1927
Each year the Class of 1927 appropriates funds for magazines, books, and similar expenses at Dick's House. Richard Drew Hall, in whose memory the hospital student facilities were given by his'parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. K. Hall, was a member of our class.
At the fall reunion the Class voted to add the unexpended balance of $324.87 of Endowment Income to the principal so that the Fund now totals $7,815.31 as we continue toward our goal of $10,000.00. Last year memorial gifts of $765 were received. Larry Scammon is handling the fund and would appreciate contributions.
