Hi How are things in Reading? Is every one excited about the new plaster? The campus here is certainly beautiful and very large. I have a select room- mate from Northern Iowa. My vacation couldn't have been better. Today my roommate and I are going to town to buy spreads and curtains. Ruth, please give hellos to the folks from Zeta Chi for me. Also give my regards to the Sunday School Class. Thanks. Sincerely, Connie
