1907
An informal off-year class reunion has become standard practice for '07. Again there will be a gathering of '07 men and wives, small in numbers but long on enthusiasm, on June 18, 19 and 20. Why not give yourself and your wive the pleasure of a reunion weekend in Hanover? As usual, room reservations should be made in advance through The Bursar, Hanover, N. H. For further information, write to your class secretary.
Our Portland classmate, Arthur Spear, continues to get around. This winter he visited Montego Bay, Jamaica, British West Indies, and other Caribbean points. Recently he attended the Republican Convention in Bangor!
Your Secretary feels that he would be selfish if he failed to share the following message from Bob Lewis with each classmate:
"Hola, Dick: — (y Juan);"No boy mucho decir, pero no recogerse comoUstedes.
"No grande-grande ninos; ninguno excitando."Aprecio vuestros recordar mi - y buenos voluntad a Vd.
Seguro - 1907."

Don Williams has had a long bout with virus pneumonia. Don is winning, we are happy to report. George Liscomb will call on Don and compare experiences. Bill Smart had an acute appendix operation in March and has made a fine recovery.
JUNE IS THE FINAL MONTH of the Alumni Fund campaign. There can be no doubt about its success and 1907 will have contributed, as always, to the successful result. Historically, '07 has an enviable record in total dollars contributed. Its participation record is less praiseworthy. That means that some '07 men have not contributed regularly, and a few have not contributed at all. Yet most of these classmates are known to be devoted to Dartmouth and to appreciate what Dartmouth has done for them. In most cases, a gift to Dartmouth is not a hardship, and a gift of any amount will be most welcome, and will bolster the '07 participation record. It would be a fine thing if those who have not been regular contributors in the past, for whatever reason, should make a small gift, at least, this year. Your regional fund agent, or Phil Chase, will be happy to receive your gift, and to list you as a participant.
At meetings of the Associations of Class Officers in Hanover on April 28-30, '07 was represented by the following: Jim and Mrs.O'Neill, Phil and Mrs. Chase, Sam Bartlett, and Dick Lane. Judge and Mrs. McLane were unable to attend. An informal dinner of the present '07 officers, including Dick Southgate, a former class secretary, was enjoyed at Hovey Grill. Harry Wellman, also a former secretary, was unable to join the party.
Shortly after Phil and Mrs. Chase reached Hanover, Phil disappeared. It was rumored that he was obliged to finance the cost of a parking violation.
