We deem it not out of place to thank the
Superintendent of tn e Printing De-
partment for his help, assistance and CO.
operation in lending his help and talents
and services for the betterment of the Circle
at all times. The copies of the Constitution
and Bylaws of the Circle, which he has
Just finished, is work of art, and judging
from the proof for the quarterly meeting pro-
gram and invitations, we can assure the
members of the Circle that it is the best that
has been printed up to the present time, in
the history of the Circle. Such cooperation
and help naturally spurs the Circle as whole
to do their utmost to attain the highest
pinnacle of success. The boys in the print
shop deserve great praise for the excellent
and high class work which they turn out
for the Circle.
P. H. D., Secretary.
