The Fifty-Fifth reunion has come and gone from the standpoint of numbers Ninety One did not do so bad as the following were present: Allison, Bugbee, Dearborn, Lord, O'Brien, Rowe, Stanley, Sturgis, Tewksbury and Willey.
who left college at the end of his freshman year, came back fifty-eight years later from Houston, Texas.
Any reunion with a small number present means that the boys sit around, tell stories, inquire for the absent ones, and perhaps wonder how many will be present five years from now. All of this Ninety-One reunioners did and were happy or sad in the doing. The response of those present to the needs of the treasurer and secretary was just what the secretary needed to encourage him to carry on!
The inclement weather just before the time set for the Commencement Exercises so delayed the exercises that most of the older classes failed to enter the procession and sit on the platform to listen to the speaker of the day, Mr. Stassen.
The reunion banquet was served in the D. O. C. cabin so beautifully situated at the northerly end of Occom Pond. Eighty-Nine banqueted in the same room with Ninety-One —as Dearborn was of Eighty-Nine and spent less than the whole of senior year with NinetyOne, he has naturally felt his particular friendships were in Eighty-Nine although no Ninety-One man has been in closer touch both financially and as a correspondent as has Ned with the secretary-treasurer.
Following the banquet Eighty-Nine put on an interesting stereoptican show of many pictures that "Prexy" Bartlett had gathered and several of the Class of Ninety-One benefitted by the showing.
Front seats for Ninety-One had been reserved in Webster Hall for the delightful "melar-drama" the Dartmouth Players enacted and to use an old expression, "A good time was enjoyed by all." It was so evident that right would prevail that there were no emotional fatalities among the older members of the audience.
