- Mount Vernon    Friday May 13, 2016

Our classmate Peter Cressy arranged a terrific program for the Class of 1963 at Mount Vernon on Friday, May 13, 2016. All members of the Class and their spouses are invited to join us at what promises to be a memorable event.

More than 30 people attended the event. But there is still ample room for other classmates to join us.

The day featured a VIP tour of Mount Vernon, together with discussions of George Washington’s multiple careers as commanding general, President, and pioneering entrepreneur. The discussions will be led by experts, including our own Wick Murray.   A detailed schedule of the day’s events is set forth on the link above.

Songs of Yale....

The Whiffenpoof Song

Bright College Years  (performed by the Yale Glee Club)

Bright College years, with pleasure rife, the shortest, gladdest years of life; 
How swiftly are ye gliding by!  Oh, why doth time so quickly fly?

 The seasons come, the seasons go,  the earth is green or white with snow,
But time and change shall naught avail,  to break the friendships formed at Yale.

 In after years, should troubles rise, to cloud the blue of sunny skies,
How bright will seem, through mem'ry's haze, those happy, golden, bygone days!

Oh, let us strive that ever we, may let these words our watch-cry be,
Where'er upon life's sea we sail:

 "For God, for Country and for Yale!"
