Our Forty-Fifth Reunion will be in June 9-11, 1958, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, at which time the classes of 1912, 1914 and 1918 will also be in Hanover celebrating their respective reunions.

Plan now on your trip. Time is getting short and we will not have too many more reunions. Don't miss this or any more.

The new mid-week reunion plan permits the College to do a much better job, they say, in respect to feeding and housing classes, and permits also your enjoyment of Hanover in a more relaxed atmosphere as it is not tremendously crowded on these particular dates.

From now on each Newsletter will have information, program, lists of those planning on the trip and suggestions from any and all.
