1955
1973 marks the year when most of us are celebrating our 40th birthdays. Two Connecticut Yankees wives, Stess Charbonnier and FranPerry, organized surprise parties for their unsuspecting husbands. Margie Ambrose did the same thing and it was a real blast. To those wives whose husbands are still 39 I heartily commend the idea.
1955 did a first class job in the Alumni Fund Green Derby competition. In competition with five other classes, 1951 and 1956-59, we finished first. Four hundred and twenty one of us gave a total of $38,447. Heartiest congratulations to Pete Thompson and his fine crew of agents. During the last days of the campaign Joe Mathewson and I spent a pleasant evening calling several of you. This activity developed several interesting news items.

All too often modesty forbids class secretaries to make mention in their class notes of their on accomplishments. Fortunately, company public relations peopk have ways of circumventing this modesty.

Harry will be special assistant to Deputy Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Richard Bell.
