These are the dates: . Monday through Wednesday, June 11-13, 1956! Then, belatedly, in the good company of 1921 and 1922, Twenty will assemble for its 35th Reunion. Elsewhere in the MAGAZINE, or in other official bulletins, the whys and the wherefores will have been explained. What's most important is that this novel scheduling, successfully adopted a year ago by other classes, assures us of the peace, the quiet, the calm detachment, no longer common to June weekends on the Hanover Plain. For many of us a timing of vacations may be required to meet the situation. If so, it may be assumed that no other vacation planning could look toward happier outcomes. Reunion Chairmen Frank Moulton and Harry Sampson will shortly be supporting this point of view with promotional literature calculated to stir and spur the most sluggish soul.

$$$, of course, are needed to set the caravan in motion. It's your annual class dues that not only bring you the MAGAZINE itself but also build the necessary surplus for the forthcoming 35th Directory and for the preliminaries to the reunion. If your bill for our modest dues (five bucks, as usual), is accumulating dust in the top desk drawer, kindly haul it out, write the check, and let Roc Elliott know that you're on the bandwagon.

Roc - more power to him! — was hospitalized in mid-October, working his way out of a "lobar embolus." He has to take it easy for a period of weeks, but during that time good wife Dolly will be doing her stint as Assistant Class Treasurer and any funds received will find their way promptly into the 1920 bank account. Send your good wishes, along with your check, to the best of class treasurers.

In Hanover the setting of our reunion stage is already under way. At the time of the Holy Cross game, as already reported in the Green Sheet by able and articulate Al Foley, some secretarial snooping was done. Interruption of an Andretta-Parkes domestic foursome on the Inn porch produced the news that Sal and wife Pat are greatly enjoying their new summer home in West Avon, Conn., a stopping-off place between Washington and Hanover. Young Jim Parkes, met at that time, has since been spotted among those present (at guard) in the Lafayette game lineup.... Buttons andEva Hill, queried on commuting across the mountain to home games, recommended box lunches as the only answer to gustatory problems. ... Don Harris, cheerful undergoer of several serious operations on his throat, was reported to be in line for early transfer from the Veterans Hospital in White River Junction to his retirement home in Bellows Falls. ... Al Frey's new book, How Many Dollars forAdvertising? hopped from the presses and confronted the Madison Ave. fraternity on September 30. Ronald Press, as usual, did the publishing for Al Pat and Rita Holbrook expressed readiness to apply themselves to the problem of luring more Twenties to the Hanover front for home games when the foliage is fullest.

Johnny Amsden, elected an honorary member of the New Hampshire Hospital Association, may well treasure the resolution which accompanied his election. It whereased on the generous time, thought, and effort John has given, through the ten years of his Mary Hitchcock presidency, to the planning and building of an enlarged hospital, while acknowledging at the same time his "outstanding aid to the Association in all phases of its work."

Another pre-reunion warm-up took place at the Dartmouth Club of New York October 18, when Twenty foregathered with: '21 and '22 to listen proudly to Honorary Classmate, Dean Joe McDonald. Joe carried out his mission with great honor to his adopted class. Eddie Bowen came down from Albany, but too few of the locals could combat the earlyseason commuting hazards. Spence Snedecor was there from Jersey, however, reminiscing over August's Hurricane Diane and its perils to anyone like himself, off Shinnecock shore without a rudder. Another Jersey commuter present, John Felli, is no longer just the father of three but is also the grandfather of an equal number. John's youngest daughter is in her last year at Bradford Junior College. Charlie McGoughran reported a vacation rounded out in his Norfolk, Conn., place, with all kinds of weather blowing at him and Dorothy from all sides. Lek Wiilard, who needed four and a half hours to bring him in from Southport, Conn., where the current flood activity had focussed its fury, confirmed his continuing ownership of that handy vacation place down the Lyme Road but reported sadly that his daughters have outgrown Oak Hill as a base for skiing operations. NewtNash and Dick Pearson were the other two Twenties present. Newt was barely off the boat as one of the fourteen American delegates returning from the Comity Maritime Internationale, which had been meeting in Madrid. He worked his way back byway of Paris, Belgium, Wales, and other whistle stops.

Ed, Bowen turned in the following blow-by-blow as an aftermath to his New York junket: "Had a long schedule at the office Wednesday and as a consequence arrived home at dinner time all worn out. We went to hear Arnold Toynbee in the evening and will have a repeat tonight during our three-day Congress of Religion at Work." Men of varied interests, and comparatively tireless, these Twenties!

Bulletin from Tommy Thomson:

"Had a fine two months in Monterey (Calif.) with daughter Barbara and her husband, who is going to the Navy Postgraduate School there. Great country. Want to go back. Did a little fishing and the big one got away as usual. It was a salmon. Got in lots of bridge and did all right at the rubber game. They play'a lot of duplicate out there and some games are big league. Wife and I had fun and hope we learned something. Spent a week on my sister's farm in Oregon where we celebrated my mother's 85th birthday. Rested up there and flew back from Portland."

Idly turning the pages of the Engineeringand Mining Journal for August, your classnoter found his editorial eye fastened upon the lead article entitled "The Price of Copper, 1955"1975'" by William P. Shea, Statistician, C. Tennant, Sons & Co. This, of course, is none other than our Bill. His piece tells about the world use and production of copper, where the U.S. stands with respect to same, and how these matters (including prices) are going to look ten or twenty years from now. The next move for any reporter was obviously consultation with copper tycoon Carl Lenz of Kennecott. "He's bound to be right" (or words to that effect), said Carl, - "If it's in the E and MJournal, it's so!"

Here's a belated bit - but a mighty nice one. Thanks to Paul Venneman '26, a BuffaloEvening News item has come to hand, telling how Anne Mack, Sel's widow, acquired her bachelor-of-laws degree from the University of Buffalo last June, with two of her grandchildren looking on. She was slated to start practice this fall, while one of her sons, Bill, matriculated at Yale Law School.

Your secretary mourns with special, personal feeling the passing of Johnny Moore, whose In Memoriam notice appears in this issue. Mostly because of John, Dartmouth heelers Pearson and McPartlin joined Delta Tau Delta; and thereafter the three vied with each other in flights of journalistic fancy. John had a fine flair for words, best expressed in the free-wheeling leads he wrote for sports stories in The Dartmouth. Robust, impatient, scornful of pretense, he was a creature of boundless enthusiasms and massive indignations. He was an awful lot of fun.
