The class will be sorry to learn that two of our good friends have passed on. Les Garvin's father and Art Ruggles' mother. Mrs. Ruggles was the wife of Dr. Ruggles '01, who spoke at our Commencement.
21 of our men are already teaching or coaching. Hal Parachini "appointed head coach in all sports, athletic director, and business manager of the Chestnut Hill Acad.—out of teaching into administration—will be here most of the summer." Our files place 7 in government work. Jock Francine joined the Marine Flying Corps for 2 years. Business claims the majority—278 (36 of them—insurance). Mort Berkowitz is delighted with newspapering: "Maybe it's because it's always new, because the minute every edition hits the street it's old, and you look forward to the next, the new Will be in Hanover the second week-end in May." John Hoffstetter is production engineer in his dad's foundry and stove plant (Erie): "My job is to keep contact with the men and to see that they don't take off your shirt before the gov't does. It's about a tie at present. I travel with the salesmen, getting experience in that field." Hoffy finds it hard to follow Prof. Keir's teachings, "when once a month the CIO present themselves seeking to organize the employees, when it seems the union is running the business—and in the wrong way." John has volunteered to handle some of the class work, of which there will be some during the summer. Les Garvin is going in the credit dept. for two weeks and then into sales perma- nently—works from 8:30 A.M. to 8 P.M. with 2 hrs. off at lunch for a siesta—plans to go skiing in the Andes this June. Bill Miller in Calif., already "spring skiing at 10,500 feet—13 in. powder snow."

Don Albertson is off to Wash., D. C., to work with the T.W.A. In Wilmington, Del., "Dick Joslin in treasurer's office of DuPont's and Woodruff's the answer to the local newspaper's dream." Garry Lowe in Hartford: "Austin, Hardham, and Tompkins in for visits—great bull sessions, war a common topic—it seems that if in private life a man is expected continually to choose between right and wrong (and he is), so should he be expected to choose between right and wrong in international affairs. And then he has to live by his choice, even though it means dying."
Headline in eastern- newspaper:—"ANDEBSON beats Bellis in Finals—9-7, 4-6, 0-6, 7-5, 6-3—Middle States Indoor Meet." Norm encouraged by remarks of Beasley, Fred Perry, Paul Gibbons, and others about the possibilities in his game—says: "Have improved 100% over my '37 season, but main interest is in getting a good job and settling down—have a part in a mountaineering play. I wear a long black beard and some old clothes and sleep on the stage throughout the entire performance." .... By the way, gents, we could print some unusual '37 pictures if you'll send 'em in!. .. .Chicago had a party too —Castle, Dingle, S. P. Johnston, Brud Johnson, Kligerman, Don O'Brien, Far- well, Kimball, McKinlay; Minary '29, J. Mercer '3B, and 4 girls.

C.—Bob Burns with Kraft-Phoenix Cheese Corp. in the advertising and sales promotion work—Jim Humphrey back in Great Falls, Mont.—Fred Vogt, an accountant with Price Waterhouse & Cos. in New York.
Until then, men of '37,....the INN PORCH AT 6 P.M.
"There from the flowing bowl Deep drinks the warrior's soul, SKOAL! to the Northland! skoal! Thus the tale ended."
