It is a great pleasure for me to announce in this month's column that Bill Miles will be our new Class Secretary. His interests in the College, the Class, and in people are deep. His location in Boston, his travels internationally as a banker, and his enthusiasm for this job will all hold him in good stead. In spite of my remarks in this column last month, I know we are not a silent class. I hope you'll help prove this by keeping Bill well supplied with cards, letters, and pictures of your activities.
