1950

Here we are with the month that comes in lyin' and takes it on the lamb like an infant sheep. But since the ides of taxes are upon us in the next few weeks, maybe April should be so described in future generations. Very weighty problem, better submit to a committee to study and perhaps have some arbitration on the matter. Whatever the results, it will always be "schlump" season, too late for schussing except in the northernmost climes and too early for golf except far South. Even the mail bag has been effected, but we're glad to have one interesting item for

Had a nice note from Jean and Mar Benner in Omaha where the 1950 Big Green population is doing nicely, nicely. Three male offspring including Bruce, latest addition, inhabit the Benner abode, and fellow 50's George Carpenter and John Rogers round out the older generation trio. Marland and Jean make an annual trek eastward and plan on seeing the John Greeleys, Fred Briscoes, and Lloyd Woodburys on The Plain at reunion. Mar has half-a-dozen years under his belt with Will-Ross, Inc., hospital and surgical supply outfit. Bob Boswell '37 is a veep there.

REUNION ROUND-UP

For the next few issues we'd like to offer some space to become a clearing house for reports, comments, questions, and ride solicitations concerning the Tantalizing Tenth. While much of this may be old hat to 50-50 subscribers (i.e., any member of the class), it may alert undergrads and the frail of body to avoid Hanover next June 17, 18, and 19.

Top banana for this shindig is JoelLeavitt and his horn is being tooted temporarily by Cul Modisette, publicist.

Crash McIlwain, natch, chairs the class meeting and he'd better watch out for that White River bus in the Baker basement! More about timetables and tabs on the next round of jottings. Meanwhile, let us hear from you.

Happy Saint Paddy's to ye auld sodders!
