1947

A strong turnout was expected for the meeting of the Class Executive Committee scheduled May 5 in Hanover. The newsletter will have reports shortly.

Regular readers of the Squaw-ker have already seen the results of the work of the nominating committee. Nominated for the 1947 Class Executive Committee for the coming period between reunions are: Allen Bildner, Jesse Chadwell, Hugh Chapin, George Dalphin, Norm Fink, John Fuller, Townes Harris, Joe Kurey, Bob Snedaker,Ralph Warburton, and Bill Wood. It is pleasant to see the mailbags full. Reunion publicity supplements the Squawker's claims that the Fabulous Fifteenth, with the classes of 1946 and 1948 also in attendance, will be an occasion not one of us will want to miss. You probably made your plans weeks ago, but if that is not the case, make them now. Be in Hanover for the weekend of June 15 to 17.
