I’ll have to be admittin’
that you really should
have written
But I hear you have a
compensation
That will spell for me
vacation.
So if you’ll just send
this letter,
I’ll understand much better.

Dear Dad:
Hold on a minute Dad. Don't throw this letter away
yet. I am NOT asking for money!
Because this time all I want you to do is have a
good time—and on me. Remember all the special
favors you have done for me? Dad, I appreciated all
of those favors. Appreciated them more than you
know. But it was your pocketbook that provided them.
Now, well Dad, maybe this isn't much, but it is my
turn to show you a good time. And I can. Come to
Eugene on Saturday, February 15, for our Annual
Dad's Day.
Yes, Dad's Day. It's for you—you alone. We've
got a special commttiee rushing plans to make this
your "big" day of the year.
Here are some of the events scheduled. Look them
over.
1. Our Dad's annual meeting. You'll want to be
on hand for this, of course.
2. Special Dad's luncheon.
3. Oregon-Idaho basketball game.
4. Living organization's open house.
5. Stage play, "I Remember Mama."
I could go on, Dad, but studies and the Side (our
special reference room) beckon me.
Come down Dad—it's my treat—for you, the best
Dad a student could have.
Hopefully yours,
..J
