1926

Reunion Chairman Walt Rankin has posted us on the high-spots of the plans for our "Delayed 35th" ... Monday-TuesdayWednesday, June 11-12-13. (Additional details will reach you in our April and May columns, in Chip's Newsletter, and direct from Walt.)

Organized festivities will start late Monday afternoon, June 11, with a cocktail party, probably at the Inn, followed by the Alumni Dinner given by the College at the gym for all classes reuning at this time. Namely: 1922, 1926, 1927 and 1928. The rest of Monday evening will be informal ... visiting in President Dickey's beautiful garden, and in the various Class tents.

Tuesday morning we will have a joint breakfast in Thayer Hall with '27 and '28, followed by a 10:30 Memorial Service in the White Church, with Rev. Richard "Wee"McClintock conducting. The rest of Tuesday's story is told in a single glorious phrase: - Lake Morey. For those of you who recall (and who could forget?) the afternoon and evening we spent there five years ago, that "word to the wise" will suffice. Golf, swimming, what-you-will... perhaps even a short beer...followed by dinner and dancing...

all in a setting that's New-England-in-June at its loveliest. The Players' Show will be that same evening. Wednesday we will have a farewell brunch, so that those who wish may leave by noon.

Wives and children, of course, will be more than welcome. Planned activities will be organized for the various youthful agegroups, in conjunction with '27 and '28. Those neighboring classes will be our neighbors throughout — we will be located in Streeter and Lord dormitories, on Tuck Drive, while '27 will be in Massachusetts Row, and '2B in Hitchcock and Gile.

If you're one of the many who've attended previous Reunions, you'll be there again ... you wouldn't want to miss. If you're one of those who've missed in recent years, or who've never made it... a thrill of a lifetime awaits you. In Hanover, June 11 to 13.

Dick Eberhart, who bids fair to overtake Courtney Brown and George Champion as '26's number-one news-maker, made news in a big way by being named co-winner of the Bollingen Prize in Poetry, awarded annually by the Yale University Library, with a cash award of $2,500. In the citation accompanying the award, Dick, was honored "for many true poems, and thirty years of vigorous imagination."

Ed Dooley, another contender for the news-making championship (but in a heavier weight-class) hit the headlines when he visited Rye (N.Y.) High School, to answer, in person, a petition 300 of the pupils had sent to President Kennedy, Representative Dooley, and New York's two senators ... asking for "a chance to grow up - with permanent peace, disarmament and an end of radioactive fall-out." Ed began by telling them that he'd lain awake at night wondering how to answer, and that "today's talk is the hardest of my life." Ed met the challenge well, the New York Times reported, and "the pupils listened attentively and applauded spontaneously."

A Cincinnati clipping advises us that JimTraquair, "division director of Hospital Care Corporation and a member of the Cincinnati Chapter of National Office Management Association, has been appointed to serve on the International Service Committee of the Rotary Club of Cincinnati.

"Traquair served in the Navy as a lieutenant commander during World War II. He is past president of the Dartmouth Club, Beta Theta Pi Alumni of Cincinnati and past president of the Terrace Park Country Club."

And a rarity these days ... a '26 marriage: - Jim Jenkins to Eleanor Worley Blenman in New York City, Dec. 8. Jim and Eleanor will reside in Bethel, Conn., and at 30 Sutton Place, New York.
