We've been so much on the run this past month that we haven't lit long enough to put out our usual frantic feelers for '33 news, and we've been away from Hanover so much of the time that we can't even post you very well on developments here. In short, our sabbatical leave this first semester may serve other purposes, but its yield of dope for the colyum is little more than a trickle.
We did get a report from Lee Eckels on his Class Dues campaign for the year ending August 31, 1950, which made better reading than some of the reports for previous years. Lee reported a surplus of $344. 15 remaining in the treasury after expenses for the ALUMNI MAGAZINE and other miscellaneous outlays totalling $1263.45. The surplus will go towards a nest egg in anticipation of our Class Gift on our Twenty Fifth.

It has been at least a couple of years since I have been able to get away and take in a game. I've had tr content myself with seeing a few Pitt games and professional games here in Pittsburgh."
