secretary of the association.
Mr.. Jackson is manager of the

siderable experience along organi-
Eat on lines. In speaking of the
! drive this morning he said: I'VE
believe that every graduate of the
harrisburg High School will be a
member of the II. FL. S. Alumni As
sociation eventually. 1t is our idea
in holding the drive to gradually do
away with eventualities and simul-
taneously increase the membership
at a rapid rate. Details of the drive
| nave not yet been worked out but
they Will be announced shortly We
VIII extend the campaign to all cor
ners of the earth if necessary to
reach alumni. l think that a large
number of local alumni have really
intended to join the association who
/ nave not yet made application be-
cause of neglect. Others have been
waiting to see If the newly-founded
| organization will be successful.
The organization has been a de-
clded success so far, with most of its
activities along social lines, but this
has been merely to advertise it and
to get things going We intend to
make the association one which
Harrisburg will point to with pride
because of its civic welfare work"
Announcement was also made this
morning that Dean Hoffman, n local
! newspaper man. has consented to be
judge of the prize slogan contest.
