1935
Many was the classmate who, on reading the casualty list of the Capitol Airlines plane which crashed in Virginia January 18, was shocked to find the name of Duane "Bud"Steinle. "Bud," who was sales manager of the Lucas Division of the New Britain Machine Corp., was on a business trip when he and all of his fellow travelers were killed in the tragic crash. "Bud" leaves his wife, Virginia, three sons, and a daughter, as well as his mother and father, all of whom made their homes in New Britain, Conn. His good friend Bob Naramore is writing a piece about "Bud" which will appear in the obituary columns of this or a subsequent MAGAZINE.

Specht says things are shaping up for a fine, lusty 25th, and that he will have more details for us to pass along to you in next month's column.
Meanwhile, the subject of our 25 Year Gift to the College has been studied carefully by your Executive Committee, as well as by a special committee which met in New York in mid-January at the call of Class Chairman Bankart, and it has been decided by unanimous agreement of everyone approached to combine our 25 Year Gift with the Alumni Fund this year, and thus have one solicitation for this important class gift to the College. The objectives and details of the program will be worked out by Head Class Agent Ted Harbaugh and Class Memorial Chairman Ted Steele, who, with the help of their aides, will be getting in touch with all of you soon.
