TWO of the Acoustical Society's highest awards were presented during the Society's 58th meeting, which took place in Cleveland on October 23. Harvey C. Hayes, retired head of the Sound Division of the Naval Research Laboratory who was involved for three decades in underwater sound research for the Navy, became the first recipient of the newly established Pioneers of Underwater Acoustics Award. The Society also presented its Wallace Clement Sabine Award in architectural acoustics to Floyd R. Watson, who retired in 1940 after serving for 38 years on the faculty of the University of Illinois.
