1955

In the springtime old oarsmen turn their thoughts toward racing. The greatest race of all is the Henley Royal Regatta. This .race has been conducted every year since 1839 on the Thames River in England by the Stewards of the Henley Royal Regatta. Pep Perry has the signal honor of being the first non-Briton ever to be named for service in that group. Pep has been actively involved in rowing since his schoolboy days. His Kent School crews have raced at Henley five times and won the Princess Elizabeth Cup in 1972.

Ward Rowley has recently been promoted to vice president of marketing for Allied Chemical International. Ward will be responsible for marketing the entire product line of the company internationally. He has been involved with international marketing ever since graduation with W. R. Grace, Esso, and Allied. He lived in various Caribbean countries for ten years. Another denizen of the Caribbean, Eric Bergstrom, is still running the Tortuga Club, Ltd. in Grand Cayman. His wife Nana writes that a head of lettuce costs $1.19 down there. The Bergstrom family, including their five children, operate the resort.

Donald Perry passed away on February 1 after suffering from cancer. More complete information will be included in a later issue of this magazine.

'55 is doing very well in the Alumni Fund campaign at this writing. Hope you will all support our class effort and help win the Green Derby. Have a good summer.
