The Executive Committee has fixed upon the dates June 17,18 and 19 as the time for our June Round-Up. These days must be checked off on your calendar as the time when you have an imperative engagement. At the date when this is written arrangements for the meeting are not yet complete but it is expected that the Round-Up will again be held at the Follansbee Inn, North Sutton, N. H.

From Clark University comes the information that the 1949 Pasticcio, year-book of the senior class, is this year to be dedicated to Dr.Loring Holmes Dodd, Chairman of the Department of English and Fine Arts. Loring was appointed instructor in English at Clark in 1910 and was advanced to the grade of assistant professor in 1913, associate professor in 1916 and professor in 1920. He was director of dramatics from 1920 to 1929 and in 1931 was named curator of art. He has also served as director of the well-known Fine Arts Lecture Course in Worcester and at various times has served as dramatic and art critic for the Worcester Telegram, the Worcester Post and the Worcester Gazette.

From Mrs. Sanborn, wife of the late Channing Sanborn, comes news of her family. Her daughter Elizabeth, Mrs. Wayne F. Corner, now has three children. Her husband is in the employ of the Chance-Vought Airplane Company and the family has recently removed from Connecticut to Texas. The second daughter, Miriam, was married a year ago last July to Mr. Thomas L. Kane of Dover, O. He has charge of a strip coal mine in that city. Mrs. Sanborn still retains her home in Tilton.

George Tong is now well settled in Santa Barbara, Calif., having bought there a Cape Cod style cottage on the same street as the home of his daughter.

Cut Tirrell is spending his retirement in cultivating a garden, canning the product, collecting postage stamps for his son's collection, and many other things. He feels himself duty bound to picture the secretary as out daily on skis, but confesses frankly that he cannot extend his imagination that far, which is just as well. His son Don, a prominent McGill skier in undergraduate days, is now president of the Red Birds Ski Club of Montreal, one of the outstanding ski organizations of Canada.

Two newspaper clippings which have recently come to light are of interest. The Newton Villager discusses the launderette in that city owned by Edward Marshall '34, son of our Harry Marshall. The encouraging statement is made that more men than women take advantage of these facilities, where, as experienced experts, they offer gratuitous advice on laundry problems to such women as dare to patronize the institution. The Boston Herald shows a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Nat BarrowsJr. '29, of Atkinson, N. H., about to board the Cunarder Media for a 30-day vacation in London and Glasgow. They were married in London shortly after discharge of Capt. Barrows who served with the Office of Strategic Service. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nat Barrows Sr. of Waterville, Me., were present to see them off.

Bill Howard writes from Seattle, Wash., that recently he was compelled to part with his tonsils. He had had these tonsils for a long time and says that separating from them was no joy, in more ways than one.

Other surgical victims recently were Alice Rankin who had a displaced cartilage removed from her knee and the wife of the Secretary who underwent a very drastic operation in November. Frank Howe writes from Fitchburg that he is busy in retirement, both at his winter home and at Weston, Vt., where he spends the time from May to November. Weston he recommends highly as the home of a summer theater, an old-fashioned country store, a museum of antiques, a hand-weaving industry and a grist mill which grinds by the old stone process. The product of the last of these activities Frank says with commendable caution, "is considered" by some people to prolong their lives for years. Arthur Wallace is cited as being one of the customers.

The illustration submitted herewith was taken on the occasion of the wedding of Dorothy Woodman in September, noted in a previous issue. The elderly gentleman of distinguished aspect is the father, Dr. James B.Woodman of Franklin, N. H., commonly known as Jim. This picture, aside from its general attractiveness, is published for two special reasons, (i) To show the entirely comely physical aspect of a representative member of the class, a quality characteristic of the class as a whole. (2) Also to show how much more comely is the younger generation, when compared to the older.

BEFORE THE WEDDING: Father, James B. Woodman '00, and daughter, Dorothy, chatting before she became Mrs. Howard S. Hatch.
