^ From JOE SMIETANKA, attorney in Chicago:<br />
'^'I can see what I missed by not attending a reunion<br />
before the 35th. It was wonderful seeing<br />
so many <strong>of</strong> ray old friends again. The one thing<br />
that impressed me was the variety <strong>of</strong> callings that<br />
our Class has follo^ved. I don't suppose there are<br />
many catesories open — particularly when you<br />
coosider that a younger grad is shooting for a<br />
job in government.<br />
''My wife came with me to South Bend. That<br />
put me in the guided tour business for part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
weekend. I suppose that I spent more time in the<br />
library than I did in my four years on the campus.<br />
"I am looking forward to *69. By that time we<br />
will probably be considered superannuated old<br />
timers given to discussing Rock, Chapin Street, the<br />
^Palais Ro>-aIc, HuHy and ifike's, Afothcr*s, the<br />
Army games and those golf-bag luggers from you<br />
know where.<br />
"How times have changed!"<br />
JUDGE SAM COLARUSSO <strong>of</strong> Essex County<br />
(X.J.) District Court writes: "As you know I<br />
have been fortunate enough to make all <strong>of</strong> the<br />
reunions to date and trust tliat I will, God willing,<br />
sec you and the boys in '69, In fact I had<br />
planned a trip to Europe for this summer, but<br />
when I learned it was either the trip or the reunion<br />
I cancelled the trip to Europe.<br />
"It would take more space than uc have to<br />
repeat even a part <strong>of</strong> our conversations under<br />
Lyons Archway. I'll j'ust say that it was one <strong>of</strong><br />
."^he best groups that ever assembled for one <strong>of</strong><br />
•''our reunions. Many were returning for their first<br />
time in years and it was inicrcsting to Icam <strong>of</strong><br />
their whereabouts and progress during the past 35<br />
years or less since 1929.<br />
"I missed seeing BILL KREIG. LEO MICHUDA<br />
and DOC LEONELLL<br />
"My wife asks that I %mte that all wives<br />
should encourage their husbands to return for the<br />
reunions. She thinks that it gives the boys renewed<br />
faith and reminds them to live and act like Our<br />
Lady would want them to Hve.<br />
"Each time I have brought a guest wlio was<br />
not a <strong>Notre</strong> <strong>Dame</strong> man (this time Anthony J,<br />
lulianai). I am sure that after a «-eekend on the<br />
campus in the company <strong>of</strong> our classmates under<br />
the Golden Dome they return with a feeling that<br />
they have missed somctliing and wish they could<br />
have been fortunate as we were to have attended<br />
i^^.'^olrc <strong>Dame</strong>.<br />
"Larr^% my friends who did not attend may be<br />
interested in learning that last year Governor<br />
Hughes honored me by appointing me to the Essex<br />
County Bench."<br />
Congratulations, Sam, and thanks for your fine<br />
letter. I am one who was here and didn't hear<br />
<strong>of</strong> your appointment. You are too modest.<br />
HARVEY DALY <strong>of</strong> Washington, D.C., has these<br />
comments on the reunion: "It was a real treat<br />
to see you again after some 33 years.<br />
" 'How it felt to be back' isn't easy to describe.<br />
Hour do I ansxvcr your query, Larr>'? Do I comment<br />
on the <strong>Notre</strong> <strong>Dame</strong> <strong>of</strong> '29 or on the <strong>Notre</strong><br />
<strong>Dame</strong> <strong>of</strong> 'frl?<br />
"The place I knew and loved 35 years ago is gone,<br />
^'t<strong>of</strong> course, the buildings <strong>of</strong> that era are there, but<br />
•^hey are symbols <strong>of</strong> a past that lives only in one's<br />
memory'.<br />
"The <strong>Notre</strong> <strong>Dame</strong> <strong>of</strong> '29 gave me a love <strong>of</strong> God<br />
and Country, an unswerving appreciation <strong>of</strong> my<br />
faith, and a deep and continuing interest in intellectual<br />
development and truth.<br />
"The <strong>Notre</strong> <strong>Dame</strong> <strong>of</strong> *64 gives me a respect and<br />
admiration for her leadership, faculty, programs,<br />
curricula and student accomplishments.<br />
"I hope the above is somewhat helpful to you,<br />
Larry.<br />
"JIM CURRY and I toured Badin Hall, visited<br />
our old rooms and relived many nostalgic capers.<br />
LARRY MOORE and I visited FATHER LANGE<br />
and made a grand tour <strong>of</strong> the library and buildings.<br />
"It was a rare treat for me to see JIM CURRY,<br />

HINKEL, DICK HAUGH, JIM TOBIN, JOE<br />

"Only one thing puzzled me, Larry, and that is<br />
why do my classmates all look so much older than<br />
I do?<br />

DR. PAUL C. BARTHOLO.MEW wns chairman<br />
<strong>of</strong> a panel on "The Choice <strong>of</strong> Federal and State<br />
Judges'* at an early fall meeting <strong>of</strong> the American<br />
Political Science Assn. in Chicago. If you were<br />
alert in ^^•atching the TV screen during the Republican<br />
Convention you saw and recognized Paul<br />
on the stage, where he was parliamentarian for<br />
some <strong>of</strong> the sessions.<br />
NORM McLEOD writes: "The several mailings<br />
prior to our 35th reunion sold me on the idea<br />
<strong>of</strong> revisiting familiar places and faces. It ^^'as<br />
really a memorable occasion for me to see so many<br />
men return for the 35th to renew old friendships.<br />
This being my first reunion since 1929 probably<br />
handicapped me in recognizing many <strong>of</strong> the men;<br />
however, this handicap was short-lived. TONY<br />
KOPECKY hasn't lost any ground with his appealing<br />
songs. I missed seeing two <strong>of</strong> the Florida<br />
flashes however.<br />
*'Hopc to return on the occasion <strong>of</strong> the 40th anniversary!"<br />

condemned the topless bathing suit (in<br />
a newspaper letter) for the effect it has on the<br />
morals <strong>of</strong> young people and children who also have<br />

start decaying the morals <strong>of</strong> a nation which already<br />
is bordering on immorality,<br />
