Robin Armstrong is currently an itinerant scholar, having taught courses in geography at the University of Winnipeg, the University of Windsor, and at the University of Guelph consecutive season. This year's version will contain its usual witty quips, excellent investigative reports, inane platitudes, profound ponderings, and tales of heroic adventures the world over. No, the notes will not be based upon tales from Webster Avenue. They will come from contributors in the Class of'75, most of whom have left Webster Ave. and its environs, and have journeyed to parts unknown. A class secretary's imagination can only be so vivid before reports border on libel. The more news that is received from all of you, the less chance there is that yours truly will have to invent libelous stories. Get the message? Please write.

Last year at this time I preceded the news portion of the column with congratulations to Head Agent Rick Waddell and all the other class agents for winning our Green Derby race in the Alumni Fund. Lee Trevino once said, "Any hacker can win once, but it takes a real player to win two in a row." Rick and his agents (sounds like "Freddie and the Dreamers") showed that they are real players by winning the Green Derby with 51.5 per cent participation. Trailing the Class of '76 for most of the campaign, Waddell's wonders showed their spirit and forged ahead in the late stages to win. On behalf of the Class I once again offer congratulations to all who worked on the drive and thanks to all who contributed.

A tip of my hat to Father Bill at Aquinas House who gets a lot of credit for telling me about the Good Shepherd..."

Many of you have asked about my friends, the cockroaches from Apartment A. Funny you should ask because I got a letter from one of them the other day saying that they missed me and my sweaters. Apparently, they are hungry and have offered their services in the way of mowing lawns, doing dishes, and other chores in return for a steady diet of woolen goods. I declined, but told them that maybe some other '75s would be interested and that I would send out some feelers. Please let me know and I'll put you in touch with their spokesbug. That's it for this month.
