From sources believed to be entirely authentic, it is reported that Bob Hopkins retired January 1, 1956, after a very successful service with "The New Yorker." Much credit is due Bob for the success that publication has attained. Rumor has it that Bob is renewing his acquaintance with the piano and is happily leading the life of the country squire. Maybe he will give us some real news on this so we can give you facts instead of rumor.

Ted says he won't be back for football games this fall, but he and Marion will be on hand for the 45th.
