The Class is proud to have Cal Billings and Chuck Bruder among the newly elected members of the Dartmouth Alumni Council. Although their two-year terms don't start until July 1, they have been invited to attend the June meeting of the Council in Hanover. Cal was elected by the alumni in the New England states and Chuck was elected by the Bequest & Estate Planning Chairmen of the various classes, at their annual meeting in Hanover on May 2.

Cal has held so 'many Dartmouth offices that we can list only a few of them here: Treasurer and Secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Hartford, Conn., assistant class agent for over 25 years and Class Agent for the past three years. In 1955 he received the award as the Best Club Secretary of the year. He is a partner in George M. Billings & Co., mortgage bankers.

A high point of the weekend was a hastily arranged '28 party on Saturday afternoon at Jim Campion's new home on a mountain near Etna. From Jim's living room you get a wonderful view of Hanover and the mountains in New Hampshire, Vermont and New York. After cocktails, and a delicious dinner sent out from the Hanover Inn via young Jim Campion, we all drove back to College Hall to see the latest Dartmouth movies After the movies the party continued in Craig's and my room at the Hanover Inn

Ranney, who had come from Cleveland to attend parents' weekend at her son David's fraternity, Delta Upsilon; Betty Breyfogle, of Norwich, Vt.; Red and Chili Edgar of Winchester, Mass.; and Herb and Mimi Sensenig,of Norwich. It was decided that Jim's place would be an ideal place for a '28 reunion!

Everyone was asked for news" of course, and we learned that Mimi Sensenig has been teaching Professor Schlossmacher's German classes since his illness and death, and has had Jack and Fran Kenerson's son in one of her classes.

Bill Embler, was the principal speaker at the 32nd annual dinner meeting of the Schenectady Bureau of Municipal Research on March 24. Arvis Chalmers, of the Albany Knickerbocker News, recently did a feature article on Bill which he started out by saying that former Governor Harriman once described William James Embler as "a Republican I wish were on our side." The tiibute was to a man who seldom sees his name in print, but who plays a key role behind the scenes in the Republican party in New York State. He is head of a small research staff for the majority party in the Assembly and for the past four years has helped make party policy, assisted in writing the GOP legislative program and served as an "idea man" for the Republican high command. Before going to work for state government, he was one of its severest critics as editor of a taxpayer publication. The writer of the profile said Bill is a prodigious worker, but has had to cut down his schedule somewhat since a heart attack last vear.
