1933

Although the class held no formal mini-reunion, several members of '33 were circulating in Hanover on the Lafayette weekend. Jack Masten drove up from Rye, met Mary Jo and BobMcDonald and, after visiting with Chilant and Manny Sprague at the football game, had dinner together in Lyme. The trio also had lunch with Ray Theriault and Nancy Elliott. So, there was a class present in the sacred precincts. The football team added to the gaiety by squeezing out a victory in overtime.

Melanie Norten, director of stewardship, reports that the Class of 1933 Scholarship Fund, whose book value was $5,675, on June 30, 1998, the close of the fiscal year, had a market value of $21,020.12. (As of Aug. 31—$18,987).

Months ago, we had a welcome card from Rick Bradshaw, then tooling about, visiting relatives in the White Mountains. He loved receiving the printout of the 65th Reunion memorial service.

Worthy of record is the fascinating interview with Bud Madden's daughter, Patricia, some time ago sent to us, which appeared in a North Carolina paper and which detailed her remarkable career as a dancer, actress, opera singer in Holland, Belgium, and Czechoslovakia, and current painter. Her skills included singing Gypsy Rose Lee in Gypsy and creating Ra Ku pottery. Bud had musical talents, and his wife, Anne, a Powers model, was a one-time actress. It is fitting that their daughter should have had such a wide-ranging calling.
