Ctem Fraser, Hogan.Lumber Co. was one of the founders. It was originally supposod to be educational but is now purely gocial, and it is the most important event of its kind in the year. Everybody has a good time, old friendships are renewed, and business is forgotten'

Other committee chairmen for this year's Reveille are: HotelReservations, Jerry Mashek, Hill & Morton, Inc'; Programs, Bob Meyer, Home Lumber & Supply Co-, San Leandro; Publicity, Bitl McCubbin, Cords Lumber Co., San Francisco; and Reclption, Ralph Hill, Hill Lumber and Hardware Co', Albany'
