More Renovation Work Completed in May

Several of the pictures on the left side of the Home Page reflect work completed by Richard Holmes and several actives during Spring Break 2011. On April 16, many of the actives and their fathers completed more work on the house. Richard Holmes organized another group of actives and alumni to put some more finishing touches on the house in preparations for the 90th Reunion during the week of May 9th to 14th. "We made great progress during the work week in May," Holmes said, "I look forward to the house looking good not only for the 90th Reunion, but also for the Fall Rush Season."
