Have you sent in your letter to the class secretary for the forthcoming pre-reunion class report? And did you enclose with it the questionnaire for the class files, properly filled out? If you cannot say yes to both of these questions, sit right down at your desk this minute and rectify your shortcomings.
In the first two weeks since the Secretary sent out his letters over fifty replies have been received. A good beginning, but it must continue if the report is to be what we all hope it will—a record-breaker. Lots of interesting information has been received, but I am not going to spoil the delights of that report by divulging all the news here in the MAGAZINE ahead of time. The items that follow are just samples.
