I trust John and Kay Cunningham had at least a fine fall season, for in August John had a hernia repaired, only to return home to have Kay experience the shingles.

Mel and Frieda Southwick entertained children and grandchildren, 17 in all, with 12 at one time, plus a trip to Charlotte to see a grandson married. Bill and HelenRosenfield trust that in two years their grandson will carry on the Dartmouth line. Bill now rides a 1972 model wheel chair and if you visit, he won't let his nurse give you the oxygen cocktail she serves for his emphysema. He has other stock.

Murray Baldwin, before returning to his rocks of Arizona, enjoyed fishing and exploring the mountains in Montana. Walt and Edith Wiley relaxed under the sequoias in Giant Forest and Grant Grove.

Jack Taylor writes Stump Barr that health may prevent him from attending Reunion, but he would enjoy touching glasses with those of us who visit him in Rochester.

Dick Cooley can now keep up with his dancing wife Edith for he was back in trim, having five weeks of golf at Eagle Mountain in Jackson, N. H. He should be a tough curler on the ice this winter. JackHubbard has no news: he has been staying home because his wife has not been too well.

Hal Glendenning's daughter Lee is a freshman at Chatham College in Indiana. Jules and Janet Van Raalte, going where the action is, had a summer safari to Unganda, Tanzania, Kenya and Ethiopia, finally resting at a friend's home on the Island of Poros, Greece. Son John is a senior at Phillips Exeter and son Peter starts family rivalry by entering Andover.

Our sympathy goes to Bill Montgomery. From April to August he underwent surgical repairs and then his wife Eva, after declining health, died in September. Ed Booth and Stump and Ethel Barr drove over to be with Bill at Eva's funeral.

Paul Miner reported that Jud Birkenmayer died September 9. Paul represented the Class at the funeral. Captain Cornelius A. Meany died July 28. Your secretary has sent expressions of sympathy to the widows and further details will be found in the obituary section.

What a super job Jake and Marian Bingham do with the birthday cards and The Roar to keep the Class together. Here is how we can use the new Class directory they recently sent us. Write our widowers-Paul Miner, Ray Dart, Lang Robinson, Bill Montgomery, Fritz Cassebeer, Marsh Doolittle, Frank Fuller, Les Granger, Don Snyder and Tom Sturgess. Do not forget the loyal widow ladies whom you may know.

A late September card from Les Granger reports his return to New Orleans was delayed by a visit to Veterans Hospital, East Orange, N. J. We trust he was released promptly for his 1,500-mile drive back to New Orleans.

Stave and Dorothy Mahoney Syl and Moretta Morey, and Ted and Helen Hazen met in September for lunch at the Red Lion in Stockbridge, Mass. Later, George and Pat Stoddard joined the Moreys at the same place for another luncheon. George and Pat also spent a week in Connecticut where he gave away a bride Pat's widowed sister. George and EdFelt,' ever busy on plans, give the happy news that Lois Morse and Edith Glover have accepted "co-chairmanship of wives for our 55th Reunion.
