, magazine and newspaper syndicated articles, and was formerly an account executive with New York advertising agencies: In recent years he was well known as a breeder of bull dogs and as a judge at Dog Shows in the East and Midwest.

After spending the winter in Hollywood, Fla., in their luxurious trailer, Bud and Barbara Hoban started their trek north the middle of March. On their journey they called on as many old and new campers of their boys' camp, Camp Wallula at New London. N. H., as they could reach. In Baltimore they had a visit with George Hoban's widow and family, and expect to spend a week or ten days in New York and vicinity early in April. In Hollywood they experienced one baby hurricane when their trailer home rocked, cocoanuts flew hither and yon from the palm trees, and many awnings in the park and in Hollywood were ripped to shreds. For the most part, however, they enjoyed sunny warm days, with the water excellent for swimming, and the nights cool and pleasant. They were glad to miss the "big snow" that New England experienced in February. I am looking forward to my usual spring visit with Bud when he is in New York.

Recent visitors at Hanover Inn were KenKimball and Hal Fuller and his wife.

Some of the Dartmouth men of other classes who attended Doc O'Connor's 6oth Birthday Dinner at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel on January 6 were: President John Dickey '29, Robert Jackson 'oo, Killy Kilmarx '22, Frank Horan '22, Sig Larmon 'l4 and Clarke Tobin 'lO. It was a shock to hear of Clarke Tobin's death a few days later.
