1911
LAST MINUTE DATA ON REUNION
Reunion will start after lunch, Saturday, June 15, and end after breakfast, Wednesday, June 19. You will receive several notices from a highly respected member of the class between now and then pertaining to the Mountain View House Reunion and how to get there and other essential data. Frank says: "We are opening for regular guests on the 15th, but there will be very few here during those first four days while the class is with us, so 1911 will have full swing."
DRESS TO BE INFORMAL
Frank says further: "Since there will be very few guests in the hotel there is no necessity for formal clothes. Probably some of the girls would like to bring dinner dresses, but evening dresses will certainly not be necessary, and there will be no opportunity for the men to wear dinner clothes."
SPECIAL GUESTS
Frank has invited the Hopkins and the Dickeys to reune with us, and we are delighted that both have accepted. The Hopkins will both be with us during the entire period, and the Dickeys have signed up for at least 24 hours, and Frank adds: "I am hoping very much that they can make it longer for it would give the class an opportunity to talk with them informally and get better acquainted, and I also believe they would enjoy it."
