The class has done so well over the past year that I will have to make a number of large awards in this article. The first goes to Steve Lampl, all of the people who helped him. and the class for the excellent showing in the Alumni Fund. An outstanding 72% of the class contributed to the Fund. A new type of fund is being set up for the 200th Anniversary so watch your nickels.

The second large award of the article goes to Al Escalante who, as a geologist engaged in foreign exploration for petroleum in Guatemala for the Union Oil Company of California, has been working in the deep jungles of El Peten, Guatemala. The following is a quotation from Union Oil's magazine 76. "Escalante made a non-routine entry in his field notes for the day: 'Today while cutting a trail six kilometers southeast of the camp, we uncovered the ruins of an ancient Indian city.... It may throw light on the little known social organization and habits of men who peopled our hemisphere about 400 A.D., about the time that Attila the Hun was preparing his invasion of Imperial Roma'."
