When Art Leiois and his wife were on their vacation in Jamaica in April where Mrs. Lewis was recovering from a serious illness, they were at luncheon at the Shaw Park Hotel in Ocha Rios when someone gave Arthur a good sound crack on the back. He looked up into the shining countenance of Fred Veitor. Arthur reports that he would be glad to trade waist lines with Viet, who he says, possesses the physique of a seventeen-year-old athlete. Art is all rested after his vacation and is all ready to get back on the job sparking the Alumni Fund in the class. With the Fortieth reunion coming up, it would seem that this is a splendid year for each man in the class to make some kind of a contribution to the Fund. Thanks to Art's efforts the class has stood among those at the very top for the past three or four years. This position can be made even more creditable if each man in the class will resolve to make a contribution no matter how small.
