As this column is being written, the annual informal class reunion is being held in Hanover for the Holy Cross game. The Class executive committee met during the morning and I would hope to have follow-up report next month of the major matters that Frank Ettari and his associates considered.

Don Furber reports that a very high percentage of the Class has supported the Memorial Book Fund by making a special payment along with the class dues. As you know, the bills for the current year's dues are in hand and your officers hope that you will continue to support this very important project. If all goes well, we should be able to fund our obligation in full within the next several years.

Jim O'Neil, our class agent, and his willing co-workers throughout the country, are to be congratulated for having raised 100% of our dollar objective in the annual Alumni Fund Campaign which concluded in the late spring. 478 members of the Class contributed to the fund for 62.5% of our present membership. Hopefully, as we approach our 25th Reunion in 1971, our percentage of participation will increase substantially.
