B.G.E., and has had two years in George Washington Law School. He will be located in New York City.

Mr. Samuel Ostrolenk, an assistant patent examiner, resigned May 31, 1925. Mr. Ostrolenk, who was appointed July 18, 1921, from New York, has been examining Class 178, Picture Transmission over wire, in Division 16. He is a graduate of Lehigh University with the degree of E.E., and of George Washington University with the degree of LL.B. He is also a member of the Bar of the District of Columbia. Mr. Ostrolenk is leaving to go with the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, of Pittsburg, Pa.

Principal Examiner W. N. Holmes was given the degree of D.Sc., by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta, Georgia, May 21, at the annual commencement.

A Half Century in the Office.

Henry P. Huntemann, Associate Examiner in Div. 29, on April 26, 1925 completed his first fifty years service in the Patent Office, he having been appointed on April 26, 1875 from Cincinnati, Ohio.

Mr. Huntemann is still going strong and assures us that the first fifty years is the hardest. He is to be congratulated upon his record in having rendered a half century of continuous service to the Government.

In the first flight Pitt was winner, Seymour runner up; second flight, Norton winner, Paterson runner up. The above was the fifth consecutive Spring Golf Tournament, and it was completed May 29.

It is observed that Pitt has made a sensational record, he having played some of the notables of local clubs. He was runner up in The Town and Country Club tournament and was paired with Roland Mackenzie at Indian Springs.

A suggestion has been offered by Mr. L. D. Underwood that a series of matches be arranged between players of the Patent Office Society and attorneys of the local Patent Bar. Mr. W. C. Brown of Div. 2 will receive communications from any one interested and arrange details for the proposed matches.

Tennis Matches.

Tennis activities of the Patent Office Society are now in full swing. Encouraged by its first successful effort to win the League championship as part of the last year's Commerce-Interior Team, the Patent Office decided to enter 1925 with a team of its own. The Departmental Tennis League Matches afford ten of the most eager enthusiasts, a weekly opportunity to meet players from the other Government Departments and tennis of a high caliber frequently develops.

Naturally competition for a place among the ten players is keen and many challenge matches cause frequent changes in the team personnel. Devotees of the game, whether old members or newcomers on the corps, will find ready opportunity to test their skill if they but see Mr. Max Tucker in Division 33.

Those enthusiasts who are not quite fortunate enough to make the first ten are looking forward to the annual Patent Office tournament held late in the summer of each year. It is safe to say that few, if any, activities in the Office are more potent factors in creating a wide circle of lasting friendships and a consequent upbuilding of esprit de corps.
