Class of 1954

Class secretary Marshall Cohen reports: “Our 65th reunion is in full swing and plans are firm for a weekend of fun and great dining. Our ‘senior’ class will parade with honor near the head of the traditional commencement march. Our reunion committee has worked hard and long in advance with our Brown coordinator Jill Stange to book the very best venues for our class luncheon and two dinners. We will enjoy our two class dinners at the Hope Club, the exclusive club, known for its warm colonial decor and excellent food. Our class luncheon will be enjoyed at the University Club, where the food and beverages are prepared with 5-star excellence. As a gift from the class, all meals will be subsidized from the class treasury, still leaving a substantial balance for mailings and class gifts to Brown. During our class meeting a treasurer’s report and a vote for the new slate of class officers will be held. Since the commencement weekend has been shortened in recent years, we have decided to enjoy all our activities on or near the Brown campus. In addition to our luncheon and two dinners, we have scheduled a cocktail hour before one of the dinners, and thanks to the hospitality and generosity of classmate  Jon Berbarian and Betty Jane, the class is invited to enjoy a cocktail party at their home following the commencement on Sunday at 181 Lloyd Avenue—a short walk from the campus. In time you will receive reservation forms from Brown with food choices, costs, and housing information. For the time being PLEASE plan to come back to Providence, to your alma mater, and to your welcoming classmates from Brown and Pembroke. Only YOU can make our reunion special and memorable. Mark the dates. The ‘game becomes afoot’ starting on Friday, May 24, and ending Sunday, May 26.”
