I the road to recovery.<br />

^ 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 />

"Only one thing puzzled me, Larry, and that is<br />

why do my classmates all look so much older than<br />

I do?<br />

"I'll see you after the Stanford game."<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 />

these suits is one <strong>of</strong> the best waj's he knows to<br />

start decaying the morals <strong>of</strong> a nation which already<br />

is bordering on immorality,<br />
