1933

This is our last column until fall due to a change in the publication schedule of the Magazine which will eliminate the July issue and replace it with a September issue. There will be no class notes in September, but there will be complete June reunion reports, as well as a detailed list of planned fall reunions.

Our heartfelt congratulations to Bill Dewey for his election as class president, succeeding George Farrand; to Bud King, who fills Randy Valensi's vacancy on the executive committee; and to the new additional executive committee members, as announced in Bob Fox's recent Newsletter, all of whom will serve until our next reunion in June, 1978. Also, our thanks to BillLang and the other members of the nominating committee and to the executive committee members for their thoughtful and effective ef- forts.

As mentioned in the May column, we are trying another "first" for the 1933 fall reunion by scheduling the get-together after the Penn game on October 11 at the "Vermont Room," Hotel Coolidge, White River Jet., Vt. The Room will De available to 33'ers, plus wives and guests, immediately after the game, offering a special cash bar and a prime rib of beef dinner. Let's make this an outstanding affair as a kick-off under Bill Dewey's presidency. Make your room reservations now, and please let me know at the above address or by telephone (802-649-1924) as soon as your plans are complete. A Hanover reunion weekend is great fun and especially with the added attractions!

As of this writing, the Alumni Fund results continue to be promising both in terms of the $4,000,000-Plus goal and the goal of achieving 60% participation. I am confident that these goals will be reached, and the margin of success may well be contributions received within the next week or ten days, before the end of the campaign. If by chance you haven't given, do so now and please consider adding 10% to your last year's gift to help 1933 reach our unofficial goal of $66,000. Thanks!

Five members of the Class have been singled out for special recognition and honors. Our sincere congratulations to each of them -

Have a good summer and do try to attend the fall-reunion in Hanover on October 11, if distance and your plans make this feasible. In the interim, if you can find time for a letter or card regarding your summer activities, it will be of interest not only to me but to your other classmates.
