Don't you fellas ever do nothin'? I know very well you do but you just mislaid my address. Because of an exceptionally busy couple of months at the office, there wasn't the opportunity to go after any news and consequently this month's offering will be exceptionally meager. In fact, the only letters received were from Al Frey and Rock Elliott.

These letters were in reference to a project which, in order to be at all successful, must be started very shortly, namely, a gift to the College at our 35th reunion. This has been a custom for years and of late they have been cash contributions. Your executive group will shortly appoint a committee to handle the project and any suggestions you may have as to personnel or ways and means will be greatly appreciated.

What are we doing from 9 to 5 each day? A perusal of the Class records shows that there are four vocations which have about the same representation, namely, Lawyers (28), Insurance (27), Investments (27) and Education (27). The next in line are the medicos (19) followed by advertising (17), department stores (11), real estate (11), banking (10), paper manufacturing (10) and public utilities (9). This represents about half of the class and does not reflect any changes in vocations due to National Defense. I am sure the whole class would be interested in a list of all the boys who are engaged in military or naval service or who are working on any type of war activity. A report, via post card, will help in compiling such a list.

Henry Hayes reports that he is with Bausch and Lomb in Rochester, (N. Y.) and has two daughters in college; Jean at Mt. Holyoke and Barbara at Keuka College.

Called Frank Johnson when I was passing through Buffalo a short time ago. He wasn't at home but Peg stated that there was nothing to report, except that they had a marvelous time at reunion.

Spent an evening with the Bowen's at their new home in Loudonville, suburb of Albany. Ed demonstrated an art at which I was fairly proficient at one time, namely the eleven o'clock change. He uses the square type but I still think the three cornered job is really the ticket. When these bachelors finally get married, they surely go domestic with a vengeance.

A war class certainly has a lot to put up with and one of the main gripes is crediting other classes with our supermen. I noticed in reading the article about Harry Hillman in last month's MAGAZINE, that two of his star performers were Zack Jordan '20 and Earl Thomson '22. I'll grant that Zack alone was enough credit for the average class but if we are that much better why not apply the proper labels. No sir, they can't steal one of the world's best hurdlers from our fold.

"The other day I saw (heard) (read) that a classmate "A substantial reward will be given to all who finish the above by writing not more than 200 words about any '20'ite.
