Hal Smith of Waterbury, Conn., and Jus Stanley of Winnetka, Ill., have sons in the class of 1971 who have been playing varsity squash. The Big Green comments: "Jim Smith was the surprise of the season, compiling a 9-3 record at the No. 3 position while Captain-elect Justin Stanley finished at 5-7."

It was nice to hear again from Harry Hardy of Reading, Mass. He is merchandizing manager of fashion accessories in Jordan Marsh's "largest and best store on the North Shore in Peabody. It is a pleasure to go to work each morning, and I love it. I have twenty young people who work for me and they keep me young, especially the female ones in the mini skirts!" Harry and Eleanor have two sons both of whom are married. Wheeler, Rutgers '63, lives in New Jersey where he is a social worker, and in addition goes to Seton Hall four nights each week for his law degree. He and his wife have two boys, Roger, 5, and Richard, 6 months. Howard, William and Mary '64, is an associate actuary with Travelers Insurance in Hartford. He and his wife have a daughter, Jennifer aged 2, and a new baby due in June. Harry attended the Boston Alumni Dinner and enjoyed seeing those present.

Jack Trost wrote recently: "I make my living as vice president, Industrial Relations of the Briggs and Stratton Corp. of Milwaukee, the world's largest manufacturer of air-cooled four-cycle gasoline engines and automobile locks. I have been a widower since 1947, and have only one offspring, a son, who is a wonderful guy, who teaches school in nearby Cedarburg."

Harvey "Hop" Hopkins of Montclair, N. J., is the first one to indicate that he and Louise will be in Hanover, October 10 for the Princeton game. He and Jack Blumenthal married sisters (Skidmore) and take in the Dartmouth-Princeton game each year. Hop's older son, Dirk, is a Navy navigator on his third trip to Vietnam. His younger son, Bruce, will be graduated this June from Ohio Wesleyan.

Bob Norton has moved from Watertown, Conn., to Chagrin Falls, Ohio. He writes: "We sold our Chromium Corporation of America, Waterbury plant, and are concentrating here and also at Chicago on the chromium plating of diesel engine cylinder liners of railroad locomotives. I'm president of the company. We have eight grandchildren by two daughters. In May we are going to England to visit Debbie and her two daughters. She lives permanently in Cambridge with her architect husband."

In the News: U.S. Representative JohnMouagan has announced that he will not seek re-nomination to the House, but he will challenge Senator Thomas J. Dodd and seek the Democratic nomination for Mr. Dodd's seat in Washington.

Early in February Roger Sylvester com- pleted 35 years at the Springfield (Mass.) newspapers and retired from his position as managing editor of "The Union" and "The Sunday Republican." He and Adeline will retire to South Yarmouth where they are building a home.

Harold W. Smith, president of the First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Waterbury, Conn., has been nominated for election to the board of directors of the Southern New England Telephone Company.

George Rideout was the featured speaker at the annual midwinter meeting of the Vermont Bankers Association held in Montpelier. He is president of Babson Reports in Wellesley.

John Donovan, principal of Concord-Carlisle High School, has been elected president of the Massachusetts Secondary School Principals' Association.

Dr. Paul Zamecnik, director of the J. Collins Warren Laboratories of Huntington Memorial Hospital at Massachusetts General Hospital, has won the $7,500 Passano Award for 1970, one of the highest awards in American medicine. The research on which his award is based centers on the chemical processes in both normal and tumor or cancer cells, particularly the incorporation of amino acids into proteins the building of proteins by body cells. Congratulations, Paul!!

From Dover, Mass., comes this from Arch Lade: "I don't write too often about doings in the class, but I think our attendance last night at the Alumni Fund Kick-off Dinner at the Parker House in Boston does deserve some mention in your column. Having won the Alumni Cup for the largest number present at the annual dinner in February, 1933 proceeded to show the same spirit at the Kick-off Dinner. The contingent was eight strong, filling a whole round table. The group was spearheaded by our ebullient leader, Wes Beattie — and the following enthusiastic disciples: Harvey Bloomberg, Don D'Arcy, Norm Erlandson, Cliff Johnson, Whit Kimball, Ed Knapp, and Arch Lade. Ed Knapp made the long drive from Canton, Conn. Through the years, however, Ed has pursued a rigorous physical fitness program; so, the task was not so arduous for him as it might have been for some of the rest of us! Ed has given up golf so that he can pursue his tennis more intensely - watch for him in the National Seniors this year!"

The Third Century Fund is drawing to a successful conclusion and the Annual Fund is underway. Each of us should support these in accordance with his individual ability.

My thanks to all of you who sent in news!
