K.M.Eddy(49-53)gave up his B.Sc. course at Natal University in order to enter the Methodist Ministry. He has now had two terms at the Theological College at Rhodes, studying Greek, exegesis, exposition and the usual courses demanded. He finds the experience most satisfying. B. S. Ellis (30-34) is trade representative for Mobbs Shoes in Durban. We understand that his gay and cavalier method of attack has made him an out standing salesman.
