EDWIN BOOTH has a new address in Minneapolis—24.27 East Lake St., and CHARLES STUTZ has left New York and is now in St. Paul, Minn, with the PioneerPress-Dispatch. BILL PUGH sends the following news from the Pennsylvania district and points west. FRANK OSGOOD is instructor at the William Penn Charter School, a well-known and excellent country day school in Germantown, Pa. BILL CHISM is still with the Bell Telephone Company, still married, and still living in Philadelphia. JACK ROBINSON, who used to be with the W. T. Grant Company, is now in charge of traffic in the shipping department of the Pennsylvania Salt Company. He and his wife live in Facoma, Wash. Bill sends the following good letter from SID MILNOR: 'Williamsport, Pa.—The year after Dartmouth I spent in the Harvard Graduate School of Education, getting a master's degree. You remember that was the year of Oberlander, Tully, Sage and the rest, and when I wasn't in Cambridge I was with the team. I took a high flier and went to Chicago to see that game, only to return to find myself kicked out of one class because my interest seemed to run to football. The irony of the thing was that the class was under the direction of Dan Kelly, a football official and connected with the school at that time. Dan Kelly it was, who called interference in the Princeton game a year ago. A most unpopular decision with all Dartmouth men. Well, I made up this class later and got the degree. The next two years found me in Williamsport, a teacher in the Roosevelt Junior High School. In June of 1928 I married Jean Campbell, Goucher '25, and gathering together all available cash we set out for Honolulu via New Orleans, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. We spent a month on the islands and returned by way of the Canadian Rockies. We arrived home broke to a two-room apartment and just in time for me to meet my first class in the Williamsport Senior High School, where I was starting as teacher and assistant coach of football and basketball. The sorry condition of the pocketbook turned out to be a blessing, for when the crash came a year later I had no savings account anywhere and was overdrawn at the bank! I stayed in the high school six years, and feeling the urge to change I threw my hat in the ring for a principalship of an elementary school. So I'm here at Benjamin Franklin, and of the three positions I've held I like this one best from all angles. I'm not getting rich, of course, but I am getting a practical knowledge of the whole public school field which might help me later on. I keep in touch with football and basketball now by officiating football in the fall and basketball in the winter. John Campbell Milnor age 5 and Ann Champion Milnor age 4 keep me busy at home and along with my job time does not drag."
BILL PUGH himself has now been in his new suburban office in Merion, Pa., for just a year. He took over an old building and remodeled it into a white-clapboard black-shuttered colonial home with brigls red flower boxes. Bill modestly thank. the remodeling for a successful year. However, the remodeling wouldn't even have been thought of without Bill's initiative and outstanding ability in the real estate field

LYLE MCKOWN sends us the following interesting letter from GEORGE WiNGER "As you probably know, KEITH KOEHLEE is now living in Upland, Calif., engaged not too busily in growing lemons. His family has owned some groves for a long while, and Keith has been in California since about 1931. He and his wife now own some additional groves, and Keith spends a greater part of his time in California, returning to Kansas City occasionally to look after some of his mother's affairs. I do not know whether you know it, but Keith and I married girls who are! sisters. The result of course is that I see a great deal of Keith when he is here, and my wife has occasionally gone to California to visit them, although I have not ever been able to make it. Keith and his wife have two little sons; the oldest one Richard Keith Koehler Jr., is about 5, and the next son, Anthony Curry Koehler, is about two years old. FREDDY DOLD is living in Wichita and is connected with the Fred L. Dold Packing Company, which is a family concern headed by his father I have not seen Fred since last July,but he is still making golf tournaments abour the country, and I hope doing pretty well. The last time I saw him he was about to depart for Colorado Springs play in the Fourth of July Tournament My own activities are not very remark able. I am still practicing law, as you may have noted from this letter-head, and am still the father of four children, twin boys, George and Joe, age 9, another boy Robert, age 8 and a daughter Mary, age 6. During last August my wife an I spent a little while with NEIL WILLIAMS at Mackinac Island. Since that time Neil has been in Kansas City a couple of times, and we are expecting him down again before very long."

The annual Alumni Fund is on. 1925 has become one of the leaders in this great campaign—not only among the younger classes, but in the entire college. It isn't necessary for the Secretary to make any appeal to the Quarters who subscribe to the MAGAZINE. MAGAZINE subscribers are always contributors. But whether we make a respectable showing this year (in amount contributed) probably will fall upon the shoulders of the two or three dozen men who annually come through with fairly substantial contributions. More two dollar men should be five dollar men, many more five dollar men should be ten dollar men.
Regards until next month—a year has almost passed.
