Fifty-three loyal '06 men gathered in Hanover for the fifth year reunion from June 24 to June 28. The occasion was brightened by the presence of the wives of Beetle, Butterfield, Gibb, Glaze, Hazen, Jones, Moore, Redman, and, Russell, and by babies Beetle, Gibb, and Redman. Chase's sister was also present. Ayers and Gardiner (not being able to be present themselves) were represented by their fathers, who made themselves known to some of the class. Mr. Gardiner was class photographer and secured some fine group pictures.
To the reunion committee of Gallagher, Gordon, and Paul, great credit should be given for the success of the entire occasion. They procured unique Samson Occom Indian costumes, which were worn by the men and attracted a great deal of attention. The four days—indeed too short a time—passed with reminiscent talks, "peerades" about the campus, Indian war dances by Chief Glaze and his Indian bucks, adjourned class day exercises, ball games with 1901 and with 1908, and a visit to President Nichols and Doctor, Tucker. The coup d'etat, by "Gig" Gallagher, was an attack by the '06 Indians upon a stage coach crossing the campus. A fair inmate was dragged from the coach, scalped, and then burned at the stake.
At the class banquet in College Hall Monday evening "Gig" Gallagher in his inimitable way acted as toastmaster. Each man was called upon and told briefly of his experiences during the past. five years. Most of the men had not changed much in appearance since the 1906 Commencement and it indeed seemed as if all were back again as students in the dear old College. At the alumni dinner a business meeting was held and a committee of five appointed for the decennial reunion.
The following men were present: Bankart, Beetle, Brooks, H. F. Brown, Butterfield, Burnie, Bowlby, Carpenter, A. C. Clark, Cornell, Cutting, Chapin, P. M. Chase, Chidley, Davis, Dondero, H. C. Edgerton, Frazier, Gallagher, Gordon, Gibb, Glaze, F. B. Hazen, Hatch, P. J. Holmes, Heyhoe, Hartmann, Jones, Keady, Kingsbury, Leverom, C. R. Main, Marden, Moore, McGrail, O'Brien, Patten, Perry, Paul, F. F. Parker, Pratt, Page, Redman,' Norman Russell, Ritchie, Russ, Rugg, Sleeper, Thomas, Varick, Winship, Whittemore, Wayman.
