The Fifty Year Book Committee reports that the final mailing of section four should be in the Hanover Postoffice by May 20: and, going forward by first class mail should reach most of the Class before the end of that month. There will be extra copies of the complete Book, without cover, if your Secretary receives requests for same.

Another class-mate has joined the ranks of the missing. He follows Francis Nave, who was reputedly living in Upper Darby, Pa., but mail has failed to reach him there. Ed Luedke who was his room-mate in college and prep school has had no word in years, and even his family does not know his whereabouts. The new Rip Van Winkle is Ralph Haynes. Mail addressed to him has started to come back from New York City marked "deceased." Further check-ups at the office of Alumni Records disclose that his wife Lillian had also passed away, if anyone in the Metropolitan Area wishes to do some sleuthing perhaps we may be able to verify the pencilled rumor on the envelopes that have been returned.

An invitation has been received from Walter S. Yusen, Secretary of the Class of 1958. which he asks be broadcast in Class Notes and Newsletters. He is sponsoring and managing a Golf and Tennis Weekend in Hanover on July 2 to 5. A package deal has been arranged for singles or couples which includes lodging and dinners at the Hanover Inn, greens and court fees, evening programs and swimming privileges. Walter ran off a similar program last March for a very successful Alumni Ski Weekend. Full details can be obtained by writing Golf and Tennis Weekend, 203 Crosby Hall in Hanover, or paying a visit to the same address.

Clarence "Sandy" Sanders, who had previously made plans to be with us at the Fifieth has had to change his mind. It was necessary for him to come up to the Upper Valley from Houston in the late winter on a family matter, and does not feel that he can make another extended trip this year. By next year he hopes to be semi-retired, so perhaps we will see him then. In a reminiscent mood Sandy recalls that in September of 1917 he and Ort Hicks rode the train together from the Twin Cities to Hanover, and that they worked two Christmas vacations in White River, throwing mail sacks for the Railway Mail Service. One Christmas day they worked from 6 A.M. until midnight, a total of 18 hours, and then went back to a cold attic room and slept for twelve hours. It must have been the Phi Gam House.

Jack Hubbell continues his successes in the business world. He has now received his industry's highest award, the annual distinguished award of the National Association of Bedding Manufacturers. Jack is currently president of the Some Furnishing Council, and is vice-president and director of the Simmons Company of New York. In connection with the award Jack received written congratulations from New York State's Gov. Nelson Rockefeller D'30. The governor also took the occasion to recount Jack's activities in behalf of Dartmouth—as Chairman of the Alumni Fund, member and Vice President of the Alumni Council —also the fact that in 1954 he was chairman of the committee which brought Coach Bob Blackman to Hanover.

During a three-week sojourn in Florida your secretary had contacts with several classmates, and so is able to give you some first-hand news about them.

At Holmes Beach, at the south end of Anna Maria Island, we had a most pleasant visit with Wally Henshaw and Mabel, 'hey have now returned to their farm in Pittsfield, N. H., close to Hanover. They are like other classmates who have been splitting their year between New England and the deep South.

Due to unexpected car trouble in Tampa, which caused a one day delay in their trip "km rom Sanibel Island, Florida's famous shell beach, Sumner "Gus" Perkins and Betty dropped in for a midday visit, and drought us up-to-date on their comings and pings of the past year. They had had to forego attendance at the classes' fall homecoming, but are looking forward to the big doings this June.

Doug Storer has now taken up permanent residence in Belleair Estates, a most delightful suburb of Clearwater, Fla. From his home he keeps busy writing illustrated articles in his column, published weekly in several Florida Gulf Coast newspapers—"Amazing but True." His home is a museum piece, crammed with curios, framed documents and photographs, gathered from all over the world during his travels while associated with Ripley of Believe it or Not" fame. While visiting with the Storers, Joe Schultz and wife Virginia, who live right around the corner from the Storers dropped in. Joe, also, is a fugitive from the North. Unfortunately neither the Storers or the Schultzes plan to be with us for Reunion.
