1967 Brosius Homecoming HiUhliUhts
The stage was set, bui the weather was wet.
"A REUNION TO REMEMBER"
WERE YOU THERE? If not, you missed a wonderful time. The eighth Homecoming has come and gone, but the memories will linger on. Over the three day period a total of ll5 were "aboard". Who was the first to arrive? Honors for this probably go to Colla (Snider) Stevens and her family who were already residing at the hotel.
The "weather man" could have been a little more cooperative. Let's say, it could have been better and it could have been worse. The prediction for extremely warm weather did not materialize, but it didn't make any difference. When a group of Nor- mal College alums get together the sun is always shining in their hearts. Inciden- tally, the sun did shine Saturday and Sun- day--so, everyone had the opportunity to deepen his tan one or two degrees.
As in the past, the program was placed in the hands of the alums and in a very short time committees were organized and activities scheduled. The program included:
A Hike Around the Lake; Volleyball; Camp- fire; Business Meeting; Sailing; Softball;
Dance; Water Carnival; Free Time (Kaf- fee Klatsch) and Scavenger Hunt. A few changes had to be made because of weath- er but, like real campers, everything was taken in stride. In lieu of the outdoor campfire Friday evening, everyone assem- bled in Jahn Hall and had a glorious time doing all of the campfire activities. The program closed with colorEid slides and motion pictures taken by Mrs. straub, Mrs.
Martha (Wigal) Walsh and Henry Lohse of the '65 Homecoming, In the absence of sound, comments poured forth that pro- voked a great deal of laughter which, fig- uratively speaking, rocked the rafters of Jahn Hall. Henry Lohse, a principal and jack-of-all-trades, operated the machines flawlessly.
One of the outstanding highlights was the softball game between the alums and the hotel guests. Alums, who have been attend- ing the Brosius Homecomings, have always looked forward to this contest because it is packed with action, spectacular plays, interpretation of rules (reading between the lines) and the humorous heckling by the spectators. Going into this game the alums had "two legs" on the trophy. Through the superb, razzle-dazzle pitching of Rudy Schreiber, who was in unusually rare form, and the excellent support of his teammates, the alums retired the trophy by winning the game 9 - 8. Accolades go to John Brogneaux, Branch McCracken and Wally Eberhardt for the splendid job they did in officiating this crucial game. No one flinched an inch when a decision was ques- tioned--that' s what you call top-notch offi- ciating,
Elkhart Lake - At the end of our campus.
The dance Saturday evening under the leadership of Dorothea and Adolph Winter was a "Big Hit". Jahn Hall was converted into a ballroom and was gaily decorated with colored streamers and posters which were enhanced greatly by the subdued light- ing effects. The theme for the evening was to come dressed in a costume depicting

The judges, Mr. & Mrs. Brogneaux, Mr. &
Mrs. McCracken and Mrs. Gladys (Weisheit) Engelhardt had an extremely difficult time

in determining the winners. Some of those who received recognition were: "Paper Dolls", Bressler family (Rosie, Whitey, Susan & Joey); "Me & My Shadow", Jo- hanne (Guenter) Totten and daughter; "A- merican Tragedy", Billie Boettjer) Stewart;
"Bobbsie Twins", Shirley & Sharon Par- rett; "Million Dollar Babies", Mabelle (Lanky Muenster) Schueler, Sarah (Peggy) Hope and Marty Putthoff; ''Tiger Rag", Earl Vornheder; "Beer Barrel Polka", Mrs.
Jean (Seager) Diehl; "Julius Caesar", Har- ry stew art; "Of Human Bondage", Bob Schreiber with Karen Schulte, Kitty Bald- ridge, Deanna and ancy Schreiber, Gail Wolf, Jan Myers and Marsha Crockett;
''Mammy", Matt Schreiber.
The orchestra was smooth and had a repertoire of music that astounded every- one. With hardly a pause, they went from polka, rhumba, cha-cha, waltz, tango--you name it and they played it. Everyone moved flawlessly from one tempo to another with- out a pause--that good old Normal College training.
Our good friend, Harry Grabner, MC'd the dance like a real "pro"; never was there a dull moment. To start things off, Harry and Henry Lohse called squares and mixers. It was· then that good old Jahn Hall began to rock and sway. It was an evening of swing and sway in all the tempos--an evening to be long remembered.
One of the most popular places aboard Camp Brosius during the free time and practically any other time, was Peg &
Jack stocker's "YE 0 LDE". A most con- genial atmosphere (Gemutlichkeit) was al-

ways prevalent; everyone was welcomed-- no one was a stranger. The inside of their cabin was beautifully decorated with pos- ters and designs drawn by Henry Lohse who, as we all !mow, is quite an artist. A great big "THANKS" to Peg & Jack for their wonderful hospitality.
It has been said, "If you don't listen, you won't learn anything". It happened dur- ing the Women's Balloon Breaking Relay (inflate-sit on it-break it), One of the moth- ers was experiencing difficulty in breaking the balloon when the excited voice of her little son screamed, "Mama, use your stomach muscles"--it worked!
Mr. & Mrs. Powell and all the kitchen
help deserve a big vote of "THANKS"
for the delicious and appetizing meals they served; everything moved along smoothly.
When you serve an average of ll2-ll5 meals per sitting, it's obvious that everything must be well organized.
We certainly wish to express our sin- cere gratitude and appreciation to John Brogneaux and Branch McCracken for com- ing to represent the School of HPER.
Honors for the largest family present go to Dr. & Mrs. Fred Rohdes who have six boys; Fritzie-10; Geoffrey-8; Hans-7;
Harold-5; Ole-3 and Larry-I.
The alum who drove the greatest dis- tance was Bill Bischoff from Mt. Dora, Florida in his little green VW. Bill is re- tired and taught formerly in Cincinatti.
Special thanks to Bob Owen for repairing the "lift"! What a lift it was to many of us to ride up and down the hill again.
Following breakfast Monday, the whirr of the motors was the signal for departure.

Behind the scene of every project there is someone who, quietly and unassumingly, sees that everything is well organized, func- tions smoothly, and that the welfare of everyone is considered. Credit for all this goes to our charming and gracious hostess, Mrs. Lola Lohse, Director, for making our Homecoming so pleasant and enjoyable.
In closing we certainly want to extend our sincere thanks and gratitude to everyone for making this Homecoming another memorable occasion. It isn't the weather, it isn't the place, it isn't the comforts or luxuries that make our gatherings such a great delight and enjoyment--it's that common bond of togetherness, fellowship, comradeship, or whatever you want to call it, and mutual understanding. Another Homecoming at Bro- sius has come and gone, but the happy mem-
?_ries will always be rememj~· F .M.

We extend our heartiest congratulations to Karen and Tim for this great honor.
JOHN (MIKE) DAL TON,
ROVING REPORTER, REPORTS:
For the last six months I have been pretty much in one place (Cincinnati) learning the new job I took on a year ago. I have an office down town as part of my new job in developing jobs for the handicapped. This is a very interesting job, it is a switch to work with people, one at a time, rather than in large classes. I call on personnel directors all over town in trying to re- locate workers who have been hurt in indus- trial accidents.
I will go to Cleveland next month and plan a short hop to Arizona and Mexico in Nov-
ember. I just have to hit Florida in late February where Wally Eberhardt will be beaming with pride. And why not? As you
Page 8
know, the st. Louis Cardinals are a shoo-in to win the National League pennant, and of course Wally had a hand in this since he has been conditioning those guys ever since last winter. If the Cards happen to win, and they very well may do just that, Eberhardt will stand nine feet tall! Our Cincinnati Reds are copying Wally's physi- cal education techniques in conditioning the pro baseball players.
I phoned Earl Vornheder and he filled me in on some things. It seems Rudy Memmel is going strong, as usual, a very popular and able man here as director of physical education in Cincinnati schools.
William Bischoff has the honors of traveling the great- est distance to Homecoming - Mt. Dora, Fla.
What came as a surprise to me is that Bill Bischoff is here in Cincinnati at least as of today, Setpember 12. I hear he is visiting with friends here and I presume Bill will be enroute to Florida, his home, very soon.
Mrs. Earl Vornheder, nee Helen Walker, is directing a pre-school institute for the small fry here and as I remember her, the job will be very competently done.
Mrs. Vornheder used to teach in a school where I once taught here in Cincinnati and they don't make teachers more able than Helen.
I hear that Henry Schwegler is still carry- the ball, teaching physical education here in Cincinnati schools.
Frank Mixie, the terrific gymnast is also still in harness. He showed a lot of people here in the Fairmount area just how great a physical education can be. I hear that Mixie put on a terrific stage show at his school, something no gym teacher ever approached at that school.
I asked Earl Vornheder about the swim- ming pool, now a swim club, which was operated by the late Frank Phillips, a wonder- ful guy and another well known NCAGU
ALUM I BULLETIN alumnus, Earl told me that Frank's sister, Miriam Phillips, now runs the Phillips swim club in the summer.
Joe Schweitzer spent the summer with relatives in New Jersey, taking it easy at a lakeside home where he seems to enjoy the summer days.
Lou Montgomery worked at the summer camp where he has enjoyed many seasons teaching kids to swim etc.
DICK STROHMER REPORTS FROM DETROIT:
My wife, BELLA, and I did quite some jaunting over our State of Michigan, with visits at Traverse City and that area in the upper part of the Lower Peninsula and with another visit at West Branch, drop- ping in to call on the sons and daughters (and of course the grandchildren). Then in mid-summer an easy-going trip through Ontario and crossing into New York state at Niagara Falls and on to Canadaigua to attend the annual picnic of the Van ORMAN clan, MRS. STROHMER'S father's family.
Certainly New York State has some spots and scenic areas.
LOUIS E. THIERRY of June 1915 has fulIY recovered from his last winter's incapaci- tation caused by a virus while wintering in St. Petersburg. Late this Spring found Lou and his wife, CHRISTI A, on their perman- ent base on Michigan's beautiful Torch Lake.
Lou was seen operating his mini-tractor on his garden and lawn late this summer and was in great condition. At this writing the Thierrys are on an independent motor- car tour of Europe, which will consume several months, with Munich as their base.
Lou's wife is a native of Bavaria although she had for many years been a Registered urse in one of Detroit's large hospitals.
LORETT A (THIERRY) HODGES, daughter of the THIERRYS, class of 1942, is attending school this fall after having had some years teaching in Florida and also in Traverse City, Mich. We wish the Thierry couple a most enjoyable tour.
ANNA SCHMOOK, 1912, was recently study- ing in London, England and has since travel- led over to Munich to enjoy some of that OKTOBER FEST. Certainly Anna should have much to tell on her return. Best of health to Anna.
RAY ROSSI, 1915, was last heard from while he was in England, - and only Ray knows where we will hear from him next.
May he, as he always has for many years, enjoy his jaunts.
FRED SPIER, 1915, with his wife, enjoyed a good stay in New Smyrna, Florida, this
ALUMNI BULLET!
.i,>ast winter; then attended a family reunion at Alton, Ill; and then toured to Colorado to visit their son. The summer months were enjoyed at their summer home on Harsen's Island on Michigan's heavily travelled St.
Clair River and Lake St. Clair.
ARTHUR J, SCHUETINER, who in 1915 was one of five men who completed the Elementary Class, is without a doubt one of the most travelled as well as one of the most experienced of ormal College A.G.U.
Alumni. In his early years, while teaching in Kansas City and also in Buffalo, Art took college work and earned his B.S. and his M.A. degrees. Then followed some years as Director of the Men's Gymnasium at the University of Illinois and also Asst.
State Supervisor of Physical Education in California, being stationed in Sacramento.
Then Art was with the Junior College in Sacramento from its start and remained until the Los Angeles City College was opened and remained with them for twenty- one years. In between these assignments and service Art taught at Colorado State Teachers College; California University at Davis (Cali- fornia Aggies); and at the University of South- ern California.
During the summer months, Art and his wife attended foreign as well as local Univer- sities including three summers atthe Univer- sity of Florence in Italy taking Languages and Art; two summers at the University of Salzbw·g, Austria, studying Music and Lan- guage; two summers at the University of Vienna with Biological Science and Language being studied; one summer at the University of Berlin with Drama and Language; and one summer at the University of Mexico, studying Culture and Language.
It should be noted that in "THE GYMNAST"
of June 1915 were these words, - under the name and picture of ART, - "Arthur burns the midnight oil quite regularly, --- and is our best --- student." So this man has really produced through these many years and is to be congratulated on his latest venture - being elected Financial Secretary of the American Association of Retired Persons and very active in the National Retired Teachers Association.
This summer found the SCHUETTNER couple doing Oregon, Nevada and Hawaii in connection with these two organizations for retired people. Finally they are again at home, in Ojai, Calif.; P.O. Box 554;

Received a card from Munich with notes on it from both A A SCHMOOI and the THIERRY couple that they actually bumped into each other in the lobby of a popular Pensione in that big city of Munich. They happened to all be registered in that very same Hostel.
SPUTH SCHOLARSHIP AWARD
REPORTS FROM CINCINNATI:
LOU ROTH reports:
A short visit to Hawaii would have been a dream come true - but stretch it out into two months' stay in the beautiful home of daughter BETTY LOU and her hubby LARRY OLLIGES, and then add to this the blessing of a new, fine, healthy grandson and you have a faint idea of the wonderful summer MUTZIE and I have just enjoyed!
LARRY has seen nothing but pictures and heard only the recorded gurglings of his happy offspring so far. A navy officer on a destroyer in waters off Vietnam, Larry's present six months' tour of duty will end in late October, then will come the joyous reunion with Betty Lou, son, JOHN, and the new arrival, ROBERT KEONI!
A special treat during our stay was the opportunity to welcome MRS. HESTER and her sister P MARTHA, with leis and the traditional "Aloha" greetings as they ar- rived in Honolulu on their visit to the beau- tiful islands.

You can read the wonderful word-pictures that are written about Hawaii - but they are not enough! You've just got to go and see for yourself.
AL ISLER reports:
LOIS, the four children and I had a de- lightful camping trip. We visited New York City, all of the New England states and Niagara Falls. We loved every place and hope to return some day.
After six years as principal of Hiberle School, I have been transferred to Chase School. The new situation is interesting and challenging.
AL MANN reports:
MIRIAM and I lived in Israel for two months.
We rented an apartment amongst the Israeli cooperative housing. We visited practically all of Israel even going into the various milit- ary zones by the use of passes. We were fortunate to be able togetprivateinformation and visit establishments on military achieve- ments, types of education, work with the immigrants, work with the Arabs and the economics of Israel at present. I was able to pick up new games and dances for physi- cal education.
ARCH, '21 and MILDRED McCART EY, '15, report:
We spent a very relaxing summer at our summer retreat on the Kennebec River in Maine.
RUDIE MEMMEL reports:
"Westward Ho." a trip tothePacific Coast which had been in the planning stages for at least two years, became a reality this past summer. Vickie and I left Cincinnati
Anyone for Swimming? Harriet and Harry Grabner.
The family with the "Most." Dr. and Mrs. Fred Rohdes, Lima, Ohio are seen here with five of their sons. Son No. 6, Larry, was in "Dream-Land" when this picture was taken.
July 6th and, after driving 7500 miles through 14 states and a portion of Mexico, returned to the Queen City one month later with a heavily laden automobile.
There are many highlights in a trip of this kind but a few remain vividly implanted in your mind's eye. Just outside the little town of Kayenta, Utah, we started driving up a rather treacherous and narrow dirt road heading toward the top of a precipice known as the Dugway. After some 30 minutes of driving around breath-taking curves, edg- ing up the cliff and praying that no one was coming down, we finally reached the top and were rewarded with a view of the Navajo country that few tourists see from this vantage point. Since we made it a prac- tice to have our lunch each day at some scenic spot, we chose to stay right there and enjoy the beauty while quenching our thirst and satisfying the inner man. After about two hours we finally spied another car making the slow, tedious trip up the cliff side and, naturally, we had to welcome it to the place which we named "Rudie and Vickie's Hideaway.''
From San Francisco we travelled south along the costal scenic highway of the Pacific all the way to Ensenada, Mexico. During this 6-day portion of our trip, besides taking in the sights around Los Angeles, Carmel, San Simeon, Big Sur and San Diego, we stopped numerous times at the beaches along the ocean to enjoy the waters of the Pacific and thrill at the pounding of the surf on
the nearby rocks. The offerings of evada, particularly in Reno and Las Vegas, were not overlooked and we celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary enjoying the Mickey Finn dinner show at the Golden Nugget Casino in Sparks, just outside of Reno.
Besides this trip we had a few restful and carefree weeks at "Happiness House"
in Cincinnati. It was a marvelous summer and our only regret was that we were unable to attend Homecoming at Brosius because it coincided with returning to work for the Cincinnati Public Schools. Finally, in closing, we highly recommend a tour of our western states to those of you who may not have had the privilege of seeing the beauty and wonders of this portion of the United States.
DAVID MATHER reports:
I will be at the same school (Cincinnati Withrow H.S.) but have been transferred to the boys' physical education department.
Previously I was teaching Behind the Whe.el Driver Training for the past seven years.
We stopped at the ormal College this summer and the only one there was MRS.
STRAUB. We had a nice visit and it brought back some fond memories. We also went to Buffalo to visit our grandparents and during our stay I had the pleasure of visiting PEG and JOHN STOCKER who had just returned from Brosius Homecoming. We had quite an interesting chat. One of these years I hope to bring my family up for one of the
"get togethers".
Everyone is just fine. PAT is back in her three bowling leagues, JANICE arid BARBARA are back in school and PAMELA who will be five this Dec., will not start school until next year. I'll still be coach- ing the tennis team and hope we can do as well as last year (League Champions).

ALUM I BULLETIN
SUSANNE POWERS REPORTS ON JUNE CAMP 1967
Education, new experiences, and fun were the goals the Normal College campers plan- ned to achieve during the month of June at Camp Brosius. With the fine coopera- tion of the high-spirited students, these goals were attained under the excellent guidance of Mrs. Lohse, Mrs. Hester and Dr. Schreiber.
The cold rainy weather which greeted the campers on May 28th did not seem to damp- en their spirits, but some were disappointed- -
"Sunny Camp Brosius" was not as sunny as they expected. Although the weather was not too bad, many of the students would have enjoyed having just a little more sun dur- ing the final week as they hurried and struggled to pass their swimming and track aims for their practical grade--it was now or suffer!
It did rain on our "overnight camp out", but like real Normalites we took it in stride. Although the boys were not too happy about sleeping on the cold, hard cement floor in the shelter house, they were mighty glad they did when the big rain came during the night and the girls had to seek shelter in the cars. Some of them got wetp but everyone survived; it was an experience that will be long remem- bered.
Camp would not have been ccmplete with- out one mischievous prank which was per- formed by some brave camper. Many will remember Whitey, our chef, has a habit of ringing the dinner bell in some in- stances for an unreasonable length of time.
It seems to some of the hungry campers, who make it to the mess hall early, that they have to wait an unbearable amount of time to get in without having to be delayed by Whitey's bell ringing. One morning Whitey
ALUMNI BULLETIN
calmly stepped out of the mess hall and pulled the bell rope. To his surprise the bell did not ring; the clapper was missing.
Many students thought they would leave this breakfast hungry, but the clapper was returned and the campers had their break- fast.
The last week of camp was both exciting and sad. Everyone studied hard to pass their final tests. As soon as the aims were passed and the studying finished the fresh- men made preparations for the Farewell Banquet and Dance. The dinner and dance with its theme, "ILLlAD-SOPHOS" 1967, was a complete success. Many did not realize the camp session was nearly over until the Farewell Campfire. The next day the freshmen said, "goodbye" to the sopho- mores and left with saddened hearts never to forget June 1967 at Camp Brosius.
Down at the waterfront, where the cool winds blow, are L. to R.: Mary (Schafer) Allender, Knoxville, Tenn.
and Betty (Venus) and John Bridge, Middleport, N.Y.
WITH APPRECIATION
The following two letters were read at the Alumni Meeting held at Camp Brosius
last August: .
MRS. ARTHUR S. DANIELS, wife of the late DEAN ARTHUR DANIELS, writes:
I had a letter from Bill Armstrong of the I.U. Foundation a few days ago, say- ing he knew I would be pleased that the Alumni Association of the ormal College had (quote) sent along a very handsome check in memory of Art.
I am pleased that you thought so much of him and I add my thanks to those of the Foundation.
WILLIAM S. ARMSTRONG, Executive Dir- ector of the I.U. Foundation, writes:
It was certainly a wonderful thing for the Alumni Association of the Normal Col- lege of A.G.U. of Indiana University to send a check as a memorial to Dr. Arthur Daniels. Certainly Dean Daniels is being missed daily around here in every place, because he certainly was a leader and a tremendous asset to the great field of work that he loved so much.
I hope you will convey to your member-
Page 13 ship and others responsible the feeling of all of us here at the Foundation for this loyal expression.
I shall see that Mrs. Daniels is informed of this memorial.
MESSAGE FROM ALUMNI PRESIDENT
As we enter into the second 100 years in the growth of the Normal College we want to continue the fine record the Col- lege has maintained throughout the years in preparing men and women to be the leaders irt the field of Health and Physi- cal Education.
We have an excellent staff and a pro- gram that has always been good. Facili- ties are old but are filled with traditions and memories we will never forget. To continue to maintain the role of leader- ship we must strive to do better and be- come better informed.
The staff under the direction of Mrs.
Lola Lohse is making every effort to keep abreast of the most recent research and developments in the field. As each of you know this is a tremendous task because of the enormous amount of research being done today.
We as alums can be the eyes and ears for the college. As we see and develop new ideas or new techniques of our own then it is our responsibility to feed this information back to the college.
Our programs of education must meet the needs of society today. We cannot ex- pect to maintain a position of leadership with programs that were right for yester- day. Since we are active, we should be able to reduce the time lag that is ever present in education if we will take the time to report what is new to the staff, so they can adapt, adjust or add to the program in order to keep it the best pro- gram of training young people to be lead- ers in physical education.
As we know the school will be moving to new facilities at the Medical Center before too many years past. The date has not been set, but plans are in motion.
This year's class is one of the largest because many of you are continuing to send excellent candidates to the school. We must increase our efforts in this respect es- pecially with regards to sending male stu- dents.
Certainly elsewhere in this bulletin you will read about the demonstration the stu- dents will present at the National Conven- tion to be held in st. Louis this coming March. At the convention we would like to have a large representation of Alumni in attendance at the meetings and at the demonstrations.
Page 14
We are going to have a special meeting of the Alumni Association at the conven- tion. The purpose of the meeting will be to make necessary changes in our consti- tution to permit us to continue our support of the school and to continue bringing you this bulletin. Our thanks to Fred Martin for doing an excellent job with the bulletin.
As you know prices are going up on every- thing and printing prices are also increasing.
The alumni association officers and the alums who were present at the homecoming at Camp Brosius this past August feel strongly that it is time to increase the alum- ni dues. To do this a change must be made in the constitution. We would like to change the wording of Article III. Membership Sec. I.
by deleting the words - "of two dollars ($2.00)''.
The amount of dues could then be set by a vote of the members. It is our recom- mendation to increase the dues to $3.00 per year.
Make plans now to attend the convention.
See you in st. Louis.

W. K. Streit Reports on World Conference on Smoking and Health
Following is a brief report of my atten- dance and participation in the first World Conference on Smoking and Health, held in New York City, September ll-13, 1967.
The purposes of the Conference were to compare experiences and to exchange ideas, to report on new medical and scientific findings and to recommend programs of research, education, and public and citizen action against cigarette smoking.
The Conference was sponsored by the United States National Interagency Council on Smoking and Health which is comprised of twenty-three voluntary and public health and education agencies. The meeting was directed by the Americq.n Cancer Society.
Delegates from thirty-four countries at- tended the sessions. Dr. Luther L. Terry, former Surgeon General of the United States, was chairman. Among the speakers were world-renowned scientists, medical author- ities and educators.
Dr. William H. st~wart, current Surgeon General, declared that we are at a turning point in the battle to overcome the dangers of cigarettes. He proposed a two-pronged attack: development of a safer cigarette and a stepped-up campaign to inform the public of the hazards of cigarette smoking.
Evidence testifying to the shortened life expentancy of smokers mounts - - but smokers are not listening and the advertisements they are watching and reading tend to can- cel out the health warnings. The American Cancer Society, on the basis of new data involving a half-million men, reveals that the smoker is cutting down his life by 3-1/2 years.
Congratulations are extended to Theodore Pollock of Indianapolis, who was elected President of the Indi- ana University HPER Alumni Association this past summer. Ted teaches at Arlington High School.

Sunday, October 1st, we had our "Get Together Picnic,, at Walt Lienert's camp.
The weather was perfect and, needless to say, everyone had a wonderful time. Like typical Normal College students who are always yearning for action, practically every- one was engaged in some activity: softball, volleyball, football, archery, golf, tennis and what not. The only ones who missed some of this action was the committee in charge of this affair. It's only fitting and proper that a big vote of THANKS be ex- tended to Bob Stroup, chairman, Susanne Powers, Christine White, Nancy Schreiber, JoAnn Caplick, Larry Geiger, Janice Bland and John Kroger for the fine program they arranged and, of course, the wide variety of delicious food that was served -- it hit the spot -- no one was disappointed.

Yes. it was a beautiful day that was climaxed with a campfire and the singing of familiar songs led by our virtuoso of the guitar. Phyllis Peck.
Although we have no Homecoming uns November, we do have a tremendous pro- ject confronting us next year. Louis Kitt- laus, supervisor of physical education in the St. Louis public schools and Chair- man for the National HPER Convention, has honored us by inviting the entire stu- dent body to present a demonstration de- picting the History of Physical Education.
So, we have much to prepare in the not too distant future. First, as you well know_, the freshmen must be thGroughly indoctrin- ated and then the specific numbers. Let's all plan to be there for this grand occa- si.on--an Alumni Meeting is also scheduled-- See you in St. Louis.
