1910

Although it comes rather late in the life for a college class, the 50-Year reunion gives more and more evidence of being a very powerful - possibly the "most" - powerful force in genuine renewal of friendships and in pride of being a part of the class. On every hand are the proofs. Men who had not seen each other nor had any kind of contacts for many years - some for fifty - derived an enthusiastic satisfaction in the opportunities to sit down and talk over old times, life experiences and late-in-life philosophies. The mellowing influence of age helped a great deal in making the 50-year event a memorable one. Now, after fifty years have passed, and our number has been reduced by one-half, we are more than casually interested in each other and happy to be 'in the' group. There is more correspondence among Tenners and increasing interest in knowing what goes on in the life of all of us. We are definitely concerned about having the record of the Class measure up better than ever. The fifty-year reunion is something to look forward to - and an even greater something to look upon from this side.

The past few months seem to have been a period of calling for medical attention to a long list of Tenners. We do not know that we have heard of all who have experienced trouble but we hope there are no other names to be added. Nearly all of the following have been hospitalized: George Allen,Charlie Bardwell, Bones Jones, Charlie Libbey, Burt Miller, Win Nay, Scott Perry, Jack Richmond, Harry Sandberg, Vic Willis and Herb Wolff. Latest reports from all indicate that they are on the mend though some are progressing slowly.

The round-up of Tenners for the night-before-Harvard-game reunion gathering did not find as many fellows as usually attend. Although advance count of "Yes" replies looked good last-minute changes in plans, due to sickness and calls out of town, cut us down to the "perfect" number of seven: Heinie Cushman, Charlie Fay, Ted Hill,Bones Jones, Russ Meredith, Beezle Parker and Herb Woods. Cush says he is retired but he goes to the office quite regularly - just can not quit the insurance game. Charlie heads up a gang of John Hancock Insurance Company retired workers whom the company "loans" for the clerical work connected with the annual United Fund drive in Boston. Ted Hill is finally giving in to his retirement, will by next spring be a permanent resident of Maine where he has equipped his summer home for all-year living. His location is near Bucky Allen and Pineo Jackson so they get together once in a while. Bones is on the job regularly helping feed Bostonians via Schrafft's restaurants. BeezleParker and Herb Woods, though officially retired, continue active in community services of many kinds. As for your ChairmanSec. there are still at least four irons in the fire to keep him out of mischief. Would that more were at this affair so we could pass along items of news which so many will not send to headquarters.

On his reply card, Cheever Comey sends word from Fort Myers, Fla., where the tough "lady" Donna, held forth, that "No news is good news — just cleaning up after Donna. Town will be in shape to welcome N. L. Champs." So, apparently, Cheever's home did not leave town in the blow. That is good news. From Art Rollins: "Wife not well. I've got dishpan hands, detergent burns, housemaid's knee and almost everything except lace on my shorts. Nominated for my third term in New Hampshire Legislature with no opposition ticket. Busier in retirement than I was on the job but the older we grow the less it takes to keep us busy."

Inky Taylor "reached the statutory retirement age (70) in January but was re-hired by the Attorney General to represent the government in important litigation in the Federal Courts throughout the country. The assignments are interesting and important and I hope to continue for some years yet." More power to you, Inky, say we all.

Speaking of "age" as many of us do, Rev.Hal Robinson writes, "I have just attended the Governor's Conference on Aging in Sacramento. This conference is in preparation for the President's Conference on Aging to be held in Washington next January." So that is one of Hal's extracurricular activities.

A couple of hidden facts re June Reunion: When Charlie and Mary Thomas arrived Sunday morning with their son, John, they were not only attending the Class festivities; they were bringing their son to his birthplace. Charlie remained in Hanover after graduation, to work for a few years and John was born in '14. During the reunion week there was an art exhibition by the group of local devotees. Our Larry Bankart not only had several of his works in the exhibit; he sold four thus making reunion expenses for at least a couple of reunions.

In the Boston Herald, a while back there appeared an article, "Visit to Cardigan Mountain School," under the column "Country Correspondence." That is Hap Hinman's "baby" which he has developed into quite an institution. From the story of the visit: "The reason why Cardigan Mountain School has grown and the dream of a certain type school has come true is due to two factors - among others. First, to Harold Hinman goes the credit for dreaming the dream; second, too much credit cannot be accorded the members of the Corporation who have given unstintingly of time, energy and resources." This fall the enrollment reached 125. That capacity is made possible by the addition of a new dormitory. Hap sure has erected a monument of increasing value in the field of education in the Cardigan Mountain School.

Art Lord reading his Boston Herald came across a "Letter to the Editor" titled "Modern Auto Styling Poor in Safety." He read it right down to the end and there he found the name of the writer, MalcolmStanton. His complaint is one all of us will second: the designers' oversight of the fact that the slope of the windshield makes the reflection of the sun on the deck of the instrument panel hit one right in the eye. This makes it extra hazardous because the right side of the road is often in a sort of fog. Max closed his letter with this: "It seems to me there should be some federal agency to supervise these car makers and see that proper safety features are built into all cars instead of letting manufacturers express their whims in any reckless styling they wish." And we suggest that the designers should be required to drive and face the many conditions for which their designs are not designed.
