Class Note 1947

Recalling our freshman year, we were just out of high school and unused to the idea of going to school in the summer either in uniform or as civilians. In the fall, when Daylight Saving Time was maintained the year around, winter came early with snow from before Thanksgiving until March. Spring brought the now-departed duckboards on the campus to avoid the mud and slush on the paths.


Thanks to head agent Frank Weber, in the 2011 College Fund the class exceeded the goal of $100,000 by pledging $126,774 from 60 percent of our surviving members (125 vs. 138 donors in 2010).


Publication of obituaries in our newsletter as well as the College website enables us to publish more promptly than in conjunction with the Alumni Magazine. The sympathy of the class is offered to the families of recently deceased classmates: Robert Bohn, April 23; David Ehrlich, March 13; Norman Friedlander, June 2; Edward Matthews, M.D, March 17; and Jerry Reed, June 8.


Keep in touch.
