ALUMNI PP5 NEWSLETTER Vol. I, No. 1 Fall/Winter 1982-83 Alumni Class Notes Take On New Look Alumni Class Notes take on new look. This spring in keeping with the latest fashion trenDs, the PDS Alumni Newsletter presents a streamlineD silhouette. This newsletter, which will be publisheD once each year, will take the place of the spring Journal. It will contain class notes, articles written by alumni, anD news pertinent to alumni. The Journal will continue to bring you up-to-Date on news of the entire school as well as alumni news but will be maileD only once a year, in the fall. The change in format was prompteD by economic considerations but we hope you’ll finD that the Newsletter\s just as full of interesting information as the Journal. Please keep in minD that both the Journal anD the Newsletter will welcome your class notes as well as photographs, anD will continue to count on your participation. In the Alumni Office .
