1957

As the column resumes, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who gave to the Alumni Fund. The Class outdid itself this time, contributing a total of $31,385, to beat the goal of $30,000. The prime mover behind this achievement is Head Class Agent George Southwick who, with his hard-working team of classmates, has brought to the College a total of $59,263 during the past two Fund drives. George an accountant with Arthur Young & Company in Boston, has recently taken on the responsibility of cultivating all of his company's small business clients and it is certainly understandable that he is now stepping down as head class agent. Dick Canton will pick up the ball and you can be sure that Dick will run with it. Congratulations. George for a job well done!

Social Chairman Don White has been busy planning Class get-togethers for the football season. Dick Canton will again organize a pregame tailgate party for the Harvard game in Cambridge on October 27. Rumor has it that Dave Cook and a nucleus of the Indian chiefs will serenade the assembled classmates. For the Yake game in Hanover on November 3, a block of rooms has been reserved at the Lake Morey Club where, incidentally, the Yale football team will be staving. Full details on both affairs will be mailed to you shortly.

Two classmates have recently been elected to important positions in the College's alumni affairs. Joe Stevenson has been elected to a one vear term as president of the Dartmouth Alumni Council, the body which runs the affairs of the College's 36,000 alumni.
