Dear Milne Alumni and Supporters,

In this issue:

* Looking for a Home for the Class of 1956 Baseball Trophy and More!
* Sad News

LOOKNG FOR A HOME FOR THE CLASS OF 1956 BASEBALL TROPHY AND MORE!

For each of the following, please respond to me.

1. As I mentioned last month, another trophy has been added to our digital listing of Milne trophies. It can be viewed here and is the first trophy pictured. Now I'm looking for a "home" for this trophy. If anyone is interested, please let me know. Preference will be given to a member of the Class of '56.

2. I also have an original photo that appears to include members of the Class of '56 possibly including additional classes, both "girls" and "boys." On the back it says "Bricks and Ivy, p. 31," but I'm not seeing it in the 1956 yearbook. I would be happy to email a scan to anyone who might be interested.

3. Then I have a February 1954 newspaper clipping of the Milne varsity basketball team, which includes Art Melius, Don Smith, Criss Cross, John Murphy, Harry Page, Paul Howard, Don Wilson, Bill Bullion, Russ Peck, Bob Byrum, John Wolfe, Jud Lockwood, and Coach Harry Grogan. Let me know if you would like that clipping.

4. Finally, I have a formal photo by Frumkin Studio of what appears to be some members the Class of '56, in addition to Dr. Fossieck and several faculty members sitting on the floor with their legs crossed (!!) in front of the class. Again, I would be happy to email a scan to anyone who might be interested.
