1958
The Labor Day weekend has passed marking the end of another summer and signaling the beginning of the fall term at Hanover. We wish Coach Crouthamel and the Big Green the best of luck on the coming season. The summer's highpoint was our 15th Reunion which was covered in the July issue. It was great seeing so many classmates and renewing old friendships. It makes one look forward to our 20th. The entire class should be very proud of our outstanding financial contribution to the Alumni Fund.
Although the summer is normally a slow time, it has not slowed our many accomplishments. Hobart D. VanDeusen, who lives in Westport, Conn, with his wife and son, has been named vice president of Chemical Bank. Hobart was formerly a senior trust officer and will be given increased responsibility in the Bank's trust and investment business as a result of his promotion. Hobart has been with Chemical since 1958 and has advanced through the positions of assistant trust officer, trust officer and senior trust officer. Among his responsibilities, he now heads the Estate Departmentment of Chemical.
