1942

Ever since the class of 1942 copped the Green Derby honors in the last Alumni Fund drive, Class Agent Dick Lippman has been planning his campaign for 1954. He wants all of the current assistant class agents who did such a bang-up job this past year to carry on again. But in addition Dick is looking for another twenty men to add to the assistant class agent ranks in preparation for defending our newly acquired Green Derby laurels. Besides crediting the efforts of the assistant class agents with a big part in the winning performance, Dick puts in a strong plug for the cumulative performances of past members of the class agents' team, particularly his immediate predecessor, hardhittin' Ad Winship.
