As we write this, the first issue of Big Green Football News has just arrived (a good take at $2 for weekly coverage of the games—a little late for this year, now, but you may want to remember it early next fall), and we hasten to crow about the sons of two of our classmates mentioned therein. Jarv Chapman's senior son, Charles J., 5'11" and 190 lbs., will be seen at right guard wearing number 63. Chuck was at left guard last year and won his letter. He captained the undefeated Darien, Conn., High team in '56 and won All-State honors. His brother Larry is a sophomore.

Wearing number 14 and hailing from Richmond, Va., Bill King's son, William Haven King, will be at quarterback. He's 6' and weighs 170. Last year he won the first string spot from another freshman who supposedly came into school with the frosh quarterbacking job all sewed up. He came from St. Christopher's School in Richmond where he played football, baseball and basketball. He has one drawback. He works for a tobacco auctioneer in the summer and his teammates have a hard job understanding him in the huddle.

Don't confuse him with Tom King, number 21, at left halfback, from whom you will also hear a lot. On the subject of confusion, we can claim no credit for kinship to Richard Beattie, number 18, at quarterback. You might look, also, for number 82 at left end, Carl Funke, whose dad of the same name is '35.

Before we get on to several success stories, we mention with sadness the sudden passing of Bunny Mudge and Eber Resnick's loss of his wife, Flora, both in early September. A more complete story on Bun appears in the In Memoriam section. Flora (Vollgraf) Resnick was a graduate nurse from Roches ter (N. Y.) General Hospital where Eber interned. Their daughter, Janelle, and sons, Peter and Paul, also survive. To both families go the sincerest sympathies of the Class.

Last month we reported on Ed Thurber's engagement to Miss Mary Jane Bush of New York and Nantucket. News reaches us slowly and we now learn that Ed actually left the ranks of the bachelors on June 23. Our apologies and, again, our congratulations. A plug now for your Class treasury. You'll hear from George Farrand separately on this, but give him and the Class a break right now and send your check, if you haven't done so.

In June, S. Heagan Bayles was elected chairman and chief executive officer of Sullivan, Stauffer, Colwell and Bayles, Inc., the New York advertising agency which had billings of $46,000,000 in 1959 and ranked nineteenth among United States agencies. Heag, a biography major and Phi Bete in Hanover, went directly into advertising with Ruthrauff and Ryan, Inc. in New York where he rose to vice-president and director of that agency, as well as co-director of its radio department. In 1946, he left that organization and founded the present agency with the other men whose names appear above. He and Gladys live in Port Washington, N. Y., and have three children, Elizabeth, Samuel H., Jr., and Christina. Community service, tennis, and fishing are his hobbies. During the War, he served in the Information Service and is the author of several books on radio and television.

Space does not permit inclusion here of the three, full-length column story on Art Connelly recently appearing in the Lynn papers and citing him for his acknowledgment in the trade as one of the top candymakers in New England. Bob Fox will give you the details in his next Newsletter. Art lives in nearby Lynnfield, Mass., with Mary and their children, Danny and Eileen. Every day finds Art rising before the sun to get an early start on following the family tradition of making fresh candy daily. After a full day's work, you can generally find him at the Salem Country Club where he still shoots in the low 70s. His son Danny is following in his tracks - was outstanding in high school football and made the regional allstar team. Art's war service was with the Medics. Besides the Lynn store, he operates Salem House, an authentic reproduction in whose design he played a major part, on Route 1 in Danvers, Mass. You'll miss an outstanding example of early New England architecture and really superior candies - as well as a pleasant chat with Art, if you don't stop when you're in the area.

Johnny Monagan is up for reelection as Congressman from the Fifth District in Connecticut. While he approves of the choice of John F. Kennedy as his party's nominee, he doesn't want to "ride his coattails" into office, but prefers to stand on his own record in Congress during the past two years. And well he might. Among his accomplishments for his constituents during his freshman term in Congress are major highway and flood control improvements. John, however, is no spendthrift and opposed a $2,000,000 flood control project on the basis that it "represented an unnecessary extension of federal activity." Can't you hear the Republicans in the class saying, "Doesn't sound much like a Democrat, does he?" Well, be quiet! We understand that John is presenting a bill to the next Congress giving lifetime exemption from federal income taxes to all dues-paying members of the Class of '33.

Don Murray was appointed in June to the chairmanship of Beloit College's department of modern languages of which he has been a member since 1936. He received his master's degree at Harvard and his doctorate from Stanford. In addition, he has studied at Universities in Canada, Mexico and France. Don is a former president of the Beloit chapter of Phi Beta Kappa and currently is national president of Phi Sigma lota, honorary romance language fraternity. During World War 11, he served with counter intelligence in the Far East. He has been active on many committees at the college and, at present, heads the faculty committee on educational planning. Don is married to the former Arlene Taylor, sister of George C. Smith of our class. They have two children Andrea and Cameron.

Slight interruption. Cliff Johnson just called to see if he could join the bunch for the Penn game activities. Seems Uncle Sam chose to wait until today to deliver about fifty pieces of mail from the summer, and Cliff found his July Newsletter and ticket applications in the lot. He heads the H. A. Johnson Co., food merchants serving the institutional trade, and hasn't slowed down a bit since college. He and Bess live in Wellesley Hills with their two youngsters, Helen and David.
