Cliff England in Winchester, Mass., anxiously awaits the arrival of the U.S. Mail these days and your checks for the Thirtieth Reunion. The committee made it as easy as possible for you - just sign the check and send it off to Cliff in the stamped envelope provided. The tentative program for Monday, June 13, through Thursday, June 16, promises a wonderful vacation and reunion in Hanover. Hire a baby sitter, bring your mother-in-law in from Peoria, farm the kids out with friends, work around those graduation dates, but be there!
Some of our classmates were reliving the Hanover experience in February by returning for the Freshman Father-Son weekend. The register was signed by Bob Blades, PhilGilbert, Ed Higbee, Dick Morton, RussPage, Dave Putnam, Bob Prentice, AndySchmidt, Ken Wilson and George Young. Unfortunately Ed Higbee came down with some kind of bug and spent the time in the hospital. Reports are that it was a great experience for all the boys, young and not so young.

The Alumni College will be held this summer from August 14 through August 25 and registrations have already been made by some of our associates — Mr. and Mrs. Dick Allen, Mr. andMrs. Gil Balkam, Mr. and Mrs. Pete Fitzherbert, and Mr. and Mrs. Blake Hughes.
