1953
"Everything Is Up To Date In Kansas City" and we aim to bring it up to date right now for all the rest of us. First order of business is to extend sincere greetings to each and all as we resume the '53 corner!
RED LETTER DAY - Chairman Howie Clery and your Executive Committee announce the traditional '53 pow-wow will be in full gear at the Hotel Continental, Cambridge, immediately following the Harvard-Dartmouth football game, Saturday, Oct. 22. Mark the day now and come one and all to this event which is a grand place to bump into all the gang you want to see.
Some would offer a plaque, some would send congratulatory wires, but I think Ted Spiegel and each of his class agents will understand when we just say "Thanks — for another tremendous job accomplished on this year's Alumni Fund Drive." Through their organization efforts and the class's generous and timely contributions, the Class of 1953 once again won the Green Derby competition, outpacing six other classes, and at the same time gave tangible evidence of its deep concern for perpetuating all that is Dartmouth.
