HELP INVITED TO
BUILD EXES FILES
Hardin-Simmons University, found-
ed in 1891, today has an estimated 20,-
000 alumni and ex-students. Of this
number, the alumni association, in the
H - SU administration building, has
current, correct addresses of only ap-
proximately 3,500. This figure can
and should be much larger. You can
help by doing your bit. Just send in
names and addresses of exes in your
vicinity to Harry H. Hayes, alumni
secretary, at H-SU. And the sending
of names of prospective students to
H-SU, to Mr. Hayes, is in order, too.
