ALUMNUS RETURNS
D ear Jim:
R ece ived my copy of the " Alumnu s" the other day, and it wa nice
to hear of so many of the boy tha t
I went to the U. with. However there
were several names such as Tom Hoban, Ed Connors. Phil Grime , H enry
Dexter, Bill O'Connor, D a n Hobb ,
etc. that I missed . I often remember
them a nd wonder what ha ppened to
them. Then there was Cha rley Dugan too.
It was reall y a treat to visit the
campus last month and see a ll the old
prof again, although there were one
or two faces tha t I missed . I've been
wondering what ha ppened to Brother
Fra nk O'Reill y a nd F ather L eimkuhler. It eemed almost like old times
to see Brother Paul holding forth at
the same old stand in the Arcade,
and to get to talk things over again

I think though tha t I spent the rest
of the time in the milita ry department with Sgt. Southall reminiscing
about the times when I proved to be
the bane of more than one profe sor's
life.
I was very pleasantly urprised to
read in D ayton papers that Pa ul Zehrung a nd ·walt H aberer were wearing
silver oak leave now. Why, it ha rdl y
seems pos ible tha t it was only two
years ago tha t they were First Lieu-
tena nt . And M a rty Hillenbra nd, little did I think tha t the boy who knew
all the answers almost a soon as the
prof could a k the questions would
be one day supplying a ll the a nswers
in the American diploma tic ervice.
Come to think of it, though, that
would be right down his alley.
I'm hoping for an appointment
to the Postal Officers' Candidate
School , but ince, as some one has
a ptly rema rked, "there' many a slip
' twixt the cup a nd the lip", I'm not
holding my breath until I get it.
Well it' almost time for lights out
so I'll sign off for now. M y be t to
