1928
All of you are to be congratulated for a historic achievement - contributing $106,322 to the Alumni Fund in our 45th Reunion year! The amount exceeded last year's by 249% and was more than double the old record for a 45th reunion class. Class Agent George Emery turned in a magnificent performance, ably assisted by President Jack Kenerson and a great team of assistant agents.
After six years as Class Agent, George is going to take a rest and Bill Lary of Sunapee, N.H., has agreed to take on the job. Bill has served several years as an assistant agent. He retired in December 1971 after having worked for Texaco since graduation.

Frank and Anne Hankins missed Reunion because they were on a "bare boat charter" from the British island of Tortola in the Virgin Islands. Their son Tim '62 was with them. Tim is doing research under a grant from the National Science Foundation and has been doing something in connection with this research at the huge radiotelescope at Arecibo in Puerto Rico.
You vacationers let me down - I'm sure more than three of you visited Europe, but the only reports are from Jack and Cornie Herpel, who toured southern England, Herm and MargueriteSchnepel who had sparkling weather on their literary tour of England, and Roy Myers who said Scandinavia was frightly expensive. Roy was making a special language study. You already speak French, Spanish and German how many more?
Dave and Alice McCathie had an auto accident August 7 in which Alice took the brunt - multiple rib fractures, concussions, cuts and bruises and was in intensive care for 17 days.
