With three feet of January snow and temperatures way below zero, Hanoverians wonder if there really will be a month of June. But spring always has busted through, and it surely will in 1982 for 1922's 60th reunion, June 11, 12, and 13. So far, 58 members of the class family, 31 men and 27 women, have signified their intention of returning to Hanover. Ray Atwood has already listed their names in a "Twoter" newsletter sent to you. If you intend to be there and have not yet sent in your notification, please do not delay writing or telephoning (603/643-4262) to the class secretary. We all want you with us. In early April, all who have affirmatively indicated, "I plan to attend the 60th reunion," will receive information from the College regarding rooms. And those who have previously indicated, "At this time I am not able to make a firm commitment," we now hope will join the happy gathering. But if you would like to sleep in a bed, now is the time to say, "I'll be there."

It's old hat for Twoters to see their mugs in the mass media, but when Haskell Cohn appeared in "The Balance Sheet," a brochure published by Wellesley College, that was really something new. Till your scribe becomes better informed - an ongoing, quotidian process - for a Twoter to have his head and shoulders in a publication from a prestigious women's college must be a first-time event. And not only the picture, but the words:

"Haskell Cohn, one of two founding partners of his Boston law firm, is a distinguished member of the bar. A past president of the Boston Bar Association and a past member of the House of Delegates of the American Bar Association - serving on numerous committees of both associations and of the American Law Institute - he has exerted influence over many aspects of the legal profession, especially continuing professional education and specialization. A loyal alumnus of Dartmouth (magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, recipient of Dartmouth Alumni Award), he is also class agent for the Harvard Law School class of 1925 and a valued friend of Wellesley."

"A valued friend of Wellesley" Haskell had better be, because his good wife of 54 years is the former Harriet Segal, Wellesley '28. Her picture also appears on the same page as Haskell's, but being more accustomed to appearances in Wellesley publications, she has a far prettier smile.

The text on Harriet: "A member of the Wellesley board of trustees since 1968, Harriet Segal Cohn has given countless hours of service to the college. As trustee she has assumed a heavy workload, serving as chairman of the investment subcommittee on social responsibility and as a member of the buildings and grounds committee and the student life committee. Among her other activities, she is an associate of the Ladies Committee of the Museum of Fine Arts." Haskell and Harriet will' be back at our 60th. Belated thanks to Bill Bullen for sending in the news from Wellesley.

Spenny Smith was asked, "Why should any classmate or other member of the '22 family significantly increase contributions to the 1982 Alumni Fund?" The answer: Simply because our 1922 objective in this 60th reunion year is $80,000 - approximately double the class contribution last year - and the goal will be achieved only if everyone accepts this challenge. The 60th will be 1922's last formal reunion, and, while we still can, we sincerely want to show our appreciation to the Old Mother, Dartmouth.
