From the Alumni Office;<br />
The funeral <strong>of</strong> FR. MIKE MULaVIRE brought<br />
a great many alumni to the campus, not only<br />
classmates and coniemponines but many younger<br />
men he knew- and influenced as a teacher, confessor<br />
and vice-president <strong>of</strong> <strong>Notre</strong> <strong>Dame</strong>. May<br />
God grant eternal rest to him and to HARRY<br />
SCOTT <strong>of</strong> Indianapolis, wlio followed him on<br />

BILL ANDRES from Mexico writes that he has<br />
not seen JIM LO<strong>GA</strong>N since graduation but had<br />
seen )[ORRI£ STARRETT a couple <strong>of</strong> times.<br />
EDDIE McOSKER and ELMER TOBIN looked<br />
just like Old St. Joe Hallers with themselves and<br />
the surroundings ver>- much more "dressed up"<br />
(picture taken in basement <strong>of</strong> Morris Inn). Mem*<br />
ories <strong>of</strong> BROTHER FLO and the old "Rcc Room"<br />
<strong>of</strong> HOWARD PARKER at the piano while JOHN<br />
CONBOY danced. Of the hot games at the pool<br />
tabic. Of digging the grave <strong>of</strong> St. Joe Hall — to<br />
put wiugs on It and rcchristen it Badin. Of "bun"<br />
carts — waiting on tables — UGH! — what goo-y<br />
chicken floating in sticky yellow gra\'>'! Of all the<br />
ihings wc used to gripe about and now cherish as<br />
•happy memories. Big DUTCH BERG.M.\N'S picture<br />
brought back the time Fr. ED FINNE<strong>GA</strong>N, the<br />
prefect <strong>of</strong> Corby Hall, picked a football team to<br />
play "Dutch's" team in his home town, Peru, Ind.<br />
Onij' 3 few memories remain <strong>of</strong> this game — one<br />
<strong>of</strong> which is the wrong way I went about protecting<br />
a bad knee instead <strong>of</strong> tucking it under me. Also the<br />
lincbacking <strong>of</strong> CARLETON BEH — who certainly<br />
that day \s-as a Sam Huff bom 40 years too<br />
soon. CY DEGREE was just coming up and sprouting<br />
as a punter. His first punt that day went sideways<br />
— so far the game was delayed 10 or more<br />
minutes so they could get the ball back. If I remember<br />
correctly he could kick close to 90 ^-ards<br />
on the fly. We thank Bill for his letter and hope<br />
that you'll write also.<br />
ERNIE "STUFFS"' BURKE made his 5th trip<br />
to Europe — staying In the .•\ustrian .-Mps. Never<br />
heard if he got there — or if he is back — would<br />
appreciate a card from my old roommate.<br />
COMMANDER CAhh, your president, is a<br />
grand fellow and I bear from him and wish that<br />
you guys would write Charlie, as he will pass on<br />
the dope to me and I in turn will have something<br />
to write the ALUMNUS. Any keyhole news about<br />
yourself or classmate — as to any addition to family,<br />
etc. — now that's grandchildren I mean but<br />
please write — write to JOHN F. LAUGHLIN,<br />
Mg. Ed., ALUMNUS. If you kno«- or kn«*- JIM<br />
ARMSTRONG, .Mumni Secretary, write Jim a note<br />
— we u*ant you to know that wc appreciate hearing<br />
from YOU and about YOU. CHARLIE CALL<br />
writes that he took <strong>of</strong>f for Bastille Day in France<br />
— stopping <strong>of</strong>f at Germany, .Austria, England and<br />
Spain — while the Mrs. takes <strong>of</strong>f for New Mexico<br />
with oldest granddaughter to \'isit her sister. The<br />
Commander sent me his school photo album. If<br />
you'd like to "look sec" at Ole Timers' pictures let<br />
us know. BILL BRADBURY is looking 'cm over<br />
now. Understand Call is selling his Hasbrouck<br />
Heights, N.J., home and making his Winter Haven,<br />
Fla., home his permanent abode. Believe you'll find<br />
Charlie a lot more around 1W7 Biltmorc Driv^,<br />
judging from what he writes "Tlie European trip<br />
was fun enough but 1 ran into a heat wave and<br />
came home radicr hurriedly, it was just as hot m<br />
X.J. so I didn't help myself much. Going over ".ve<br />
*\'cnt via Goose Bay, Labrador, and shot across from<br />
there to France in five and one-half hours. Coming<br />
home wc stopped at the .Azores briefly. The Bavarian<br />
Alps seem alwa>-s to thrill me — but after <strong>22</strong><br />
crossings wonder if I shouldn't hang up the shoes."<br />
Hey — did you know that LEONARD M. CALL<br />
class <strong>of</strong> '20 is the Commander's brother?<br />
Sorrv to report that my neiglibor — <strong>Notre</strong> <strong>Dame</strong><br />
man. Class '27 — >L\TrHE\V J. CULLEN, LLB<br />
— husband <strong>of</strong> LaVeme, fatlier <strong>of</strong> Judith Ellen<br />

HOWARD V. PHALIN '28 became president<br />
<strong>of</strong> Field Enterprises Educational Corp.<br />
on Oct. 1. The company is the largest<br />
educational publishing concern in the<br />
fvorld and one <strong>of</strong> the "Top 500'' corporations.<br />
In 30 years Howie has held every<br />
executive position in the firm, and as<br />
executive vice-pres. for the past seven<br />
years pushed 87 <strong>of</strong>fices and 50,000 sales<br />
personnel to an annual volume over $100<br />
million. An advisor <strong>of</strong> ND and other<br />
universities, he heads several civic,<br />
religious and charitable organizations,<br />
including a $9 million hospital drive<br />
in Chicago, plus businesses in the<br />
suburbs. Last year he was honored as<br />
a Man <strong>of</strong> the Year by the ND Club <strong>of</strong><br />
Chicago and the Illinois Catholic Women's<br />
Club. Residents <strong>of</strong> Evanston, 111.,<br />
Howie and his wife arc donors <strong>of</strong> the<br />
most striking piece <strong>of</strong> art on the<br />
Northern Indiana landscape, the magnificent<br />
nine-story marble mosaic mural<br />
adorning the south facade <strong>of</strong> the ND<br />
Memorial Library and depicting Christ<br />
the Teacher surrounded by saintly<br />
leaders and scholars <strong>of</strong> all the ages.<br />
prayers and Masses when they learn <strong>of</strong> this sad<br />
news.<br />
Hope to hear from LEO COOK, LLB. Sent him<br />
group pictures; trust he finds 'cm interesting.<br />
Saw BILL GRADY this spring at ND. He looks<br />
great and feels fine. From the regularity with<br />
which Bill returns to the campus one ^vould imagine<br />
that CarroUton, Tex., is within walking distance.<br />
Another real nice ND man.<br />
Have not heard from Att'y G. E. HARBERT —<br />
kinda expected a card from him from Arizona,<br />
where he and the Mrs. \-acationed. Pleased to report<br />
that FR. GEO. HOLDERTTH, CSC is looking<br />
great.<br />
MAX G. KA2US I'll wipe <strong>of</strong>f my list if he<br />
doesn't come through with a letter telling <strong>of</strong> the<br />
"Stunts" he was in while at school. If Max doesn't<br />
I might make up some about him.<br />
Quoting from TO.M KING'S letter addressed to<br />
Call; "Wc (Mrs. K.) were fortunate in that we<br />
were over most <strong>of</strong> the Far East that is available to<br />
travelers except Korea and India. We were particularly<br />
intrigued by Japan; the Philippine Islands,<br />
primarily Northern Luzon; Singapore, Bangkok and<br />
Hong Kong. Wc stopped in Saigon but thc>* did not<br />
let us out <strong>of</strong> the airport. Wc did not enjoy Taiwan.<br />
I think because the people there seemed so ver>'<br />
unhappy. May see you sometime this winter in<br />
Florida." Tom retires in 1966.<br />
I know that I should have contacted Judge<br />
VINCENT a GIBLLN if only \-ia phone — but that<br />
Hibiscus Isle, Miami Beach, address was just too<br />
high tone for my blood and really scared me <strong>of</strong>f.<br />
Had I kno^vn that CHARLIE BACHMAN is at<br />
Pompano Beach I would have called him and that's<br />
for sure. \Vhett west last year, stopped in and J<br />
called on CARLETON BEH; he marked up my list^<br />
and told me to be sure to call on Judge<br />
VINCE GIBLIN. MARK CULLEN, ALLEN \\\<br />
FRITZSCHE, THOM.AS D. MOTT JR.. JOHN L.<br />
REUSS and FREDERICK J. SLACKFORD — tWsh<br />
I had some news about these guys and hope that<br />
next issue I will be able to report some news about<br />
'em and others on the 1918 roster. Missing any word<br />
from JAMES P. (JIM) LO<strong>GA</strong>N. Hope that he is<br />
feeling fine and keeping in touch with JAMES F.<br />
HANLON, who should perhaps be looking fonvartl<br />
to hzinsins in a train load to see ND's new winning<br />
football team.<br />
Wondering if JOHN A. LEMMER Is putting in<br />
as much time fooling around golf as he did in the^<br />
past — or has his second trip to the altar changed"<br />
things?<br />
Seen '"BIG FRANK" RYDZEWSKL He is fine —<br />
putting la a full day's work at his <strong>of</strong>fice playin.^<br />
pinochle — this keeps him olf his sore "dogs.*"<br />
Next time I see Frank gotta ask him about Judge<br />
EDWIN T. BREE.V.<br />
Hope that PETER J. RONCHETTI Is back on<br />
his golf game and has overcome his eye trouble.<br />
Perhaps Pete will drop us a note.<br />
Really I should keep closer touch with quarter<br />
miler JOHN J. VOELKERS. He doesn't live far<br />
from 3303; if I had his phone number I \\*ouId give<br />
him a ring.<br />
Trur, LEO J. VOGEL is a '17er, but us track<br />
men have got to stick together and I appreciate^<br />
hearing from him and learning where In the world<br />
he is and has been.<br />
No word from Doc NEIL J. WHALEN. Wondering<br />
how he and the Mrs. enjoyed their West<br />
Indies cruise.<br />
FR. CHARLES J. WILLIAMS should "bust" in<br />
on the Commander now that they are permanently<br />
there — as I know that he is most welcome b>-<br />
Charlie and the Mrs. They have his room "at thr<br />
ready" at all times.<br />
Still looking for a campus stor>' from LOUIS E.<br />
WAGNER. Personally had a very nice surprise this<br />
summer. Remember when World War I broke? —<br />
The cry was for you to loan your >"acht to the US<br />
for a sub chaser? Mr. Armstrong, Armstrong Bros.<br />
Tool Co., had a boat built according to Naval<br />
spedficatlon' and donated boat SP-960 and crew,<br />
comprised <strong>of</strong> six fellows: Paul, Horace (Skipper)^<br />
John Armstrong, H. Blum, R. Maize and GBW."<br />
All reported and stayed at the Skipper's cottage<br />
at Harbor Springs, Mich. Ever>'one enjoying good<br />
health, as were the five wives. It was the first<br />
meeting in 47 years, ever>'onc having a great time<br />
and hoping that the Skipper invites us back for<br />
the 50tn reunion.<br />
JAMES L. SWEENEY was at ND this June. He<br />
stopped <strong>of</strong>f and saw SHER>VOOD DIXON. Should<br />
h^ve a note from Sweeney to have his report on<br />
his campus visit and also about the pictures that<br />
were sent him.<br />
MORRIE STARRETT could only enjoy one day<br />
on the campus as he had to leave "for my stepmother's<br />
funeral and calm a much worried wife."<br />
Morrie did attend the Monogram Dinner and hac^<br />
his picture taken with the football coach. He aUiV<br />
sat with us, FRED STEERS and "RED" MILLER<br />
at dinner. Miles was also in the picture but I<br />
could not send him a copy as I do not have his address.<br />
Please see that I get it.<br />
Took picture <strong>of</strong> the Square Petunia Corp. directors<br />
at the Morris Inn: JOHN V. Mc-MANMON<br />
(chairman). JOHN MILLER, FRANK RYDZEW-<br />
SKI, BILL GRADY, JOHN FREDERICK and<br />
JOHN SAUNDERS. McManmon had the Monogram<br />
men in stitches about his square petunia<br />
and I mean real belly laughs plus tears, with hi<br />
phone call to LBJ, who had to remind him tha<br />
Ladybird %**a5 on the other end. John was great<br />
and those that knew him stated he was that wawhile<br />
on the campus. I would like to send a pic-^<br />
ture <strong>of</strong> his directors. He gave me his card, bu^<br />
I don't think that Uncle Sam will mail to hi<br />
phone number only without a cit>' or slate. Missin<br />
JOHN SAUNDERS' address also.<br />
Remember, please, 1918'ers, as wc get older -<br />
word from and about you is that much mot<br />
appreciated. So you drop a note now or have yoi'<br />
wife or grandchild send a word to: JIM ARN;<br />
