That will take some doing,for the class of 1927 did the best jobever done in celebrating a 40th anniversary. This office will make everyeffort to avoid a repetition of the regrettable loss of the pictures of theclasses. Little was said about the lossin the last issue of the NEWS because we hoped the films might befound. But they have not been found.To say t h a t your executive secretaryis sorry is putting i t mildly. She really feels worse because she can donothing about it.On Alumni Day last year the classof 1927 did make themselves knownon the campus and did seem to havea good time. We hope they will repeat their reunion in 1972.The names of those present oncampus June 3 follow: Leolin Long,Herschel Adams, Alletah Eash Catt,Olive Howe Fosha, Thelma PettySchmalzried, Xena Martin McCune,Arthur Knepp, Othniel Catt, DickLenore Gilliatt Gill, Rev.

Roll Call Off ToA Good StartThe current Alumni Roll Call campaign has already reached the onethird mark with good results so f a r .In the first four months of the campaign results each month have surpassed the totals recorded in lastyear’s record-setting campaign.The committee is much encouragedwith the number of new donors sof a r this year. If all who participatedlast year will again send their contributions, we should have no troublein reaching our goal of 1250 alumniparticipants.The goal is extremely important tous this year because of the 4,000Challenge Gift t o Indiana Central.It is contingent upon receiving 36,000 from 1250 alumni, a goal whichis not beyond our reach.The Fellows program is rapidlyexpanding its membership. Since thestart of this year’s fund drive, 17new fellows have been recorded, ofwhich the following nine are alumni :Sylvia H. Parks, Carrol and MarthaVertrees, Hope and Leroy Rapp, LynnYoungblood, Stan and Amy Zent, A.W. and Marie York, Dan and PatsyWilkinson, C. David Hancock, andEverett and Kathryn Swank. BillFisher is general chairman of theFellows program with Dr. CharlesDill serving a s alumni Fellows chairman.Much work is yet to be done before we reach our goals.

The Albrights’Summer TravelsiOtto Albright, ’26, who had spent18 years as a member of the IndianaHigh School Athletic Council, spentmost of the past summer with Mrs.Albright (Marguerite Brockschmidt’28) in travel.They first went by air to Los Angeles and thence to Honolulu, Hawaii,for the National Federal Athletic Association’s annual meeting from July7 to July 13. The meeting gave toppriority to the role of athletics incombating juvenile delinquency andthe drop-out problem.While on the Islands they attendeda Luau, the famous native feast ofthe Polynesians, visited Pearl Harbor,were taken to the top of Mt. Tantalus, Ernie Pyle’s grave, the University of Hawaii, the native State Capitol and former palace. They saw pineapples growing and being harvestedand found how delicious can be a pineapple picked ripe and served fresh.On their return, after a brief stopin Seattle, they flew into Juneau,Alaska, where they spent a very happy week with their daughter, PhyllisAnn (Albright) X53 Davis, formerState Supervisor of Home Economicsthere. While there they visited glaciers, lakes, and mountains, and werelucky enough to see the play, “Teyonof Alaska” based on the book, “Lordof Alaska,” which depicts the Russianbeginnings in Alaska.Their next three weeks were spentin and around London, going againby air, this time over Banff, LakeLouise, the wheat fields of Saskatchewan, Hudson Bay and Greenland. InEngland they saw all the famousplaces and events, such a s the Changing of the Guard and the Royal Races.They saw a play in the Globe Theaterand saw the Hippies. However, theirgreatest pleasure was in being withtheir daughter, her husband, who isin the Air Force, and their grandchildren.They finished their summer witha trip through a part of the Southof the U. S. Through it all they wereinspired by their opportunity t o visitchurches : a n interdenominationalchurch in Hawaii, a Methodist churchin Juneau, the Ruislip Air ForceBase chapel in England, where theyparticipated in communion with theservice men and guests from everyFaith, and a Baptist Church in Atlanta.They say, “It is encouraging t o findthat wherever one goes, there aremany who are seeking to serve theirSavior in worship as well as in deed.“Perhaps the most eye-opening experience occurred in Los Angeles,where we saw a ‘Love-in’ in GriffithPark. That is a n education in itself.”Alumnus JoinsMarch Of DimesLee Van Jelgerhuis Jr., ’60, hasbeen appointed field representativefor The NationalFoundation- Marchof Dimes in western Indiana, BasilO’Connor,president of the organization, h a s announced.Mr. Van Jelgerhius will work withvolu
