1919*

Reunion News crowds everything else into the background these days. The first mailing has gone out and been received these many days. Before you get this you will probably have the next mailing, which will undoubtedly ask for measurements for costumes. We're getting pretty close to this thing from a committee point of view, and it is highly important that the measurements be sent back with any other dope requested as soon as the request is received—quick like a mouse.

And how are we doing? As of March JO, as we go to press, we have received word back that about 50 are definitely coming. This is beyond our fondest hopes, for the replies are just starting to come in. It looks like the biggest reunion we have ever had by far—and we've had some good ones to date. It looks now as if we'd have a hundred and fifty men, and nearly as many women and children—maybe more. And that ought to be quite a party.

Among those heard from is Jim Wilson, the Salem, Ohio, tooler. He says in part, "What in hell is Norma? Goat, bat, cow, dog, cat, or deer? We who missed the 15th would never know." Ed's Note: We can't explain this confusion, what with Norma pictured twice in our mailing piece. "Polly, myself, and both kids plan to be on hand. I hated to miss the 15th, but will double up on the 20th." Knip Deßoer writes that he and Mrs. Deßoer will be in town after lunch on Friday, and with their Great Dane dog. Word of this has got around, and several of the boys who formed Mrs. Deßoer's constant body guard at the 15th are planning to bring their wives. Red Col well says New Rochelle will be on hand 100%, which makes about fifty right there. And Dr. Dennie Sullivan states he is bringing Mrs. Sullivan and six little Sullivans. Hfe demands information as follows before entering his guesses for the Grand Prix: "1. Species of hog—2. Whether sow or boar—3. Whether bred and how many times—4. Environment and economic status of keeper—s. Diet." We can answer all those questions, though we resent them. Who is he to be prying into the private life of our sweetheart? These doctors! First, Norma is a white Aryan hog, or piglet as we prefer to say. Second, what does he think a pig named Norma would be? Third, see Wi.nchell. Fourth, we're not sure but our bet would be lousy. Fifth, The Hay Diet, but it does no good, if that's a hint. Proctor guesses 471/2 lbs., which shows how much he knows about pigs, or he's confused again and thinking of Jeavons.

Mai Drane writes that if this is really Norma the money is as good as his, because he is the one who brought Norma out of her pastoral obscurity. He feels confident that he would recognize her at once after all these years, even if she has developed "middle age spread." Jack Clark makes his bid with, "same as Jeavons." He is either optimistic about the architecting business in Cleveland, or pessimistic about conditions on the Huntington farm.

All the people you'd expect to be coming are signed up, or report almost surely. Most of them are bringing their wives as usual. A new development, and one that has caught the committee a little off first base, is the number of children. By a little shifty footwork, however, they are getting set for this angle, and the kids will have everything they want. We will cover this in our next mailing to your entire satisfaction. Meanwhile send back the coupon on the last mailing piece, so the committee will know where they are at. And do it now.

You have no doubt heard about Hanover Holiday, a grand institution started by the College two years ago. This takes place the week after Commencement. It is for alumni of the college and friends, and constitutes a splendid vacation, both from an intellectual and a recreational point of view. The program, which you may have read about in the February ALUMNI "'MAGAZINE, starts Monday, June 19, with informal talks and discussions mornings and evenings all week. These will cover a number of interesting and controversial topics of current importance, and offer a chance for intellectual stimulation. The speakers this year are Professors Keir, Joseph McDonald, Pressey, McCal- lum, Choukas, Scarlett, Packard, Ander- son, and Alexander Meiklejohn, whom Dartmouth is fortunate in having this year as a visiting professor. Between these talks the rest of the day is left open for fun and pleasure, with all the opportuni- ties Hanover has to offer. Special rates at the Hanover Inn make the total cost av- erage under $30.00 a person, complete with room, food, and tuition.

The number attending this party has increased each yearj and only the most enthusiastic reports are heard. Last year several of the reuning classes had a large group stay over for the week. It gave them an opportunity to take in the lectures and be together at a little more leisurely pace for a while longer. We are sure it will appeal to a number of 'igers, and we are suggesting to the committee that they appoint a committee to sign 'igers up for this grand Hanover Holiday.
