PAGE FOUR Penn State's Alumni. Aisociation The Beginning Of A Very Interesting Story Of Very Great Importance . . . If You're The Type To Read It What are thepictures on these pages? They are the Alumni Association of the College. What do you mean by that? I see a football team, Old Main, an elephant in India, a boxer, and a commencement grodp. Do you mean to tell me that is an alumni associa tion ? That is exactly what I mean to tell you. An alumni association is not a desk in Old Main and a set of files. Alumni are people, aren't they? Would you suggest that they should mean nothing more than a desk and a set of files? Not by a long shot, they don't. The files are merely the record of the people, the best' way we humans knows how to keep track of all that they represent so that we can grasp it easily. No, when you join an alumni association, you don't join a file. You join people who are doing things. Writing today's headlines just as you will write tomorrow's. Adventuring. Making laws. Helping to rush America's defense. Teaching. Study ing. Working. Playing. You have started out in the same mold with the people who are shown here. You don't want to lose it ever . that's why you want to join an Alumni Association. your college doesn't mean anything to you . . . well, you wouldn't have read this. Boxing Sports of`all kinds are Penn State's, boxing among them. Above is Nestor Kociubinsky, 175-pound star of 1937, a team mate of Billy Soose, who will fight for the middleweight title of the world May 7. Football Is Part Of Penn State, Too Just as important a part of Penn State as any other is Penn State's football, a major attraction for the alumni back on campus each fall and a great opportunity for the old boys who can't make it to do their fireside cheering. Penn State's football is getting better and better and it has - "a stiff schedule ahead of it. But don't forget, it has a great record and six All-Americans - behind it. WHY JOIN THE ALUMNI ?
