Those of you for whom the thought of an autumn weekend in Hanover still holds an irresistible attraction will want to be reminded of the plan for a get-together on October 9-11, the weekend of the Brown football game. To form a nucleus for this informal reunion, Art Allen is calling an official meeting at that time of the Class executive committee which, in case your memory is no better than your correspondent's, includes Baker, Bartlett, Chandler, Curtis,Drew, Hazen, Mackenzie, Morton, Pierpont,Sargeant, Sheldon, Stern, Wentworth, and Whitehair, plus the Class officers ex officio.

If you want to attend this happy powwow, make reservations as soon as possible with Mr. Borden Avery, Bonnie Oaks, Fairlee, Vt. You can request either inn or bungalow accommodations. In either case the rate is $14 per person per day, the minimum reservation is for two days, and a deposit of $25 per couple is requested at the time of reservation. This rate includes three meals daily, which will be with the Class group, with the option of a box lunch for Saturday noon. We are assured that accommodations are available for as many of you as can come, so make your reservations now.

A friendly letter (the chief recompense for this assignment) from Chuck Adkins, vice president for development and public relations at Wheaton College, speaks of his interesting college administrative work and a happy but "confusing" home life in Foxboro with four daughters, the oldest of whom will be ready for college this fall. Chuck mentions that he gets to see Dawn and Handy Auten in Hanover from time to time, and that he and Virginia recently spent a pleasant weekend with Janet and Jay Whitechair at their home in Scarsdale, N. Y. He also receives a lot of incidental visits from Dartmouth men of all classes who bring their daughters to Wheaton for application interviews.

A new addition to the select group of college administrators from our Class is RonOlmstead who is resigning as treasurer of the Utica Drop Forge and Tool Co., a post he has held for the past thirteen years, to become Controller of the University of New Hampshire. His appointment was announced by the University on January 31.
