1947

As you read this, it should be early or mid-April, with only two months to go before '47's big 25th. We know that the reunion committee is getting all the mail and thus that Class Newsletter editor, Doug Burch is getting all the juicy tidbits. We therefore are not the least bit concerned that our mailbag is light, as we know there is much going on in the class. However, we do have a few items of current news.

William B. Enright, of San Diego, Calif., has recently been appointed to the Calif, judicial counsel by the Board of Governors of the State Bar of Calif, for a two year term commencing February 1. Bill received his law degree from Loyola University. In 1965 he served as president of the San Diego Bar Assn. and between 1967 and 1970 was a member of the State Bar Board of Governors. Bill is a member of the American College of Trial Lawyers.

Congratulations to another president, AlBildner, recently elected president of the N. J. Food Council. Al is still in the super market business and is president of Kings Super Markets of Irvington, N. J. Incidentally, we hope Al's son limmy who is a freshman at Dartmouth is well on the way to recovering from a rather serious "wipeout" on the slopes.

Mystery Letter: received without return address or any signature other than noted below. We quote:

Fear not the Twenty Fifth will swing.

A record vote we'll see in spring.

I send a message with a prank.

Forward it to Weber, Frank.

"Once upon an apod, Near the bigger dipper seen.

Letters three that look alike, Are bad unless they're colored green."

Sincerely, El. Gringo Grande (2nd Class) Shows what reunion fever will do.

This is not an advertising column but one's own son we trust a plug will be excused. Richard Kirsch and two upper classmates of his at Brown University are taking ten, 12-14 year old boys on a rugged cross-country trip camping out every night, hiking and mountain climbing in the less crowded National parks. We've read the brochure and the itinerary and only wish that we could go along. For anybody who has a son or friend who might be interested, write to Richard Kirsch, P.O. Box 2125, Brown Station, Providence, R. I.

The information we're about to mention will be well outdated by now and hopefully surpassed. However, as of February 17, 1947's giving in its 25th Reunion year was almost $26,000 or just a few thousand dollars short of the total giving as of June 30 for last year. Our objective in our 25th year is $100,000, and this is certainly a magnificent start. Obviously, $75,000 is a long way to go, but with only 10% of the class having given 25% of the goal, it looks like we should be able to do it with everyone's help. Which brings us back to Reunion again. At this point nobody needs to be reminded that June 15, 16 and 17, and 18 will be your first, last and only opportunity to participate in a glorious four days of fun, fellowship, and remembrance. Undoubtedly, there are many reasons that everybody can find that make it difficult to attend, but they certainly seem worth overcoming. There doesn't seem to be anybody that we've ever met from the classes of '46, '45, or '44 that didn't feel that their attendance at their 25th was a memorable experience, and one to cherish in the years ahead. If you have not yet sent in your reservation, do so, and be part of that wonderful four-day reunion, only two months away.
