It's the weekend of the Brown game, and Hanover will be a place you would not want to be away from . . . foliage, festivities, visits, a guaranteed delight. Get your own tickets and rooms. Communique on the meeting points of the weekend will forthcome from the responsible agent of the class.

We are in a place in life where a longer trip for such a Major Event is in order.

Doug Mott, "I spent 7 years with the C.I.A., in Cuba and Peru. After leaving the government in 1958, I tramped the Southland for the Van Nostrand publishers ... a rather interesting time, especially that in Florida and Puerto Rico. In 1959 I came with Owens Illinois Glass. After two years in export sales, I am in domestic sales, Chicago. We live in Naperville. I'll be in Hanover next June 17-20."

John Cooley, "I have had the good fortune to be awarded the Council on Foreign Relations Resident Fellowship for 1964-5. This enables me to work from an office at the Council's N.Y.C. headquarters from Sept. till June, studying and writing. All they ask is that I participate in some seminars and research projects. The previous holders of these Fellowships (one each year) have gone on to good things, and I am very pleased indeed. Right now I am here in Casablanca completing a book, my second, for Holt, Rinehart, on the Chinese Communist offensive in Africa. Edith and our yearold daughter are in Vienna, will join me in the U.S. I'll make the Class Reunion in June."
