1948

This month, as we go over the available material for the column, we are overwhelmed by the dearth of information available. It is apparent that fellow '48s are deep in the throes of proving that no recession exists particularly on the basis of their 1957 income tax which has just been worked out and wept over.

Among the few squibs available, we note that Walt Wood is in Personnel with West Virginia Pulp & Paper Co., at Luke, Md., and was on campus in Hanover early in March. Dr. Jim Hudson is Ass't Dean of Boston University School of Medicine. The Dick Barlows have settled at 834 Berkeley Ave., in Trenton, N.J.

Two matters of importance come before the class in short order:

i. The 1958 edition of the Alumni Fund is at hand and deserves your thoughtful attention. Head Money-Getter Russ Carlson promises a record-breaking effort on the part of the Class Agents and the need is as great as ever. So pitch in NOW and get your bigger checks into Hanover.

2. Our BIG TENTH is just one month off. Reports are that this will be the most amazing and exciting conclave ever put together on the Hanover Plain and you won't want to miss it. Better start packing now. We understand that the New York contingent is working overtime to assure an entirely professional program. Tentative schedule is as follows:

Friday, June 13 - 4 P.M.— Open House & Cocktails, Class Tent (we are advised that the Class Tent never closes) 7 P.M. - Buffet Dinner, Hanover Inn 8:30 P.M. - President's Reception 10 P.M. - Entertainment, Class Tent

Sunday, June 15 - 8 A.M. to 10 A.M. - Breakfast, Class Tent 10 A.M. - Bloody Mary Party

Any party that starts on Friday, the 13 th and ends with a Bloody Mary Party absolutely cannot miss. Forget your tensions and complexes and join the milling throng in Hanover next month. Never have so many had an opportunity to relax so much, in such magnificent company, and such inspiring surroundings. Don't let it be said that, you missed the Terrible Tenth of Funloving Forty-Eight. Send in your reservations now. See you there!
