ALUMNI APPEAL ISSUED.
Alumni Assn of College Asks Mem
bers to Contribute $500 Yearly

The Alumni association of Alma
college has issued the following form
letter which is to be sent to all of
the alumni of the school,
Dear Friend
This is necessarily a form letter;
it is none the less personal one.
At the meeting of the Alumni as
ISOLATION in June last, several ex-
pressed the idea that the Alumni need
ed a more efficient organization to do
effective work for the college. To this
end the constitution was changed by
making the governing body of the as
ISOLATION consist of a board of seven
directors and substituting annual
gifts for the old dues.
That the Alumni should be con
tributng more to the permanence of
the college was plainly the keynote of
the meeting. In harmony with this
came the announcement that the Glass
of 1914 had started fund to be known
and designated as the Alumni Endow-
ment Fund of Alma college.
Establish Tradition of Yearly Gifts
The sum contributed was not large,
$500 each, but the aim is TO make the
contributions annual, and to establish
a tradition among graduates and old
students of giving, if possible, $500 a
year to the endowment fund.
We have i'm the college office the
names and addresses of about 1900
of Alma's Alumni and old students.
II is easy to compute what $500 for
each of these would add to the endow-
ment fund every year. An alumnus
remarked last commencement: give
dollars from one of us will mean 500
and perhaps $1,000 from someone
else"
Most of our Alma people give to
many praiseworthy objects, but is there
any to which we would more willing
ly contribute than to our college?
Alma, in a very real sense, belongs to
her children. And shall we not this
year begin to include her in the list
of our benefactions Enclosed Is a
form card for this purpose
Gifts should be made payable not
later than June LIST, 1919, that re-
port may be made at commencement.
If cards are sent to James +. Mitchell,
OF just TO the college, they will be for
warded at once to the treasurer and
acknowledgement made.
Sincerely yours.
Stanley A. Graves, Treasurer.
James +. Mitchell, President.
If every member responds to this
call it will mean IA permanent fund OF
about 81 500 pear and possibly more.
The officers of the association are:
President, j. f. Mitchell; Vice presi-
dent, Sadie Messenger; Treasurer, 5.
A. Graves; Directors, Ella Bittner, A.
j. Van Page, X. p. Crooks and j. f..
Weber.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Alma high was defeated by Grand
Rapids union, at Grand Rapids, Fri
day evening, by the overwhelming
score of SO to 10. Smith starred for
the local team but he had very little
support. Captain Perry was not taken
on the trip and this may be the cause
of the one sided score to some extent.
Just why Perry was not included on
this trip is not known. The general
opinion among the students is that it
was just case OF favoritism and
personal spite.

CROWN PRINCE BATTERS
FRENCH LINE AT VERDUN
Berlin Reports. Gain of Nile and
Three-Quarters and Twelve
Hundred Prisoners.

Berlin announced officially Friday
that the Germany army under the
Crown Prince has driven the French
from their position il front of Yer
dun, capturing twelve hundred pris-
oners and eighteen machine guns.
The Germans stormed the French
trench at Four de Paris, and made a
gain of mile and three-quarters.
It has been apparent for some time
that the German forces in the west
were contemplating serious drive
on Verdun. According to Lieut.. Col.
Roussett, military critic Of the Petite
Parisien the furious German attacks
in the Argonne by an entire army
corps will be repeated, with the OBJ
ject Of breaking the French line at
that place in the hope of reaching
Verdun. This expert asserts thai re-
peated checks have not discouraged
the Germans and declares that they
will continue their efforts to gain
control Of, and to dominate this hilly
forest region, which many call the
"Thermopylae of France" Almost
all of the French experts, including
Lieut.. Col. Roussett, agree that the
French forces have made such pre-
parations as will insure the failure
of the efforts.
Paris reported Thursday the de-
feat of forty thousand troops under
the Crown Prince who had attempt
ed to cut his way through the French
lines. He failed in similar attempt
last Sertember, which Frenchmen say
was one of the chief contributing
causes of Won Kluck's defeat on the
Marne.
