Don't forget our Big Tenth Reunion, June 18-20. You have already received the first mailing for the reunion committee. They are counting on the return of those postcards on which you can indicate your attendance. You can bet that this will be the biggest gathering of the class since commencement day, 1955. The important thing is that you're on hand to enjoy the fun. Let Dick Hastings know you're planning to attend.

Jack Bailey is working on a master's degree in elementary education at the University of Florida in Gainesville. He expects to complete the task in December, and hopes to go on to two or three years of teaching social studies and English in the sixth or seventh grade. Jack plans to return to school later for a doctorate in education and then pursue a career in research. At present he holds a research assistantship for a study in rehabilitation. On weekends this devoted scholar is transformed into a high-speed serviceman for Sudden Service Fuel Oil Co. He dashes around Gainesville in his radio-equipped truck, delivering fuel oil and kerosene and cleaning space heaters. The company also installs plastic-pipe lawn sprinkling systems, so Jack has performed a few of those jobs, too. One, for a bank, later produced a geyser in front of a teller's window, but Jack insists it was the fault of another firm which dug too low in putting a black-top driveway down over some of his pipe.

Dr. Dick Braun departed from the Hos- pital for Special Surgery in New York and now wears a Navy lieutenant commander's uniform in San Diego. Among other M.D.s on the move, Jack Bryan shifted from Roanoke to Charlottesville, Va., and DaveNeville transferred from Norwich, Vt., to Bethesda, Md., where he's doing research at the National Institutes of Health. Dr. PhilReilly is in East Walpole, Mass.

Blake and Sherry Irons welcomed their second daughter, Catherine, November 21 in Hartford. They live in nearby Simsbury, and Blake says now that the baby has ar- rived, this year's project will be landscaping around their house. "I have just finished assembling a bird feeder which we have placed in the back yard," he writes. "So far, the squirrels seem to be getting more of the seed than the birds do."

Jim Heifer is now an assistant professor of religion at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn., and Doug Archibald is an instructor of English at Cornell.

A press release for Globe Rubber Products Corp., Philadelphia, quotes the company's president, Emanuel Meyer, as saying, "Dick Frieder has grown with the company and has become one of the industry's leaders." Globe is publiclyowned, has annual sales over $20 million, and says it's the "largest manufacturer of vinyl and rubber housewares and automotive car mats in the world." Dick started with Globe in 1959 after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania Law School and being admitted to the Pennsylvania bar. In 1961 he became house counsel and executive assistant to the president, and two years later was made a vice president. He's in charge of the internal sales organization covering the automotive field, and also handles several key accounts in the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean area. The somewhatnusual purpose of the company's press release: to note that Dick "will mark his sixth year with the company in 1965."

According to the man he will assist, Harry will work with him in all phases of the business; the company's principal fields are production of flour and animal feeds. Harry joined the company as assistant manager of the grain department in 1963 after six years of experience with grain merchandising in other firms. He's attending night classes at Creighton University and expects to get his master's degree in business administration in January1966.
