Class Note 1944
Issue
We are happy to have our president Bill McElnea give us his thoughts on his presidency as we approach our 65th reunion.
“As I wind down the final months as president of this outstanding class I was delighted to receive an invitation from our longstanding and capable class secretaries Helena Burdge and Betty Musser inviting me to write a guest column for this issue of the Alumni Magazine.
“As you read this we will be on the threshold of our 65th ‘grand’ reunion, organized and chaired by Eric and Joan Barradale. The turnout prospects indicate that we may break all previous attendance records. If this turns out to be true we can thank the Barradales, who have been immersed in this for more than two years and have done a simply outstanding job putting all the pieces together.
“My own reactions to my responsibilities as president of the great class of 1944 are ones of satisfaction with and appreciation for the team that has so willingly worked on the assignments I have asked of them. Besides the class secretaries noted above, they are Clint Gardner, vice president; Burt Bickford, treasurer; Ben Jones, head agent; Penn Frost, newsletter editor and Webmaster; and Hope Fead, widows chair.
“I will recommend and present a new slate of class officers to the executive committee for their approval and announce their decision at the reunion.”
Our condolences to the families and friends of Melvin A. Friberg, Charles H. Geer, David H. Merrill, M.D., and James E. Rudnick. Obituaries will follow in another issue.
