Pittsburgh

THE ANNUAL PICNIC held last June and attended by some 40 of the local alumni was a good party but disappointing in that the single men, despite the rain drenched cheers of our wives, defeated the married boys. With such big guns at the bat silent as Bob Chittum '30 and Ed Norton '28, we could do little with Merrill Heald's '34 curves. Thus, the ninth inning ran out 5 to 4 in favor of the bachelors.

New arrivals in this area include Jim Chandler '38 with the John Hancock Life Insurance Co..... Nate Pearson '32, working for U. S. Steel Corp. is now located in Pittsburgh.... Chuck Brown '35 for many months a travelling correspondent for the U. S. Steel News is actively engaged in lecturing on his experiences in the Far East.

Among our representatives in the new freshman class are Allen Hirshberg, brother of Varsity Football coach Eddie Hirshberg, and Ted Driver, son of a Dartmouth Graduate.

On Sept. 9, 20 of the group met at Shadyside Academy for the yearly Golf Tournament. The best score we saw belonged to our President, Shirly Austin '24. John Gearhart '26, the dark horse, fresh from a Canadian "big fish" trip confused a golf swing with casting ability recently acquired, and disappointed his admirers.

Tentative plans are underway for an evening at the Pittsburgh Playhouse which is operating under the capable and successful direction of Fred Burleigh '28. Proceeds of a benefit performance will be our annual contribution to the Scholarship Fund. Date to be announced later.
