On March 10, Audrey Armstrong and JohnL. Taylor Jr. were married in Elkton, Md. Shaw Livermore is an economist for the Rockefeller Bros., Inc. His wife, the former Evelyn Taylor whom he married in 1926, is a doctor. Their son, Shaw Jr., is on the Princeton faculty and their daughter Gloria is a member of the faculty at Wellesley College.

Tom Byrne has made a career of the Windsor, Vt„ school system. He has been a part of it ever since leaving college and now is superintendent of schools there. Tom bought a farm for his home several years ago and the house is large. He would be delighted to have you visit him whenever you are in that area.

An interesting feature article about A. Pollack Boyd and his golfing prowess appeared in the March 16 issue of the Chattanooga News Free Press. It recalled the fact that Red captained the Dartmouth golf team in 1922 and won the National Intercollegiate championship that same year. It recited his subsequent triumphs on the links, which included nine city titles between 1928 and 1941 and the State title in 1930, a repetition of his achievements in 1920, 1921 and 1922. A golfing associate has claimed that at his peak and weighing just over a hundred, Red was "the greatest golfer in the world - pound for pound." As a director and representative of the United States Golf Association, Red continues his interest in the game which has been so much a part of his life.

One of the rewards of class office is the annual weekend in Hanover to attend meetings as the guest of the College. Your scribe has just returned from the 1956 visitation on which he was accompanied by the Little Woman. Jack Dodd was there for the meeting of Class Agents and Len Morrissey, accompanied by Margaret, was there for the meetings of reunion chairmen. Not all of our time was consumed by meetings, so Jack, Len and I had opportunity to discuss the affairs of our own class with particular emphasis on the current Alumni Fund and the fast approaching reunion.

While in Hanover, Jack received the Fund report as of May 1. It showed that our class had achieved 57% of its assigned quota which certainly is encouraging and an indication that we are well on our way. But there is much yet to be done, particularly in the area of participation. Because this is our reunion year and thus a year of special meaning to the class, it should be the occasion for attaining a record participation percentage and for raising a fund well in excess of the assigned quota. As you read these notes the current campaign will be entering the home stretch. If you have not made your contribution I urge you to do so generously and without delay. Let's go to reunion with the Fund task well in hand.

And let's go to reunion! Len has had a good response to his first mailing piece. It is such as to be assurance that we are going to have a good turnout of classmates, wives and progeny. A second and final mailing will have reached you in the latter part of May and we know from past experience that this will result in a significant number of additional affirmative replies. When you have read the list of returning classmates that will appear in the next Twoter you will realize how important it is that you be in Hanover June 11-13 (Monday-Wednesday) for the premature THIRTY-FIFTH. Remember — it doesn't happen again for six years.

In the interests of the Wilkes-Barre, Pa.,Sesquicentennial, Doug Storer '21 (center)meets with George Clewell '22 (r) and Dr.Eugene Farley, president of Wilkes College.
