IN HANOVER JULY 26TH-28TH

Kip Higley has sent us a detailed program for the postponed 20th Reunion in Hanover, July 26-28. His assistants, so far, are Ruff Miller, in charge of the Hanover arrangements, and Lois Hersey, who will arrange the weekend activities for the wives. Here is the program as outlined by Kip:—

Friday, July 26

Arrival and registration at dormitory to be announced Tent will be up and the Inn management has agreed to take care of the beer (if any).

6:30 to 7:00 P.M.

Class Banquet at the Inn

6:30 to 7:00 P.M. pinner for the ladies at D.C.C. House

8:30 P.M.

President's reception at residence (Gym in case of rain). Sherm Baldwin (Class of '23's Reunion) wants to stage a "Hum" with '25 and '26 and this will probably follow the President's reception.

10:00 P.M.

Alumni dance run by college at the gym. (If any of the brothers still care or can.)

Saturday, July 27 8:30 to 9:30 A.M.

Coffee and doughnuts (and di-card) at the tent. After lunch (on your own), Storr's Pond—Ross McKinney's Cabin—beer, baseball, swimming.

6:00 P.M.

Still at Storr's End—Barbecue—-This should be the high spot and we are extremely fortunate to have been able to arrange this event.

8:30 to 9:30 P.M.

Play in Webster—for those awake and interested.

Sunday, July 28 8:30 to 9:30 A.M. Ditto Saturday

10:00 A.M.

Memorial Service with '23, '25, '26—probably at Rollins Chapel with Bishop John Dallas.

While this appears to be a rather full schedule so much of it is optional that we're sure no one will feel that he is "over-organized" or regimented. The real meat in the coconut is the dinner Friday night and the barbecue Saturday afternoon. Somewhere along the line a class meeting will be held, the time to be announced by the class officers.

No costumes will be ordered—nothing satisfactory is obtainable, and besides—

We are tentatively figuring a tax of $15 which, if at all possible, will-include wives. Of course everyone is on his own with the room expense. See you all in Hanover, July 26-28

HANOVER HOLIDAY

Start now to plan a vacation trip to New England during the latter part of July and spend a few days in Hanover before our class Reunion in order to attend the Hanover Holiday. Briefly, the program runs something like this. In the morning, at 9.30 o'clock, there is a talk by a member of the faculty with a bull session afterward, during the lunch period. Your afternoon is free and it is not necessary to tell you how much there is to do in Hanover during the lovely summer weather. In the evening there is another talk followed by a bull session. It's a grand party and as there will be a gang from our class on hand, Monday, July 22, through Wednesday.—Hope you will be there to enjoy a Hanover Vacation.

TREASURER'S REPORT

Dick Henry reports that the finances of the class are in top shape. Dues have been collected during the year from 295 members, an increase of 7 over the preceding year. Subscriptions to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE now number 377, these going to all dues payers, fund contributors, and members in uniform. The cash in the treasury has increased during the year by $128 to a total of $1350. Outstanding commitments are two publications to be issued soon—the book recording the activities of the classmates who served in the Armed Forces, and the Class Directory. Dick expresses his thanks to all those who participated in his dues campaign just closed.

Don Coyle, back with the New York Trust Co., tells of a recent visit to the Middlewest. He saw Ax Coffin in Chicago, who by the way plans to be on hand for the Reunion. In Des Moines he saw Owls Keyes who is a vice president of lowa's largest bank, the Iowa-Des Moines National Bank. His son has just entered the Army. Bill Buchanan hopes to be East for the Reunion.

Charlie Holbrook resigned recently from the American Broadcasting Co. and with two former Navy men, Gerald Stetson and Richard Washington, he is establishing a broadcasting station in Berlin, N. H., called the White Mountain Broadcasting Co. Work has already begun on the station, to be known as WBNH. Incidentally, this is about ten miles from his new home in Shelburne near the Maine border at the foot of the Presidential Range, and Bunny and Charlie are planning to move to Shelburne June 1. He asks that classmates stop in when doing their vacation tours. We all extend to Charlie the best of luck in his new venture.

Johnny Woodridge has charge of loans and investments for the Irving Trust Cos., and is now conveniently located in a branch office at the corner of 42nd Street and Park Avenue across the street from Grand Central. He catches his commuting train to Larchmont across the street Ted Morehouse is now in New York City as Sales Director for Young America Films, Inc. He's living at 104 Cassilis Avenue, Bronxville, New York Received a nice letter from George Anderson on the very impressive stationery of The First National Bank of Elkhart, Ind. Hope George and some of the members in the Middlewest will be able to arrange an Eastern vacation so they can join us in Hanover for the postponed 20th in July. Remember the date, George, July 26th, 27th and 28th. VimHeegaard's twin boys, who are just over eighteen, have transferred out of the V-5 program and are now in the regular Navy. He hopes that they will be out of the service by fall so that they can continue their college education. .... Harry Holman is president of Scranton's in Rochester, the outstanding book and stationery store in up-state New York. Harry comes to New York frequently and has recently joined the Dartmouth Club.

NEW YORK DINNER

New faces at the annual Dartmouth dinner at the Hotel Commodore on April 11th were the following: Mike Fitch, just back from the wars (Chemical Warfare Division), Bob McCallum, back from the Medical Division of the Air Corps, Al Stopford, who happened to be in the East. He's undecided whether he will stay around the big city or return to the wide open spaces of the West. Ha.rla.7i Miller, from Rochester, also made an appearance. He happened to be down on business and tells us he comes to New York frequently in connection with his furniture business. The following are the old stand-bys who also attended the dinner and listened to a very stirring speech by President Dickey. It was one of the best of a long series of Dartmouth alumni dinners—Curt Bird, Dave Dyche, Doug Craig,Don Coyle, Bob Fistere, Al Hadlock, StubReed, Doug Graham, Frank Smith, CharlieHolbrook, Bob Wilkinson, Johnny Woodbridge, Frankie Granata, George Traver, SteveStevenson, Harry Mills, Ed Willi.

ALUMNI FUND

You will read this about the 10th of June, just before the closing date for the Alumni Fund campaign. I hope everyone in the class will take seriously his responsibility to Dartmouth, and if you haven't already contributed, will make a substantial contribution this year to the Fund drive. If you've already made a major donation and feel that you can give a little more, please do so. Let's get in back of Mike Watkins and his hard-working Committee and put the Class of '24 over the top.

Hope you all have a very pleasant summer and I'll see you in Hanover in July.

NEW EXECUTIVE. Robert H. Bishop '25 was recently appointed Director of Sales for Sylvania Electric Products Inc. He has been associated with them since 1936.
