In addition, I have been in the life insurance busi ness for the past six years and rince I have done work for many of our group I have a rather in timate knmvledge of the family affairs of many of the fellows in whom you are no doubt interested. I am hoping that my personal file will keep me going for a couple of issues and from that point on you will all have to help with a contribution. The Alumni Office feels that this cohmin is largely responsible for maintaining class interest in between reunions. So with everyone's help we will try to do just that. Incidentally, the reunion last year \\-as a very wonderful affair. Not really just an- other social function but something that all should try to attend. For many, including myself, it was the first %asit to the campus since graduation and I personally found the time spent on the campus very moving in many respects. It was wonderful seeing so many of ^e fellows for the first time in years and also a source of disappointment in missing faces that each had kind of looked forward to seeing. It is something that will be mentioned in the column from time to time not so much m the vfzy of promotion but because it is an indi vidual experience that you will find very hard to duplicate. There are a number of items that I would like to discuss with you before getting into the usual chatter: First of all the Brown family is li^ang out in the WASHINGTON, D.

The University of Notre Dame Alumni Association
Midland, Te.\as Fellow Alumni: July 1, 1956
During six beautiful days in what otherwise has been a miserable spring around South Bend, there were considerable "doins" at Notre Dame. Your Alumni Board met in an abbreviated session on Tuesday and \Vednesday and then participated in joint sessions with sixty-eight Alumni Club presidents from all over the country' for two days of concentrated sessions dealing with all phases of club activity. After hearing the "party line" by affable Jim Armstrong and his able Alumni Office staff, specific problems were discussed. Questions raised on each problem produced a lively exchange of ideas which should prove helpful to the individual club. You should be proud of your representatives—their endiusiasm and serious approach to the complexities of club guidance has assured the administration that a continuance of this program is beneficial to the Alumni and to Notre Dame. On Friday the "Old Grads" poured in for their respective class reunions—eight hundred strong. Any at tempt to recount the niyriad happenings, impressions and relived memories would fill a book—however, sev eral highlights stand out in my mind.—^The Class of '06^fifty years young—including Fathers Doremus and Burke.—^The "Twenty Fivers"—Class of '31—^Rock's last and perhaps his best—Metzger, O'Connor, Conley, et al, all looking fit and ready to go.—The screwballs of '36 out twenty years who broke up the '31 "bar asso ciation" meeting on Sunday attempting to throw "water boy" Mazziotti into the lake.—^The genuine interest exhibited in fellow classmates and things Notre Dame: Personal—"The last twent)' years haven't done a thing for you!" Sectional—"Do they allow colored television in Memphis?" Local—"What happened to the board sidewalks?" —The man who has won more games for Notre Dame than anyone living or dead—Jack Shea, '06—author of the Victory March.—^The standing ovation given Father Hesburgh at the conclusion of his dynamic speech. —^The sadness in discussing our missing friends.—^The beauty and serenfty of the campus—the grotto—the lakes—the new buildings—and the spiritual stimulation of returning to this lovely spot where Our Lady etched indelibly in our minds four unforgettable years.
Sincerely,
