Since then the Association has steadily grown until the membership now number about seven hundred. These members are new scattered throughout nearly every state in the union and Cana-da. The per- eentage of active membership is comparatively small considering the large number that have graduated, and the work that has been done so far has been left to a few interested members. The present officers of the Alumni Association are anxious to have a large active membership so that it may become a strong organization and work in eo-operation with the School, Station, and Faculty. It has been the aim of the organization, for the past few years, to create a fund to help needy students. In or-der to carry out this, it becomes the duty of each graduate to pay l1is membership fee. As a tribute to your Alma Mater what could be more appropriate than to 1361'- petuate a fund that will in the future help some worthy student in getting an educa- tion? Vile, the members of the Alumni Association, regret that hir. Selvig, our present Superintendent is leaving the Northwest School. He has seen the Association grow from a membership of sixteen to its present size. He has always been our willing and helpful leader, and an inspiration to us all. Much as we regret to have him leave, the best wishes of the Association go with him in his new field of service. HARRY HEDIN, ,11, President N. W. S. A. A. A. Forty-three
