The passing of this summer has brought with it a steady accumulation of class news but not as many announcements of engagements and marriages as might be expected. From all reports, most of us were able to have a few vacation this summer, but we are all back at work now, including your secretary.
Early last month you received a newsletter, the first to be edited by George Ferrarese, announcing the regional class organization which has recently been set up. The New England group offers the first definite plans, with a gathering scheduled after the DartmouthHarvard football game on the 22nd of October at the Hotel Copley in Boston. The committee has made plans for a large turnout, so make your fall plans include the game and social activities following. Exact information including time, location, refreshments and tax will be mailed to all classmates at a later date.
