Saving...
the shirt sleeves were two inches unnecessary. As for my shorts, they hang down to my knees like the conservative 1890 bathing suits. However, apart from the fit, the clothing is very good. It is excellent quality and durable. Shortly after our arrival several boys came up and introduced themselves. Among them were, Rickert of Bankers Life in D.M, Lyle Roberts of Tecumseh, Nebr, Hartzell of Albia, Ia, Bob Hayes, a Sig Chi from Iowa U, B. Runyon of Omaha, Carey, a brother Phi Psi from K.U. (we exchanged grips, huzzah!) and several others. There seem to be some pretty good gents around here. And oh yes, I ran into Pete Moeller of Detroit who was a fellow law student at Iowa last year. After supper Ken and I drove over to town and saw "Sundown," a just-fair movie.
