For the thick, bulging Class of 27's 25th Reunion Report, almost every member of the class contributed a few paragraphs on what he had done and was now doing since he had graduated from the college.
The class has flung wide--half way around the world to Japan, south to Jamaica across among others. Its members have entered nearly every conceivable line of work--from a staggering list of professional men to the man who perhaps holds the world's most unusual job. He is Dan Lynch the Ayomic Junkman. He works with the Atomic Energy Commission, disposing of and salvaging the materials affected by atomic bomb blasts and tests.
Most of the reports reflect a satisfaction with life and life's work on the part of the members. An overwhelming proportion of the class has married, usually to college girls. Most of them worked for the government or entered the services during the last war. Almost all of them have done some traveling outside the country.
Here is only a small sample of some of the members of this class.
