Class Note 1954
Issue
Nov - Dec 2015
Shelly Woolf and Dick Page and the class of ’54 made College history by breaking through the 80-percent participation barrier for the second year in a row. By attaining 83-percent participation the class of ’54 retained its ranking for participation. The class of ’54 also exceeded its goal of $325,000 by raising $352,060, the second highest amount ever raised for a 61st reunion year. In 1923 the College completed Memorial Field and its stands as a center for its recreational activities. It also serves as a memorial to the 3,407 students and alumni who answered the call of their country and the 112 who gave their lives during World War I. This year Memorial Field has undergone renovations to transform it into a modern, comfortable stadium. The class of ’54 has stepped forward with a contribution of $1,000 for this purpose. Steve Mullins was in Russia for the World Masters swimming meet, where he took a silver and two bronze medals in the 80-84 group. Ron Dougherty was interviewed in Canton, Ohio, for his distinguished legal career and his long-time involvement with the Football Hall of Fame. www.youtube.com/watch?v=guzt3e8YLG4#t=15.
