Four months from the time you pick up this MAGAZINE and scan class news will find many of us ready, willing and anxious to shove off for Hanover and make the 30th Reunion (in our 29th year since 1919) another long-to-beremembered milestone in the history of our class.
Rock Hayes has issued a challenge to us and we shall not be found wanting in exceeding our quota for the annual Alumni Fund when we meet and talk with Spidev MaTtiYi s successor on June 18. Class Agent has meant Spider Martin for so long that we are startled to realize that our contributions will head toward Boston instead of New York City. Meeting and passing our quota will give Spider as big a thrill as it will Rock.
Now for that big Reunion Committee that is headed by Class Vice-President Jack McCrillis of Newport, N. H., divided as it is in sections under various chairmen.
Executive—Jack McCrillis, Chairman, Max A. Norton, F. Ray Adams, Roscoe A. Hayes, E. E. Martin, W. C. Batchelder, Red Colwell, and Bob Stecher.
Attendance—Louis Munro, Chairman, New York City; Phil Bird and Robert A. Proctor, Boston; Rabbi Raible, Cleveland; Stan Mauk, Toledo; R. A. Jackson (Fat), New York City; Budd Welsh, New Jersey; Fred Balch, Philadelphia; Chet Gale, Buffalo; Ernie Rautenberg, Detroit; Lefty Farrar, Chicago; Red Washburn, Chicago; Mai Drane, Westchester County; Herb Fleming, Boston; Bill White, Boston; Jim Capps, Utica; Fred Daley, Conn.; Bob Lewis, New Hampshire; Roger Clark, Pittsburgh; Louis Haerle, Indianapolis; Bill Eads, Arkansas.
Publicity—Jim Davis, Chairman, Bill Cunningham, King Cole, and Nick Sandoe.
Finance—Max Norton, Chairman, John Williams, Chet DeMond, Win Batchelder, E. E. (Spider) Martin.
Banquet & Picnic & Party—Bill McCarter, Chairman, Bob Stecher, Jack McCrillis, Ken Huntington, George Rand, Cotty Larmon, Phil Bird, Mai Drane, and Dick Dudensing.
Additional committees are in the making (Costume, Music, Ladies' Vigilante) and will be announced in due course by our Chairman. Jack will also make additional appointments to all Reunion Committees as time goes on.
Can such a committee do anything but succeed in making Reunion a success? The answer is "No" because we all want to go back and we know from past experience that MaxNorton has left no stone unturned in looking out for our comfort and interests. Incidentally, volunteers are asked to send in their names to Jack McCrillis, as he expects to add each willing worker to our Reunion committee.
Where were we? Oh yes—Batch and his committee have done an outstanding job on the class Memorial Fund Gift to the College. Many who have in the past overlooked their opportunity to give have gotten aboard and made the job that much easier for Rock Hayes on the regular Alumni Fund Drive. Windsor C. Batchelder, one of the Alumni Council, is also chairman of the committee which handles class gifts for the entire college.
Class news letters will soon reach you giving up-to-the-minute news about Reunion, class gifts and progress of the Alumni Fund.
