Secretary, 40 Byron Rd., Weston 93, Mass.

Treasurer, 165 Marlboro St., Wollaston 70, Mass.

Bequest Chairman,

It may seem a long time to next June or your next vacation - having probably just finished yours - but it is not too early to make a note that our 45th Reunion is coming up in June 1958. The dates are set for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, June 9-10-11. Bill Hands has accepted the chairmanship and you'll be hearing more from him later.

Gov Foss is reported to be with Stone & Webster, P. O. Box 51, Ozone Park, N. Y. Isn't there a race track in that vicinity? JimWulpi has retired after 24 years with TransWorld Airlines. He can be reached at Sap- phire Manor Apts., Hi, Brevard, N. C. In a letter from Pres. Ellsworth Buck he nonchalantly remarks "Incidentally, I retire on June 3 as Chairman of the Board of L. A. Dreyfus Company but will continue on as a director." When .you read these notes the Buck family will be somewhere in Europe, maybe Scandinavia, maybe Paris. They are due back in the States in November. Mrs. Thomas A. Shaw, Jr. (Marcia Barnes, daughter of W. W. Barnes) lives in Alpine, N. J. Her husband, of Princeton extraction, reports she is an ardent Dartmouth Alumna.

Treasurer Batchelder was hospitalized last August, but is back on his feet again. Bino Knight has rejoined the "Grandpappy Derby" with the advent of Johnathan Goodnow Knight, son of Professor and Mrs. Walter David Knight Jr. Bino reports the parents deliriously happy and confesses to the same sentiments. Can you imagine Bino being delirious even for such a cause? Doc Kingsford has retired and returned to his farm in East Wakefield, N. H. He says there is too much to do to leave time for hunting or fishing. Among his several projects is some chemical research aimed at saving the chestnut trees. Clarence Thin 111 m has retired and is at the Veterans Administration Center, Mountain Home, Tenn. John Reardon is a member of the Board of Education, Watertown, Conn., chairman of the Civic Forum, and vice-president of the Watertown Foundation. Last April he addressed the League of Women Voters of Waterbury, Conn., on the subject "The Crisis in Secondary Education in Connecticut." Pretty busy for a retired school master! Thorndike Saville was awarded an honorary Doctor of Science at New York University Commencement in June. HerbAustin combined business and pleasure on a trip to California and then Hawaii. Meetings of Kiwanis and Newspaper Editors Association were the excuse. More of this later in the Newsletter.

An interesting letter from Gail Girdner sending along a copy of "Arizona Highways" which contains an article on "The Pioneer Store." This story, authored by Gail, tells of the store, operated by his father, in the early days of the West. A picture of the interior shows some of the customers and clerks — one looking suspiciously like the author in his younger days. C.ail writes; "It is of purely local interest and I cannot imagine any 'proper Bostonian' wanting to read it. Anyway here it is, and for good measure, I am throwing in a copy of a local weekly paper that has mention of a '14er. Your job appears to be riding herd on all '14ers, so throw this in the corral and shut the gate on it." Before shutting the gate, other '14ers should know that "The Messenger" showed a picture of Gail and made comments on his early and later life in Prescott, his college days, his military activities, cattle ranching and song writing. All of this was in connection with the celebration of the 70th Annual Frontier Days Celebration, July 4-7.

Charlie O'Connor writes of his interest in all activities tied in with the College and those who were in Hanover at the same time as our crowd. His daughter Carol, graduate of Smith, is now a psychiatric social worker with The Family Society in Boston. Son, Robert, after some years with the State Department, is now assistant to the VicePresident for Management, The Ford Foun- dation. It would be pleasant if all of you would be as informative as Charlie in bringing the Class Records up to date. It would be very nice if you would write Charlie who does not get out much and depends on calls and letters to keep himself informed.

J. Parker Margeson has retired and has moved to Riverside Drive - not New York - but West Harwich, Mass., down on Cape Cod. His post-office is Box 214. As you see in the special story, Dud Colby has also retired and his address now is 3812 Dewey Avenue, Omaha 5, Neb. Other new addresses are; Myron Files, Moraine St., Marshfield, Mass.; Alden Littlefield, 100 Halsey St., Providence 6, R. I.; Win Ross, 20 Charnwood Road, Medford 55, Mass.: Wilson Adams, Apt. 4, 61 Cleveland St., Orange, N. J.
