Reunion Week Brings 9 Classes to Hanover

AN innovation which will stretch the traditional "Reunion Weekend" out to a "Reunion Week" this year brings the Classes of '09, '10 and '11 back to Hanover for a Monday-through-Wednesday reunion, June 13-15. Since the war, the number of alumni, wives and children returning for reunions has increasingly taxed local accommodations. With the new plan, it is hoped that the largest attendance in Dartmouth history, expected this June, will enjoy more space and comfort; and that for the first-of-the-week classes, the Hanover Holiday Program will be an additional attraction.

Classes which will be reuning over the weekend, June 17-19, are: 1915, 1930, 1934, 1935, 1936 and 1945. The Class of 1930, which celebrates its 25th reunion, will come a day early, on Thursday, June 16, as guests of the College at a special 25-year-class Hanover Holiday program.

President Dickey will be the speaker at the Alumni Luncheon for the Classes of '09, '10 and '11 on Tuesday, June 14, with Nathaniel G. Burleigh '11, Professor of Industrial Management at Tuck School, presiding. At the luncheon meeting of the General Association of Alumni of Dartmouth College, on Saturday, June 18, Nelson A. Rockefeller '30, president, will preside. In addition to President Dickey's address, Charles E. Griffith '15 of New York, chairman of the Tucker Foundation Fund Committee, will be the speaker on behalf of the alumni. Wives, as they have been for the past three years, are invited to the luncheon.

Following the class dinners on Friday evening, the President's reception for alumni, faculty and their families will be held, with the Alumni Dance scheduled later that evening. Saturday, in addition to the Alumni Luncheon, there are planned class movies, baseball games and more class banquets in the evening, with the Players' performance of Sabrina Fair concluding the day's formal events.

Alumni holding their reunions over Commencement Weekend, June 10, 11 and 12, will be from the Classes of 1895, 1900 and 1905. At the traditional Commencement Luncheon on Saturday, June 11, President Dickey will preside and Charles F. Goodrich '05 of Westfield, N. J., will speak for the Fifty-Year Class. Mr. Goodrich, a member of the Board of Overseers of the Thayer School, is the retired Chief Engineer of the American Bridge Company and holds Dartmouth's honorary Doctorate of Engineering.
