SUNDAY, JUNE 30

1:00_ciass Picnic, arranged under the supervision of George Frost, with a two-pound lobster a person as the piece de resistance.
Which sounds to this reporter like a gala week-end. As for attendance, the indications all point to a record-breaking figure. Don Mix writes under date of May 7 that "As it stands today, and admittedly the returns are far from complete, there will be a total of 217 attending the Reunion, comprised of 106 classmates, 70 wives, and 41 children. Both Tom Cleveland and I estimate that by the time the end of June rolls around, our total attendance will top 250." As mentioned before, stories in this column are subject to change, and shortly before you peruse this blast, you will (according to plans) have received complete and last-minute details via another Alumni Fund Newsletter from the pen of Bill Codding and via another 1921 Reunion mailing piece. If you have not already returned your card saying that you're definitely coming, you are urged to take action just as soon as you read this column. Tom Cleveland informs this column that the Class has to make its commitments a couple of weeks before the DYNAMIC 25th REUNION, as to the definite number who will be on hand for each one of the dinners scheduled. So you can see that he.must have your reply about as soon as you receive this issue, if you want to be fed. Please mail the card today.
Tom Cleveland reports on May 6 that returns from distant points are most encouraging. Says our genial Reunion Chairman:
A card just arrived from Tom Staley saying that he and his daughter are journeying from Kansas City. Gene Leonard hopes to come on from Minneapolis. Mick Shoup and Ralph Ruder are driving from Colorado Springs. Ky Frost and Joe Vance will be on from Detroit. Furb Haight is coming all the way from California. Luke Boggess is planning the trek from Missouri, and there will be a lot more from distant places who will be on hand to take in '21's DYNAMIC 25th. A grand letter from Jimmie Jones from Kittanning, Penna., assures me he will be there. I think this is Jimmie's first time back.
Two days later Tom sent another letter, in the nature of a postscript, adding the news that the Hub crowd is "having a pre-Reunion party May 22 at Symphony Hall, Boston, which is officially Dartmouth Night at the 'Pops.' Already thirty 1921 reservations have been made, and I have no doubt there will be more. I understand the New York crowd is planning a pre-Reunion party, too." Again Tom predicts a record-breaking turn-out for the DYNAMIC 25th, but urges any '21ers who have not made reservaticms by the time the June issue of the MAGAZINE comes out, to do so immediately, "so that we can take care of them in great shape."

Ned Price, our veteran observer of the '21 scene from his vantage point as Alumni Fund Agent, writes: "Did you know that Coot Carder is now a captain in the Navy? So Ort Hicks tells me. I suppose you know all about Hubbell and Hicks traveling around the country to attend the various class agents' dinners on their special mission." Both of which items are news of the first water to this reporter This column has, however, picked up for you a couple of Washington items.
