THE YALE GAME broadcast, October 29, was the rallying point for Dartmouth in this very small part of the world. The "Indian affair"—not Rube Goldberg's kind (MAGAZINE, November, page 53)— was put on at Reading's Wyomissing Club. Attending their first conclave in these parts we welcomed Randy Klinefelter '34 from Lebanon and J. Frank Menges, '26's contribution to the Reading medical world. The worthy doctor is generally too busy delivering babies to get away even for so important a thing as a Dartmouth gathering. Jack Loose '33 the übiquitous Travelers Insurance man (our secretary in October ran into Jack even as far away as Harrisburg) brought his chief Harry Litke, Lehigh '24 (Advt.).

The Old Guard was on deck in good numbers headed by Pres. Andy Marshall '22 and Vice Pres. Jim Rick '31 they comprised King Badger '29, the Muhlenberg maestro; Lee Bausher '21, hosiery tycoon; Walt Bowlby 27; Bill Bucher '32 over from Bethlehem; Johnny Dessau '18 up from Pottstown. Also Shorty Gray '19 ace of the Selective Process committee; Hugo Gumbart '16 Bethlehem Steel engineer; Van Klopp '09, Fred Koller '36 of Wyomissing, Jack Loose '33, insurance, as previously noted; Milt Shultz '30 hosiery; Frank Tragle '30 the literary genius; Art Zulick '18, Orwigsburg's gift to the shoe-manufacturing industry and your correspondent.

Come this Yuletide we're holding a very special session, appropriately enough, in Bethlehem. We anticipate entertaining both the neophytes from this section expecting to enter Dartmouth next fall and our undergraduates home for the holidays. The agenda also calls for election of officers and executive committee for 1939. ....Bill Williams '28 has arrived in our midst singing the praises of Morton's Salt and has taken up residence in Reading, Bud Erdman '37 has moved to the suburb of Reading known as Wyomissing having recently taken to himself a wife, Ed Heath '38 of Allentown not content with just an A.B. course is studying at Babson Institute, Wellesley Hills, Mass., Jack Morri- son '35 our Phillipsburg, N. J. flash, has finished his medical work in Philadelphia and is serving his interneship at the Rhode Island Hospital in Providence, Tom Noonan '33 of Mahanoy Gity is studying law in Philly, Dude Krum '38 is at Hanover to finish his course and has removed his home from Reading to Schuylkill Haven, our Sec.-Treas. and Perpetual-Composer-of-Letters, back in July, moved to Emmaus, five miles out of Allentown. This territory just can't get along without its Biblical names as Bethlehem, Nazareth, Emmaus and what-have-you.
