Four 1·eunions wel'e held. Mem­ be1·s of the classes of 1925 through 1938 met at the Hllton Hotel Ball­ !'oom where they talked and remi­ nisced and danced to the music of Burl Hubbard's orchestra. Classes '39 thl'ough '43 h eld their reunion In Sneed H all. Charles Akey, dorm president, and Elmer Tarbox, former Red Raide!' great and business graduate of the class of '39, were in charge of a!'range­ ments. Scene of the '45 through '48 class reunion was Doak Hall, with Ralph Cox, president of the dormi­ tory, and Barbara Bedford Camp­ bell, · histo1-y_ graduate of 1947, di­ recting the proceedings. Classes of '49 and '50 met in Drane Hall. Bill Mccasland, '50 business graduate and former pres-· iaent of the T e J.: h Chamber of Commerce, and Alice Hix Parsley, junior and senior class favorite who graduated In 1950, were In charge of arrangements, along with Ja­ mie Reagan, president of Drane Shown relaxing in a H iiton hotel room before going t o the Hall, where the reunion was held.

Mrs. Howard instigated planning which eventually led to the 'Old­ time1·s" reunion at the Hilton. He1· idea appealed to dormitory offic­ e!'s who offered their facilities and services to make reunions possible for all the classes. If it were not for Virginia How­ ard, perhaps one of .the most en­ joyable phases of Tech's Silver An­ nivel'sa1·y Homecoming would not have taken place. However, she was unable to see the results of he!' Idea. The birth of a daughter a few days before Homecoming kept her away from her class re· union. All in all, the class reunions were a big success and will proba­ bly be a pe1·manent H omecoming feature from now on.
