CLASS OF 1904

The decennial celebration of the class was unquestionably the most enjoyable reunion ever held by 1904. Nearly all New England members returned, while many from Chicago, and the Far West came to Hanover just for the reunion. Sixty-eight men, twentythree wives, eight children, and the three honorary members of the class made the total 1904 representation one hundred and two. The program so carefully arranged by the committee in charge was faithfully followed with the gratifying result that every event scheduled, from the reception and tea Saturday afternoon to the presentation of the class gift Wednesday noon, was a pronounced success by itself.

The feature of the reunion was the attendance of Judge Cross, an honorary member of 1904, and the oldest living graduate of the College. On Monday evening at the class banquet he addressed the class, with great feeling and made an impression that will long be remembered by those present. As a token of the esteem of the class he was presented at this banquet with a leatherbound brochure containing the signature of all members of the class in Hanover on that memorable occasion. Other presentations at the banquet included the silver cup to the class boy, Mathias Rock, and a gold watch and chain to the secretary.

At a meeting held during Commencement Week the class adopted a new organization. All offices were abolished and the management of the ordinary business of the class was vested in an executive committee of three. The chairman of this committee is designated as secretary of the class. The men elected were Charron, secretary, Robinson, and Streeter.

Among other enjoyable features of the week were a Saturday night round-up that surpassed any event of its kind ever held, an automobile trip to Woodstock Inn for Sunday dinner, and a remarkable banquet unparalleled in enthusiasm. The presentation of the class gift to the College, a portrait of Judge Cross, at the luncheon Wednesday noon, was a fitting climax to a memorable week.

The class report now in preparation will more fully describe the reunion.

Leon W. Webster is the father of a boy, born June 12, 1914.

During the week preceding the reunion, two members of the class became benedicts: Collins and Root. Collins attended the reunion and thus combined two happy experiences. Root did not arrive in Hanover till the last day of the exercises.

B. B. Brayton holds the record for distance traveled to attend the reunion. He came from Idaho Falls, Idaho.
