CLASS OF 1911

The class of 1911 started their reunion the morning of Saturday, June 20th, at which time the headquarter tent was erected by a few in town at the rear of the Alumni Oval. From then on, preparations were made to meet the Dartmouth special from Boston, which had a coachful of '11 men aboard. As this train pulled into the station, two hayracks were at the depot, and the festivities of a real third reunion were on.

Saturday night open house was observed, and every '11 man got together as if the three years had not elapsed. Sunday, the men were together in more or less small groups, with dinners at the nearby towns. Sunday evening found '09 and '11 joining forces for an evening of friendly chat of good days.

Monday morning, the costumes were donned by the classes at nine o'clock. These costumes were a Jockey suit, consisting of patent leather gaiters, white trousers, green blouses, and the white and green caps. On the green blouses was a diagonal white line, and also a white pocket, with the '11 numeral in green. The polo game was held on the campus between six of our classmates, one of whom rode a mule, two riding horses, two being enclosed in papier-mache horses, and the sixth being driven around in a Ford runabout. After the polo game, which was most intense, there came the ball game with '09. This lasted six innings with a perfectly satisfactory score, namely, a tie one.

Monday afternoon was a further opportunity for the fellows to talk and be together, and in the evening came the class banquet at the White River Tavern. Barges and automobiles were the mode of transportation to Hartford, Vt., and every one of the '11 men in Hanover went down,. On Monday evening after the return from the class banquet, the boys all enjoyed the promenade and band concert in front of old Dartmouth.

Tuesday came the ball game with Amherst and Dartmouth, and incidental to the game was the spirited kidnapping of the '09 pig by a few of the huskiest of '11. The kidnapping was fast becoming a success, when the stretcher split in the middle, and thereby our coveted prize escaped. Tuesday afternoon the class attended the president's reception and the formal opening of Robinson Hall. Tuesday night the class had a display on the lawn in front of Reed Hall, wherein all were quartered, in the way of green lights, which made the numerals of 1911.

Wednesday morning found the boys returning to their varied lines of work, which took them back to Porto Rico, Florida, and the Middle West. The third reunion was attended by eighty-three loyal men, and telegrams were received from many of those who were unable to get there.

Pictures of the reunion may be obtained from Langill of Hanover, and the large group picture can be had for a dollar, if obtained from Woodman. Any other information in regard to these pictures can be had from the Secretary, Josh Clark, by writing to him at 50 Congress St.. Boston, Mass.
