1953

Due to higher printing costs, the ALUMNI MAGAZINE is extolling the virtues of concise copy in our column. I know you'll be sorry to hear that I'm no longer allowed to deplore the lack of news or include my rambling ruminations in the column. This doesn't mean that we still aren't in dire need of news every month. I promise not to mention it again, but please, send us some news.

Jim Zeisel has been named Midwest District Manager of two McGraw-Hill publications.

Our little community of Rye added two 53's this past month. Dick McCostis made the move to the suburbs from New York City and Byron Menides moved east from Chicago.

The Commission establishes standards for private home study schools.

I couldn't close this column without commenting on the fine job Jack Newton and his class agents did on the 1967 Alumni Fund Campaign. Our Class won the Green Derby (the seventh win in the past eight years), led all classes in the number of contributors, and established a new class gift total of over $32,000.00.
