A sufficient number of replies have
been received by the Eighty-Nine De-
cennial Committee to make it sure that
the reunion will be a large one. The
tone of the replies and the plans of the
reunion assure an enthusiastic and suc-
cessful decennial. What is now most
wanted is word from those who have
not responded anid concerning whom
there is no good reason why they
should not attend. The Committee
must get word right away and it needs
but a few more answers to ensure the
best reunion in the history of the Class.
