Those who were able to attend our 60th Reunion were well repaid, although it was a mere shadow of former reunions in size. The location of our rooms on the same corridor f the lan, and the reservation of an 'B6 table of all our meals, made this a real family party, pte avows that he never laughed so much as vhen Biff drank Billy's coffee and ate his "real, because Billy was too absorbed in talkL, to notice it. The four ladies of the party made it seem like a real home affair. So every ffleal was a Class dinner.

We naturally drifted together to the various events, such as President Dickey's reception (so timed as to admit '86 ahead of the crowd); the General Alumni Meeting (where '86 again won the cup for best percentage of attendance); the showing of '89 pictures (which brought to mind familiar faces and scenes); the conferring of degrees at the Bema (where '86 men were given seats on the platform and their ladies in the audience).

One evening was devoted to reports from absentees some of whom, like Howard and Thurston, had intended to be present. Letters were read from Mesdames Frost, Ransom, Goodwin, Stetson, Jenks and others, and calls were received from John & Mrs. Williams, and Newton Howard (Elmer's son) and his son and daughter.

The presence o£ men from every class we knew while in college swelled the reunion for all the others, and the Inn was literally taken over by men over 50 years out of college. Present from 'B6 were Harry Burley, Wm. P. Kelly and Mrs. Kelly, J. W. Newton and Mrs. Newton, A. P. Richmond ajnd daughters Eleanor and Louise (Mrs. Huse), and Norma (Mrs. Leslie P.) Snow.
