Reza Goharian, Tehran, Iran commented, "Since we will not really have many chances to see industries in this country. I think this program is very good. In fact, I have cut two of my classes to make the trip."
AFTER A FREE lunch served in the company cafeteria, the students began a tour of the plant. David Crown, chemical laboratory manager, Ralph Williams, company safety engineer, and Robert Anderson, assistant advertising manager conducted the tour.
Participants expressed great interest in the tour.

Following the tour Mr. Robert Anderson naked for questions. The foreign students reacted immediately with a barrage of questions ranging from, how many gallons do you produce a day?, to, do you have any factories outside of the United States?

SENIORS!
The Senior Fee system installed last year was so successful (for the mutual benefit of class members and the class organization) that we have decided to continue on the same system. The fee system allows us to plan more efficiently through the year — to do away with deficit financing in all class activities — and makes possible a substantial savings for individual class members.
The 1962 Senior Fee will remain at $10 even though we have added several new benefits for you.
Our fee is a $15 to $17 value to individual seniors and includes a senior sweatshirt and pin, a calendar, several coffees and senior parties, the gift, all graduation activity costs, and all the overhead expenses of the class during our four years involved in postage, printing, supplies, etc.
At the time of University fee payment, you will be given an extra fee card which will include Senior Fees. This card should be filled out, turned into the Business Office at the same time as your University fee card along with an extra check for the $10 cost and they will receipt your payment.
