To give you a brief review of the chapter's activities ... The Fall meeting was held in the new Tap Room of the Burger Brewery which company was an extremely gracious host. Ray Dieringer was kept busy behind the mahogany. Coach John McVay and his staff were

guests. The fall football excusion taught the Board of Directors never - but never schedule such an event on beggar's night. Some alumni attended the game - and saw a winner - the Ohio U game. December took the chapter to the Hudepohl Brewery . . . This company has certainly been most generous to our alumni in the use of their facilities over the past years. According to Dick Finan, editor, Cincinnati Chapter's Newsletter "the free facilities provided go a long way to the success of our organization" . .. A record attendance heard Don Donoher give his impressions of the basketball Flyers ...
