According to plans, our last reunion was held on May 17. We all met at the residence of our past president and honored friend, Horton P. Kennedy '18 who had invited us for cocktails before dinner. We were treated like "kings" and when time came to go out for dinner we had lost both "appetite" and "thirst." Anyway, pleasant surroundings, excellent cocktails and "petits fours," and a "great" host were the prerequisites for a highly successful gathering. In good shape as you can imagine, we drove to the nearby Racing Club de France (right in the heart of the Bois de Boulogne) where an excellent dinner was waiting for us; fortunately enough we have in the group some Parisian gourmets who honored the "MENU" ... du Chef (of course).

Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Alden '33; Mr. and Mrs. George Boswell '39; Mr. Jacques Bry '59; Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Fish '29; Mr. and Mrs. T. Hupper '35; Mr. Horton Kennedy '18; Mr. Robert Lindell '50; Mr. and Mrs. Guy Mallet '43; Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Moore '43; Dr. Pace; Mr. Didier Pineau-Valencienne '56; Mr. Leonard Radio '50; Mr. and Mrs. Ted Steinert '56; Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Jones '29; Mr. and Mrs. Emmett Willis '26.

After a short, humorous speech delivered by President Herbert Fish who had a word for every one present, we discussed plans for our fall picnic. The date. Saturday Sept. 23 at 2 P.M. was chosen. Place to be announced later.

As a result of the rapid growth of our "Dartmouth Club" in Paris, a treasurer, Jacques Bry '59, was elected and immediately went to work.
