Reunion Days At Maine

Reunions offer old friends a chance to meet and chat. The friends in the pic­ ture at left have attended many reunions. Dean Joseph M. Murray ’25 of the Col­ lege of Arts and Sciences (left), who has attended 34 commencement programs, and Registrar Emeritus James A. Gannett ’08 (right) are happy to see Professor Emeritus Charles P. Weston ’96, who was recovering from a recent illness. Mr. Gannett has seen 52 commencements while Dean Weston hasn’t missed one in decades.

The fellow in the picture at right wasn’t doing too much talking when the photo was taken. He was too busy checking on the barbecue chicken served at the annual Alumni Barbecue on Saturday noon in the fieldhouse.

Reunion Weekend provides the Alum­ ni Association’s governing body, the Alumni Council, with an opportunity to meet. Discussing the ’59 program at left are, left to right: Philip A. Haskell ’53, Assistant Director of the Arthur A. Hauck Building Fund, and Council mem­ bers Robert W. Nelson ’45 of Attleboro, Mass., Mrs. Winona (Cole ’43) Sawyer of Bangor and Mr. Raymond H. Fogler ’15 of Hastings-on-Hudson, N. Y.

THE MAINE ALUMNUS

» In the photo at right, it looks as though Phil Brockway ’31 (center) is trying to make up his mind about the comfort of the handsome University chair which has become a part of the Brockway residence. It was presented to him by a grateful General Alumni Association for his 25 !'■ years of service as a member of the Commencement Committee. Presentation was made at the Alumni Banquet Satur­ day evening by GAA Executive Director Don Taverner ’43, right. New GAA Presi­ dent Dr. George F. Dow ’27, left, also offered congratulations to Mr. Brockway for his efforts, which included 10 years as committee chairman.

A bright new sign, above, positioned in front of the library, gave alumni the lat­ est returns on the Arthur A. Hauck Building Fund.

Sixty Percent of Alumni Uncontacted

The General Fund Committee’s report indicated that only forty percent of the living Maine alumni body have been con­ tacted for their pledges to date. Gifts and pledges from those contacted have been gratifying, but the major problem now fac­ ing the Fund is the contacting of the great remainder of the alumni body. Commenting on this situation, Mr. Man­ gan said, “The enthusiastic and conscientious effort of chairmen and workers in making their contacts in some areas deserves the appreciation and commendation of all of us. However, we have too many areas where the job, though well started, was only par­ tially done when local inactivity set in.
