iEhr Alumni Association jTlIE BULKELEY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION has set the pace for similar organizations be-longing to secondary schools. The renewed life and the productive activities of the Bulkeley Alumni Association date hack to 1922. The approaching Golden Anniversary of the school was the cause and inspiration of this renaissance. First began the registration of members when the school office undertook the hig task of locating every living graduate. Class rolls containing such residence addresses as were definitely known were printed in duplicate copies and these lists were given out or mailed to any and to all persons who might supply the desired data. The campaign was nearly one hundred per cent successful, resulting in the completion of a card index giving the exact addressses. occupational connections, and professional references of approximately one thousand graduates. The anniversary banquet in June, 1923 was an event of state-wide interest. Many alumni who lived far from New London returned for the celebration. This occasion proved so enjoyable that it was voted to hold reunion banquets annually. A constitution was adopted at the second meet ing and banquet of the Association in June. 1924. The Griswold hotel at Eastern Point was the happy rendezvous for these afternoon and evening gatherings for three successive years. Then the Mohican Hotel was chosen for the 1926 meeting with the same encouraging evidence in attendance and interest. Every year the program has been replete with entertainment and special features not omitting, of course, responses from popular grads of various classes and including brief addresses by Bulkeley alumni who have earned distinction. Special credit should he given to the Bulkeley Alumni Asosciation for the aid it renders Bulkeley throughout the year in promoting every worthy interest and objective of the school. This policy of constructive support and cooperation makes the Bulkeley Alumni Association not only an active but also a highly useful and important agency in our community life. The source of such inspiration and such worth while service is always to he found in the hearts of men lather than in the preamble and articles of a constitution. So in accounting for the excellent record of tin Bulkeley Alumni Association we find the origin of benefits and accomplishments in the fine spirit and loyalty of the individual members. Undergraduate students as well as alumni are grateful for the leadership of such men as C. C. Costello. Alfred Ligourie. Morris Lubchansky, Thomas E. Troland, Edward Eggleston. Edward S. Huntley, and Frank Joseph who have been the honored officials of the organization during the past years. The happy custom has become established of electing new presidents each year to guide the affairs of the association. The plan is certain to continue beneficial with so many capable and interested sons of Bulkeley roadv to “carry on.”
