"What I was about to say is that the first thing to do is to write to Mr.William Howgate, secretary of the Gridley High School Athletic Council of the Alumni Association.

Mr.Howgate is out of town.

Does anyone here know his address ?" Fourteen Gridley faces looked blank until Dick at last remarked: "I suppose a letter sent to his address in Gridley would reach him.

It would be forwarded." "Thank goodness for one quick-witted boy in Gridley High School!" uttered Belle.

"Of course a letter would be forwarded." "And there isn't any time to be lost, either," urged Susie.
