How to Make Reservations for Reunion

For the Hanover Reunion, you will merely need to return a card which will be sent you early in April from the Alumni Office in Hanover together with the official college catalogue of events. For Whitefield, make reservations direct with Mrs. Frank S. Dodge, Mountain View House, Whitefield, N. H., as soon as you can be definite about the dates on which you will be there. Again it may be stated that Mary will open the house Friday noon, June 15, and will be glad to have class- mates and families any time between then and June 22 when the Hanover Reunion starts.

The picture of Keene's in Hanover Center shows where we will fire the opening shot of our 40th Reunion in Hanover. This will be the picnic set for 5:00 p.m., Friday, June 28. This will allow for those driving from Boston, New York, Whitefield or points in between or adjacent thereto, leaving their places of abode in the morning and arriving in time for the picnic in the afternoon. Keene's is an attractive hostelry, which has been developed by Bob Keene, who was formerly engaged in the reproduction of pictures of handsome models, attractive old men and other features utilized by many in the advertising fraternity to give their advertisements the right sort of pictorial appeal. Having sickened of the New York City life, he came to Hanover and bought what was called Jim Spencer's farm (when we were in College), located in Han- over Center, which he has developed as a re- sort for skiing parties in the winter or other gatherings during the rest of the year. This old farm is located at one of the most beauti- ful views of the Connecticut Valley of any spot in Hanover and will remind you much of the view you get from Mart Remsen's and Warren Agry's farms in Etna. We shall be having the place entirely to ourselves and we are ready to guarantee a good time for all. The directions will be furnished as how to reach the spot but even without them, one needs only to find the many signs "Keene's" which appear along the different intersections in the highway from Hanover to Etna and to Keene's.

A statement made in the last issue of the MAGAZINE to the effect that Ray and CoraTaylor would be traveling the longest distance to the Reunion must be retracted in view of the following message from Tim Vaitses: "We are planning to attend our first class reunion this year. In fact we have already booked on the P A A El Presidente arriving in New York, June 7. Even this is early for me as we really only work from March through some- time in June. However, there is no alternative if we are to participate in a class reunion be- fore we get too old and decrepit."

Other statements and opinions received by the various members of the executive com- mittee indicate the point of view of some who've written concerning their plans for Reunion.

Cap Hedges: "The schedule of the 1911 re- union sounds super and wonderful. Coleen and I are planning to attend and we will ar- rive in Whitefield June 15 or 16. From White- field we will go on down to Hanover, as the schedule calls for, on Friday, June 22."

Ken Clark: "The reunion arrangements are splendid. Elizabeth and I will be on hand in Whitefield as well as in Hanover, ready of course to help in any way that you may re- quest."

Sarge Eaton: "Of course Esther and I will be there in Whitefield for a week, and after- wards in Hanover for the reunion."

Ben Stout: "Alice and I plan to be at Whitefield and Hanover for the reunion and hope to be at Whitefield at opening day, so that we may have the pleasure of greeting all 1911 members as they arrive. Both Alice and I have been looking forward to this re- union for the last five years and I know we are going to have a very pleasant get-together. I will try my best to convince Mort Grover and Gene Fuller that they cannot afford to miss our 40th reunion."

George Morris: "Mary Dodge's willingness to open the hotel for what is virtually a pri- vate house party is a generosity which would take a great many considerations to make me reject it."

Chub Sterling: "Katherine and I will re- port at the Mountain View House on June 15, ready for come what may. On June 22, promptly at 5:00 o'clock we shall report at the class picnic at Keene's in Etna to begin the Hanover festivities, and oh! boy, we sure are looking forward to both the Whitefield jamboree and the Hanover reunion."

King Moses: "God willing, I'll be at our 40th Reunion."

Troy Parker: "Will be at our 40th Re- union."

Oscar Needham: "Hope to see you at our 40th."

Dick Stevens: "See you in June—l9sl

Spim Morris: "Spim Morrises and BurtCoopers, including Jane, are at Orlando, Fla., for a vacation. We all hope to be in White- field in June."

Mac Rollins: "To my best knowledge and belief, Mildred and I will be at both White- field and Hanover. That's assuming that noth- ing personally or otherwise catastrophic hits either of us in the meantime. I would ap- preciate, therefore, a reservation for a com- fortable rocking chair in a sunny corner of the porch at the Mountain View."

Mary Dodge with reservations for next sum- mer in excess of any year to date together with a large waiting list, is having a little re- fresher by means of a vacation of two or three weeks in Florida, where she will see Schuyler and Ginny. Schuyler is assistant manager of the Fenway Hotel in Dunedin. Before leaving, she assured us that she was looking forward with great longing to the arrival of 1911 in June and that she wants to furnish any kind of entertainment, picnics or arrange card parties or whatever the group would like to do and would enjoy most. The executive com- mittee would appreciate any suggestions that any classmate may have as to this subject matter, that plans may be made in advance.

It may be of interest to know that in go- ing over past reunion records of the group, 23 men have attended every 5-year reunion since graduating. Here they are: Agry, Bur- leigh, Clark (Ken), Conroy, Cooper, Crooks, Dunham, Gardner, Gooding, Harvey, Hawk- ridge, Mathes, Morris, Partridge, Pearson, Reilly, Rollins, Russell, Sanderson, Sissin and Stucklen. To this should really be added two others who started for our 35th Reunion but sudden illness prevented their arrival. Chuck Emerson got as far as North Conway, where it was found he had a ruptured ap- pendix and spent his time making a re- markable recovery there. Josh Clark started for reunion but had to turn back at the last moment. Then there are 300 others who have attended all but one of these reunions, which gives us a group of about 55 faithful at- tendants in all cases. At our last reunion there were five classmates who never before had been to a reunion. We hope that there will be at least five men at our 40th who have never been to a reunion. There are 20 men in the class, all interested, from whom this number of five men might come. Let's en- courage them.

King Moses reported to Chug that he had spent last summer at a Franciscan monastery near Garrison, N. Y., where he enjoyed the congenial job o£ copying and editing a pretty weighty tome on Romanism vs. Anglicanism. King says that it's a far cry from Blue Book and sentimental radio scripts.

Paul Briggs' father, Alton E. Briggs 'B5, died at the age "of 86 recently at his home in Chelsea.

Just having reported that Jack Ingersoll was retaining his Boston address, he writes that he has moved to Cranston, R. 1., where his home address is 49 Marden Street. His plant is three miles away, where the address is Federal Products Corporation, 1144 Eddy Street, Providence 1, R. I.

Ed Keeler has moved from Winnetka to ,his old home town of Rockford, 111., where his new home is at 1531 National Avenue. He says to send any mail to Room 1740, 135 So. La- Salle St., Chicago 3, which is his Chicago business office to which he will be commuting each week for two or three days. He's going to give more time to the Rockford Coal and Fuel Cos., which is the old family business and includes the operation of several branch es- tablishments besides the one in Rockford. . .

The Art Jacksons announced the marriage of their daughter Martha Ann to Mr. Conrad Goodale White in Winchester, Mass., on Feb- ruary 24.

A letter from Ruth Hastings tells us of the plans which she and Rollie had made for re- union and how much she and Rollie had looked forward to it. She adds tributes to Rolland's many friends all over the country who expressed their affection and admiration for him. She was especially pleased at the practice we now have of contributing to the Memorial Fund from the Class treasury for deceased classmates instead of trying to get flowers to the family at the time of the fu- neral. She writes, "He always felt that the Class Memorial Fund is a very wonderful thing and I know that he would be espe- cially happy to have the Class of 1911 Pav that tribute to him. Will you please give my most grateful appreciation to all the men to whom Rolland has always been devoted, and whose friendship he has so greatly valued?

THE SNOW WON'T BE THERE but everything else will be the same at Keene's, scene of one of the parties arranged for the 1911 Reunion next June.
