'Mr. Peter Newman and Miss Florence Petrino, who have just received the Motion Picture Academy award for their brilliant performance in The Conquest of Mars, have returned to Buffalo for the reunion.' That just gives an idea of the importance of this reunion ffolding paper: stops to scrutinize another gentleman who has entered the room, Commander Dellmorel.

They tell me Edward Kordinak and Angelo Zaccagnino, who are also pilots, flew to Buffalo for the reunion. Chester Kajdan, the managing director of a coast-to-coast air line, was a passenger bound for the same destination. By the way, another Tech graduate is on this plane, Mrs. Throcton.

Lillian DeGraff started just as we did for a non-stop flight through the stratosphere, from New York around the world and back. She hopes to break the record of ten hours. Petit: I heard about that. It was Amelia Earhart twenty years ago, but Lillian DeGraft today. There will not be many girls there to represent our class. Do you know of any others who will be at the reunion? Lucille: August Konefal, the fashion expert. is bringing his gown creator, Evelyn Stein. She will adequately represent the girls, as will Betha Daughtry, who is a kinder- garten authority: Gladys Brown, who married an architect. and Rose Priore, a beau- tician whose name is on all sorts of her preparations. Elizabeth Ioseph has been traveling in Iapan, but she may be there. CAt this point a passenger turns on the radio.
