All membersincluding Tom Allan, MontySmith, and yours truly, the secretary,have been very occupied with thefield work of the Kansas oil activity. •The Kansas chapter did have a veryfine meeting at the showing of theMines football pictures and a greatdeal of enthusiasm was shown by allof its members. Those attending thismeeting at President Tom Allan'shouse were all favorably inclined towardgiving the School of Minestheir very wholehearted support inall of its endeavors. Inasmuch as thetotal membership of the Kansas chapteris involved in the geological, promotional,or productional phase of theKansas oil industry, any set time formeetings is impossible as all membersare subject to call for field duty atany time. This, however, does notinterfere with their candid wish forthe success, betterment, and continuedprosperity for their Alma Mater. Theofficers feel that meetings will he calledat opportune times and no set date willbe in order, due to the above conditions.We wish all members of theAlumni Association, however, will feelthat they can call on any of the membersof this chapter and receive thesincere cooperation to any of theirproblems at any time.PRIZE WINNERFebruary, 1940Wm.
