Guests of the company were told hat approximately 40,000 local and 2,000 long distance calls are landled daily through the ex- jhange, the bulk of the jatter business coming in the early evening hours. No emergency, such as a occured during the. hours of nspection, bul those present were impressed with the speed at which the operators functioned. humorously on his early experiences at Rogers and Columbia Law School, expressed the belief that the Alumni Association, together with many other Rogers graduates, could organize and raise a 55,000 fund for the school through a dance in the near future.

He referred to Rogers High School when it was on Church street, with about 200 students, and a faculty of eight or -ine teachers. Justice Baker believed that the graduates of today compared favorably with those of other years, due to the fine facully. Dean Walsh felt the first duty of the graduates was to provide jobs for those coming out of Rogers. He could see no need greater than this, and felt that it was not the duty of Washington but of each and every community to look out for its own. The dean of boys also deplored having to go to the local service clubs and beg funds to send delegates lo the scholastic press conference at Columbia.

He thought the Alumni Association could well aid in cases of Ibis kind. Superinlendent Lowe felt Ihere were many Ihings in which thi graduates aid, and as an instance, the cafeteria system at Rogers, which he did not think to be of the best. He said tha public opinion is formed in the homes and in meetings like this, and there is much to be done for the schools. Headmaster Johnstone told of the satisfaclion he had in seeing former Rogers students advance in the world, and praised the banquet committee for its efforts. Toastmaster Greene was high in his praise for Rogers, and doubted if another high school in the state could count a supreme court justice, two superior court justices and "a handful of mayors" among its graduates.
