The annual meeting was held on the night of March 3 at Blake's Restaurant in Springfield. The arrangement committee, under the direction of Mike Terrini '39 did an excellent job and a very enjoyable time was had by all 75 who attended.

President Dickey came down from Hanover as our guest and was our main speaker for the evening. His interesting speech on "Higher Education's Contribution to our National Security" as well as a briefing on the sidelights and happenings on the Hanover scene and a day of his life as President of the College were thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated by all the members.
