- 1/12/97 -- "Short of a trip back to campus, Haverfordians are always ready to refresh their feelings for the College when a campus figure or traveling sports team visits. The men's basketball team, led by Coach Mike Mucci, finished a swing through the south then arrived at Gallaudet University. The team was supported by more than 50 cheering fans in back of the Ford bench. The game was played between two well-matched teams with the score tight the full game. The team, suffering the loss of Robbie Weinert '00 who was on the bench with a tear in his anterior cruciate ligament, lost a tough 57-52 contest. Following the game, we gathered for a reception to meet old friends and make new ones and to exchange greetings with the coaches and players. A number of current students came with family members, and graduates of the Class of 1996 were out in force. Although the mood understandably was subdued, I think the team felt the warmth and support of those who came to cheer them on. In return, the team, representing another generation of Haverford, reaffirmed for the alumns, what this place is all about." Regional volunteers Ron Schwarz '66, Sharon Singer '89, and Jay Goldman '78.
- 02/17/97 -- Bi-College Recent Graduates Skating Party. Regional volunteers Catherine Hoffman BMC '95 and Beth Lipetzky BMC '96.

Fractured Forties

Dear Women and Men of the "Fractured Forties":

The responses to the Fractured Forties book we published last spring have been overwhelmingly enthusiastic, and running through many of them are common themes:

"I'm sorry I didn't write something. Is it too late? Can you put out a second edition, including additional pieces?"

"There's more I should have written about ______. If you bring out a revised edition, could I add something, maybe as an appendix?"

"Please send me extra copies. My children &endash; all grown up now, with children of their own &endash; want copies."

The answer to the last question is "Yes!" To the first two, also "Yes!" if you will let us know by August that you really will send us your piece.

So please do let the Alumni Office know, so that we can proceed while enthusiasm remains high.

Sincerely,
Ted Shakespeare '49

Alumni & Parent Overnight Host Program

Traveling hither and yon? Haverford alumni and parents are being asked to put out the welcome mat for fellow travelers &endash; College alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and current students.

Instead of spending the night in a motel or hotel, would you enjoy staying in the home of a Haverford alumnus/a or parent? You would have first-rate company while saving money, and though hosts would ask for an overnight housing donation, the funds collected will go toward Haverford's financial aid for students.

This is a proposed new program sponsored by the Alumni Association which gave its official blessing at the annual Alumni Council meeting held in September, 1996.

Our next step is to recruit hosts. If you'd like to be a host, please contact the Alumni Office at 610-896-1001, alumni@haverford.edu, and further information will be sent to you.
