1928

The Penn game reunion was a great success. The weather was perfect, the foliage on Balch Hill was beautiful and the arrangements were tops. What more could you want?

Twenty-seven members of the Class, plus wives, children and guests brought the total number attending one or more functions of the reunion to 62. In addition, at least eight more '28ers were seen at the game but had to hurry away.

The Norwich Inn and its motel had been booked last spring by President George Pasfield and his Arrangements Committee Chairman, Herb Sensenig. Friday night everyone gravitated to Craig and Eleanor Haines' room - it was amazing how so many people get in one room. Jim Campion came over to talk for a little while - we all felt sad about Helen's sudden death on September 14, which is such a terrible loss for Jim and the Class. Jim has closed their new home and is living in his former home with Jim 3rd and his family.

Saturday morning after breakfast at the Sensenigs where we spent the weekend, there was visiting to do in Hanover — a call at the Admissions Office, a trip to the newest dormitories to deliver boxes from home to a freshman then back to Norwich for lunch before boarding the bus chartered by the class to deliver us to the stadium, a smart move on the committee's part which eliminated the headache of trying to find a parking place within a mile of the stadium. Seen at the game were: Hank Gere, John Gulian, Marty Fitzpatrick, Jack Heston, Bill Lary and Larry Kenny, none of whom were able to stay for the reunion activities. After the game we boarded our bus and were whisked back to the Norwich Inn, where the bar was open and the center of attention was a tremendous 22-lb. salmon which Jim Campion caught in Canada and gave to the class for its cocktail party hors d'oeuvres.

During dinner at the Inn it was voted unanimously to hold a similar reunion next year at the time of the Brown game, which will be in Hanover. President Pasfield and Herb Sensenig got a round of applause for their work in arranging everything so perfectly. George Pasfield introduced Earl Fain, of Dallas, Texas, who had come the longest distance; two ex-presidents, Rupe Thompson and John Phillips; and Bill Morton, whose son helped win the ball game. After dinner we were privileged to hear The Engineers, a Glee Club group, sing a few songs.

Present with spouse were: George Emery, Red Edgar, John Flanagan, Craig Haines, Milt Hoefle. Jack Kenerson, George Klein, John Noeltner, Gene Magenis, Bill Morton, Tim Paige, John Phillips, George Pasfield, Herb Russell, Herb Sensenig, Os Skinner, Bill Treanor, Rupe Thompson, Hank Walker, Brougham Wallace, Bill Williams and Si Warner. Without wives were: Earl Fain, Red Jenkins and son, Amby McLaughlin and guest, and Topper Robinson and two guests.

Pennsylvania had the largest group at dinner, with 16, including lovely Hope Pasfield and her Dartmouth date, Bill Williams' guests (and adopted '28ers), Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Davis, Vera Flanagan's cousin and her husband. Thirteen were from Massachusetts and ten from New York.

Earl Fain's son Earl III, who graduated from Dartmouth in 1955 and spent two years in the Army (with the ski patrol in Germany), is now getting his M.A. in Geology at Southern Methodist University. ... Si Warner's son is a junior at M.I.T Milt Hoefle's son, Frank, is a second year medical student at Dartmouth. ... Ambie McLaughlin, who has been commuting from Littleton N. H., to Hanover since he accepted the position o£ Trustee-Director of Development of the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital, is looking for a house in Hanover. His older son, Ambie, a Dartmouth junior, is in Mary Hitchcock Hospital with tuberculosis.

We saw a man at a distance in Hanover sporting a professorial beard - turned out to be Bill Ballard, who acquired the disguise during the summer. Tim Paige's daughter, Dare, is a senior at Wellesley, daughter Pat is a sophomore at the University of Colorado. Tim's two younger children, Carolyn and Tim, were at the game. ... John and Esther Noeltner were attending their first '28 reunion. John is vice president of the Emulso Corp., Buffalo, makers of cleaners, waxes and disinfectants. Their daughter, Joyce, is married and has three children, and their son is a senior at Bowling Green University in Ohio.

Mort Jennings was elected president of the Dartmouth Alumni Club Officers Association at its annual meeting in Hanover, September 27. ... Gov. Lane Dwinell is chairman of federal-state action committee which met in Hanover September 8-9, with 11 state governors present and 30 federal officials, including Secretary of the Treasury Anderson and Secretary of Health, Welfare and Education Fleming. The committee was organized two years ago to study problems of federal and state governmental relations. Lane and Betty left the day after the conference for a month's vacation in Europe.

From Stony Jackson in the Office of Admissions we learned that five sons of '28ers are in the freshman class: Albert H. Cantril, William H. Edgar, Timothy H. Hankins, William F. Marx and Alan M. Pease. Congratulations boys, the competition is getting tougher every year.
