Forty-Fourth Reunion Those who have returned to Hanover each year since the 40th insist that there shall be a 44th this June. It will again be informal, relaxing and unorganized, and again it will be a happy experience. Some who were present last year will be missing, but others will close the ranks. Come if you can. It will be worth it. To reserve a dormitory room, apply to the College Bursar. The charge will be approximately $2.00 per person per night payable in advance. Wives are welcome. The dates are June 22-23. Time Marches On
