We've commented before on how national magazines make mention of classmates almost as frequently as this column does and cited several examples. Just goes to show that despite our wellknown class nature (shy, retiring, modest, unassuming, etc.), you can't hide light under a bushel. This as a preamble to record that, featured in the forepart of a lengthy Business Week article on supersalesmen and changing marketing techniques, was an incisive quote from our own Fred Stephens, who, when he's not leading us to new records as Head Class Agent, is vice president of Sales of Gillette. Fred and Thelma were among several in Memorial Stadium last November on a Saturday afternoon when we (i) saw the Big Green take Columbia and (ii) heard the PA announce Penn's trouncing of Yale. (It wasn't the Super Bowl, but very satisfactory nonetheless.) Sitting near us were John and NancyAlger, Phil and Nancy Beekman, and DickLoewenthal.

Also in Hanover that weekend were Bob andMary Longabaugh, the former to receive the College award as Club Secretary of the Year, reported upon in last month's column. Club work is hard work and Bob deserves our class plaudits in addition to those awarded by the College.

Kisuk Cheung, who for the last decade or so has been sporting a series of mailing addresses which contain no recognizable words in either English or Korean, has done it again. His new one: SSN-031-28-5560, USA EDFE, APO SF 96310. If you pen something to the foregoing, it will go to Alaska (somewhere) as Kisuk is now heading up the U. S. Army Engineer District for the state.

Dick Calkins announces that his Chicago law firm, Messrs Burditt and Calkins at 135 South LaSalle, has expanded through merger with another firm; they now have 19 lawyers which ought to be enough to solve any legal problem that we might have with Mayor Daley or anyone else, for that matter.
