Bucky Lewers writes from New York that the Alumni Dinner on April 16 was a pronounced success despite the fact that two speakers from Washington were unable to arrive due to poor flying conditions. President Dickey added to his laurels as a speaker in no uncertain manner; and by the importation of Boston's chorister, Harry McDevitt, and MartHull as accompanist, a fine old fashioned songfest resulted. Ray Brown and Bucky represented the class. Boston's 'O3 takes the bow, Bucky, and wishes you better luck next time.
