1954
Thanks to the Christmas mails this year's shortest month finds your Secretary with one of the longest lists of class notes we have had for some time. In mid-December the Executive Committee met in the New York City Dartmouth Club and reviewed Class business, a sizable chunk of which concerned the June reunion. On hand were Pete Geithner, BenBowden, Kev Sullivan, Jon Moore, John Heston, John Heyn, Ken Patterson and your correspondent.
Tentative reunion plans for the weekend of June 17, 18, 19 were inviting. The program ranges from casual get-togethers to the Class Banquet; from a boat race among '54, '55 and '56 to a hangover breakfast in the ever-active beer tent. A visit with the Dartmouth Players is to be tossed in for good measure.
