"For a non-reunion year, the class of '97 had quite a reunion at Hanover last Commencement, and at that time fourteen '97 men wandered back. They were Ben Marshall, Dave Maloney, Semp Smith, Joe Ryan, Paul Clay, Mike Kelly, Herbert Thyng, Duncklee, Tracy, Christophe, Tuttle, and myself. In between concerts, graduation exercises, eating, and golf, I had good visits with each of these men, although some of them were there for only an hour or two. If we can get that many out on non-reunion year, we ought to provide at least 80 per cent of the living members for the Thirtieth Reunion next year."
