1943

Our class walked away with top honors in the Green Derby Alumni Fund competition with five other classes in the decade of the 19405, setting a record in the process.

Classmates working for head agent Fred Stockwell drummed up a total of $139,085; 11.3 percent over the 1987 campaign goal and establishing a new all-time record for classes 44 years after graduation. The old record, $134,443 was held for seven years by the class of 1936.

Our class also topped the field in participation, number of donors who contributed $1,000 or more, and number of matching gifts to the College. The participation percentage was 71.3 percent (311 contributors); there were 40 classmates who donated $1,000 or more; and there were 50 matching gifts in our class during the campaign, 10 more than the next closest class.

Our Green Derby category includes the classes of' 44, '45, '46, '48, and '49. The class of 1947 had its 40th reunion in June and was not included.

Bodie Mosenthal sent us a copy of the American Seniors Golf Association 1986 magazine, which featured no fewer than ten pictures of the organization's president, Frank Hartmann.

The sports complex was built by Dedham, Mass., contractor Phil Jackson. On hand for the dedication were Fred Stockwell, Dr. BobLiming, Bodie Mosenthal, George Graham and Don Taylor.
