1942
This is a final pleasant task before departing for Class Officers' weekend and is undertaken duringa heavy spring snowfall — not unexpected in this area, but nevertheless not welcomed, either. No '42"'s have been snowed in, as the following items indicate plenty of get-up and go.

This final paragraph is as current as material can be - it was written between sessions during Class Officers weekend at Hanover. Your officers and executive committee have been busy with class affairs - item: Planning ahead in anticipation of a tremendous Twenty-Fifth Reunion and its many important implications to the Class and to the College. Lest you become concerned that this has been an all-business weekend, Kikiand Ad Winship most graciously entertained the '42 contingent in their lovely colonial home. It has been thoroughly enjoyable for Bettie and me to share this weekend with them and with Al Britton, Gaby and Ira Berman, Charlie Brown, Bob Kirk, Maggie and Krete Kreter, Ruthie and Bob Strasenburgh, Nancy and Guy Swenson, Dick Lippman and Dick Baldwin - all of whom represented the Class. In spite of 25 intervening years, these gentlemen appear to have stepped right out of the Little Green Book! This weekend has been heart-warming and inspiring. Alumni support for the College is stronger than ever and growing steadily.
