Our Tenth looks great at this point—
will look even better June 14-17 in Ithaca
—and will be a fond and happy memory
for more than 200 of us in about a month
from now.
Class leaders Boffa, Cashen, Bass Campbell,
Vant, McCormick, Black, and Weiss
met in New York over a month ago to firm
up final Reunion plans, some details of
which you have probably received in the
mail by now. Shortly thereafter, an initial
50 reservations, ranging from Karen Anderson,
Asher, Banta, Beckwith, and Boland,
to Wishengrad and Wright, rolled in. Late
counts 30 days ago indicate that there will
be at least 200 men and women of '57 on
campus in June. Jack McCormick and
Addie (Russell) Vant are Reunion chairmen.
The schedule calls for the traditional
tents (in the new main quad area location),
faculty forums, dinners, cocktail parties,
reception for coaches, and a cook-out, plus
a special* '57 class-faculty forum and class
golf tournament. Get your reservations in
immediately to Tony Cashen, c/o A. G.
Becker & Co., 60 Broad St., New York;
Jack McCormick, c/o Boyle-Midway, 685
Third Ave., N.Y., or Addie Vant, 21 Yarmouth
Rd., Rowayton, Conn.
That is, by the way, a new address for
Jack. He joined Boyle-Midway, a division
of American Home Products Corp., in December.
He is the new products, product
manager in household products. Jack plans
to move back into the city as soon as possible.
Colin Campbell has been selected for inclusion
in the 1967 edition of Outstanding
Young Men of America. Publication date
this year's book is May 15. Approximately
10,000 young men of "outstanding rank"
have been selected for inclusion in the
volume.
A note from Charlie Rothmann, who is
handling the Cornell Fund program in this
area, reminds me of the importance of that
program. Send in your pledge—and join us
in Ithaca June 14 to check the results.

Just one more month until our big 10th
Reunion—hardly seems possible that that
many years have passed, but they have, and
the Reunion committee hopes that you are
planning to return to Cornell on June 15-17
for the big blast. One of the nicest changes
they have made is that our entire class will
be housed as a unit in University Halls #2,
giving us unity, as well as the opportunity
to get together with classmates during the
hours when no other activities are planned.
We will use the main social lounge in the
basement of "our" dorm for informal
brunch on Saturday and Sunday morning.
By now you have all received information
in the mail about the wonderful activities
the Reunion chairmen, Jack McCormick
and Addie Russell Vant, have planned, as
well as the fine events and lectures which
the university offers during Reunion. An
additional event of importance is that a
constitution will be presented at the class
meeting for the combined class of 1957.
The combining of the men's and women's
classes into a single organization is now
being worked out by the class officers.
Addie has supplied me with a partial list
of those who have indicated that they will
return to Reunion. I'm sure that many of
you who have already sent in your names
ought to be included, but cannot be, due
to the early deadline for this column. Those
who will attend (bringing their wives and
husbands along), are: Jo Field Bleakley,
Vivian Feldman Peck, Lydia Ebel Anderson
and husband Bill, Dave Melvin, Sani Bookbinder,
Chuck Knight, Ann Phillips Drechsel,
and husband Andy, Jack McCormick,
Elaine Meisnere Bass, Sue DeRosay Henninger,
and husband Joe '56, Steve Laden,
Shirley Besemer Itin and husband Tom,
Genie Alexander Helitzer, Tony Cashin, and
wife Ann (McLeod) '59, Betty Quinn Lewis,
Linda Wellman Stansfield and husband Jim,
Tom Keating, Adelaide Russell Vant and
husband Ed, Mike Linehan, Colin Campbell,
Rod Beckwith, Bob Black, Lois Peterson
Blair and husband Charles, Michelle
Striker Boffa and husband Bob, Betty Ann
Rice Keane, Steve Weiss, Phil Kneen.
In addition to those who have definitely
told Addie and Jack they would attend, and
are listed above, several women mentioned
in news they sent in that they were planning
to be there. Among these are Judy Richter
Levy, Eddi Carroll Skoog, Louise Sarkin
Leaf, Sue Westin Pew and husband Dick
'56, Betty Starr King, Marilyn Way Merryweather
and husband Tom '56. With so
many classmates living in the New York-
New Jersey-Connecticut area, and many in
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, Delaware,
and Maryland, I'm sure there are many
more of you who are planning to go to
Reunion. I just received a letter from Olga
Duntuch Krell, who lives in Sao Paulo,
Brasil, and she is now planning a trip to
the US so she can make it to our 10th.
If there is a prize for coming the farthest
distance, I'm sure she will win it, but you
never know what far-flung classmates will
include Reunion in their vacation plans—
maybe Sue Hitz Magnuson in Tokyo, or
Shari Flynn Bump in Germany? Or Pat
Hunter Beck in New Zealand, Or even those
of us in Texas, Arizona, California, etc.
I wouldn't be too surprised if Jo Ann Eastburn
Cyprus came from El Paso, Texas, or
Marilyn Hester Ridgly from Portland, Ore.
In case I can't wangle that trip back east
for the Learner family (which I am working
on), I hope Dave Nye will be there from
Maryland to get all the Reunion news firsthand
and write it up for the class column.
All in all, there will be a great many
classmates there, with terrific activities
planned and everyone is bound to have a
wonderful time. Ten years!! Have we
changed? Come to Cornell June 15-17 and
see! Don't forget those pictures of the children!

Prominent in our news this month js a
change in the class officers. Recently, Linda
Hansman Hanson submitted her resignation
as class secretary, and this position has
been filled by Bernice Goodman Henderson,
our erstwhile treasurer, and grand compositor
of the terrific class newsletter which we
have received in the past few weeks. Connie
Case Haggard takes over as Bernice's
successor in the office of "minder of the
money." And speaking of money, an urgent
request accompanied the newsletter . . .
that for your five-dollar annual dues. If you
have not already sent your check, will you
please do so as soon as possible. Checks
should be made payable to "Class of '58

Norma to submit volumes of news when she
renews her subscription to the NEWS) wrote
to say that she is now director of residences

She lives at 10 Country Rd., Albany.

Would you believe that this column will
contain news that goes back to Christmas
cards? Pat Lasky Rathmann (wife of
Daniel P. '56), Box 1109, Ogden Dunes,
Portage, Ind., sent a wonderful letter of
gleanings from Christmas cards which I
will simply quote.
