1928

In recognition of our record breaking performance this year, as a class, in contributions to the Alumni Fund, Allen V. Collins '53, chairman, and Henry E. Eberhardt, director of the Fund, have presented a Special Citation of Outstanding Achievement to Ed Flanders. This was read to the head agents at the awards banquet, September 22, during the Alumni Fund weekend. This was a proud moment for the class and for Ed the Needier without whose constant prodding it seems highly unlikely we would have done it.

Our president reports, with evident relief, that Jack Zellers has agreed to become assistant class treasurer. (No prod required, we think, for this public-spirited character.) He will start helping to take the load off Doc Simonds after returning from a cruise on a four-master. His plans call for a flight to the Canary Islands on October 9, sailing from there to St. Thomas and home by air in late October. Jack should be home safely by the time this is in print, undoubtedly to the great relief of Doc. The whole escapade sounds horrendously hazardous to this landlubber who even considers that flying should be avoided as an unnatural mode of travel for mankind. Back to the sedan chair!

Curly Prosser has been appointed by a ramp committee under Henry Eberhardt concerning memorial gifts to the College. As one stimulus to such gifts more space will be sought from the Alumni Magazine for obits of accomplished alumni.

A Campaigner with details of the minireunion should have reached you by now. It may have been our smallest, with 15 attending dinner at two tables in the library of the Norwich Inn, but was as pleasurable as ever, the mood only slightly dampened by the narrow loss of the game to Princeton. Herb Sensenig's arrangements, as usual, were flawless.

The class should have been well represented at Dartmouth Night and the Yale game. Thirteen members and spouses were planning to be there including, in addition to those living in or near Hanover, Racheland Jerry Sass, Marion and GeorgeDavis, and Mutt Jennings.

Happily, we have no deaths to report at this writing.
