Dear Classmates:
SPECIAL CLASS DINNER: A very special invitation was sent to all members of the Class of 1949 and the spouses of deceased members by Rev. John E. Brooks, S.J., our esteemed classmate, to attend a Special Class Dinner at The Worcester Club on June 8, the Thursday evening preceding the festivities of the 51st Reunion of the Class. There was a great turnout of 80 classmates and their spouses. A beautiful program was written by Fr. Brooks. The food and service at The Worcester Club were truly outstanding. At Father's request, it was a social evening altogether, and he chose not to say anymore than grace before the meal, which was beautifully written and most apropos for the occasion. All in attendance had a long, leisurely and exhilarating evening merely being with one another. Truly, the Special Class Dinner that evening will always remain one of the memorable events in the history of the Class of 1949.
