REUNION HISTORY
THE Class of 1930, which turned out 681 strong (225 men) for its Big 25th, made reunion history in more than numbers. First 25-year class to be guests of the College for a preliminary day, 1930 put on two Hanover Holiday panels of its own and also staged impressive literary and art exhibitions - all emphasizing that the educational links with Dartmouth are still strong. A notable weekend was topped off with the presentation to the College of a record Class Memorial Fund of $150,000, as part of a 25th-year combined fund of $172,800.
The kids had their own programs. . .
