Seek Information on Lost Alumni The University of D ayton Alumni Association is a very active and swiftly moving body. With the migration of alumni through their contributions to the war effort, some of which was civilian, a nd most of which was military in nature, many of our a lumni h ave become lost from our mailing list. We don't like this, and in order to keep all of our alumni informed as to activities, and to keep them posted on the latest bits of news, the editor is making an effort to trace all of our "missing," some of which. are listed below. The rest will follow next month.

The "missing" are listed with the last known city of residence, which according to the Post Office is . not correct. If you find any of your friends listed, and you know their correct address, won't you please h elp ? Just send it to us, eith er on a post-card or by phone, if that is possible. - Thanks a lot.
