• EUensburg
(Wash.)
The EUensburg Alumni Club of 4> A 6, held a most
excellent Founders Day banquet at Websters Cafe on
Monday night, March 15. We had 25 brothers in attendance,
including E. K. Brown, Iowa '04, who received
his Golden Legion Certificate at our 1952 banquet.
Among the missing were Carl Andresen, Vermont '40,
who was busy with his duties as EUensburg City Manager,
and our old friend, Hal Holmes, Whitman '23,
United States Representative from the State of Washington
who makes his home here when not busy with his
Congressional duties.
Credit for the good turnout should go to President Jim
Rice, and to Robert Schnebly and Stan Mataya, Vice-
President and Treasurer. This year we did not have a
speaker but were quite fortunate in being able to secure
movies of the 1954 Shrine, East-West football game.
Our next meeting is scheduled to be held on Thursday
night, June 10, at which time we hope to be able to
grab Brother "Slats" Gill from the coaches clinic to be
held at our Central Washington College of Education,
June 10, II, and 12. Arrangements for this meeting are
being left to an old schoolmate of Slats, Gene Rapp,
Oregon State '28.
We feel that we are one ot the strongest and most
active alumni clubs in the State of Washington and in
order to prove it would like to invite any and all traveling
Phis to stop if only for a minute to say heUo while
passing through our area STAN THOMAS, Secretary.
