HAVE FILLED OUT THE CARDS SENT THEM LAST SPRING. The Alumni Association has gone to a great (leal of trouble and expense to plan and pre­ pare a complete filing system in order to improve the efficiency of the Alumni service. Besides, with the rapidly growing body of Alumni, the new system will be almost in­ dispensable in editing and mailing THE MONTANA ALUMNUS. IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO BE SURE TO FILL OUT AND RETURN THE RECORD CARDS IMMEDIATELY This file should be complete before the next issue of THE MONTANA ALUMNUS is distributed.

THE FOLLOWING ALUMNI HAVE BEEN “LOST.” DO YOU KNOW WHERE THEY ARE? We have no addresses for these graduates of the University. If you hap­ pen to know where they may be reached, help us complete our files by send­ ing in their names and addresses. It will help the person whose address you send as well as us for then he or she will get the Alumni announcements and bulletins. Marvin W. Black, *21 Aaron A.
