1906

Twenty-six stalwart men were present at the pre-Harvard game class dinner in Boston. The dinner was held at the Algonquin Club through the courtesy of Ned French and Bobbie Wallace. Some of the "regulars" were unable to make it, but to fill the gap were several new faces, among them Cheney, Dwyer,Wardwell and Warton. The following is the complete roster;— Blood, Chapin, Cheney,Cornell, Cooke, Dennison, Dwyer, Fitts,Charlie French, Ned French, Hartman, EricKelly, McGrail, Main, Milham, Neal, Powers,Rainie, Redman, Richardson, Russ, Joe Smith,Wallace, Wardwell, Warton and Whittemore. Our lone guest was Nathan Fitts, Ralph's only child.

After an excellent dinner, the class retired to one of the rooms to hold our meeting, but before Dave could call us to order we were invaded by a horde of 1905 sophomores, among whom were Jim Donnelly, Sliver Hatch, TomKeady, Roy Parkinson, Bill Clough, Ed Estes, and others. A football "beef" with TomKeady leading ensued and soon we were all back on the plains of Hanover hashing over the good old days.

Dave finally called the meeting to order and the class formally approved the transfer of $1,700.00 from the class treasury to our Fiftieth Reunion Fund. The class also voted to appoint Halsey Edgerton assistant treasurer of the class. A vote of thanks was extended to our Green Messenger for his excellent work on the alumni fund.

All one has to do is make a definite statement in print and up jumps the devil. BobWardiuell is two offspring ahead of CrawBishop as he can count eleven grandchildren.

With practically no advance warning the following members assembled to greet Dave: Mike Edgerton,Gordon, Kingsley, McGrail, Nuelle, Pratt,Redman, Richardson, Russ and Bill Knibbs of '05.
