1956

Once again it's fall. It's time for catching up on football games, cocktail parties, and lost friends. Before we turn to this, however, pause and realize that the class exceeded its dollar goal in the Alumni Fund, made a gain in its average gift level and welcomes the new contributors to the list. However, it is discouraging to note that the over-all number of contributors in the Class of 1956 does not compare favorably with our surrounding classes. As the Fund groups its statistics, our participation index is the lowest in our group of classes. I hope that next year everyone will realize the importance of a contribution even if other demands hold down the dollar amount.

Mort Galina sent a note in June giving his new home address as 4415-B North Shallowford Road, Chamblee, Ga.

Bruce attended Tuck School following college and has been active in every phase of the business previous to his election as president.

Len Clark has been elected a vice president of J. Walter Thompson Company in their New York office. Len's contribution to the class does not need outlining and is a continuingone. At Thompson's he is currently a supervisor on the Lever Brothers Account. Len and Lee live at 19 Norman Road, Upper Montclair, N. J., with Shelley, eight, and Scott, six.

Hope everyone will make it to at least one Green game this fall and that you will send the news this way.
