1957

While we are in the midst of the football season, why not take a chance to talk about the reunion when you see classmates at the games. An early glimpse of the reunion shows registration about noon on Friday and a brunch about noon on Sunday. For the 48 hours in between: discussions of Dartmouth, Alumni Dinner, Glee Club, concerts, play, Alumni Dance, tent gatherings, picnics, tours of the Campus (a lot has happened in 15 years), class banquet, cocktail party, and yes, there will still be time for shopping, golf, tennis or whatever.... Now is the time to be starting your plans.

It is with regret that I inform the Class of the death of Gerald SokoXec, truly a loyal classmate. Gerry passed away on August 25, 1970 just before his 35th birthday and after a long illness, lasting over 3½ years. During this time he showed extreme courage and dignity. He was active in sales and management as vice president of Wilmar Printing Corporation in Chicago for over eleven years. He continued his loyalty to Dartmouth and the Class by serving as midwest class agent chairman and as recruiting and interviewing chairman of high school applicants to Dartmouth from Chicago's south side and southern suburbs.

The Class extends sincere sympathy to Gerry's parents, and to his brothers Ronald and twin Cary, also a member of the class.
