1950
By now most of you sharp-eyed 50's have detected the new point from which these monthly mutterings emanate and will have deduced that living in the hometown of The Reader's Digest has caused us to abbreviate our comments. Unfortunately, that is not the only reason - news just has been scarce. Between now and fall, we hope things will pick up.
Around New York there are several conclaves in action or planned that should interest a goodly number of you. The monthly Downtowners meet each second Wednesday of the month and in the past have often found our class very well represented. There is a new affair starting in the midtown New York area at the Dartmouth Club and 42nd Streeters might look into that. Also, Chuck Gardner and his cohorts are planning a dinner for June 20 in Manhattan. Besides seeing your long lost roomie or the guy who fudged math homework with you, you might help organize future get-togethers, so make an effort to attend if you possibly can.
