1958
This is the last month for the 1967 Alumni Fund Drive and at this writing our Class stands fifth out of seven in the Green Derby. We have a great big grand total of 26 percent participation in this year's drive which leaves a long way for us to go. So all of you who have not yet mailed your checks in, please take a minute and do so as soon as possible!
I guess this must be the month to give you guys the jab! As I prepare to write this column with the information which you have sent, I look at one letter received this month. If it weren't for the information we receive from the College Clipping Service, this month's column would be almost non-existent. So please, fellas, give me a break! The column's fun to write, but it's pretty hard to write when you haven't heard from anybody. I guarantee that if you let me know what you're doing, I'll definitely see that it gets in the column.
