Honored classes and officers, and the new association heads
June • 1988

During Class Officers Weekend in May the awards for classes of the year and officers of the year were announced. And new officers elected for the coming year were also announced by the various associations.

As honorees the classes of 1934 and 1935 each were multiple winners, though one award was, unfortunately, given posthumously.

Named the top class, out 25 years or more, was 1934. And the 1934 class president, Moe Frankel, who died in February, was named class president of the year. Further, Bill Scherman '34 was honored as newsletter editor of the year.

For the class of 1935 the honorees included R. Putnam Kingsbury as treasurer of the year, and his classmates Alan Brush and John Wallace shared the title of bequest chairman of the year.

Tom Bloomer '53 became class secretary of the year. And named as the mini-reunion chairman of the year was Bob Goldman '83.

Chosen as the other class of the year, less than 25 years out, was 1982, whose president is Michael Donoghue. Honorable mention for class of the year went to '22, '36, '37, '53, '54, '62, '79, and '85.

Newly elected association officers:

The class presidents will be headed by Richard Barker '54, with Bill Bogardus '67 as vice president and Bob Hopkins '51 as representative on the Alumni Council. The class secretaries elected Bruce Jolly '65 as their president, with Mary Donovan '74 vice president and Harry Zlokower '63 as representative on the editorial board of the Alumni Magazine.

The newsletter editors reelected Jonathan Noon '68 as president, with Doug Wise '59 vice president, while the mini-reunion association chose Bud Gedney '48 president and Dave Prewitt '61 vice president.

John Newton '53 was reelected president, with John White '45 vice president, of the bequest and trust association. Victor Smith '45, president, and Sherri Carrol '82, vice president, head the head agents group.

Give a rouse for all these volunteers, who give a little extra, and in many cases a lot extra.
