Dick Frame has given the Class forty five-by-seven-inch prints he took at the ’2B picnic at Jim Campion’s, which was such a hit with everyone at our 35th reunion last June.

The Class turned in a grand showing in the Alumni Fund drive, with a total of $39,078 from 392 contributors.

We are also grateful to Vera Flanagan, our Memorial Gifts Agent for the past three years, whose diligence secured 19 gifts. We are happy to report that George has consented to act as our Class Agent again next year.
