1928

When you read this, the Tremendous Thirtieth will probably be under way, so all we can say is we wish you were going to be in Hanover with us. You'd have a grand time.

The annual class officers meetings brought six '28ers back to Hanover May 3-4 for a very pleasant pre-reunion weekend. In the group were President John Phillips and Peggy, Treasurer Craig Haines and Eleanor, Newsletter Editor Jack Herpel and Cornie, Class Agent Cal Billings, Bill Morton, Chairman of the Alumni Fund Committee, and your secretary.

After a reception Friday afternoon by President and Mrs. Dickey, the 185 class officers went to a banquet at the Hanover Inn and heard President Dickey speak. Meanwhile the wives dined in the Hovey Grill and were entertained by Coach Bob Blackman. Afterwards, Bill and Margaret Kimball led the '28ers to their house for the rest of the evening.

After a full schedule of meetings Saturday morning, there was a choice of six sports to watch in the afternoon. Late in the afternoon a cocktail party was held in the '28ers' rooms at the Norwich Inn. In addition to the visiting firemen listed above, Curley and Laura Sadler and Herb and Mimi Sensenig were present. Unfortunately the Ballards, Breyfogles and Kimballs had previous engagements. In the evening the 300 officers and wives went to Commons and, with Bill Morton presiding, heard a panel of five men present in detail the plans for the Hopkins Center.
