CLASS OF 1906
June, 1909 Harold Goddard Rugg

Although perhaps disappointing in the number present, the triennial reunion of the class of 1906 was a decided success. Thirty-four loyal men were present. With costumes of kimonas and white hats with 'O6 numerals they made a striking appearance, which was noticeable everywhere and favorably commented upon. The class supper was held Tuesday evening in the Commons. After the supper the men adjourned to class headquarters. Here a brief but very impressive memorial service was held in memory of Colborn Brackett, Glen J. Hale, Raymond Hackney, and Henry S. Kendall, members of the class who had died since Commencement, June 1906. News of Kendall's death reached Hanover only a day or two before the reunion, and came as a great blow to all. A few toasts were responded to, Morrill Gallagher acting most acceptably as toastmaster. At this time the resignation of Ralph Scott as class secretary was read and accepted, and Harold G. Rugg elected to fill his place. A hearty vote of thanks was rendered Paul and Gallagher for their efficient service in raising funds for the New Gym. Plans for the next reunion were made, and the meeting adjourned. Those present felt amply repaid for their efforts in getting back to Hanover. The few days of fellowship and close association

brought the men into closer intimacy than ever before, and all agreed to return in two years for the next reunion.
