PREFACE rtici ated in many activities involving MIT during the Though I have pa p . . . last 25 years, none has been so pleasant as compiling the information t d ' this volume The entire history of our country over these presen e in - G ' fl t d in the summaries of the past quarter-century of the years is re ec e lives of over 300 of my fellow classmates. Hardly a facet of our Am- erican way of life is left untouched, from major corporation presidents of mall businesses university professors, hospital staff, to owners s , members of the ministry and of medicine, career military and naval officers, significant contributors to our space program, entrepreneurs and adventurers, a few already retired, and many Just venturing into new endeavors. All are represented. Ihope that in reading these pages each recipient of this 25th Reunion Book will experience the same satisfaction I did in becoming aware that our class occupies a permanent niche in contemporary life that is un- surpassed by any other. Let it be our hope that the future years will enable them to use their stature to assure that others who will follow will not lack the opportunities which they have been given. No introductory remarks to any book of this type would be complete without thanks to those who assisted in its production: First, to Lou Demarkles and Jane, his wife, who took over for me while I was on va- cation in the midst of the heavy editing and proofing, secondly, to Panos Spiliakos of the Alumni Association and his staff for their instantaneous support when requested, thirdly, to Mr. I-Ioward Kirshen '47, of the Howard Kirshen Printing Corporation, for his forbearance and cooper- ation in extending deadlines, and to his associate, Mrs. Geraldine Morse QRadcliffe '43J who so patiently and artistically produced the final productg and lastly, but foremost in my thoughts, to my wife Edna, who spent many hours with me checking commas and zip codes and spelling and all the myriad other details involved in a literary compilation. We hope we didn't goof up yours! We wish you many hours of happy remini c'ng. Stan War shaw Reunion Book Editor
