The Superintendent express­ed his appreciation of the loyal support and coop­eration of the Alumni distributed throughout the United States and urged upon each member pres­ent the necessity of getting in touch with the alumni in his immediate community. Resolutions were adopted extending a vote of thanks to the Board of Regents of the New Mexico Military Institute for the excellent luncheon; to the Roswell Chapter of the Association for the most enjoyable evening at the Country Club; and to Secretary-Treasurer Jaffa Miller for his efficient work during the past year. There being no further business the meeting was adjourned. ALUMNI DUES At the June, 1929 meeting, the Alumni Association unanimously passed a resolution to assess all members $2 per year for dues. It is urged that all ex-cadets send in their dues promptly, for these funds are badly needed to pay for the Alumni Rifle and to take care of other expenses of the Association during Commencement. It is felt that heretofore the lack of Alumni dues has worked a con­siderable hardship upon the local chapter of the Aluirmi Association. The dues of $2 do not include subscrip­tions to the Maverick or the Pup Tent.
