As seems to be the case with most ministers, George Magoon appears to be too busy to drop a note about family happenings, so we are indebted to his good wife Joanne for the current information. Last heard from in Richmond, George has now accepted a call to become rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Louisburg, N.C., to which the family moved last October 1. For George and Joanne's 25th wedding anniver- sary on December 30, their six (count 'em, six) children gave their parents a two-week trip to London and Paris, which was the first time Mom and Pop had managed to travel abroad together during those happy 25 years. All best wishes for the next happy 25, George and Joanne.

Surely by now all of you are making your plans for attendance at the GTHES (Greatest Thirtieth Hanover's Ever Seen) from Monday, June 9 through Wednesday June 11. This time we will be in Hanover with the Classes of 1944 and 1945, which will be our first chance in many years to reune with friends and families from those classes. In addition to all of the expected activities, dinners, outings, dances, etc., there will be a special computer course available to all panel discussions on topics of outstanding interest, special events at Tuck, Thayer and Med School, and a host of programs for children of all ages, including swimming, golf, tennis, magic shows, a rock dance, etc. etc.

With that great newsletter that Reg Pierce sent out in late January, a card was enlosed for those of you who have not yet indicated your plans; naturally, all are welcome right up to the last minute, but your advance word will help the planning and budgeting immeasurably. It already appears that we are likely to break all records for 30th reunions with nearly 100 classmates, 90 wives, over 100 children already in the fold, and about as many more having indicated that they hope to make it.

As some of you may know, a great many alumni have commenced working on a college sponsored project to increase, improve and coordinate alumni activities in all regions, primarily through the facilities of the local clubs. Your secretary had the pleasure of attending a meeting late in January in New York, run by Dave Orr '57 and Al Cook '62, attended by various alumni councilors, club presidents and secretaries, job placement chairmen, district enrollment directors and liaison officers. Any of you who are invited to participate in this program should jump at the chance, for it appears to be a primary vehicle for enjoyable service to the College.

The latest edition of the Big Green Sports News duly reported that Gene Bokor's son Bruce was selected to the All-Ivy Soccer First Team. Bruce was the runner-up in Ivy scoring for the 1974 season, and now holds the Dartmouth record as all-time leader in assists.

C. Welles Fendrich Jr. has been named vice president, corporate development, at New Jersey's Research-Cot-trell, Inc., purveyors of engineering, construction, and consulting engineering service to the environmental control industry. Previously he was with-In-ternational Telephone and Telegraph, super- vising planning and development for 12 divisions spread throughout North America, Europe, and Mexico. Son C. Welles Jr. is a senior at Dartmouth.

From a copy of the Wilshire Press; out of Los Angeles, we have received the very belated word that Dr. Robert W. Winter has been reappointed to the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Board by the city's Board of Municipal Art Commissioners. Bob, who is professor of the History of Ideas at Occidental College, has served on the Cultural Heritage Board since 1972. After graduation from Dartmouth he received his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins and held teaching assignments at Dartmouth, Bowdoin, and UCLA before joining the Occidental faculty in 1963.

Your secretary is usually pretty weary upon entering the elevator at the 29th floor at 140 Broadway around 5 p.m. each day, but occasionally we have the pleasure of having Art Young step aboard at the 28th floor. On one such occasion last week, Art expressed the hope that he will be joining all of us in Hanover on June 9; he punches in daily at the fine firm of Paine Webber Jackson & Curtis.

By now most of you will be hearing from JimLynch, our worthy successor to Jim O'Neil as class agent, who already has been producing results ahead of prior years. Some of you who have not had the opportunity to work on class matters in recent years will be invited to pitch in and give Jim a hand, and we can think of no more pleasant and useful way to renew acquaintances with classmates.

As this is written, the groundhog just saw his shadow, but by the time you read it, there will be robins on the lawn, and the GTHES will be just around the corner.

Keep those cards 'n' letters rollin in.
