1946 Reports a Good Time
REUNION was a great success. Although we didn't win any prizes for attendance, we had a good turnout and everyone appeared to have a grand time. It was great to see the many old and new faces. Some were slightly heavier, a few grayer and others were losing some hair but on the whole everyone was in good shape.
The business meeting was held Saturday afternoon and after the completion of new and old business, new class officers and a new Executive Committee were elected.
Reg Pierce is the new Secretary-Chairman and will take over this column in the fall. Bob Kimball is to be Treasurer for the next five years. The following men were elected to the Executive Committee: Don Alvarez Jim O'NeilAud Brindley Charlie ReardonChip Coleman Jim ShuteJoe Donahue Walt SnickenbergerCharlie Duncan Phil StedfastTom Gillaugh Hank SternsJud Hannigan Nick VorysBob Hunt Art YoungJack Navascone
Andy Murtha was made Reunion Chairman for our 10th. It was felt by the Executive Com- mittee that it was none too early to get started with plans for that affair. The Committee also discussed the problem of class dues and you will hear more about that in the fall. After all bills have been paid for Reunion expenses, we should at least have enough to get us under way this next year.
X feel confident that the Class is on the way to bigger things in the years to come. We have an Executive Committee that is willing to work and three capable men in the most important jobs. Their success, however, is dependent on your cooperation. It's a big class and everyone has a part to play; make sure you do your share if called on.
Jack and Ruth Howard had a son Robert John who made his appearance on April 27. Jack and Sue Underhill had their third daughter, Wendy also in April.

ill JUUUISVJ.IIC, ivy.Bob Hunt has been grinding out Newsletters like sausages of late so I have little or nothing left. There is one bit, I'd like to include, however, before I make my swan song. My engagement to Dorothy Jane Manss of Wilmington, Delaware, was announced on June 30. No date for the wedding has been set. As of July 2, I will be holding down the fort in West Chester, Pa., as Director of the Chester County Planning Board.
This is my last column. It has been a wonderful job and I have enjoyed it. I know RegPierce will do a very fine job and I know too that you'll give him a hand.
That does it. I'll be looking forward to seeing you all at our 10th in 1956!
