1933

As we write this on a November Sunday, we read that our "Native Americans" have eked out a victory, creaming Princeton 19-18 to avoid the Ivy cellar. Moderate praise be! Oh for a HeavenlyGates, a Bob McLeod or an Al Marsters! The director of stewardship has reported that our 1933 Scholarship Fund has grown from its initial $5,675.00 to $22,044.92, with $990.31 made available for aid in the school year. Remember that the fund offers a worthy and appealing beneficiary for generous class donors.

Via Ralph Keyes' Medical School news column and a personal chat, we learn that Ralph Alexander, retired 14 years from his radiology practice, having in '95 lost his wife, June, had remarried and with his wife, Muriel, divides his activity between New York City and Rochester. He spends much time in photography and they devote great attention to archaeology, with annual visits to Greece to enjoy study missions in and from Nauplion. Ralph also varied x-ray analysis with a 10-year term as president of the Rochester chapter of the American Institute of Archaeology.

When we phoned Keyes, a long-time Washington State medico, we found him brimming with energy and planning to take off for Hawaii for a Thanksgiving celebration with wife Mary Anne, five children and their families. We'd like to see that gang of Walla Wallans disporting themselves on the sands of Waikiki! Aloha!
