CLASS OF 1892
No '92 man can get too much of a reunion, so Friday night found a goodly proportion of the men, their wives and children, assembled, for a get-together evening at the headquarters in Richardson Hall. More came Saturday and Sunday, so that we had in all 27 men, 15 wives, nine sons, and seven daughters, as follows: Allen, Belknap, Mrs. Belknap, Chester Belknap, Bliss, Mrs. Bliss, D. C. Bliss, Jr., Robert W. Bliss, Blood, Miss Gladys Blood, Brigham, Brown, Coon, Doty, Miss Margaret Doty, Earl, Emerson, Mrs. Emerson, Geiger, Gunnison, Mrs. Gunnison, Arvin and John V. Gunnison, Hall, Mrs. Hall, Miss Dorothy Hall, Richard Hall, Hayes, Holland, Mrs. Holland, Lamprey, Mrs. Lamprey, Libby, Mrs. Libby, Miss Mary L. Libby, McDuffee, W. V., Mrs. McDuffee, Norton, Mrs. Norton, Miss Ruth Norton, Noyes, Miss Mabel Noyes, Potter, Everett A. Potter, Randall, Salinger, Mrs. Salinger, Sargent, Mrs. Shirley, John M. and William Shirley, Shurtleff, Mrs. Shurtleff, Strong, Mrs. Strong, Weston, Mrs. Weston, Miss Florence Weston, Frederick L. Weston.
Saturday evening the ladies were entertained at "The Green Lantern" for supper, and at "Hush!", the musical, play in Webster Hall, while the men went to the class dinner at the Inn. Here, after a particularly delicious meal, President Salinger presided over three hours of talk that did not drag for a minute. Sargent spoke most interestingly of his war experiences overseas, and Belknap recalled some of the humors of undergraduate days. Hall gave us an inside view of the College as it is today and as it hopes to be in the future. His presentation of the needs of the Athletic Field led to a response which assures '92 meeting its $4000 quota. The secretary gave a brief report for each man in the class, and a general interchange of stories and incidents wound up a delightful evening.
Sunday we were scheduled for a picnic at the new Mel Adams Cabin, but the rain was coming down so hard we decided to stay at headquarters and have there the most attractive lunch which Prof. Griggs provided. Several of the class later went out to the cabin, and found it most charmingly situated on the hill near the reservoir.
Monday most of us went to the ball game in the morning, and to the alumni meeting in the afternoon to give our classmate Shurtleff, who was president of the alumni, proper support. In the evening we all took in the Glee Club concert.
Tuesday we gathered in Webster to see Arvin Gunnison and William Shirley graduate and Geiger get his honorary degree, and then marched down to the Gym for the alumni luncheon, where Shurtleff again presided. By afternoon most of us were on our various ways and the Thirtieth was over.
In spite of the rain, perhaps because of it, we count the reunion one of our best. We were kept pretty closely around headquarters, but that was no hardship. Some of our pleasantest memories will cluster around the open fire and the congenial company that could always be found in Richardson No. 6.
