1911
The latest addition to the Reunion events is a buffet luncheon for the gals to take place at the Agry farm in Etna, Saturday noon while the men attend the alumni luncheon and meeting at the gym. This will be a treat for the ladies to see the Agry farm, which has now'become a most attractive and modern home. The men will doubtlessly join their wives after their meeting, where they, also, can take in the gorgeous view of the Connec ticut Valley and the Green Mountains, visible from the Agry front porch, until it is time for the Class banquet at the Outing Club. By the time this issue of the MAGAZINE reaches you, all plans will have been made and, presumably, all reservations made in Hanover and Whitefield. However, in case you have not sent in notification of intention to reune, please do so at once and be sure to make your reservation with L. G. Porter for rooms in Hanover at $2 per person, per day and, also, with Mary Dodge at Whitefield. This list of those who have signed up for Reunion in addition to those given in the last issue follow herewith (an asterisk, indicating wives will be present and dagger sign, showing his or her presence at Whitefield): Ballou*, Butler*┼, Card*┼, Chamberlain*, Dunning*┼, Les Gibson*, Griswold*, Hart*┼, Kimball*, Moses, O'Leary*┼-, Pearson*-]-, Mahl Hill*, Poole* and Waterbury*. At present it looks like a party of a total of about 160 in Hanover with about 40 couples going to Whitefield and staying from one to seven days. We'll be seeing you.
You will recall Josh Clark's delightful approach to any subject in which he is interested, which usually results in your aiding in the cause which he is pressing. An illustration of that is his recent task in building up the enrollment in the Dartmouth Educational Association. Many of you have cooperated with him in this venture. His interest in this started from his having a copy of the Annual Report of the Association and following the suggestion that he send it to some other Dartmouth man (the response on this being 100% within two days), he enlarged his mailing list and set himself a quota of bringing the total membership to 767. When he started, the number was 191. On May 1, it was 751 and he now finds himself undertaking to raise that to 1,000. In connection with this, a letter from "Mort" Tuttle, president of the Association writes as follows: "Josh Clark has put his mighty powers of persuasion at the service of the Dartmouth Educational Association. As a result, he has in the last year raised the membership in this loan association from less than 200 to more than 750. In acknowledgment of this performance, he has been awarded a Vice Presidency of the Association, Summa Cum Laude and Magna Cum Laude."

Dutch Waterbury says, "Helen and I will surely see you in June. It will be good to see the guys, most of whom I've not seen in thirty years."

Tim Vaitses was due to leave Brazil the first of May doing a little sightseeing in Peru, Mexico City and other points before visiting his son Bill who is at the American Institute for Foreign Trade in Phoenix.

The familiar story from nearly all the men was about their good grandchildren but so far the record goes to Bendy Griswold and KenKnapp who boast of nine each. Can anybody top this?
