"There's a chance to fish in the troubled journalistic waters of Springfield," writes John (Amos) Clark, "and I'm bound to take my bent pin and run." Therefore John Clark, earlier tagged as Hanover Coordinator of Reunion activities, was compelled to surrender the post, and to become Publicity Chairman of Reunion. Classmates will be apprised of the latest developments in Reunion plans through John's excellent Newsletter, of which Number One has already hit the mailboxes. Change the second is that John Zimmerman, having undertaken an Alumni Fund assignment for this spring, was compelled to surrender his post of financial chairman of Reunion. Charlie Doerr remains as Round-up Chairman, and DickOlmsted as Entertainment Chairman. Your secretary will settle the costume business. Watch Clark's Newsletter for further information.
