1894

Class Reunion - The 65th Hanover, June 12, 13, 14

Friday afternoon, May 1, a service of interment was held in the School Street Cemetery in Lebanon, for the ashes of our classmate, Bertrand A. Smalley. Twelve people were in attendance. Of the class family there were Marden, Stone and Mrs. Stone, C. C. Merrill, who conducted the service, and Mrs. Merrill, Mrs. Grow, and Charlotte Ford Morrison. Of his friends there were Mrs. Paul Brown who had been his homemaker since his wife's death in 1943, and four residents of Lebanon - Mrs. Lane Dwinnell, Mrs. Wayman Spencer, Mr. Nathan Bridgman and his mother Mrs. Daniel Bridgman whose husband had been a close friend of our classmate while he was growing up. A part of the service was the reading of two of B's poems.

Eleven of the 86 men who graduated in June 1894 are living. Ranged from oldest to youngest they are Cassin, Ames, Stone, Grover, Parker, Hall, Colby, C. C. Merrill, Bushee, Knowlton, Marden. Of these it is now (May 4) the definite hope that eight will be present at the Sixty-fifth. The one who will come farthest is Grover, from Florida; and next in distance will be Knowlton, from New Jersey. Two will come from New Hampshire, three from Massachusetts, one from Vermont.

Here are some statistics about these eleven which may not be wholly uninteresting to such outside the class family as may read them:

Occupations: 3 engineers, 2 lawyers, 2 teachers, 2 journalists, 1 in business, 1 in the ministry.

Occupations of fathers: 4 are ministers' sons, 2 farmers', 2 lawyers', 1 journalist's, 1 lumberman's, 1 currier's.

Fraternities: Phi Zeta Mu, 3 out of 17 members in College; Psi Upsilon, 2 out of 9; Delta Kappa Epsilon, 2 out of 11; Phi Delta Theta, 2 out of 10; Alpha Delta Phi, 1 out of ii.

Under protest from one of the wives, the world is being told that six of these men are being cared for by their wives; three by their daughters; one by a sister; and one by nurses in a hospital.
