erm&n
Although many summer school
students have kept me occupied,
it's good to see the old familiar
faces back again. It's good. also,
to see the numerous freshmen who
are enrolling for the first time. It
is bur hope that each of the new
youngsters will take advantage of
the many opportunities Howard has
to offer. . ,
It looks as though I will be
bidding all my old friends good¬
bye before too long. They tell
me that construction has begun
on the new campus across the
mountain, and I am too old and
set in my ways tb change scenery
now.
I will miss you students when
you leave. We have had many good
times together. But. they have just
begun, and it will be a while be¬
fore you make the change. We can
still have lots of fun.
We are glad to see the touring
professors back. I understand Mrs.
Van Gelder, Miss Foreman and
Mrs. Sizemore bad a most enjoy¬
able time In Europe. Mrs. Size¬
more reports that the Coronation
was excellent, and Mrs. Van
Gelder told me that Paris Is a
beautiful place.
I want to make a request of all
the students. Please attend. If pos¬
sible, the Civic Repertory Theatre
October 7. The proceeds will go to
the Student Activity building fund.
. . . Until I see you again next week,
study real hard.
