Hal Foreman is now doing special executive work with the Insull public utility group, and his new address is 72 West Adams St., Chicago. This is probably the largest and most powerful public utility organization in the country. Hal's previous work should make him eminently qualified for success in his new undertaking.

Randolph Simpson is metallurgist with the Electric Steel Foundry Company, Portland, Oregon. He has dropped his former first name because there were two other parties of the same former name in Portland. He is a member of the American Chemical Society and a good golf player. At least by comparison with most of the other golf members of the class.

Bunk Irwin is undoubtedly our leading golfer, shooting consistently well below 80 when in form, but we have half a dozen members at least who shoot in the 80's and several times as many who score in the 90's. We will be glad to add to the class records the club handicaps of all golfing members for the past season for future reference, and want them in any event, by next fall.

We lay a small bet on Murchie as our champion contract bridge player (it cost us quite enough to learn how good he was), and on Russ Pettengill as a ping-pong expert, (this knowledge was not expensive—we wouldn't bet). Our guess is that Joe Worthen is our most ardent fisherman and Roscoe Pearl our most persistent mountain climber. With the loss of Walter Rogers, we suppose Dan Watson is next in line as a musician. Sam Bell has a good claim to top ranking in badminton. This week (only), Bob Burns wears the crown at squash, and modestly prevents me from naming the wearer of said crown the week following. If there are any other claims for championship honors lying around loose, send them in and your committee will give them due consideration, except claims for the wine making championship, which will not be considered until 1933. Several of these claims have been entered and considered, but the hearing will be held open.

Jim Hitchcock has written some very interesting articles on medical matters that have been published in the Forum.
