Treasurer Rod Walser included the following news in a recent letter:
"Last weekend while on a job hunting interview, I ran into Bob Nelb, who is getting a Ph.D. in chemistry about December next from Rochester University. Married life seems to agree with him as he is a good 30 pounds heavier. Also spent a very pleasant evening with Bill_ Portman. He was up for Carnival this year and is hoping to make Green Key. Heard about the Dartmouth get-together Cincinnati had over Easter week when the Glee Club was out that way. A real good old blast. Incidentally, Bill is very active in Dartmouth affairs in Cincinnati being on their committtees."
The 1948 Alumni Fund campaign is well underway by now as you know. Bob Allen is at work getting out newsletters and NickSandoe, our new Class Agent, is busy planning his strategy so that 1945 can come out on top. I think this, too, is a year in which we should strive for the highest possible number of contributors rather than the most contributions. It would be a great credit to the Class of 1945 if all of us would answer the pleas of Bob and Nick, whether the answer be accompanied by one dollar or ten dollars.
Bill McKenzie writes: "Bud Tyler was up for Carnival and I saw a lot of him at the time. In case you haven't heard from him lately, he is still with Bethlehem Steel in Bethlehem, Penna., and seems to be getting along fine.
"I spent a gay Saturday night back in February with Sam Cutler and Barney OldfieJd. We invaded Harvard Med School in force and the two of them kept us in laughs.
"Jimmy Andrews was in Akron two weeks ago and stopped in. I hadn't seen him in a while, and it was good to have a few words with him. The visit was short as he had to get back to Detroit, where he is interning. He plans to get back this way in another month, so we're planning a full night.
"As for myself, I finally finished up in February and am now living at home. Still single and like it. I recently started work for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Export Cos. in their Far Eastern Division and am very happy with the work. It will eventually mean working abroad, and this is just what I've been shooting for."
Tom Maver sent along a card full of news:"Craig Cain has been working with his father's construction company in Chicago. Tom Lanzas is with the personnel department of the Koppers Company in Pittsburgh. Bill Rockwell is working for the A. C. Nielsen Cos. in Chicago. GunnardReynolds has returned to school to finish up. JohnTobias is working for a brokerage firm in Cincinnati. Larry Davis married Azora Hatfield in Flint, Michigan, last December."

Louise is a graduate of the Walnut Hill School and Penn Hall Junior College and is now attending the Nursery Training School of Boston and Boston University. Dick is in the sporting goods and clothing business "in Beverly, Mass.

By the time you receive this issue, I will have completed one year as your secretary.I am not overly proud of what I have been able to accomplish during this year, but we have had a column appear here every month and the copy for that column has arrived in Hanover well in advance of the deadline every month. I have enjoyed the year very much. I am hoping that I will enjoy the next year even more, and you can enjoy it too if more of you would see fit to let us know where you are and what you are doing.
Before the October issue reaches you I will be living in Detroit, having recently been notified by my company that I am to begin work in the Detroit office about July 1. And so, if in the meantime you wish to drop me a line, you might address me at 2160 National Bank Building there.
Here's wishing you all a wonderful summer.
ALUMNI LUNCHEON SPEAKER: George F. Barr '45, head of the Undergraduate Council this year, will be a speaker at the commencement event, June 12.
