1892 Has Successful 55th

THE Class of '92 was prompt in responding to the call to Hanover for its 55th Reunion and by Friday afternoon all of the Class who could come were registered at the headquarters in the Inn where most of us were quartered. Here is the list:

Allen, Clark, Emerson and Mrs. Emerson, Geiger and Mrs. Geiger, Mrs. Hall, Holland and Mrs. Holland, Lamprey, Randall, Rogers, Sargent and Miss Sargent, Strong and Mrs. Strong, Weston and Miss Weston.

The Reunion had a most delightful start, for Mrs. Hall entertained us all most graciously at dinner in her home on Rope Ferry Road. All too soon after dinner we had to move on to the President's Reception for while the hour set for the beginning was 8:30 the President thoughtfully arranged to meet the older classes at eight o'clock. We certainly appreciated this as it gave us time for quietly enjoying the cordial greetings extended to us and the beautiful surroundings in which the reception was held.

Saturday was a day of rain, the only rain of the week end, and it kept many of us around headquarters most of the day. We had planned to follow our usual custom of taking some flowers to Ed Hall's grave on this morning, but the rain prevented our going there. Instead, we had the spray of green and white flowers at headquarters and all gathered there. After a few introductory words by Emerson, a prayer was offered by Sargent and Mrs. Hall spoke of Ed's affection for the class. Later the flowers were taken to the beautiful spot in the cemetery where Ed lies.

Too much rain for a ball game so the only amusement of the afternoon was having the class picture taken in the Inn lounge. Saturday evening came the class dinner—one of Mrs. Hayward's delicious broiled live lobster plates served in the attractive surroundings of the Green Room in Thayer. For the first time, the ladies joined us at the Reunion dinner and it was an innovation that found instant approval and will be continued at all future reunions. After dinner the ladies withdrew and the eleven were gathered around some corner tables for a little business and a lot of good talk. Although President Salinger was unable to be present, he was unanimously re-elected, as was the Secretary Treasurer.

Sunday came the graduating exercises, one feature of which brought a thrill of pride and gratification to one class. This was the bestowal on Sally Drew Hall of the richly deserved Doctorate of Humane Letters.

As a final event we all went up to Lyme, where the Geigers gave us a bounteous luncheon at their charming home, Billaura.

The consensus of opinion seemed to be that it was a fine reunion, more enjoyable than some were afraid it might be in view of our dwindling numbers. We drew a bit closer together—that's all.
