Before graduation, they created the "50 Club," designed to serve as an active organizing group for future alumni activities of the class. Select 50 Members The Club has 50 members, picked on the basis of scholarship, activities, quality of their non-academic work, and tentative location after graduation, according to class president Ed Pino of Lansing. "Members were selected to compose a cross-section of Michigan and out-of- state students who were most interested in promoting Michigan State as alumni," Pino said.
