Alumni Fund Drive Hits $2,000 at Halfway Mark; Weaver Confident $5,000 Goal Can Be Achieved PMC's Alumni opened up their hearts and their pocketbooks and had contributed more than $2,000 at the halfway mark of their fund drive. More money poured in dur i ng the first month than in two months of any previous drive. With more than $500 being re ceived since Christmas, Chairman Jim Weaver, 1935, felt confident that a goal of approximately $5,000 can be attained before the drive ends Jan. 31. Weaver had this to say: liThe response to our annual PMC Alumni Gift Fund Drive has been outstanding. It just proves that everyone is willing to place money on a winning horse.

PMC MEN WITH OUTSTANDING MARKS IN LIFE: NO. 2 Burt Mustin Became Movie and Television Actor at 67; He Has Played in 31 Motion Pictures and 88 TV Shows BURT MUSTIN is a former PMC cadet who becarr.:'! a movie and television actor at the age of 67 - a point in life when most folks are retired and spending their winters on warm Florida beaches. The witty, 72-year old character actor sums up his success this way: " I simply found out they were willing to pay for the things I had done all my life for free!" BURT, WHO GRADUATED from PMC in 1903, has had roles in 31 motion pictures and 88 television shows in his five years on the Hol lywood scene. Many have been small roles but as Burt puts it, "tney pay well and an old man can't help but be pleased when he can wind up his 72nd year in the black - instead of the red." He has had his share of prom inent roles, too. On Ott. 3, he was featured in "The Millionaire," the Colgate - Palmolive Co. television production, playing the part of the World War I hero of Chateau Thierry and the Argonne.
