In as much as the exchange system between Dave Hewitt and me has not yet begun to operate efficiently, the news of the month is a bit on the short side. This situation, however, can be expected as the Class Secretaries endeavor to fulfill the request made by the MAGAZINE at the spring meetings in Hanover.

Howie Brundage, vice president, treasurer, and secretary of John Hay Whitney's Plymouth Rock Publications, Inc., released in an interview last August the facts and figures behind this new mass media corporation. This information was released to you through the Newsletter so I will not repeat it in toto. However, the extensiveness of this new operation makes fascinating reading, and I for one will follow its development with extreme interest. Howie, who resigned his partnership with the J. H. Whitney Co. to take this new position, is to be congratulated.

Westminster College announces the appointment of associate professor Paul Pillsbury as assistant professor of English and Journalism. Paul has a Master's degree from the University of Michigan and expects to complete his doctorate there this year.

Evans Research and Development Corp. announces the return of Dr. Kurt Konigsbacher from a tour of Europe in which he visited various laboratories and organizations which have made important advances in the chemistry and biochemistry of flavor. Kurt is the food and flavor scientist of the above corporation.

Jerry Farrell ran for the nomination as Democratic candidate for representative from the 7th Hampden district in Massachusetts. I don't know whether he made it or not, but here's hoping his effort was a successful one.

Larry Bellows serves as Products Brand Manager for Bristol-Myers of Canada, Ltd. Architect Harold Breen is now a partner in the firm of Robert Zion-Harold Breen, 141 E. 44th St., N. Y. Ted Douglas works in Radio Sales with the American Broadcasting Co.

Here's a hot tip for any of you infected with that charming but costly sport of kings, horseracing. When next May rolls around and the old Kentucky Derby itch becomes unbearable, drop a line to the General Manager of the Henry Clay Hotel in Louisville, Warren Schleicher. Perhaps he can find a closet in the hotel in which you can hang your blanket. I'm sure he'll give it a try, anyway, and treat you to a mint julep, suh.

I've run dry except to inform you that the next meeting of the class Executive Committee is planned for November 28 and 29 in Hanover. The Committee has foregone its usual fall football weekend because of the importance of this meeting and the great number of items on the agenda. Again a cordial welcome to any of you who chance to be in the vicinity to drop in and partake in the get-together. And, please, make Treasurer Barney Oldfield's report to the Committee a happy one.

Secretary, Middlesex School, Concord, Mass.

Treasurer, 5143 Stoney Ridge, North Ridgeville, Ohio
