occupied in this business, he takes courses in mechanical engineering at Cal. I also learned that Jack is Working for Blythe. VVitter Bond IIOuse, while going to night school in San Francisco. In a far corner of the room, behind some drapes, I discovered Babe Schrader. I let him into the secret because, since he Was talk- ing to no one, he had time for me. He is attending the College of the Pacific, Where he is majoring in physical education. John Gibson was another one we missed at this gathering. John is getting along fine as a featured player in the utalkiesf' However, he sent his kind regards to all our alumni. IVilma Bradbury was another of those people to whom out of sight, out of niindli does not apply. It seems she is making a name for herself and developing to even a greater degree her well known talents. J eff' Beaver was there. Heis been to Hawaii, lNIr. Editor! Im- agine that! You see after he graduated he contracted a desire to find out just how a grass skirt should rustle and shipped aboard the lNIalalo as mess boy. As he traveled most of the ocean voyage by grail , one trip was enough. Jeff is back on terra firma. lNIr. Beaver, so he says, will work about the lflast Bay Cnot too near the bay, he would qualifyl at some good land job until next fall, when he plans to go to Chicago to live with his sister and attend the Y.lNI.C.A. University tl'lC1'C. Wlhile gaining the above information, I had been ensconed on a throne behind the drums, but at this point the orchestra decided to move, and unfortunatley I was discovered. Everybody jumped for me at once and, sticking my notes in my shoes, I dived through a sea of legs, slid under a chesterfield, and ran through an outside door to safety. There Wasn't much left of me, but the notes were safe, and so here they are. But please, lNIr. Editor, Iid rather not try to get any more alumni material. I can't understand why our alumni should be terrified at the thought of a poor little under-grad attendingione of their meetings, just for news. Can you? TE ND E

Just as I dived under the chesterfield, Bob Elliot dropped a letter twhich I had overheard him telling a boy earlier in the evening had been sent to him to give to youj and so I picked it up and here it-is. VVhy lXfIr. Editor--Read it quickly. It's from IX'Ir. Boren. Miss Jean Jensen, Alumni Editor, f'Cub Tracks University High School, Oakland, California. Dear Jean: I have written many messages for the f'Cubl' and Cub Tracks , always as principal, This time the experience is unique, for I am writing as an alumnus. Since leaving Oakland my life has been a busy one and not wholly free from trials and tribulations, but I have enjoyed it because it has presented a new challenge to nie. I have had the problem of organizing the finances of the San Mateo Union High School and Junior College Districts. Now I ani facing problems of educational reorganization and development. I like it and I am going to like it more and more as the years go by, but I miss the close, personal, friendly relationships that I had with students and teachers at University High. My life there was rich in friendships, and my big hope now is that faculty and students have for me the same affectionate memory that I have for them. Sincerely, FRANK H. BORFN, june, 'ZS lNIr. Editor, just think! That Hubert Caldwell person was at the meeting. You know he graduated a long time ago, but still he has become very well known since then, .. so it is worth while mentioning him. He went to the Olympic Games as hon orary captain of the California Crew which was the world's champion crew. I wonder what it feels like to be fam- ous, lWr. Editor? Then Fred Reyland was there PIe. was that tall blonde fellow with the peach blossom skin. He, too, has made good. I-Ie is sophomore manager of the California basketball team. From the conversation of' J ack Steinbach, delivered between mouthfuls of cake, I learned that Frank .Iuchter is filling radiators with water on the corner of Grove and University Streets. VVhen not
