105 men in the class contributed $5048.03 to the Alumni Fund. The contributors, sparked by Art Lewis who did another good job as chairman, have reason to be proud of this excellent record.

The 40th reunion of the class will be held on the weekend of June 18-19-20. This is one week after Commencement. Only the oldest classes and the 25-year class meet during Commencement week. All other classes scheduled for reunions under the new reunion plan, will hold reunions at the same time we do. Art Rotch, the sage of Milford, has agreed to act as reunion chairman.

Park Stickney with a passion for anonymity, is the editor, publisher, business manager and news staff of the "Forty and '08er," the first number of which was received by men in the class a few weeks ago.

The large family of Rosie Hinman was gathered together for the last two weeks in June, an annual family custom of the Hinmans.

A year ago Stacey Irish and his family went into a joint ownership arrangement of a duplex in Evanston with his oldest daughter and her husband who have two sons.

Art Wyman, Poet Laureate, printer and farmer, during the summer slept at his home in Swampscott on Monday and Tuesday nights of each week and at his farm near Milford, N. H. the other five nights.

He stopped bragging long enough in July to accept the job as President of the Graphic Arts Institute of New England.
