Prexy Red Edgar and his Reunion Committee have done exactly what they set out to donamely, plan a Reunion which would have a nice sense of balance between planned activi. ties and plenty of leisure time for each man to follow his own personal inclinations while in Hanover.
Several classmates are planning to spend the early part of reunion week, Monday, June 13 through Thursday attending the tenth annua] Hanover Holiday. Dormitory rates are $2 a day and the fee for the series of eight talks is only $5. For further information write to Herbert W. Hill in Hanover.
