Class of 1931
Somebody said Thiryone Up! And it musta been heard from the rocky coast of somewhere to the balmy shores of somewhere else. In fact, if you shut your eyes we'll wager you can hear the echo. What's more important: try reading this schedule; then shut your eyes. Now, how's about it? Are you going to be there? If everyone shows up who's promised to go, we'll take the props right out from under that record set by 1930 last June. And if everyone goes who wants to go, we'll set a record that will stand for a long time to come. Remember, you won't be able to do this again next week, next month, next year- it's got to be some part of June 12, 13, 14, or 15, 1936! or wait for five more years- long years—to make an old man out of you. Lay aside those excuses, and you'll be repaid a thousandfold! Well, that's about enough of that. What we're getting at is that we sure hope you can get to the Fifth Reunion.

Coolidge, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bradford Coolidge, presaged a marriage which will unite two of the oldest families in Dayton. The event will take place some time in late autumn. Bob, we know the ecstasy evidenced in your letter is amply justified.

Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Weymouth announce the marriage of their daughter, Alice, to Mr. Frank McCord at Flushing, Long Island, N. Y. on June 20. Congratulations.
And this seems to be a slick spot to urge you to make your contribution to the Alumni Fund. The committee's activities will be almost over when you read this. But if you missed, send it along anywayyou may get under the wire. And this seems to be the occasion for sincere congratulations to our class agents, headed up by Beany Thorn. Whatever the results, credit should go to every one of them for their diligence and earnest effort to cut you loose from a few dollars for the support of the only material expression of loyalty to Dartmouth that is asked of you.
And speaking of dollars, we think the reunion tax may be as little as seven dollars per, but we have to wait for the final word of our chief auditors, Messrs. Ed Gruen and Bill Minehan. Once this is established (which will be any day now), that swashbuckling craftsman of pictures and words, Dick Holbrook, with the able assistance of three other ingenious admen—Monk McCord, Bob Baumrucker, and Ab Dean—will put in the mails to you a brochure which will explain in detail (and in devious other ways) just what to expect out of your sojourn in Hanover. Furthermore, it will help you in getting there; what procedure to follow after you arrive; and suggest the way to make the most of those precious few days. Don't fail to read your copy carefully. They tell me the Class of 1930 cup for largest attendance at Reunion is to make its debut in Hanover this June. Anyway, they're relying on Si Chandler to get it there.
Reading for the secretaries' meeting in Hanover next week, and will put such finishing touches on reunion arrangements as are in order.
Put your toothbrush in your pocket. Bum a ride or use the muchly reduced round-trip forms available from Jim Godfrey at New Hampshire Savings Bank Bldg., Concord, N. H.; train fares, when using this form, are only one and one third of oneway passage for round-trip tickets. Join the biggest and best peerade of your life.
SEE YOU IN HANOVER!
