Si hat has been done during the w«-«-ks intervening since the bond drive? A committee was. as you know, chosen to act with the Stu­ dent Council in safeguarding and managing the planning and building <>f the gymnasium.

The results of the lH>nd deliveries have been very gratifying nevertheless. Bond- holders have proved not only willing but anxious to exchange their tens for the attractive bonds. If any b • idh Jders tire of waiting fora collector they may send payment by any responsible student and the b<>nd will l>e delivered immediately.
