CLASS LEADERSHIP
The first officers of the Class of 1962 – president, vice president, treasurer, and secretary – were elected in June, 1962 by a newly created Class of 1962 Men’s Alumni Council whose main purpose was to run a Class dues drive.
The president then appointed the Cornell Fund representative, the reunion chairman, and the class correspondent for the Alumni News. Their term of office was five years.
A subsequent ad hoc meeting with coed classmates resulted in several women being appointed to class officer positions: co-Reunion Chair and Class Correspondent for Women.
From 1967 onward, the classmates attending official class reunions elected Class Officers for five-year terms.
First Class Officers, Spring 1962 Kneeling (l. to r.) are C. Willis Ritter, secretary; John F. Abel, president. Standing are George G. Telesh, reunion chairman; Fred Hart, treasurer; Richard J. Levine, class correspondent for the Alumni News. Missing: David S. Kleger, vice president, and Owen J. Sloane, fund representative.
