June will be bustin’out all over

Alumni Day becomes whole weekend

The Alumni Board of Directors has voted to expand the traditional Alumni Day to an Alumni Week- end. Scheduled two weeks later than the traditional day, this year’s activities will begin on Friday after- noon, June 1, and conclude on Sunday afternoon, June 3.

This year’s program includes: a special continuing education work- shop, a family film presentation, a sing-a-long and snack time, an early-bird swim in the new pool, special reunion class breakfasts, campus tours, alumni fitness fun time, class reunion pictures, a fam- ily picnic in the park, a reception with the Alumni Board of Direc- tors, the traditional Honors and Recognition Banquet, an ICU

alumni-led worship service, and a superb afternoon program of enter- tainment by our students and alumni. Top it all off with a Vol- cano Nightcap (ice cream extravag- anza) at Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlor and you’ll be glad you came for this extraordinary weekend! Re- union breakfasts and special ac- tivities will be held honoring the classes of 1929, 1934 (golden an-

niversary), 1939, 1944, 1949, 1954 (silver anniversary), 1964, 1969, 1974, and 1979. Write or call some of your class- mates and encourage them to join you for this return visit to your alma mater.

Fifty Year Club Scholarship gets boost For several years members of grad- uating classes that have celebrated their fifty-year anniversary have joined forces and contributed to a special scholarship fund. Hundreds of donors have contributed to this worthy project, which now totals over $18,000. One of these mem- bers, Dorcas Petty Dice '31, boosted the total with a generous $3,000 gift during the 1983 Christ- mas season. This is the largest single contribution to this scholar- ship fund since its beginning in 1977. Mrs. Dice, a member of the varsity debating team during her campus years, hoped her gift would be an incentive to other members for their continued sup- port of this scholarship. The club's goal of $20,000 is now within reach for their annual meeting held dur- ing the Alumni Weekend. The University salutes these valuable alumni, members of the Fifty Year Club. 0
