Mr. Erhardt G. Schmitt 41 Mill Rock Road New Haven, CT 06511

I am sure this good letter from one of our "Class of 1916" scholarship students will interest you, especially those of us who contributed to this fund. "Dear Mr. Schmitt, As a recipient of one of the scholarships given by the class of 1916, I'd like to thank you for providing this aid to me as well as to other students at Trinity College. I am a sophomore English major and come from Rockland County, New York, ... fully appreciate the efforts of alumni in enabling students to attend Trinity by making up the financial deficits which many students encounter when attending a private liberal arts college. My experiences here have been most rewarding in all aspects, only one of which has been the academic. One opportumty I feel I have been given at Trinity which I would not otherwise have received is the participation in the foreign exchange program, through which I hope to be able to spend next year in Durham, England. Once again, I wish to express my appreciation for the effort which your class is making for the 'support and continuation of the excellent quality of education at Trinity. Sincerely, Debbie Flower."

Alden Mackinnon on February 13, 1975. Mack (as he was affectionately known) was a successful businessman in the Hartford area. I knew Mack at Hartford High as well as at Trinity and I recall him as the owner of an infectious smile, a fine fellow and one who was always neatly attired. I always envied his slender build. Mack was a good shortstop on the Trinity nine and made a final great play in our senior year that enabled Trinity to vanquish Wesleyan. MARTIN GUARDIAN retired last year to Delray Beach, Florida after 28 years of service as executive vice president with the National Association of Cemeteries. Martin has received such honors as: Who's Who of America, Who's Who of Diplomats, and was a chartered member of American Society of Association Executives . Ed. Note: After submitting the above items, Jim Calano's faithful and aevoted wife, Mary, passed away March 14 at Hartford Hospital.

Our sympathy goes out to his wife. She informed us that, before his illness, Herb was acting as Schoharie County (New York) historian on the Schoharie bicentennial committee. HARRIS THOMAS writes that he is enjoying life in Castine, Maine. The 1975 Immortals Dinner is set for May 23. Come on , fellas , and let's have a good turnout for the Class of '24.

This is great, Dave and Olga . How about you reading this good news, to send in a good word about yourself and your doings? Dave speaks of keeping in touch with HERB and Peg NOBLE. Again, great! That's the 2T6 spirit - and Dave adds "always interested in receiving occasional news (in our Class Notes) in the Trinity Reporter. Everyone helps when he gets a word to your ever hopeful Secretary. You each will rejoice, even as your Secretary, to know .. we had a kind and thoughtful greeting at Christmas from the dear, brave and devoted wives of those of our good classmates who have gone on ahead of us. They were: Vera McBURNEY, Dorothy SHEEHAN , Ruth GLOTZER, and if memory serves me right, Dorthea PELLETT. To those dear friends we can say "Thank you" - and God's richest blessing on you, each and all. Gratefully, HOWARD and Doris TULE have come along through the "Flu-business" - as we hope and pray can be said for the rest of you.

Brief, well written and to the point is a letter from our Class Agent, The Rev. ROBERT YELLOWLEE CONDIT concerning Trinity's $12 million Campaign for Trinity Values. Hopefully all classmates will contribute and our more affluent will really dig! For the time being therefore, I'll remain quiet about 1927's class dues for our Library Fund. (My pleas never were very successful, anyway.) Happy to receive a call from FRANK (MIN) BLOODGOOD who, in spite of problems, maintains his interest and derives so much pleasure from the outstanding career of son, JOHN '54. Like the groundhog, our Chairman ANDY FORRESTER has finally come out of hibernation and with his Annabelle is trying a month in Florida for size.

Three of the five pieces of news I have to report on this month come not from your own pens, but from the New Haven Register. Early in January, the Register reported that RICH KREZEL, currently practicing law in partnership with Theodore Foulis in Plainville, Connecticut was seeking the position of town attorney in Southington, Connecticut. In hopes of finding out if the appointment had been made, I've been calling the town, still without luck in finding out what's happened . Good luck, Rich. We also learned from the same paper that The Rev. DWIGHT LUNDGREN assumes new duties as a pastor of the First Baptist Church of Branford, Connecticut, on May 1. Previously, Dwight served as pastor of the First Baptist Church in Shelton. BOB EGLESTON was recently named the new curator of the New Haven Colony Historical Society, according to a feature story in the Register. As many of you know, Bob's museum work dates back to his Trinity years when he spent summers at the Old Dartmouth Historical Society and Whaling Museum in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Before joining the New Haven Society, Bob had been assistant curator at Essex Institute, and among other responsibilities at the New Haven Society, he began work in January on gravestone rubbings . We also heard recently from TED BARTLETT who is still living in Orlando, Florida and is now chief psychologist at Orange Memorial Hospital. Ted's the father of two daughters (four and one) and writes that "Disney World is nearby, and I love to see old classmates when they are in town." Roadie to Orlando, anyone? Last, but certainly not least, JOHN HEYL, who has been at Trinity for five years as director of alumni relations and recently as well, assistant director of development, left Trinity officially on January 24 to become director of the Harvard Business School Fund. While we at the College will miss his collection of wild plaid pants around Williams Memorial, we wish him well in his challenging new venture. Those of you in the Boston area can stop in and see John in his office at Glass Hall 6, Soldiers Field, Boston. There is plenty of room in this column left f-or11ew-s of the- resfOf you, and if I don't hear from some of you soon, I may start making up stories.

CHARLEY KURZ wrote while flying to Seattle for a short business trip. As most of you know he's our class agent which means he's in charge of the Alumni Fund for our class. Last year we had one of the best class participation percentages but, as Charley pointed out, it was far from 100% so how about our class improving upon it and being the leader this year. It doesn't matter what size contribution one gives as long as we all participate. If in the current economic crisis Trinity is going to remain the excellent school it is, it will need our help. An anonymous letter (I love them - how about some more) came in with some good news about JOHN DAVISON, JR. and HUGH KENWORTHY. John was recently named the youngest vice president ever of the Kidder, Peabody stock brokerage firm. He lives in St. Davids, Pennsylvania with his wife, Christina, and their two daughters, Christina and Lindsey, ages four and two, respectively. As for Hugh, my anonymous source reports that he is a vice president of a "very important" bank in Reading, Pennsylvania. HAL CUMMINGS has just been appointed brigade legal officer for the 43rd brigade of the Connecticut National Guard in Hartford. Now a partner in the West Hartford law firm of Kuehn, Cavanaugh and Cummings, he is also a member of the Vernon (Connecticut) Republican town committee.

TRINITY SPORTS New Outing Program Open To Area Alumni New to the campus this year is the Trinity Outing Program (TOP) . Organized during the Fall term by Michael Marlies, visiting assistant professor in philosophy, M. David Lee, associate dean of student services, and a small group of students, TOP has been able to offer an impressive program of outdoor activities to the Trinity community, including alumni and their spouses. The response to the Program has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic among students, faculty, and staff members alike. The mailing list has soared to 150, and in the first half of the Spring semester, an estimated 75 people have participated in TOP outings. Day hikes are offered almost every weekend, mostly to locations within Connecticut. During vacations and the Open Period, more adventurous outings are held. In mid-February, a group of eleven camped for four days in Franconia Notch, in New Hampshire's White Mountains, scaling Cannon Mt., and Mt. Lafayette, traversing the Lafayette - Little HaystacLridge . A smaller group camped out near Mt. Monadnock in Jaffrey, N.H. during January, climbing the ice-shrouded mountain on two successive days. Cross-country skiing trips have also been held, but lack of snow locally has made this a slow season for skiers. Upcoming activities include a late winter back-packing trip to the Adirondacks, and, following the Spring Vacation, a number of canoeing trips and an introduction to technical rock climbing . Alumni seeking information on how to participate should call the Mather Campus Center at (203) 527-3151 Ext. 274. The purposes of the Program are various. In addition to helping to provide the joys of going into the wilds and seeing beautiful things, the Program is designed to add a new dimension to Trinity education. Outings are coupled with instructional programs in which participanfs can learn techniques of hiking, climbing, skiing, canoeing, and wilderness living, and can learn how to do these things without damaging the environment. A newly-initiated leadership program will train people to take responsibility for the safety and enjoyment of their companions. Yet another aspect of TOP is community service. In April, for example, members of TOP will spend a week-end cutting and clearing a new section of the Nipmuck Trail in northeastern Connecticut. Clean-up trips, where trails and scenic areas will be cleared of garbage and refuse, are also being planned. TOP also offers services to the Trinity community. In February, the Program sponsored and organized a sale in which members of

VARSITY SQUASH

TRINITY SWEEPS MASON-DOWNES REGATTA - In the first regatta of the season, Trinity scored victories in all events against Temple University and the University of Rhode Island on the Connecticut, March 29. Shown above is the new varsity lightweight shell christened the "Edward Magnus Potter" in honor of Potter '74 who was captain of the varsity lightweights in his senior year. the Trinity community were able to purchase a wide variety of camping equipment at reduced rates. TOP has an informatively written and organized Spring Schedule, which is available by writing to M. David Lee at the Mather Campus Center. The Schedule describes in detail all of the Program's planned trips and instructional sessions, and in addition describes the level of difficulty of the various outings, and the equipment that the participants will need. Although pursuing a deliberate policy of not providing individuals with "personal gear," the Outing Program tr:ies to provide participants with some of the more expensive and specialized equipment needed on some of the trips. However, while the Program has purchased some tents, ropes, ice axes, and snow shoes, it can as yet only look hopefully forward to a day when additional funds become available to purchase larger items like canoes. As the Program has grown, more and more people on campus have taken on planning and organizational responsibilities. Students, faculty, and staff are, in increasing numbers, serving as trip leaders, planners, and instructors, giving TOP a broad base, and making it a vehicle for increased communication and understanding between various groups on the campus.
