Don and Marie Giles had a large group in for cocktails before the Essex and Morris Dartmouth Club dinner dance at the Short Hills Country Club. John Phillips says he brought along the Josh Davises '27, so he would have an old grad along as most of the Giles' neighbors seem to be of the younger generation.

While in Wellington, New Zealand, Lane and Betty called on Bill Lord's daughter, Caroline, and her husband Martin Gross. Caroline came to know Lane as a member of the New Hampshire legislature from Gilford. Caroline and her husband, who were married last fall, have been in New Zealand for the past year while he studied the welfare state under a Knox fellowship. He will enter Harvard Law School in the fall and Caroline will go back as a junior at Radcliffe.

By calling Bill Morton we learned that Craig and Eleanor Haines, George and SisEmery, Chuck and Nona Bruder and son Charles, and Bill and Bobby were in Hanover May 5-7 for the Class Officers meetings. Bill reports that Craig looks fine, and has taken on new responsibilities at the bank. In fact Saturday night the new Haines outlasted Eleanor and Sis at a late soiree at Jim Campion's house attended also by the Bill Kimballs.

The same weekend Bill Morton and BillLary of Sunapee attended a testimonial banquet for Tom Dent on the eve of his retirement from the faculty. His friends donated money for a new DOC cabin to bear his name.

President George Pasfield missed the Hanover weekend because he was finishing up four sample houses for a large promotion which started May 6. George has formed a new firm, Cochrane and Pasfield, Inc., to build homes on a large tract which George bought in Philadelphia.

Your secretary missed the same meetings because Mary and he were in London. Because we were away a month, we did not have time to get enough news so we will fill out our space with a few details. Our two weeks in Ireland were wonderful - with our son Scott driving our rented car we saw the entire country, including Northern Ireland.he country was beautiful and everyone was friendly. We saw all the interesting old castles, our first hurling match and our first rugby match (an international match between Ireland and France). In the little town of Thurles we attended the opening of a one-week Gaelic Drama Festival. President DeValera delivered a speech in Gaelic and during the intermission we talked to him and were surprised to find he knew where Troy is because he has traveled in our section of Pennsylvania. We don't understand Gaelic but enjoyed the play because it was "The Bishop's Candlesticks." In Scotland we rented another car, visited friends in Inverness, and then toured the Western Highlands, including the Isle of Skye.

After three days seeing Northern Wales, we spent three days as guests of Scott's housemaster at Clifton College, Bristol, England. From the housemaster we learned, for the first time, that Scott had been made head of his house, the first foreigner ever to receive that honor. In addition he was on his school's varsity rugby team and had broken the school's discus record by 20 feet. Scott will enter Dartmouth this fall. We spent our last two days in London, including a brief visit with Bob Breyfogle '26, and flew home - in separate planes, as usual with us.
