1957

By the time you read this month's column, the Big Tenth will be less than 30 days away. From early indications, the turnout should be large. Don't wait until 1972 for the Fifteenth Reunion. Plan to be in Hanover this June 16, 17, and 18. Live it up. The Reunion planning committee has a great weekend scheduled. Don't miss it.

However, before leaving for Hanover next month, double check to see if you've made the Alumni Fund roster this very important year. If Joe Stevenson's blitz missed you or you missed the blitz, post your check now. This is the year for 100% participation. We're off to a good start but we'll have to have a strong finish to meet our goals. Help make this year the best on record for '57.
