At President Jim's first meeting he introduced the new officers and directors, and told the Club about the highlights of
the Detroit International Convention. Delegate Dick Hadley added to Jim's story. At the following meeting Jim Murphy made a very complete report of the Purdue Varsity Glee Club's trip to Washington, France and Germany,
Luxembourg, England and Wales. It was a fine meeting held in the Gridiron Room of the Fowler. An outstanding District Assembly held in Anderson on July
26th with our Governor, Oscar Newquist presiding, was attended by the President, the Secretary, Eth and the new Secretary Irvine Wilson and also Dick Hadley.There were many interesting programs during the first six
months, travel talks about Cuba, Korea, Russia, Germany and Turkey and such subjects as Golf, Radio Operation, Local Street Traffic, Bacteria, and "Gold in Them Thar Hills". George Davis told us of his "M.O." experience
from Norfolk to Halifax and return. Stu Holcomb told what was in store for us in football, and later the Annual Kick-off luncheon was well attended. Kiwanis won from Rotary in the Annual Golf Contest at the Lafayette
Country Club, though we believe Rotary won at the dinner. Governor Oscar Newquist was with us for his Annual visit. New member introductions at several meetings were most interesting. As before, it was a banner day,
the Tippecanoe 4-H Corn Club Meeting, with Charles Ford an award winner fifteen years ago, the speaker. Programs continued for 1951 on such subjects as Japan, Insurance, Abraham Lincoln, Taxes, Push-button Warfare,
Guinea Pigs with Feathers, Pest Control, Banking and Indiana Highway Problems, and The Florist Business. Jim Wiselogel used as his subject "Did You Ever Jump Out of an Airplane?" "Our Own Rotary Day" was the subject of
"Tim" Timberlakes and "Joss" Josselyn' s reminiscences. "The Library in Action" was the subject of one program, and the report was that "Joss" and his cast put on a first class show in which they demonstrated our Wells
Public Library in action. A combined Kiwanis and Rotary Luncheon was held one day in March at the Lincoln Lodge. The 35th Annual Conference of District 225 was held at Rushville with a good attendance, Dave
