Certainly this can be said to be the voice of the class expressing hearty congratulations to Frank Horan upon his election as a vice president of Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company. His classmates rejoice that his abilities and value to his company have been recognized by elevation to this new office. Due to modesty on Frank's part, word of this important event did not reach your secretary before his notes for the February issue had gone in which accounts for absence from the column of mention of it, although a picture .with caption did make that issue, thanks to the Editor.

An editorial in The New York Times of last December 23 paid a fine tribute to John C.Wood for his seven years of service as chairman of the board of the Better Business Bureau of New York City.

Herm joined Carlisle Hardware Company immediately following college and became its president in 1938, the office which he presently fills.

In the December 5 issue of Paper if PaperProducts, Interstate Bag Co. was given prominence in an article about shopping bags.

No one has served the class more faithfully than Stan Miner. He filled the office of treasurer for thirteen years and the office of class agent for six years. It is safe to say that no other member of our class knows more of his classmates or is known by more of his classmates. No one has shown more interest in class affairs than has Stan. It is typical of his feeling for the class that he has accepted appointment as chairman of the nominating committee, the purpose of which is to prepare a slate for presentation at the business meeting in June. Your secretary is grateful to him for his willingness to serve the class once again.
