The Cover

A big green dinosaur strung across the front of the Class of 1946 tent, on Wheelock Street near Topliff Hall, was one of the more visible signs of Reunion Weekend. Whether from June breezes or the tent's five-piece jazz band, Dionysius Dinosaur '46 was a rippling reptile all weekend. PHOTOGRAPH BY ADRIAN BOUCHARD
