Put 3. cross opposite the 13th of June on your calendar, Percy, and swear to yourself by all you hold sacred that you will be on hand. Since leaving college, Percy Kuttroff has been connected with the export and import commission business and now holds the position of treasurer in a local concern. The name of the concern he does not give, but we know we can find it by calling at 8 Bridge Street. He is a Republican, opposed to Woman Suffrage and in favor of a Protective Tariff. He writes that he likes outdoor sports of all kinds, chiefly tennis, sailing and shooting. His reading has been confined to a few novels. As to traveling, we judge that when he went where he went, it was well to go there. We are glad he's not there now, as Percy has answered with the one word Mexico. Percy intends to continue his present occupation as his life work.
